Haha, thanks! I just talked to a nurse and she said she is still "working on it." She did schedule my 18-week Level II ultrasound for April 4th. And my elective scan is 8 days away but I am paranoid that at barely 16 weeks, the results may be ambiguous and I'll be obsessing even more.Quote:

This is crazy. I was just thinking a couple of weeks ago that I don't remember "busting" out like this with the boys. With the boys it wasn't until after I had the baby that I had to worry about getting a new bra. Now I am BARELY squeezing into this one.Quote:

I had a reduction before ds3 although he did not reduce the size he just lifted them :) but they def did not grow with ds3 till aftern he was born and even then my boob job was not destroyed... At this point I think my boob job will need re done :(
I would definitely get one!! But it all depends on the u/s tech. I had a GREAT tech who knew that gender was what I was there for so he really spent a lot of time getting a great shot. He also prided himself on having a 100% track record and he has done over 20,000 scans!! He also said that if for any reason he couldn't tell 100% that I could come back in a week and he would take another look. He said that he would rather us come back then get it wrong. If you want one I would go for it but I would ask them if they are willing to do a gender at 16 weeks and if they can't tell what the gender is what will they do for you. One of the places I was looking at I asked this question and they said "we have never had that happen" meaning they can always tell. To me that was a big red flag because baby doesn't always behave so then they are guessing at the gender. 16 weeks should also be more conclusive than 15 weeks. It is more common for boys to turn into girls than girls turn into boys at that age. I would also be insistent on them showing you girl parts if there are lack of boy parts. Just because there aren't boys parts doesn't mean it is a girl... girls have parts too!!Quote:

Well I emaild one of the u/s places to see if they would do it cause apparently in Nairobi they don't do gender scans till 18 weeks and my anatomy is at 19.... I'm waiting for them to email back they r only open on Weekends so I will call Saturday
Also just curious.... I have been cleaning my house like a crazy lady the past 24 hrs like washing baseboards and walls the whole 9 yards.... It's obviously a little surge of nesting happening.... Anyone else dealing with this, this early?
Not even close, I am so tired and exhausted I can barely move and /or take care of my boys!Quote:

So I can't breast feed and don't really even get much milk in at all, so maybe that's why mine don't grow at all! I hope anyway!
aww that sucks you have a botched boobie job :( i had a botched ear job lol when i was 4 and am getting that fixed after the baby by the dr who did my boobs cause hes so awesome... i had no luck breast feeding ds3 but i am trying again i am getting a hospital grade pump to help me out :)
Goodness, this week is dragging ;( it seems to be going so slow since my scan and my gender scan seems to be AGES away :drama: 23 days left :sigh:
