Lol I'm sure he'll come around if it is indeed another son. I've named the first 3 so why not the 4th ;) Have you guys agreed on names for both your girl and boy? So awesome getting to pick one of each!!

Oh and re BH , I have a very irritable uterus so basically have painful contractions from conception to labour ....it’s tough (the plus side is that I labour very efficiently and fast) but if your cervix stays put, it’s just an annoyance. Two babies are bound to put pressure on your uterus and cervix so much more than usual for you so it’s pretty normal I dare say. If they increase in intensity and don’t subside with rest, better get checked though ;) so exciting for you to have these two rainbow babies to grow and look forward to welcoming :D
My Sofia is great, thanks...a sweet sweet darling, that doesn’t sleep lol she is 5.5 m.o and can’t believe a year ago I was crying that she wasn’t a boy. COuldnt imagine not having her sweet face in our home :love:

TP, so sorry for the loss of your puppy, they truly form part of the family too :hugs:

Sorry to see some of you didn’t hear what you’d hoped re gender, it gets better I promise and you will be head over heels with those little munchkins :) I know it seem so impossible right now but you will...the “sway opposite” babes are definitely so very special :love:

Oh I couldn't agree more concerning sway opposite babies!! Our DS3 is an opposite (after a long hard sway) and I remember taking the news SO horribly!! But once they are here they hold your heart! He is the sweetest little guy. He's 2 now and has us all wrapped around his little fingers - so he's in for a bit of a shock with this baby coming!!
I think this level of contentment and knowing the peace that comes with a sway opposite has driven us to go team green this time as while I would enjoy a DD I know I will love another DS just as much!

I am nearly 23 weeks, still have bad nausea daily (although not all day and not daily vomiting which was from 4 weeks til 19weeks) still have some food aversions (never had this before) and back pain is excruciating (so bad I ended up in women's assessment for a check up ultrasound Wed to make sure all was ok as back and pelvic pain almost as bad as labour). I am constantly tired and emotional. I hope this improves at least for a few weeks before the third trimester hits as it is always down hill from there for me. Really hope everyone feels better soon. Wouldn't mind suffering this terrible nausea, pain and food aversions if it was for a DD but feel so sad that for me it likely just confirms this is another DS. I have asked them to move my growth scan (to check if placenta working) forward a week so only have to wait til this Friday not the following one. Haven't been sleeping in nearly a week since got ambiguous potty shot as so stressed about gender. Have decided definitely going to find out at scan as can't do the hope/disappointment roundabout anymore. To make the GD worse a friend at work who is due same day as me found out she is having a DD for her second and that makes a pigeon pair for her. Just seems so unfair that everyone around me is getting their DD or pigeon pair. With the exception of two people that I work with everyone else has a pigeon pair and it's the same in my mums group. I am the only one who doesn't have a pigeon pair. Just know I am going to fall apart at scan when I hear boy.

That's great they have moved your scan date forward! The less time you have to spend being anxious the better!! I remember that feeling before our gender scan last time. We had the biggest suspicion we were gonna hear boy as the scan pics from 13 weeks had stacking. I got the gender scan at 16 weeks which was the earliest they would take me but oh man, those 3 weeks were horrible!! I know that anxiety so so well. Sending much love and hoping this week goes quickly x

Same... It seems like the moment I outed my pregnancy, everybody else did as well. Planned or Oops etc. And no joke, they are all ladies with multiple sons getting their DD or DDs getting their DSs. One single exception is one who is getting her 3rd daughter which is exactly what she wanted so....

I have SUCH a hard last name, its making it impossible. DS1 is Jacob Robert which we had picked out before we even planned kids as its both our grandfathers names. DS2 took literally until the last few weeks to agree on his first name. He is Logan Joseph. Joseph is my FILs middle name, because he doesnt like his first (and my father disappeared when I was young). This one, drawing a blank. I was thinking a C name for my other grandfather because he is Clarence Eugene. However, DH doesnt like any C names I do like Colin, Cole, Caleb, or Colton. Names ending with 'er' dont go because the last name does... so my 'Trevor' is out. So was Noah, Damien, Elijah, Dylan... because DH hates them too. :rolleyes: I also love the name Blake, which he hates but Im sticking to it possibly as a middle name. I think the only one we both were okay with so far was Nathaniel... so Nathaniel Blake maybe. I feel bad giving him such a long name haha

DS2 had no name for nearly 3 days as DH and I couldn't agree on one. In the end I gave in just so he had a name. If this is another boy (likely) we are really going to struggle with a name. The few I really like either don't go with our surname or DH doesn't like. I hope you find a name you really like. Nathaniel was one of the names I liked for DS2 but hubby vetoed it. Nathaniel Blake is a nice combination.

Surrounded, Nathaniel Blake doesn't strike me as particularly long, and he can always be Nate for short! We're big into longer, unique names with a nickname ready at birth ourselves ;)

I woke up from bad dream just now where a nurse said, "Oh, well you have girls, so that's ok," after I filled out a form wrong, and I got angry and asked if she just spoiled us since we didn't know and she said yes and it was a whole thing. I again feel like my consciousness is telling me. The worst part was not having my sweet boy to comfort me when I woke up :( I feel bad that I just don't have any care or anticipation for this baby anymore without our dog being here. I just want him back so bad.

TP it will take time but you will feel better soon, it took me by surprise how much I grieved for the loss of my pet, and I mean bursting into tears during the day!

The time eventually came when I was able to think about him and smile instead of cry, although it seems like that will never come I promise it will!

Ah my DS2's name is Nathaniel. Dh wanted Zachary which I liked until I was pregnant and then hated it. I was obsessed with Nathaniel. So his middle name is Zack. Thought Nathaniel Zachary would be too long lol. Our Ds1 name is Raphael Doron, so we have longish names too... but the name I want for this baby is super short. And part of me is second guessing that it won't match their names because of that. But maybe that's a little OCD of me.

Tp that sounds like a horrible dream! I'm sure they are just your fears playing out and no real meaning. Hope you start feeling better about everything soon!
