Lucky I will be in a hospital so if I do stop breathing they can give me oxygen haha! :P
We were going to get it written down on a photo of baby and put it in an envelope and open at home when girls get home from school. But they may not write it down sooooo we may have to stop in at school on way home, after the scan lol to tell them!!!
I really hope you get your girl Pinkin!!!!!!!
I am seeing my ob monday and hope she will do a quick scan as she has an ultasound machine in her room... I will be 15w2days but I dont know how she will react to me asking about gender she may be annoyed at me and more so not do it because I am still pretty early on
Thanks TTC5 But I am so so serious I cant see it happening.. So upsetting
What time is your scan tomorrow ttc5?
Oh wow nice and early!!! I will be on here checking all morning Not that there is any need because I already know its a boy!!! Lucky duck!
And you know I feel like just because you see it happening for others and awesome outcomes doesnt mean it will happen for me it will more so NOT happen for me. I am a negative thinker naturally but I just cant see this baby being born a she
What the... my likes have just disappeared on me?!!
Yes same here. And I have always had it in my head I will never get a girl because of all the boys in d/h family and his mum saying I wont get a girl so I believe it. I just wish I had a proper nub shot.. Not that it would be 100percent but I would feel better then I am now... At least Id have some idea If It was all Boy then I could really talk myself into it being a boy but right now I have nothing to go by and it sucks!! Do I make sense?
stalking stalking stalking.... has ttc5 gone for her scan now?
Pinkin, I know how you feel. No matter who tels me they think I am having a boy, I just can't bring myself to believe it. It just seems impossible. I would love for all those who predicted boy to be right, but it I just know I am not lucky enough to have that happen. I am a negative person too, and I always assume the worst. I have always been that way.
I really hope you get your girl. :hugs:
TTC5! Waiting for your update!
Bumblebee, HUGE CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for you to be able to share the joy of a bundle in blue!! LIttle boys are sooo adorable!! Your daughters will LOOOVE him!
Hobbers, I understand how you feel about it wouldn't happen to me. When I saw the baby for the 1st time at my 8 week U/S I had a sinking feeling it'd be a boy and how foolish and stupid was I for thinking I could make anything else? I was so convinced (wrongly) at the time about the side you ovulate on = gender, that when the U/S tech said I O'ed from my right, I was like, yep that's it, I'm having a boy--there is NO Way. Eventually, though, my gut feeling about a girl won over the negativity. However, I really, really think your story will wind up similiar to Bumblebee's, who was so convinced her baby was a girl after looking at the nub at the 12 week shot. I am even more excited for bumblebee's sway because it proves that a 'girly' nub can be a boy after all! There is so much hope for you, Hobbers, and I'd say even MORE So because you already have made 1 son, so you know you can do it :)
Also, so if it really is a girl (which I don't think at all), what is the worst that could happen? My brother was the only boy amongst 3 girls. He had my two olders sisters, him, and then me. Do you know how badly he wanted a brother? He was 6 years old when I was born and definitely wanted a boy since my older sisters tortured him a little bit...the last thing he wanted was a sister, but he got me anyway. And do you know what? Him and I are still so close, and instead of my sisters hosting my showers, he will at his house (his wife will actaully 'host') because I am so much closer to him. Him and I have a great bond, and I really think it was because we were opposite gender. We both don't see eye-to-eye with the other sisters...so it's almost like we're a sibling pair among each other. Think of if your boy is the only one, he will be the protector of two younger sisters....how neat is that?
Though I really still feel deeply it will be a boy.
I understand if you find that hard to understand--you said you don't want GD ruining your last pregnancy, but you seem quite fraught about it anyway. I still understand why you don't want confirmation, but I feel so deeply it's a boy, that it drives me nuts :)
Pinkin, I agree that your baby is still really a mystery. It sitll could really go either way.
TTC5, I def. think you're going to come back and say BOY! We all know your baby is a boy...now you just gotta believe it :)
Peony, it def. puts things in perspective.
Thank you. :) I wish and hope with all my might that you are right about my baby being a boy!! It must annoy the crap out of you listening to me be so negative! I just can't believe it, I can't, as much as I want to. I got out DS's u/s pics from his 19wk scan, and his skull looks more boyish than this baby--yet this baby's skull looks less girly than DD2 (I don't have any profile shots of DD1 to compare it to). It looks like a girl to me. But I would love, love LOVE to be wrong. I would LOVE to have my regret be that I worried for nothing, rather than the regrets I am having now over what I could have done differently with my sway.
I love that you are close to your brother. :) That makes me happy to hear. I really hope if my DS doesn't get the brother he wants, that he and his sisters will be close, too. Really, I know it is stupid to worry about gender so much--it is pretty much a waste of time, because the children we have are our family, and we love them regardless. I guess I should take the advice I am always giving my kids:"You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit." :P
Hobbers, I truly and deeply understand how you feel.
We are all here for you :hugs: we know how desire can take over and make us go a bit crazy! Vent here all you need!! The funny thing about the U/S pics is when they first showed us the baby on the 18w5d and they had that creepy looking face shot it reminded me SOOO much of DS2 that I looked at my husband and mouthed to my husband "I change my mind, I think it's a boy" and he had gotten totally white in the face and was shaking his head and mouthed back "it's a girl" and I looked up at the screen and the U/S tech was examining the thigh bone and and I saw what he saw: nothing in the potty shot sticking out.
I've looked and looked at DD's U/S pics compared to DS2 and I think (this is going to sound silly to say, considering she's not born yet!) she's going to look a like DS2 (I base them on her skull shape compared to his.)
Ironically, my beautiful little DS1 has the most girly skull shape of all via ultrasound pics!! (I must post his U/S pic for comparsion) and of course he's my "pretty boy" haha...maybe you'll just have a pretty boy :)
All the girls will love him :)
Hobber, I honestly think that the most well-adjusted men I know are the ones who come from a family with many sisters. Those men always seem to understand women better than most men do, and they make the best boyfriends and husbands. I still think you're having a boy, though! ;)
thanks Auroara I am so excited! and yes totally agree with you! I mean if you look in the confirmed boy scan photos section where I posted my scan photo, look at the 13 week nub its so 100% girly looking its practically mad that I'm having a boy, when I heard the sonographer say boy I was so shocked I burst out crying and kept saying are you serious!? over and over again! even now I can't stop the tears coming each time I think about it, I was so convinced it was a girl, she showed me again and there it was a willy! if it happened to me then it can happen to anyone, including you Hobbers please don't give up hope. Brothers and sisters will always be close to each other no matter what if we help create and nuture that love and bond between them. :heart:
Ok ladies 2.5 hrs to go. I dreamt I was late for my appointment haha.
And again....just case you missed it... :rofl:
