Hoping - So glad you made it here chick :-) So nice to see you again and look forward to chatting more. xxxx
:wave: cvd I watch that show all the time. I was watching a labor and delivery show a couple weeks ago and I was crying like a baby, lol. Love the boy name by the way. So excited you are half way through it all. Can't wait to see that precious baby of yours.
Hoping: Welcome! My first baby my ms settled down at 11 weeks. Hate to say it though...it was a boy. BUT at least that calms your fears a bit about m/c. And if it helps any...my mom was the least sick with me and I have two brothers. So girls aren't always worse.
Bama: GL at your NT tomorrow.
OneLastDream and Jadis: :bighug: I really hope you feel better soon loves.
Emmy: I know it isn't funny (the way you described it) but I was kind of laughing a bit picturing you watching that YT video. We have got to stop torturing ourselves.
I just realized that I have 21 days until my gender scan and 6 weeks until my first of two 3D/4D scans! I am going to make dang on sure this baby is what they say it is, lol.
Hehe the shows are just so addicting! And thank you :)!Quote:

I have my "gender scan" on Thursday. The tech in our town is TERRIBLE. Known to have so many opposites (I heard he has a 60% success ratio). If you aren't sure, why guess? That's why we did the 3D as well. We seen our little Maverick's unit PERFECTLY in 3D atleast 5 different times lol so I am anxious to see if he says girl or boy. If he says girl I will probably die laughing!
They are addicting! My gender scan is at 20 weeks and my 3D isn't until 23 weeks. So we will be finding out the gender before the 3D. Actually we may get a few 3D scans at the doctor. I am not using them for my 3D package though because my old OB has a package where you can get it at two different points in your pregnancy. It's 300 bucks but I did it for my first and I feel I am obligated to do it with this one also. Plus I don't like the technology at the new OB's office. It doesn't seem as good. Let me know what the tech says. You would think after so many scans they would have better rates.Quote:

Hi Hoping congrats on your pregnancy. Don't worry about m/s was really mild this time round (really unlike with the boys and it stopped ages ago, probably about 10 weeks ish - was that mild i barely remember it.Quote:

Don't judge me ladies, lol. I bought a girl item for good luck today. It was only 12.00 and I figured I could give it to my hubby's cousin (who it definitely having a girl) if we hear boy on the 29th.
It is your choice to, its your baby as well and you are the one doing the hard work! I can understand him not wanting to know (especially as men don't really have a preference) but could you not discuss you finding out but just not telling him. Seems unfair that he is making a decision for you thats making things harder for you xQuote:

Thanks mrs p he would just get the hump and its actually him that wants a girl more than me - it think he is scared as he will find it harder to bond if he hears boy where as when its born he knows it wont matter so he doesnt want to be upset before hand if that makes sense. If i keep feeling like this i might accidentally have a scan of my own down some time when he isnt about :-)
Ohh!!! My bad I read 6 days not 6 weeks lol makes more sense now :)Quote:

I feel like a nub shot would be a good in-between step - if it looks girly, I will be happy, if it looks boyish, I'll know what to expect at my anatomy scan (but my hopes won't be completely dashed just yet.) I am trying really hard not to think about it, but I am having a hard time. 6 weeks seems forever away!
Good luck with your scan Bama Belle - be sure to update us all.
I'm so sorry you are having such a hard tim with gd Onelastdream - I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like. Be kind to yourself xx
Welcome to the newbies - I hope your pink dreams come true x
Hope all those feeling awful are feeling better soon - that is why I am so infrequent on here, have been feeling gross - I'm glad this is my last time dealing with m/s, counting down til my 12 week scan in 2 weeks.....
Ps. Love the name Maverick cvd - what a little dude he will be xx
Yep me, lol. Thankfully I only have a couple more days. Actually a nub shot will just make it worse. You will find yourself nubsessing, posting to ultrasound forums for guesses, looking at other babies nubs to compare, drawing lines to see the angle, not that I have done any of this mind you, lol. I know how hard the wait is!Quote:

A girl who is like family to DH is due a week ahead of me, she also has 1 boy. She's super competitive and just rude, I've mentioned this before a while back but for example when DH and I got engaged her congratulations was "as if you gave her a ring before I got one from my boyfriend". How sweet right? Lol. Anyway she found out she's having a girl (she's actually upset about it, she wanted another boy), when exchanging names - we told her we picked Maverick as ours. She replied with "Nice name! That's also ----'s stripper name". This ---- is also a past fling of mine I guess you could say, I was younger (also DH's older brothers best friend, tad odd lol). Number 1: when someone tells you the name they picked, you don't spit on it. Hearing the name we want for our sweet baby boy is also a stripper name of someone we know isn't really something that we'd take as a compliment or put a smile on my face. Why not keep your comments to yourself if thats what you have to say. Maybe I'm just over angry, I really don't know. But also, number 2: is it now weird if we stick with the name, knowing its a now stripper name of someone I had a past with and also DHs brothers best friend???? We see him occasionally.
On one hand I'm thinking whatever it's our baby's name but on the other I'm thinking ill always relate that now. Ugh. She PURPOSELY tries to ruin things, that's why I'm so angry I think. I can't stand her. I feel like we would have eventually found out of course, but it's the way she said it... Like she was throwing it in our face or something. I'm really upset :(
Sorry it took me so long to update ladies. Baby is healthy but I am pretty sure we are having another girl. The tech said it was still early but she guessed girl. Looked really girly to me. Is it still early?
I was surprised at how poor the u/s pics turned out. I will post it tomorrow. The potty shot was not very clear, even in person. I keep tell myself that at least DD will have a sister and that is something I always wanted growing up. I know I should be happy she is healthy and measuring right on track but I was a little disappointed. I wasn't strict with my diet, so I didn't have a good sway. I was just hoping. I have an elective gender scan next Tuesday, just to confirm.
Cvd - If you and DH love the name then don't let her ruin it for you!
Bama.. I'm sorry lovely. I don't know if it's early or not (I might have missed the part where you mentioned how far along you are.. Lets call that baby brain.. ;) ) In any case, I hope she was wrong and it is your boy xx
Cvd. In all honesty, that kind of relationship with a name would possibly put me off of it. If it was something I was going to constantly think about. However, I don't think - if it's not an honest to goodness problem for you - that you should ditch it. Maybe wait a bit. See how you feel about it over a little while, and if you really feel strange about it, toss it. No one else will relate his name to anything remotely like that so it's not a "reason" as such to reject it. Does that make sense? I love the name Maverick and it was on my list but my dh wouldn't have it. ;) xx
Bama sorry you didn't hear boy. But as someone who grew up in the middle of 5 other sisters. I can honestly say that sisters are a brilliant support and true friendship. If I do get my boy this time I will definitely be aiming for a girl with the next one. But for some reason I think it will take me several attempts at swaying Before I get my son
Cvd I wouldn't tell this friend any more names and if she asks just say you haven't decided on any yet. That is what we do as people always have an opinion before the baby is born but rarely will they criticise the name of the baby in your arms
Not that you did any of those things, huh? :wink:Quote:

I am super excited for your gender scan! Your nub shots looked very promising. :)
CVD - After ds2, I no longer share the baby's name before it's born, because people can't seem to keep their opinions to themselves sometimes. I loved Charlie, (but I don't like to use nicknames as names, so we were going to name him Charles) and my MIL was all like, "I HATE Charles, it makes me think of Charles Manson." So then dh started disliking the name. And it was out. :( And then later I mentioned something to my MIL about how she ruined Charlie for me, and she said "Oh, I like Charlie. I just don't like Charles." Pain in the butt! So with ds3 we told no one except our boys and swore them to secrecy. We will do the same this time.
I have a similar problem, but to a lesser degree, with the name Samuel. DH really likes that name, and has mentioned it with both ds2 and ds3. I also like it, but I had a serious boyfriend in college whose middle name was Samuel and we always said we would name our son Samuel if we had one. So it just seems weird to me. Now, this is a person I will never see again, but we are FB friends. So I might consider it this time. In your situation, I do think it would be odd to use the stripper name of someone who know. Just knowing it is a stripper name would make me not want to use it! I'm not defending this knucklehead who told you, but maybe she thought you should know now rather than finding out after the fact that you had named your son the stripper name of an ex-fling.
Sorry you didn't hear boy bama! I really hope your elective gender scan they say boy and maybe they were just wrong! Sending my blue dust to you!
And thank you ladies for your comments. I'm super upset but I don't think I can use it now, I really loved it but its too weird I think. I know we would have found out eventually i'm sure but just the way she said it really made me angry. I hate when people just like to rain on your parade. Back to the drawing board for us :( hopefully we can find another soon so I'm not sad over this lol
I think I will be taking your advice of not telling till baby is here! It's easy to relate a name to something else when baby isn't here but once in your arms, if the name fits, nothing else would matter! Thanks again ladies!
CVD I can totally understand where you are coming from with not wanting to name the baby Maverick now. However, even though your friend was probably trying to be a big witch, she has actually done you a favor. Just think if you found out after you named the baby Maverick!! So in a way she did you a favor maybe??
We would have probably looked at it a lot differently if we found out we named him that after he was born! But now going INTO it knowing seems too weird. You know what I mean? So maybe she did do us a favour, but this guy has been a stripped for 2 years now and we've never heard his stripper name brought up before lol so I think we would have been fine, I wish I never told her :(Quote:

People feel free to critique the name you've chosen before the baby is here, but they won't feel as entitled to do that once they're looking at the baby. Good luck coming up with a new name! Can't wait to hear what you pick!
I feel for you cvd - my sil and my mum and my mil are all about as tactful as that - the thing is though they don't seem to know they are doing it unless they are very calculated. If she had said anything different I think I would use the name anyway but something like that may keep popping up in your head - I would be angry too x
I DID do all those things Jennaesue :rofl: But you know if you are getting the scan anyway and you feel comfortable asking for the nub shot then by all means. Honestly there is nothing wrong with a little obsessing. As long as you go in knowing that 1. Guesses are just guesses 2. Nubs can change and 3. Theories are just theories then you will be just fine. Go ahead get that nub shot girlfriend. Then maybe we can all have a guess at it, lol.Quote:

Hey Praying, do you have a link for the board on babycentre where we can post a pic for guesses?
Bama - Sorry you didn't hear blue honey. I have two older brothers and the one thing I always wished for was a sister. So if things don't change then your DD will have another girl to bond with...other than her sweet mommy of course :wink:
Just home from my midwives, they've moved my due date up! Now, instead of June 25th, it's June 19th (my birthday!). Wouldn't a girl make a lovely birthday gift for me? Gah! I'm crossing my fingers and toes until our ultrasound in exactly 14 days...the countdown in painful. Today, my babe's heartrate was 150...is that on the high side?
Aw, how special that your due date is your birthday! While it would not be a very fun way to spend your birthday, it would be nice to celebrate with your little one every year. :)Quote:

Well, I don't really have an option for a scan before my 20 week ultrasound. Unless I call up and demand one or pretend I am having some sort of problem. And that is just not like me. My next regular appointment is on February 1, and I'll be 17 weeks, 4 days. I was considering calling them to see if they would do the scan then, but I doubt they would do it that far before 20 weeks. I imagine I'll just schedule my scan for 2 or 3 weeks from then.Quote:

EmmyRoo, your definitely not doing it alone. I don't know what I would without being able to come in here and talk about how I feel. Only my DH, Mum and a close friend knows about us swaying. I even wish I haven't told my friend though. She kind of made fun of it, which hurt me but I know she didn't mean it in an awful way. I think she forgets how much she also wanted a daughter as we use to talk about it a lot when we were younger. She now has one so probably doesn't think about it anymore. She made me godmother and says now you have a daughter too. Nice and sweet but not really the same.
HopingWishingPraying, welcome and congrats.
Jennaesue, defintiely obsessing about gender. It is all I think about it. I seem to wake up every morning and it is already in my head. Driving me crazy. I am scared to get a nub shot but know I will not be able to help myself and will have too. I have my 12 week scan in 11 days so not long. I just want some hope even if it turns out not to be. I would just like to feel happy about it all for atleast part of the pregnancy.
This has to be a good sign, doesn't it. What a gift that would be....Quote:
