I am not an expert but it's not a very clear boy.
Thorz -- I am stunned. So the tech was 100% confident? to my eyes, the first picture does indeed look like a boy. When I got my scan there, the tech was able to show me that it was a boy, not just from the potty shot, but also the profile view. But I was a a tad bit further along than you are.
I really understand you need your time to process this and may not even be ready to talk much to us. I just want to send you some big virtual hugs. Of course, any baby is an enormous blessing and you know that. So I won't refrain from congratulating you! I am sure this baby boy will be just as adorable and handsome as your other boys.
As you know, this is our last baby as well so I am all too familiar with that feeling of finality. Hang in there...we are here for you.
My very good friends dad died this morning, which made me realise how lucky ladies we are to be bringing new lives to the world soon no matter if a boy or a girl. It's a miracle we can give a life to someone.
Thorz, I'm really sorry you didn't hear girl ;( I'm a bit worried though as that first picture isn't very obvious, and didn't look dissimilar to mine :$
Ladies thank you! I'm going to be ok, I am giving myself today to mourn the loss of the daughter I will never have! I think I have cried it all out already, DS2 who is barely 4 saw me crying, and it broke his heart, (he has NEVER seen me cry before) so he got all teary eyed and ran up to me and said, "Mommy I will hug you all day until you are happy and I will never let go until your tears are gone! But be careful because crying makes your boogies come out, trust me I know, I cry a LOT"!!!! That made me laugh through my tears! I have the sweetest boys! He has practically been by my side ever since we got home and when he does go off to play, he keeps coming back to check on me to see if I'm happy! I truly love my sweet boys and I know that this little one inside of me will be just as sweet and I will adore and love him. I know that this baby, regardless of gender, is MY baby and meant for us!! I will be ok I just really need to cry it out because, I NEVER imagined my life without a daughter, and now I have too.
As far as the scan goes, she said she was almost certain! But certain enough not to give me a free redo. I'm confident that is a boy and I will plan accordingly, I cannot hang on to hopes that it might be wrong. If it ends up being wrong in 5 weeks then I wont be disappointed, but I do not plan on anything changing! I do have a friend that was told boy at 14w5d (which is what I am technically) and it ended up being her 4th girl, but those are generally rare cases so I am not holding my breath, I need to move on with my pregnancy and prepare for this little man!
Thank you so much for your support! I posted the boy shoes on facebook, I was going to wait, but then I decided it would be better to do a generic public announcement then try to skirt around the issue when people ask me individually, this way they don't have to ask me about the gender, most of them will know!
Sorry you didn't hear girl :( but you will be okay... I was really rooting for you!
Thorz you have a wonderful outlook and I can tell how much you adore your boys! That little DS of yours sounds so darn adorable. You are one lucky mama and you're going to always be well looked after with such sweet boys as that! Congrats again!:celebrate:
Love your attitude Thorz. Way to go! And aren't little boys like your DS so sweet? What was your hubby's reaction? And how did the FB reveal go?
I hope you ended up liking the place you went to. I'd feel bad if it hadn't been a good experience.
I liked the place just fine, and the lady was really nice, I was just a little upset at first because she at first said girl for a split second and called the baby a her and then said "Oh I'm sorry......I'm pretty sure I spoke to soon", and then found the boy bits. That was really hard on me, because my heart leapt out of my chest with excitement and then fell and crushed to the floor breaking into pieces all within a matter of moments, it was really hard!! My DH really wanted a girl too, but is fine either way (i'm sure it would be different if we were having our 4th girl, he would probably care more because like every mom wants a daughter, every dad wants a son) anyway, he has been very comforting and loving and taking care of everything around the house including the boys so I can grieve for tonight. I'm already feeling better, my friend stopped by with cookies. She finds out the gender of her baby next week, I'm sure it will be a girl, thats how things work for me. LOL
Omg that's terrible :( being told girl first! I'm gonna make sure to tell my tech not to say a thing till she knows for sure and if shes not sure to not guess cause that doesn't sound fun! I kinds look forward to mine being a boy as crazy as that sounds lol my DH really wants a girl cause of the whole autism thing he said today if it's a boy he will just assume he has it and won't be excited! That made me sad
Aaaahh I would have been crushed too! That is NOT okay! :( I wish she would have taken more time until she was certain. I'm sorry that happened to you....
Did she also make sure that it wasn't the cord between the legs? I asked all those pesky questions during my scan. :) What about this, or what about that? Hehe.
What a good DH you have. My DH told me that he would be more disappointed if he had three girls and no boy (even though he really was hoping for his little "princess").
Take your time to be sad. You don't have to get it all out of your system in one night. I feel 90% just fine now but the first couple of weeks after finding out, feelings sort of came in waves and caught me by surprise. It may not be that way for you at all. Just thought I'd share.
Oh I promised I would tell you that girl name that popped into my head, it was..... Macie Anne, I guess I'll never get to use that name, I really loved it :(
Thorz I am sorry you didn't hear girl. I am so glad you have an understanding and wonderful DH who is supportive of your wanting to grieve. Take care of yourself and hope you feel better about it soon!! With a DS that is so sweet I am sure it won't take long. I love my two boys also and they are always kissing me and hugging me. It is a special bond and now you will have another sweet DS giving you hugs and kisses. Congrats and hope everyone's comments on FB are kind:)
Congratulations Thorz on a gorgeous bubba! What a cute profile. Im sorry you didnt hear the news you were looking for, but I know this little man is going to bring you all so much love, laughter and joy. He was meant to be here, and with sweet gorgeous big brothers, he is one lucky little lad. Give yourself time to grieve, we are all here for you. You dont have to be brave here, even though you may feel you need to put that brave face on at home and around friends, here you can open up and that honestly is the best thing. Over time this will all start to feel right. Thinking of you hun x x x
Hey congratulations on your boy! Remember that every thing happens for a reason! I have my gender scan 27th of April and have kept it a secret from everyone. I'm going away for 3 nights when we have it so figured I could come to terms with the news on my own. E.g no family opinions etc.
I posted on another website that a accupuncturist I go to says she can tell gender from your pulse. She had it right with both my boys and I thought you might all like to try it. Maybe it's better for a professional to do it but give it a go to see. You hold ur finger on ur wrist , check both arms not at the same time! One wrist will feel stronger, my right does, which is the reason she thinks girl. It's right for a girl left for boy. With my 2 boys I remember her saying it was my left both times and I shrugged it off and hoped she was wrong as I wanted a girl! It was right though! Anyone wanna try x
26 hours for me :D cant wait to not have to wonder constantly!!!!
That's really interesting Mel, I've never heard of that before. I just tried it and feel a definite stronger pulse on the right, but don't want to get my hopes up! Lol fun to do though x
When's your gender scan? I know I wasn't convinced with my boys but both times it was right. This time she said girl but I don't believe it I'm convinced its another boy. Hate the waiting, it's nice to know either way what little baba is xQuote:

Wanting so exciting! Can't wait to see your bubba x
Wanting-a-girl -- I so can't wait for your scan! I'll be stalking. What time is it?
My pulse seems stronger on my left side. Which would make sense since I am carrying a boy.
Thorz -- how are things going today? How did everyone in your family and circle of friends take the news? And are you relishing the gorgeous weather???
My appt is at ten so I'm guessing I will be home at 11 or 11:30! 17 more hours! Can't wait to sleep tonight so I can sleep away the majority of that time! Then in the morning I will be busy getting the boys ready for school so the time before my scan should zoom by! I'm excited that I will finally know what it is!
Good luck Wanting. Have my fingers crossed for you!
I have everything crossed too xx :fx:
Good luck Wanting!
How are you doing Thorz?
Good luck with your scan wanting! Hope the pulse thing proves right for u!! Can't wait for ur update!
Thanks ladies! I am so lucky to have all ur support! :D
The time can't move any slower I swear... I've never anticipated the gender u/s so much lol
Hope your doing okay thorz...
Oh Thorz. :hug: Congratulations on your little blue bundle, and I'm so sorry you didn't get to hear girl. Perfectly fair enough to take the time to grieve not having a daughter, it doesn't reflect anything on your sweet little boy - the child you wont have is a completely separate concept to the child you will have. And of course you know just how gorgeous little boys are, and that you'll love this one as much as you love all of your children, and that this last little guy may well be your special little buddy, as he will always be the baby of the family. Thinking of you, and at least you're over the hardest bit now, it will get easier from here. xx
Thinking of you too WAG. I hope you get to sleep away a lot of the hours between now and tomorrow.
Ok, off to catch up! I was only away for a few days but I've missed such a lot!
Mel, I'm not finding out at my anatomy scan next wk!! Will be staying team green until birth so will have to wait another 5 months to see if pulse is right lol
Good luck WAG!!! Stalking!!! Can't wait x x
Thorz thinking of u Hun, hope you're doing ok x x
Thorz, I am so sorry you didn't hear girl! :sad: :sad:
I hope you are doing ok. I don't know what to say, I guess there are no words. :sad:
WAG, wishing you tons of luck today!!
