To do!! Luckily she already has tons of clothes cause I can't.stop.shopping!!
Has anyone picked a name for their little one yet? We are doing Lena for our little girl! ;)

We had to move r three boys into an oom together and baby girl will have their old room, which is currently very light blue and so battered lol. I'm going to paint it a very light violet color. I painted the boys' room and they got a new bunk bed in there. Now they need more closet space!Quote:

Hey ladies crashing in to say loving your girls names XX
Loving the girls names. No idea for a first name, although I did start a list of boy names a while ago. I would like to have my pops surname as all or part of the middle name. His surname is Ryan :) We just need to figure out the rest. Also, dh agreed to a gender reveal party :) So excited.
I have got a couple of names I like and finally a boys name now in case it is a boy. Find out THIS Saturday Eeek! The names I like so far are...Alice and Clara. The boys name I like is Arther. We like old fashioned names in our family lol.
Good luck Ugee :D
My names list so far, in no particular order. Connor, Owen, Logan, Caleb, Cameron and Lachlan. So far the only one dh leans towards is Lachlan.
WOOHOO BOYSWAY! Wonderful news!! What a great day!:bluecheer::bluecheer::bluecheer:
I can come up with a dozen girl names but we are stumped on the boys names! DH and I have gigantic families and we have moved all over so every time we come up with a name we know someone associated with that name....grrr...DH always said we would use his name, which is fine, but now he's waffling....more grrrr....we still have time but the 2nds half of this pregnancy is flying by!
Congrats again! So excited for you! Tell us all about your gender reveal party! I think it would have been fun to get creative but again we have such huge families that everyone would have acted like "take a number...get in line....another boy, great....."
hmmm Boysway I think Connor Ryan, Caleb Ryan, and then Lochlan Ryan in no particular order. Ive always loved the name lochlan though its my cousins little boys name, and caleb is my BIL. Check your last name initial too make sure you dont end up with bad child initials lol. Ashley Sally Simpson would not work out well lol
Adia I could find a negative connotation for every name in the book. dont let it hold you back your child will be uniquely his own! We heard it all from our family on DS and now on Aria. Aria is the name of a casino in vegas so apparently thats the only thing they can linger on. Not that it is an italian opera solo, a form of music, or meaning high intelligence. My husband and I are very musically inclined and so is DS so her musical name will fit well into our family. You have to find the good in a meaning or you just plain like it and try to block everyone else out.
I'm honestly leaning towards Lachlan as well but my mums sister has a 9 year old called Lachlan. After 8 years of mums sister not wanting anything to do with mum and our family, she is back in the picture trying to make amends with mum. So, I'm a bit stuck now.
Names are so hard! I am loving everyone's for boys as well as girls! We have ne of the boy names mentioned, but I won't say which. I don't want to sway any of your naming tactics because I know it's so hard when there's an association. I like older names, too:) Vivienne was one I have loved ever since I saw the movie "secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood", which has several actresses, old and young that I love. The character of "Vivian" in the movie was played by Ashley Judd and the older version is another gorgeous lady. I loved the character and the name. All of it struck me as beautiful. I do have a slight dilemma, which I'm looking past, however. My childhood friend just found me on Facebook. We were first best friends in kindergarten and she has a 6 nth old named Vivienne. Go figure! And then another person, who is a very sweet person, but tends to be extremely braggart about having girls, has a one year old of the same name. I was not excited when she used that name, although I didn't truly expect to need it. Oh well, though! They live in another state. And, I have had that name in my heart forever so I'm not giving it up!
I was wondering...have any of you had a difficult time in sharing the news that you've gotten your dream gender to others who happen to have several children of one gender(same as yours or different) that you know in real life? I have had a hard time with it, as I d not want them to feel the hurt that we all have felt. I happen to have several friends who have all boys. I'm talking a dozen or more ladies who have three or more boys. I'm not kidding. so I have very delicately let it be known or had allowed them to hear it's through the grapevine, as I am just acquainted with several of them, and may not see them often. Anyway, I have felt a guilt about the fact that I'm finally having a girl. Almost as if I've betrayed them...as silly as that sounds. But it's been somewhat nerve-wracking. I have told three more in the past couple of days (all three have three boys). It breaks my heart, though. Anyone else have this issue?
With having a lochlan so close in relation it may get hard to have the same name just because if you ever talk about each others kids or they are together at play and Oh lochlan did this. Which one?
3boysblessed. I have no one personally that I KNOW of but in both mine in my husbands family darn you for wanting anything but healthy, god will give you what is in his plan science cant do a thing about it blah blah. So if anyone did have a desire they most likely aren't speaking about it. I try not to go overboard with look what I bought, and overly OMG about getting our girl or the fact we will have our one of each. We announced it was a girl, we are excited, heres her name, done. You can only go so far with trying to be polite and correct because some people may get down at the fact you are having what they desired/what you wanted etc. So I just try not to be smearing it all over the place.
Personally I would be happy for friends to get their desired gender so hopefully they see it that way for you 3boysblessed. It's the "others" I really fear if I get a boy again! Like they will be smug! Hate thinking that way for my child like its a consolation prize if it's a boy. I am having terrible anxiety about Saturday now. I've seen quite a few girly looking nubs on other forums getting all girl votes and then finding out they are boys. so now I'm thinking I must have another boy in there as I'm not lucky enough to get my girl :(
3boysblessed, I am going to feel like absolute crap telling my cousin that we are expecting a boy. Admittedly, since I had my last girl she has been asking when/if we're going to have another one but, a boy this time. My Aunty (her mum) has been saying the same. My cousin has three boys and had fertility problems while ttc. I won't go into details but, when she had her last son, it was very touch and go for her for a few hours so she won't be having anymore. I love my cousin to bits so I am honestly dreading telling her. I really don't want to hurt her :( Other than that, most people I know either have one child and have no interest for more or have at least one of each.
Hi ladies just popping in to catch up with you all :-),
Boysway- Congrats on your little boy! You must be so excited!
Has anyone else had a 20w gender confirmation? We must be near all the DNS of July/August ladies finding out soon?
I'm 20 weeks this week and have my scan tomorrow- very nervous the tech will suddenly find a willy! (16 wk was a 'looks like a Girl' Outcome) still haven't even told anyone I'm pregnant!! Planning on announcing tomorrow when we have a definite on the gender, I'm a lot smaller than I was with the boys and no where near as much movement (kicking) either.
How is everyone doing? X
I hope its ur pinkie in there princess ! Fx
Ive had fun reading all your name ideas! I'm not there yet mentally. Three more weeks until my scan when we hopefully find out gender, and hopefully we hear girl.
My best friend is pregnant with her first and is at the same gestation as me. I found out yesterday that she's having a girl. I'm happy for her but I will be so jealous if I end up with another boy. I'm so scared!
I had my 20 week anatomy scan and gender confirmation last week. She looked quick to confirm and showed us 3 lines so I'm confident its a girl now... I mean 2 ultrasounds 5 weeks apart should be convincing right? Ahhhh so happy!

Yay Linz :)
Phew Linz now you can really relax and enjoy :)
I hope you hear girl in 3 weeks happy! It will be great if you can share the girly bumps and excitement with your best friend. I know your fear tho as I have it too.
I'm waking up in the night thinking about my scan for Saturday. Just keep thinking how different my emotions will be after Saturday from extreme happiness to extreme dissopitment so it really feels like D-Day!
I keep thinking about my scan as well this is going to be our only child together as he has 3 girls and I have 5 boys so 1 is quite enough so I know it will be the end of my dream if it's a boy even though I will love it and it means my partner will have his first son( even though he wants a girl 2 ) we've picked names now though so just waiting to see now 12 days and counting I do hope you get your desired genderQuote:

Hi ladies, my heart is pounding! Went for my scan - baby was once again facing inwards - couldn't get a profile pic and struggled for what seemed eternity to look for the gender as baby's legs were quite close together but the tech did freeze the screen underneath baby and pointed out the 3 lines + couldn't see any evidence of a boy. She confidently said :XX:Girl! We are thrilled!
Hope everyone else's scans aren't too far away + you all get what you wish for- I look forward to everyone's updates :-) x
Congrats Pinkprincess , great news!!!
Ugee - I can completely relate to how you feel! I knew if I heard b/g twins at my scan it would be one of the happiest days of my life and if I had heard b/b twins I would be so incredibly disappointed and it would be a long 25 weeks waiting to meet them and try to come to terms with it. It's such a scary feeling knowing that the scan has such potential to make you so very happy or so very upset. Good luck and I hope you heard pink!
My anatomy scan is tomorrow and I'm so nervous. I was 15 weeks when they told me b/g and I'm so terrified at 21 weeks things have changed. I have already told everyone that it's b/g twins so I'll feel so stupid if they were wrong at 15 weeks. I haven't bought hardly anything girly yet, I'm just too paranoid. DH is quite good at reading U/S scans and was with me at 15 weeks and tells me I'm absolutely nuts and both he and the tech are positive it's b/g twins, but still doubt remains for me! I'll be so excited to just get through tomorrow and get confirmation! After tomorrow I think I'll finally feel ok buying a dress for her :)
Congratulations pink princess , you must be super happy!
Bluebonnet thanks for your understanding and glad I have others whom relate to how I'm feeling. I've got everything crossed for Saturday. Hope you can also relax after your scan and enjoy your girly shopping :)
Congrats pink! When are you due so we can add you to the list!
OMG ladies I CAN WALK!! This brace is WAYYYYYYYYYY better than the one the doc gave me my first time around with DS. It is INSTANT relief I'm sure I will feel even better tomorrow. I can even roll over in bed without screaming!!!
Pink congrats!
Nahri good for you!! Spd is so horrendous, I'm really hoping it holds off for me this time.
Anatomy scan on the 26th for me. Add me to the list of people who had 15-16 week gendee ultrasounds and were told the gender with confidence but are still freaking out that things could change. Ughhh
Congrats!! Pink princess!

Pink princess, that is awesome! Congrats!!!!
Nahri, Boysway and Ugee- thanks for the feedback in the issue of telling others. The women I know have mostly openly said how they'd have loved to have had a girl (or the one who has two girls said she wants a boy...no more yet yet though) before their last one and haven't been successful in it. One of them was very adamant that their now third son would be her girl. She was really sad, and i just tried to point put all of the bright sides of three boys. I never told anyone I wanted either or gender because it can really sting when it doesn't happen. I've seen how GD can hurt so much. I guess I've experienced that smugness,or at least it sure felt I was getting that from some (not friends, but just people we know from the community and our kids' school, strangers...) after my second and third boys. I definitely do not want to rub it in at all, either. I hate those stupid Facebook posts that some people share : "if you have a (name specific gender here that someone you know does not have!) blah blah blah....". Some people have no common sense.
Boysway, I hope that it goes ok when you tell your cousin. That is very difficult. My cousin's wife has PCOS and they hve had difficulty conceiving at all, but they have a 4 year old daughter and I know they wanted a boy when they were surprised this time being pregnant, but they are having another girl and may not ever have the chance for another:( she is due 3 weeks after me. I also have another relative who has PCOS and was completely surprised a couple years ago with a second boy. When she found out I was having a girl, she completely shut me out, never congratulated me, even. She is just that way, though and it isn't my problem. Still hurts though...but people who hurt do that kind of thing, so I'm just giving her space. I'll stop rambling now, but thanks for the feedback and listening.
I love having all of you ladies here. I'm also really happy that we've had such a high success rate on this thread with sways here and I hope they keep coming for everyone!
Sorry guys I keep crashing your thread its way more active than mine!! Pink princess massive congrats your thread has seen soooo much success which is lovely. Blue bonnet go buy your little lady a dress or five ( tomorrow after your scan confirmation) I too am still stressing my lady is still a lady at 35 weeks even though I saw the three lines and made her check twice and she said she was positive my DH thinks I'm crazy! That's why I love you guys. 3, boys ugggghh I so loathe those Facebook posts too so pathetic!! I too have been perhaps overly sensitive to those I know that would love a girl not telling them the gender unless they ask me, talking up my boys etc XX
we must be quite the chatty kathy due date club lol
Or I have no life he he!! Xx
It's lovely to be able to come on here and have kind words from ladies going through the same life as yourself. I'm so pleased our groups sways are going great although I'm now very freaked out that my sway has been the one to fail tho as we are on such a roll! Fx I keep the statistics high with a successful sway too.
Nahri- as your the resident expert of looking at nubs...there isn't any chance that my girly nub could be boy is there? I keep looking at it and thinking I see a shadow. Also most girly nubs look just straight and flat but mine has like a bend or it's two bits? I know the nub theory is just that a theory but I'm so freeking out about tomorrow. I need to get a grip lol!
Everything crossed for you for tomorrow Ugee :D
