Flava - when were you TTC DD4? I think maybe we were on IG at the same time...I got my BFP with ds3 in October 2008. I'm sorry you felt abandoned after you heard girl - I only really knew the pink swayers there, but you and I could have supported each other if we'd known each other better then! :HH:Quote:

So, when would be the PERFECT time for a nub shot? The only reason I ask is I want to go get a real quick scan to rule out multiples(highly unlikely I know but I get anxiety very easily and I'm trying to stay stress free this pregnancy) and I'm not going to my dating scan that the Dr. wants...I'm going to pay the $90 at the fun u/s place, have her look for a placenta for me for placement, rule out 2, check for a living baby of course(having anxiety about that as well) and while we're at it get a nub shot! Yippee! So I'm 11w exactly today...when should I book it? Thanx Girls!!!
OOOOOOOOOH...So exciting, Doula! I say 12wks right on the dot since the nub is supposed to be around 11-13wks. Just my 2 cents. Can't wait to see some pics!!! :cheer:
I'd Say aS cloSe to the 13th Week aS poSSIble, then the 'Still time to change' option iS ruled out!Quote:

Z- no, not at all! No worries.....I go off on tangents sometimes....it's hard not to! LOL
ELP and Blue- Thank you!! I too thought that 12w was the magic time...but if there's a better chance at the nub not changing, I'll opt for the later date:) OMG that's 2w away.....kinda nerve racking. Well, off to go book an appt!! EEEK!!!
ETA- Well, looking at my schedule for when my DH can watch the kids for a few minutes while I get it done, I'm looking at 12w 6d. :) Im excited!!!
Ooooohh, how exciting! Now we can stalk DM for her nub shot!
ThatS What I WaS DM, 12+6:agree:
Oh yay, have you made the appointment? Have you, have you yet?!!
Im so stalking!!! http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticon...moticon-04.gif Go after 12 weeks!
Yay so glad you're gonna get a nub shot DM! I suggest you go as close to 13 weeks as possible cause on the other site the techs are always on the fence if its like 11 wks or so and if it's close to 13 weeks they don't give the (the nub can still angle up response). haha i think we will all stalk your shots!!!
So girls, I don't know if I should get a gender scan or not. my SIl and MIL keep wanting me to find out, they can't take the suspense. Agghhh! So who all is team green still?? I thnk ELp is right? I will need so much patience to keep waiting!
UGH! The u/s place here has moved 2 hours away from me!!! And the other u/s place does not like to do scans before you've had your 18w diagnostic... :( So.....my next option is when we are on holiday in the Okanagan(that coming weekend). I've phoned and left a message and am trying to book it for the Sat. Oct.15th in the am. I'll be 13w 3d. Is that ok?
Have you ever NOT found out? If so, and you've had that experience...what did you like most? If you have always found out...I have to say that the surprise is pretty amazing at the end:) Especially since everyone has guessed girl with your nub shots. Imagine the feeling when you find out that incredible surprise at the end!!! And the bonus part...if it does happen to be a boy- that feeling at birth will overpower the disappointment you may feel. What do you feel is best for YOU?Quote:

You guys are all great in here!! i love the chit chat...even if I don't post a whole lot!:bigsmile:
Ok ladies one more hour left before I leave for my 1st U/S....I am a little sacred and excited at the same time! I am am little disappointed that I will be going by myself to this appt. but there was no way DH could take another day of from work! So I will be all by myself when I hear that there are twins! :rofl: Actually I am praying to just hear that I am farther along than 7-8 weeks...than that would mean this m/s will be over way sooner than if I am only 7-8weeks! Bt this day has been so slow...and the next 45mins are gonna kill me!! :sigh:
Glad everyone is doing well.......B we will miss you! But understand why you need a break....take care of your self and that precious bundle!
I know how GD can effect you....believe me...I had it bad with DS#4 and if you ever read my blog you can read about the guilt I had over this GD while losing my baby.....losing him put things in a different light for me.....so while I will be a little disappointed to hear boy again.....I will be more thrilled with alive heathly and in my arms! Sorry just my take on GD for my life!
Agh princess - it's time for me to go to bed! Luckily it's my day off work tomorrow so I'll be back bright and early to check how your scan went :D
I can't wait to hear how the scan went, princess!!
Princess...Thinking PINK thoughts for you and hoping to hear from you soon.
Ok Ladies...I am back...and I one have one answer to the 2 questions at hand.. 1st question How many?.............DRUM ROLL PLEASE..........1 :awe:
2nd question How far along am I?.........I still don't know! The u/s tech would not tell me that she said that you can talk to the Dr. about....ugh...which means I go back on Monday to see him...so I will know that question then! :sigh:
But until then here is a peek a the little one.
Attachment 601
Beautiful baby, princess! I'm glad you only have one in there - I'll be nervous about that until my first scan.
I actually wanted to be surprised with #2. DH really wanted to know (he's actually the one who wants a daughter...I've always been a boy mamma and always imagined myself with boys--but that's another story). Anyway, at the US I told the tech she can show him but I turned away. well, he was super good at keeping it a secret. His own mother could not get it out of him. The only problem--The fact that I knew how much he has always wanted a girl, I could tell by the way he was acting it was another boy. He said he had his poker face on but I just knew cause there was no twinkle in his eye when she told him. Soooo, yes the surprise was nice because I really didn't know cause he kept telling me how good his poker face was and I was just thrilled cause I REALLY wanted a brother for my son. I agree, surprises are nice. I kinda have my hopes up since my nubs look pretty girly, so it will almost be worse if I hear boy at delivery LOL! I think I will ask for gender shot and I will know for myself without really being told.Quote:

How frustrating that you have to wait the weekend princess! That's such a cute photo though, a teeny tiny baby :D
Congrats, Foxy!! I'm due June 4th, so we're pretty close! Here's to a happy and healthy 9 months!
Congratulations Foxy!
Yay Foxy!!!! Congratulations!!!! xoxo

Oh foxy I also had some spotting and hope baby sticks! Now make a ticker lol
Congrats Foxy and welcome to our little chit chat group! :welcome:
My DH said that picture of the baby looks different than the other ones with the boys at 8 weeks....it looks bigger! So I maybe farther along than than 8 weeks...we shall see what Dr. say on Monday....and yes to wait the whole weekend...:sigh: is gonna be such a drag.Quote:

Princess, here's my pic that I was talking about. I think your baby looks a wee bit further along than mine I think. Hope your m/s subsides soon. :HH: I know it's sooooooooo tough, especially when you're in charge of other kiddos!

:welcome:, Foxy!!! BIG CONGRATS!!! :celebrate:
Hi girls, how is everyone doing?
Foxy - congrats on your BFP! I'm due on the 24th of May too.
I am feeling sicker and sicker. My midwives haven't gotten back to me yet, but I'm wondering if I should push for an appointment soon to see if they can recommend anything. This morning sickness stuff is no joke - I always kinda thought ppl were exagerating when they said how bad it was! Guess I was just lucky with the first two.
Has anyone told their family yet? Did you get good reactions? Any bad reactions? I am hoping to keep my pregnancy secret for a bit longer but we are visiting family this weekend - not sure how I can keep it secret if I am looking so sick! I think the reactions will be ok, just want to wait until I think of a creative way to share the news.
Hope you all have a good weekend!
Hey, tweedle!!! Congrats!!! I didn't know you got a BFP! YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!! I'm so very sorry you've got bad m/s. The only thing that got my through it w/my last 2 was that I was growing a healthy bean in there and the sickness would stop at some point. My heart goes out to you b/c I've been there!!! :HH:Quote:

After DH told her (she just adores DH so he's my secret weopon when it comes to my Mom), she was a lot better and couldn't help expressing her excitement that this one would hopefully be a girl. It seems that as much as I want a girl this time, my Mom wants a girl 100x more than I do (if that's even possible!). Talk about pressure...It'll really suck telling her it's a boy and I really hope he (if it is a "he") will get the same attention from her as the other 2. She's just sort of starting to give our DS#2 almost equal amounts of love/attention as she gives DS#1. Jeeeze...It makes me really sad!
So sorry for the rant! I hope all goes well w/your family visit. I'm sending you lots of NO M/S vibes!!!
I'm sorry :( Morning sickness sucks a$$. I've had it worse with each child(longer by 2 weeks each time...so this time I should have it until 22 weeks! Yippee!), and this time is by far the nastiest:( I feel ill ALL day long...need to eat constantly but don't feel like it....gag and dry heave most of the day. I don't like to take anything for it so I just suffer through it. I do take B6 100mg a day with my folic acid though. It's supposed to help. I don't know if it does though...too afraid to stop taking it to see...LOLQuote:

Everyone was totally fine with the news.....they think we're crazy anyway, so it was not a shock at all to them. Kinda nice actually. I figure if they weren't shocked that hubby and I had our baby at home by ourselves....nothing is going to shock them! LOL!
Oh Blue! I am in the same boat! My mom is REALLY hoping for a girl this time...not just for her but for me....she knows how desperately I want a daughter. So it's even more pressure. And other than our kids, my BIL has a boy and they plan on adopting another boy in the future. My sis won't have children. One other BIL will never have children either...so that leaves us and one other BIL to supply the grandparents with their GIRL. The thing that pisses me off is that the one BIL who will most likely start TTC with his wife soon will get all girls...I can see it. Sigh~ Oh well. What will be will be.Quote:

And I feel you pain!! I have had horrid m/s with all my pg's.....with Ds#1 and#2 I thought I would die...but then with DS#3 and #4 it wasn't as bad and I could deal......but this time slam right back to bad again...sigh....I keep saying just a few more weeks and it will be over..just a few more weeks and it will be over! :pray:
And for so reason today I am actually thinking I would love to have another boy! It would make things so much easier since I have everything......plus I just keeping thing about what my Evan would have looked like and I keep see a sweet little boy in a car seat sleeping. I think the hardest part would be for me picking a name.....but maybe not......DS#2 wants another brother....when you ask him why he says because I like my brothers! That one has my heart no doubt he is a love and my cuddler.
So I am really thinking right now I want another boy...if by chance I hear girl she would be more than loved.....but i may miss not have that little boy....stange I know!
I am excited at the prospect of another boy too princess - and I know my boys would love another brother!
I have been extremely lucky never to have had morning sickness before (don't hit me!) but I've felt rotten all afternoon and I have heartburn (also haven't suffered with that!). Must be my age :D
I've just pimped my Phil & Ted's pushchair :D I had been considering a new pushchair but I think we may still need the double sometimes, even if DS2 only hops on now and again when he's tired (though I'll sling the bubba lots too). Ours' is looking a little ropey so I bought a new shopping basket, new handle bar cover and new seat inserts. It'll be just like having a new pushchair but at a fraction of the cost! This I feel I can do now because we use the pushchair for DS2 regardless of whether a new baby is on its way.
I'm with you and Z:) I feel really sad thinking about NEVER having a daughter...but when I think about my little blue bundle...it makes me pretty happy inside. We have a great name...our boys are thrilled with another baby and really don't care in the end what it is.....my hubby would love either...we KNOW boys...have all the stuff...it's easier to wiz in the trees when you need to on long trips(LOL!). I love my boys, they love each other and I know once the pain eases a bit....I will feel complete:) Once I find out what I'm having, I'm going to start making stuff for babe as well, so if it's BLUE....I've picked the most beautiful quilt to make him:) I'm excited about that. I'm thinking about our Disney trip in a few years with my Boys....plus it's just easier in the Xmas cards! LOL Dh, myself, and the boys:) LOLQuote:
