Cute announcement hitme.
People really just should remember to keep their mouths shut sometimes.
I had a friend carve pumpkins one for each kid then a daddy pumpkin and the mommy pumpkin had a lil baby inside:)
Dreaming- aww bet the boys loved it. Exciting.
Sending you the biggest supportive hugs ever, I know I'll need some from you when my time comes I have to date had the worst most insensitive comments. I haven't shared our news yet and the longer I can keep it within the close circle the better.
I'm dreading the negativity about a) another one b) another girl.
I don't cope very well with it all.
Left alone I truly believe GD would never be an issue.
I LOVE your announcements mommas :)
Very cute announcements. Hitme i know its hard gd n ppl make it harder. I havent annouced yet but i know theyll start by saying we know its another boy. Hope so it ll b over soon when the little one arrives. Yeah but its hard on mommys to feel this way
I'm so sorry you have to deal with dumb people Hitme..... We are here to support you & listen whenever you need to rant!!
True & Hitme, sending love & massive hugs your way!:hugs::heart::heart:
Dreaming~ love your reveal as well!!
True blue how many girls do you have?
Big big hugs ladies. I feel so sorry for all of you experiencing gender disappointment :( Sometimes this whole process is hard. I have to say how shocked I am that I actually feel none, like I didn't think I would be devastated but I thought I would be at least a bit sad. I think just for us and our family that a third boy was just meant to be. It just seems so right to me and I'm really excited about our third little boy while also feeling totally done and complete as a family with three boys. I know there are many reasons why everyone doesn't feel this way but I do know we are all blessed to be having a baby :)
Unfortunately I am still feeling so exhausted and sick to my stomach at 15 weeks. I thought I would be feeling better by now. I've never felt sick so long in past pregnancies. I really want to enjoy this pregnancy but it is hard when I feel like throwing up after every meal!
I feel like I'm sicker, longer with each pregnancy.... I was 15 wks before I started noticing that I was beginning to feel better. I'm 13+4 and I feel like hell.

Hugs, Hitme and True. Been there :(
I've been dealing with a lot of emotions these past few weeks since finding out. I'm honestly not as excited as one would expect. I was really geared up to just have another boy and had really started loving being a Mom to all boys. I'll still have them but I no longer will be a Mommy to just boys and I really feel that's so special. I feel so guilty not being so excited since I know so many would be so thrilled to have a girl and I remember what it's like having GD and desperately wanting a girl. We waited till just this past week to announce (I'll post the photo below) on facebook. I felt like I needed more time before announcing but my Mom and my MIL both (who we told gender to) announced on facebook and I had to have them go delete it. Some people saw so I ended up feeling like I should just go ahead and announce at that point to keep more from 'accidentally' telling others.

I hear ya! I had one good week at 15 weeks and then the nausea came back. I have made improvement as I'm not throwing up anymore but the nausea is still not fun.
That's how I seem to be. With my first DS it only lasted till 14 weeks and my last pregnancy I had nausea up till 16 weeks. I'm now 17 weeks and still nauseous :sad:. I'm praying it's gone by 20 but I literally could cry about still being sick. It's really gotten to me this past week and has made me feel down :(
Hope4 thanks for sharing that. I bet I would feel the same way, goes to show we are creatures of much emotion all the time.
I sure as heck hope I'm not sick for much longer too! I can't imagine.

Does anyone else drink lots of black tea? Is this bad?
Sorry the ladies still sick.iam hoping the 2nd try brings relief to myself as my house and kids are out of control w me not having the strength to do anything
Jenni- love the announcement. Are u a photog? Or had someone take them. I love photography and practicing on my camera.
There is really some special about 3 boys but your girl will fit right in. After my last one the boys all said we needed a baby girl:)
Jj
People drink coffee prego and pretty sure black tea has less caffeine. I wouldn't drink lots but couple cups should be ok
I love ALL of your announcements! Seriously - you guys have the CUTEST littles and each and every one of you has such a beautiful family. So happy to see all of your families, even though others are insensitive. Things like that just aren't fair.
Love the announcements ladies. Gender reveal is not a big thing over here so I won't be doing one but love seeing them.
I hope the nausea passes soon for all of you that are still sick.
Ash I drink usually one and occasionally two mugs of black tea everyday and have always done so. Because I don't drink too much of it I don't cut down during pregnancy.
50 hrs to go until big scan. I am taking the day off work and going out for lunch and a pregnancy massage after. Then I may just have to go and buy this little ones 1st outfit.
Sounds like a fun day pearl. Is dh going with?
Thought you ladies would love this. Anyone documenting their prego in a fun way? I always take lots of pics but every time AFTER babe is born I see some super cute way someone did it and go darn next time lol.

So much to catch up on as been away for a week! Will have to read through all the updates tomorrow.
I have my 13+2 week scan tomorrow and I'm terrified of seeing a boy nub. I plan to take a video of the scan on my phone so I can have a good look after. Wish me luck as I definitely need it!
Good luck Bobster!!!!
Looking forward to your photos Bobster
Good luck x
Fx Bobster!! I'm going to take a video of my 20 week ultrasound as well since this will be my last.... Just hope the tech lets me!!
Pearl, that sounds like a great day you have planned! Fx for you as well!
FX Bobster! Can't wait!
Thanks. I've hardly slept at all. Just keep worrying about feeling disappointed and being guilty for that! I love my ds more than life itself so I know whatever the sex once it's here I will be ok but it's just hard as I don't know them yet so I haven't had chance to fall in love. I don't particularly bond with them in pregnancy. Well maybe slightly when I start to feel kicks.
I hope the lady doesn't mind me taking a video. Should I ask or just do it? Didn't even consider asking before you mentioned it junie. This will be our last too. I don't want to go through it all again!!!
Cant wait to see your video bobster!! Good luck today :luck:
Good luck today bobster. That is a great idea about recording the scan on your phone.
I am the same as you I bond so much better with my baby when I know who is joining the family. That is the main reason I decided to find out.
DH always makes the big appointments with me. He would make the routine ones too but I told him there was no need and to save the holiday days for when we really need them
Goodluck Pearl and Bobster for your scans xx. I'm super excited to see your little bubs :)
Well I'm so disappointed. I didn't take a video but I wish I had as she only gave me one picture and there's no nub at all! :( last time I got about 5 pictures. I was nearly crying on the way out and my other half was annoyed. I haven't told him about the nub thing so he didn't understand why I was disappointed. But the baby is healthy and measuring big (14 weeks). I know my dates so I know that I ovulated at the right time so I think I'm actually only 13+2.
I didn't see any boy nubs but I didn't see a girl one either so I'm still non the wiser. I think I'm going to pay for an early gender scan in 2 weeks as there's no way I can wait until 20 week scan.
How did yours go pearl?Attachment 27897
Sorry scan didn't go as you planned. It really is too early to really know by ultrasound. 18-20 is the most accurate as long as baby wants to cooperate. Still beats waiting till 40+ weeks lol
:( I could cry. I was so looking forward to multiple pictures to scrutinise and she only gave us this one. Do u think that's the nub that's sticking up? If it is it's definitely a boy. The picture underneath is the same its just a duplicate
Sorry your baby didn't cooperate bobster. Mine didn't either at my 14 week scan. But delighted that your little one is doing well.
Mine is not for another 18 hrs. 1 more sleep to go.
Bobster it doesnt seems like a nub. At this time cant be that obvious fot nub to stick out like this. Dont worry. I know easy to say than done. Book urself a private scan so u dont get all stressed out. I know its hard to wait

Pay for the early scan - I would. I found out early with the other 2 of my youngest ones, one at 17 (which was the earliest this company would do it), and then at an emergency scan (I had a bleed) at 14.5, she told me "yes is early, and yes they all start out with the same junk, but that's a boy". Not s doubt in her mind at 14.5.

Thanks guys. I really hope it's not a nub. I'm sure I didn't see it when she was doing the crown to rump length as I was looking closely. Also the profile looks different from my ds so that gives me slight hope. I looked into the private gender scans and they are £80 which is a lot but I may just do it as I desperately want to know. My 20 week scan isn't until the 3rd December which feels like forever away. I hope I don't get the same sonographer
Please start a new thread! This is too big! Thanks!
