AAHHH WOW how exciting!!! Your so having a girl!!!!! You will be fine!
Jeepers Happylea, that is not far away at all! Knowing how exhausted I am at the moment I know I won't be able to stay up late for an update, but I will be checking in first thing in the morning! I'm very excited for you. I think I can feel your butterflies!
TTC5, how are you feeling? Has your tummy settled at all?
Thanks ladies, think i am way past butterflies in my tummy think mine are elephants doing somersaults x
HappyLea are you showing yet?
So glad you're ok PP - but I can't believe what a shy baby you have :D Little monkey!!
Good luck later HappyLea :D
Good luck HL!!!!!!!
PP - feeling MUCH better thankyou!
How exciting, HappyLea!!!! I remember how terrified I was going into mine!
Im back ladies and we are having :DS:4 i so wish i hadnt got my hopes up for a :DD: but i did and they have truely been shattered :tissue:
He had his feet under his bottom most of the scan and tech found it difficult to get a shot, then he put his hand in the way also but finally she got the shot. I will post it very soon.
Im in utter disbelief at, 100% girl guesses on skull and my mum and aunt were convinced also from 12 week scan, i had a gut feeling this was my :DD: but its not :(
I'm sorry HappyLea, big {hugs} x
With this baby hiding so much I am starting to think its a boy and doesn't want me to know! Starting to get really bummed. DH keeps calling it a girl and will not even consider it being a boy.
Oh HappyLea, congrats on the baby boy!!!!!!!!!
I felt so sure you were having a girl too....I am utterly shocked by the news to the contray! I know you love your little blue bundles so much just wanted to give you a :hugs:
We all here for ya hunny!!
PP,I I still can't believe that you were almost 19 weeks and the baby would not show off their goods! Unbelievable baby! This baby must know something and want to keep itself conceled...when will you try to find out again?
Yesterday I went to my niece's 16th bday party, and it was really nice, fun day. Originally I didn't want to go to it because my sister did not come to my son's last month, but I decided that I wasn't going to live my life like that, and I really went because my oldest son LOVES being around his cousins, and he had the best time ever!! DS2 kept trying to eat grass or sand so chasing him down all day long was kind of tough. He kept trying to climb up the slide because he saw DS1 go down it, so my husband gently (while holding onto it) let him go down the slide and DS2 awarded us with the biggest smiles ever!
So I am glad I went and was not petty about it. The boys had a great time, and it was lovely seeing my mom and brother. My other sister was there too (the one who didn't come to DS2's party) but it's OK, I talked to her too and just let it roll off my back.
I am doing the anatomy scan on friday. I am hoping the Dr who has 30y with scans will be able to get something. I found out yesterday the 3d scan tech has only been doing them about a year.
Auroara - My SIL didn't invite us to my neices birthday and doesn't see or give anything to my boys... I gave my MIL a big gift to give her so I knew she got it. I am going to kill them with kindness.
Oh! I am sorry! My heart sunk when I read your post. :( I was really expecting you to hear girl! Are you okay? I don't know if it is any consolation right now, but I am sure he will be as gorgeous as your other 3 boys. :hugs: We are here to support you if you need to vent, etc.Quote:

Happylea, I can't see anything in that picture.... sorry. :(
Im ok, i haven't stopped crying yet but im ok. I really thought i would hear girl and i think i just got my hopes up and i shouldnt have.
PP, your baby is really cute! I wonder why it won't show any parts? Hopefully next time.
Hobber, you cant see the pic? or cant see the willy?
I see the willy.
I can't see the willy.Quote:

You will love your new little guy too. :hugs:
Happylea I can't see any "parts" but I see what looks like the cord.
That was best look we got as he had his feet at his bum and then is hand and she said that in the pic was his winky...could she be wrong? It does look diff from my DS3 potty shot as this gestation could see turtle with him clearly x
Is that not his winky??!!
I really didn't mean to get your hopes up--I am horrible at reading u/s pics. If you saw a winky, then you saw a winky would be my guess.... Maybe post it in the u/s forum and get those ladies to look at it.Quote:

Really ladies dont worry about it, my hopes were raised before the scan not now. I didnt see scrotum at all in scan just the long thing which tech said was willy. Wasnt as clear as DS3, i will post pic in ultrasound to get more opinions.
I found these on my CD from the 3d scan... I thought the tech was talking about the hand being in the way but to me it looks like a boy! They look nothing like my other boys.
HappyLea - just popping in to say *hugs*. Sorry they didn't give you a better quality potty shot picture... if it was a specific gender scan they would know what they were looking for? My little boy had everything on display very clearly... but still didn't stop me wondering (now and again, in weak moments) if they're wrong but know from the 4D picture that the cord was up over the shoulder so really there is no doubt in my case
I am going to go cry now
HappyLea - my heart goes out to you, and I'm sooooo sorry you didn't hear girl. After my failed sway with ds3 I had a few days where I was crying constantly, then I started to feel better. By the time he was born I was excited to meet him. Your little guy must have really wanted to be part of your family!
If you have any doubt about your u/s I'd suggest you post it then pm both foxy and coldwater to ask them to look at it for you.
PP - sorry you're feeling so discouraged. I can't see your pics on my phone so I xan't comment on them, but I still feel such a shy baby has to be a girl. Surely if there was a willy there it would have popped into the screen at some point.
Happylea- sorry you didn't hear girl. I always feel when there is an "opposite" that I don't know what to say. Because sorry doesn't feel right to me. Can't explain well what I mean it just doesn't sit well with me. And I know when it's my turn if it's a boy hearing congrats is gonna bother me too. It's a no win. My heart goes out to you. When I see everyone going over the nubs and going into the gender scans so afraid that's gonna be me too. I guess I want to say I totally get it. We ALL do.
Thank you ladies for your kind words, i have stopped crying for now. I am ok and sure i will be ok, i know i will have my down days but i know i will love him no matter what.
We did our very best at swaying and it obviously wasnt meant to be and if he got through everything we put his way with all the splime and supps and creams he deserves to be in our family.
I have sent a message to foxy and coldwater to have a look at my potty shot as people on IG aswell as on her are not convinced that it is a willy. Im not getting my hopes up tho.
FWIW, in profile my DD at 16 weeks had a "long thing" but that was just her clitoris. Truly though if you didn't know better you'd have thought it was a willy, it was so long! But totally flat to her spine in profile. Since yours is a potty shot it's not the same, but I do agree with others that it is not the clearest potty shot I've ever seen.Quote:

I did a slight sway with DS3 with cut off method but this was 1st propper sway. What's meant to be is meant to be, dont get me wrong im upset that i will never get that mother/daughter bond that i so wanted.
Just been looking at baby pics of my boys and they are so damn gorgeous im sure this one will be also.
Oh HappyLea, I did the same re: baby pictures and it helped me too :) I think the gender desire is persistent and mine is def still here, but the overwhelming sadness I felt in pregnancy is nearly completely gone. It's so hard to stay sad when you're holding a precious new life. Will you have another scan at 20wks?
yeah my 20 week scan is at the end of june, so obviously will get confirmation then x
FWIW your 1st 3 boys are gorgeous... and I think 4 boys would be amazing; it was my ideal to have all boys. :hugs: I know it wasn't yours but know that there are LOTS of mama's who think your family is dreamy.
HappyLea and PP, I just want to give gigantic hugs to you both. I wish I knew the appropriate thing to say. I really don't. I just want to send you some love.:HH:
Same here HappyLea And PP Huge:hugs:
Oh HappyLea, I am not surprised you thought this was your little girl. After all the girl skull guesses and having that gut feeling, you can't help but hope this is it. We all know what it feels like to want a specific gender so badly and we all wish that everyone will get what they swayed for. Perhaps you were meant to keep giving the world the most adorable boys ever, which only you can do.
Like you, I want to have that mother/daughter relationship. I try and remind myself that my DH has a great relationship with his mum. Most of all don't forget that you did a great sway. You did everything you possibly could, but this little boy was even more special than the girl you were hoping for. Sending big hugs from sunny Darwin, Australia.
