Roll-call!! Due June/July/August 2013

If she's heard boy, she may need time to process the news. I know how I've felt in the past finding out boy and hurting. I think it's important that she has this time with her hubby if she needs it.

Hi ladies!

Well I had my scan today at 16+4 wks and all was looking healthy! There is a chance with my type of twins that share a placenta, that one is greedy and uses more nutrients and blood, leaving the other starved. It is about a 15% chance of happening. But all clear today! Phew.

I got the impression the u/s tech was a little annoyed that I asked for the gender today, she was not very forthcoming. But she said at the end 60% determination that they are GIRLS.

So Im not sure what to make of that. It is promising, but I probably shouldnt get my hopes up?? :nails:

Next scan is at 18+4 wks - anatomy scan. I guess all will be revealed then...

What do you think?? :think:

Well, it's 7:30pm here and I've put the kids to bed, poured a teeeny glass of wine and opened the envelope with my DH and....IT'S A GIRL! Thank you all so much for your support and well wishes for me, it's honestly meant more than any of you can know.

Yay Jadis! I am so happy for you! What an amazing surprise. :)

yay!!! glad you had a lil glass of wine ready to celebrate:) congrats:)

maple- glad babes are doing well hope you get a more confident answer of the sex next time but at least the tech was honest

not finding out here so just living through you ladies lol

Maple - I would rather hear 60% girl than 60% boy. Maybe the tech was being conservative because it is still pretty early.

Woohoo Jadis! I am so happy for you!

Unfortunately I am too organized to do a registry lol. I have already bought everything I need for the baby! Something's I'm just reusing ds1s of course. Like the crib and everything currently in his nursery! The only thing I have left to buy is diapers and a dresser for Ryder's new room (which my parents said they are paying for) LOL!!!! I should also mention I'm INCREDIBLY picky. If rather buy things myself then have others try to do it as terrible as that sounds. Since the kids are close together we aren't doing another shower so if family wants to help we just ask for cash :) always very useful haha

Yes it did pass some time cvd! I am doing babies r us for the nicer things like stroller and carseat and Walmart for the simple stuff like bath items and bottles. Now I do have a beautiful crib and dresser set from my son so I won't be registering for that but cvd the beauty of the registry is that you don't have to leave it up to people to choose, you do it for them, lol. It won't be as big however if this baby is a boy.

Congratulations on your little princess Jadis!! I had a good feeling it was a lil girl :)

Anyone else doing or planning to do a baby registry?

I started a registry at Target. We are not planning on having a shower but I want the coupon to stock up on a few things.

I had a scan at 15+4 and another at 16+4. They both told me girl. It might be different with twins but I think 60% is pretty good. I am still kinda hoping that the tech was wrong and just missed the boy parts. Hehe

Very true violet. Also I remember her saying she goes at 5 but she probably wouldn't open the envelope until a bit later. I think we might not hear from her until much later tonight unfortunately.

P4P, I don't think you saw my earlier post but I really hope you get the same news I did today! I'm having my girl!! Thanks for crossing your fingers for me, I swear I felt all the positive energy coming from my cyber sistahs today. :hugs:

Haha! Oh yes that's true p4p! If I had the patience to wait I'd do one too but I already have everything and as you said, it'd probably be different if this was a girl!!! Being in the states, do you shop more often at target or Walmart? Whenever we visit the states, about twice a year, target is like the FIRST place I go! Now that were getting target I doubt itll be exciting at all. They are opening in a couple months.

Maple, I think that's very promising indeed! After hearing this and seeing your nub shots, I've got a really good feeling for you! I can't wait for your anatomy scan! I'll be stalking like crazy.

I can't wait for Target to open here! I LOVE their housewares section. They've got beautiful stuff for awesome prices, I might just register there.

Congrats Jadis!!!

Well they are equally desired but personally I shop at Walmart more because it is 5 minutes from my job. The closest target, I have to get on the interstate and go south about 3 exits to a little town center we call Tradition. Now when I lived near tradition I shopped at target more. I registered at target with my son but no one really bought anything from there cause Walmart is just closer for everyone, lol. I'm not real patient cvd so this is truly killing me. But I did think of something I can do while I wait that isn't gender specific...the list for the baby shower!

Hey Jadis! Yes I did see it but because I am on my phone I didn't refresh so I was a few posts behind. Congrats again honey! I just knew u would hear girl! I wasn't a bit worried, but for myself it is a different story. I may just have to go back and compare our nubs, lol!

Aaaah yay Jadis!!! Huge congrats honey!! Awesome awesome news! :D

I know!! Their baby section is fabulous compared to what I have around me, which is just Walmart lol. The closest target to me will be about a 15-20 minute drive though so Walmart will still be my main store haha but I will definitely go there when I can!

Ah totally understandable then. Once target is here Walmart will still be my main store due to distance as well! And glad your keeping busy!!! I guess maternity photos you can only look at for so long as well hehe!

Jadis, congrats. I am just so happy for you. Must be the best feeling ever. I am sure you will sleep great to night. Congrats again and get shopping tomorrow for some pink.

---

Thanks heidih, most comments have said they can't see anything or it is just too early. Did have two that said lean towards girl but still too early. That at least gives me some hope for now. My MS has got a bit better, it seems to be the more tired I am the worst it gets so trying to get rest. Wow 4 weeks, can imagine how you are feeling. I have 8 weeks to wait now, feels like ages. Hope you are doing well.
