Stalking as well....c'mon, one of u three post something :P
Butterfly, I am soooo sorry for your loss hun :hugs:
Hi ladies, not been on really over weekend, i have had my cousin over while her parents were away and been trying to get garden finished with some grouchy little boys.
Im not 100% that DS1 has chicken pox as he only has 16 spots and hasnt got anymore since, i think it is but DH doesnt??!! Gonna take him dr's tomorrow to get them checked out as i dont want to send him school with chicken pox nor do i want to keep him off if he hasn't.
They all seem to be brewing something though, DS2 has been a right squinny and crys at every little thing (not like him) DS3 has been sleeping lots has a runny nose and also a squinny and being clingy. And to top all that me DH and cousin woke woth sore throat this morning and now i got a runny nose too :( I dont think this is a healthy house at the minute.
Butterfly ~ just read about your loss, so sorry hun :hugs:
Cant wait to hear about and see some scan pics but im off to bed now so will hopefull see them tomorrow. Will catch up more tomorrow. Night all xxx

I told the tech I didn't want to see the gender, and she was really good about telling me when to close my eyes. I hardly watched the scan at all, even when she told me I could, because I was so terrified I would see something!! She made me a DVD, but told me not to watch it until after the birth, so I wouldn't ruin my surprise.
We hadn't told DS about the baby, so he had no idea what was happening when we went into the ultrasound room. When I lay down and the tech put the wand on my tummy, he said, "Look, there's a baby! Mom, no wonder your tummy was looking pregnant!" It was funny, like he thought none of us knew what had been going on until that moment when they took a look inside and saw a baby. :) Then he said, "I hope it's a boy!" ("So does Mom," DH told him). When I told him it could be another sister, he said, "That's okay, now H (DD2) will have someone to play with." Later, though, he asked again about the baby being a boy, and I said I didn't know, but that it really could be a girl. He got a little sad, and asked why his wish couldn't come true, because DD1 had wished for a sister and got one, so since he wished for a brother, he should get one. :( It made me really sad. :(
Anyway, I have a couple pics, but I am afraid to post them, because I am afraid I will get girl guesses from the skull.
p.s. She said my placenta is posterior and it is right and center. Does that mean anything?
PP, I can't believe your baby gave you such a hard time!
Have to use my phone as can't get on the computer at the moment. I had my 12 week scan this morning and I left as one very annoyed lady. The woman would not give me any good pictures. I have zero nub shots. I even asked and she said they are not allowed to give pictures of that area. So frustrating. I have 3 frontal/facial pics where bub looks like an alien and a leg. She got really stroppy when I asked for a nub shot and would not let me even see that area on the screen. At the beginning I thought I might have seen a boy nub but bub was upside down so it was really hard to tell. So on a positive note baby looks healthy and was cery wriggly. Anterior placenta and HR 158. I am just bummed I didn't get any good pics. Not even any cute pics to be able to show DH who could not be there.
Look forward to having a look at your pics Purple. Good news Hobber. And GL in a few days TTC5.
Bummer, Peony! I wonder why she was so rude about it? Glad baby was healthy--that's most important, right?
Aww what a bummer peony about the pics But glad bub is healthy!!
Hobbermittens I am glad your scan went well too! good on you for being strong!! I so wish I could be..
Well I am feeling down again today.. I pushed myself and walked 10km! With a pram and a probably 18kg little boy! I am feeling pretty tired now but I find walkig helps , I am goig to try ad do it everyday. The last 3 mornings I have woke up so tired I cant keep my eyes open so I have to get out in the fresh air and walk. I just need to know what the gender of this baby is so I can Move forward!
Hobbers some reason I do think you are having a boy still!!
Peony - sorry you had a jerky tech.
Hobber - glad you had a good scan and kept the gender a surprise!
PP - there's no way I could wait 2 weeks after being so close to finding out! I really think it's a girl, though!
Hobbers, I think you are having a BOY, just a feeling! ;)
And Peony, I'm sorry about the AH tech that sucks!!
Peony - sorry to hear that the tech was so uncooperative with you, :( will you go for a private scan?
Hobber - glad to hear your scan went well! if I got given a DVD, I would be so tempted to watch it! you're so brave!
PP - glad to hear your scan went well! I think you're having a girl too! :XX:
TTC5 - Good luck with your scan! :luck:
Well had DS1 at dr's and he says the spots are not chicken pox and aren't contageous. Says could just be rash or even bites? Not sure what would bite his butt and arm/arm pit tho?
So off to school he has gone.
Hobber ~ so glad your scan went well, you are so strong not to watch that dvd...if that was me as soon as i got through the door it would have been on.
Peony ~ glad baby is well but so sorry you had an uncooperative tech.
PP ~ glad your scan went well, what a cheeky little baby not showing you the goods. Mum always says the awkward ones are girls x
TTC5 ~ not long now, GL xxx
OOOOHHHH....i have a lemon. exciting xxx
Peony, do you have any cute skull /face pictures to post for us? I'd love to see your cute lil babe!
Hobbers, I still really think you are having a boy. I wish you'd just post one pic even if you put as a disclaimer "I dont want any skull guesses, just want to show my baby." I would just look at your cute babe and not say anything gender-related. People here are pretty good at respecting others wishes, like when a picture is included, not quoting the picture, etc. I am so happy for you that baby was healthy and mesuring well. Did you have any vibe or feel just looking at the baby?
The minute I saw DS2 on the ultrasound screen, I felt it deep in my gut that he was definitely a boy. It was undeniable.
PP, cute lil babe, can't believe the baby woudln't show you the goods! Still thinking girl.
TTC5, am excited about your scan coming up!!! I just know it's a boy :) Can't wait for you to get confirmation!
I am OK, still fighting off this weird sinus thing I've had for like a week. Everyone at work keeps asking if it's a cold, but I dont' think so. I don't feel bad except my left side of my nose is always stuffed up.
I go to the Dr today at 3:20 to check on the placenta. They may just ask questions before deciding to do a scan but I hope I can answer the question right to get a quick scan.
Mocha, since we're only 1 day apart, have you feeling a lot of movement?
I feel movement a lot but it's not very strong yet, although once in a while I'll feel something surprising. It's more like's just moving around.
At this stage with my boys, I felt their kicks really hard and disctinive and she still seems so fluttery to me at 21 weeks. Just wondering what your experience has been and if you think your girl moves more gently than your boys did?
At the 20 week U/S wtih DS1 he had his feet propped up high above kicking me, it was the cutest pic :)
I've only started feeling consistent movement in the last 2 weeks or so, and it's still very subtle - just gentle thumps. Sometimes it's so gentle I'm only sure it's baby I'm feeling when I put my hand on my belly and can feel the kicks from the outside too. This morning I felt my first roll - the strongest movement I've felt so far.
I felt my twins a lot earlier, but that's to be expected since there were two of them. With ds3 I didn't feel strong movements until around now too - he had an anterior placenta, which I suspect this babe does too.
Okay, here is a picture of the baby's feet!!

LOL Hobbers --love it!!
Wow what big manly feet your baby has :bigsmile:
Hey hun keep your chin up and take it easy, try not to stress you'll be fine :bighug:Quote:

I still think this baby is going to be the surprise of your life Hobbers :)
That would be the absolute best surprise of my life!! I would be so completely over the moon!! I left the scan yesterday feeling pretty good, but today I feel like it is a girl again. I love hearing you and others say they think the baby is a boy, and I wish with all I have that you are all correct!! But I am just afraid to get my hopes up. :(Quote:

I miss my computer! Hopefully have it back up and running on the weekend. Auroara, I wish I had something cute to show off. I just showed DH and even he thinks the tech was nasty. Out of 7 pics I have 2 of arms, 1 of a leg, 3 frontal freaky skull ones and one with it arching it's back and neck and looking like it is in pain. So disappointing.
Bumblebee, there is no private u/s place where I live. I would have to fly to another city. We often joke that Darwin is 10 years behind the rest of Australia, but now it is a pain. I had my boys in Perth and had lovely techs, 3D u/s, videos, etc and none if that is available here.
I see my OB in a couple of weeks. She doesn't do u/s every time but I am hoping DH will be able to make it to that appt and she might do one. I am not even worrying about the gender, it would just be nice to have an u/s that was a nice experience like the one my OB did at 10weeks.
Pinkin, good walking! Lots of endorphins for you.
The Dr visit was ok I guess.... The stubborn bub hid it's lower half behind the placenta to entire time. I have a low placenta but not covering the cervics. The pain and spotting is from everything growing.
So it looks like I have to wait for a repeat scan.... anatomy scan is 5/25 but I may hold off the 3d scan until a week or 2 after to get a good face picture. I have plenty to keep me busy until then.
