Hello, everyone. Slightly new to this group. We sway pink, as we have a son already. Based on NIPT, it is a boy! But Congrats to everyone who got a BFP! looking forward to seeing how everyone is doing. I am 15 weeks currently.

So happy for you GirlieCat! I had the blood for the Counsyl NIPT test drawn on Monday so maybe I'll get my results in 4 more days on Tuesday?? So anxious...
Yeah Amelia. Just a few more days. How exciting.Quote:

Amelia- I am so sorry it wasn’t girl and you are feeling all these mix of emotions. Are you honest with hubby about your feelings about this?Quote:

I have googled myself to death with wrong NIPT and everything and its very tiresome. But i'm trying to look on the bright side, because these boys will have a best friend for life and be able to grow up close together, and maybe down the road, if it is meant to be, be able to watch over baby sister! :) Like you said, a Hi-tech third! Sounds like a good plan to me!
I have two boys and they love eachother soooo much!
When i hear them laugh together i feel the luckiest mother in the world.
I don’t know the gender of this baby yet but when its another boy i know the dissapointment will be strong but after its born and filled with love i know i will be lucky forever with three handsome men by my side.
And praying they will give me some nice daughters in law
im sorry Amelia :heart: its really tough when you have a successful sway followed by an opposite, my dh is also 100% against HT and wont do anything to sway either. I hope in the future he agrees to allow you to go HT for your daughter if it is what you still want to do xxQuote:

Welcome boydream! Did you sway?
Hello ladies. How is everyone? I am 21+3 now and feeling mostly normal again except fatigued easily. Sorry I've been MIA lately. It's kidding season on our farm and we had 17 baby goats within 4 days last week! We now have 25 baby goats, which is super fun! We still have 7 more mama's to kid but we have a month or so til that happens. Anyway, hope everyone is doing well! ❤❤
Hi boydream :)
doing ok here, 20 weeks now and finally off the sickness meds!! cant believe im halfway through..
RG the goats must be so much fun and so cute :)
Glad to know you are all doing good..
Raisinggentlemen, so many little baby goats and very cute. I grew up on a farm too and had a few animals but not as many as you describe. Enjoy the kidding season and must be a lot of hard work too.
Yes, I swayed blue. I don’t know the gender of this baby yet.
4blue2pink, you have reached the milestone!!! Congratulations [emoji4]

I am one of those 1 percent people for whom the Nipt has come back as inconclusive. I have now done the tests twice and both times it was inconclusive.
Although my NT has come back as normal with low risk for abnormalities, it has been a stressful 4 weeks to deal with this all. I was so keen to hear the gender of the baby but I heard the tests were inconclusive twice! So, now I am keeping fingers and toes crossed for a normal healthy baby and hoping I hear boy too!
Thankyou boydream :) im sorry you have had such a nightmare with the NIPT twice!! it must be so frustrating, are you waiting till you can tell gender on a scan or going for another NIPT? is this your first baby? fingers crossed its a little boy for you :)
Thanks 4blue2pink.. I am just trying another test and this would be the last either way. I would have to wait for the morphology scan to know that it’s all good..

Raising- I love baby goats. I am sure it is a lot of work but so fun too.

Welcome boydream. I have never heard of n NIPT being inconclusive and twice- that is weird. Here is to hoping third time is the winner and your boy dream comes true.Quote:

I’m 21+6 today. I’m so relieved as at 19 weeks we had our anatomy scan and there is no SUA, the umbilical cord has the right number of arteries and veins and bubs is measuring ahead too [emoji3531]. I’ve also got really strong kicks going that hubby can feel, and we’ve caved and bought a few cute onesies
I’ve gone through all of your girls posts but I’ve missed replying to people specifically... but congratulations and welcome to everyone new in the group!
also I’ve not heard of inconclusive results with NIPT but they should be able to confirm at your scan, keeping fingers crossed !
Wishing everyone smooth pregnancy! How’s everyone else feeling?

Wonderful news viola!
They are tons of fun! They're not much work if they're born in warmer weather but it's been colder than the norm here so I've had to make sure they get dried off sooner a d move them to the barn if needed. I had to bring 3 in to warm up bc they were wet and cold. But so far so good. We have 3 bottle babies and the boys take turns feeding them, they love it!Quote:

Boydream, yes so many baby goats and animals in general. We have 3 rabbits, 19 goats (+25 babies), and a cat. Plenty for us haha. Especially with dh working full time and some weekends, 3 kids, pregnant, homeschooling, and in the process of building a house (planning phase).
Viola, so glad to hear you and baby are doing well! My dh and kids felt her the other day as well. It was so fun when the boys realized what that was!
Hi all!.... My screen name was All*blue*everything... My you gest smashed my phone and it had all my passwords and old email etc so I havnt been able to comeback here! I forgot I'd set up. This account a while ago... Anyway.. I'm. Now 18+2 we had a gender scan at 16wks and got the shock of our lives when we found out that after 13 years and 5 boys we are having a baby girl!! It still feels so. Surreal to say girl... And I'm. Having a daughter... And she... I've gone shopping mad already and have bags of beautiful dresses and headbands my boys are over the moon... Don't think we will believe it until. We meet her xx feeling so grateful and blessed x
Congratulations Allblue love your new username haha!! enjoy every second of all things pink :heart: it didnt sink in for me till our first (living) girl after 4 boys was born :) even then it still felt surreal for quite a while!! xxQuote:

Raisinggentlemen, lots of hard work with all those animals and kids but at the same time lot of cuddles and cuteness overloaded.

4blue2pink - it’s so good to be in the middle of pregnancy and off ur meds finally !!! I’m so happy for you.
RG im sure ur having so much fun with all the new baby animals, ur boys must be having a blast ! I’m slightly jealous my DH won’t even let us get a cat lol
Housefull, ur username is so funny and cute! I’m so glad ur getting ur girl and having a blast shopping for her too. I know what u mean about the disbelief when u get to hear ur having the baby of you desired gender.
Silly ginger and girlie cat how’s everything going too?

Part of me is so happy to be at 22 weeks today and the other part feels like July is soooo far away ....

Should we make a list of who is in this group and their due dates and what they swayed like the jan/feb/March group? Just to help keep track of each other ?

Very good idea Viola! It will be very handy [emoji1303]

17w3d and been feeling baby a lot lately. Can’t recall if this is earlier than last baby. Also had US this week and baby is still a girl...haha, even though I know how accurate NIPT is, I still feel good having US confirm it.
So we still haven’t told a single person that I am pregnant and the longer it goes, the less I care to tell. We are having a baby shower for my little sister this weekend at my house and I was thinking I would tell in the days after that but now I might try to hold out till 20 weeks. I like a challenge and frankly hate people asking me questions or saying stupid comments so the secret is nice to keep.

Hi there!
I posted ages ago and then went quiet - I’m due in September and have been quietly lurking whilst waiting for NIPT results. We swayed boy and results said boy!!!! We already have three gorgeous girls.
How’s everyone feeling. I’m only 12 weeks - just waiting on my first scan appointment. Will be interesting to look at nub actually knowing gender this time - it’s been obviously girly every other time so I’m intrigued as to what boy bits look like!! Haha (& praying my NIPTs not wrong and I see 3 white lines again!)
Heart xx

I love that ur “confirming “ your NIPT with the US because I did just that too, first thing I asked the technician was to let me know if I could freely do some boy shopping (which I did do straight away)Quote:

I do get a lot of really stupid questions and comments about gender ; “ it must be a boy this time” “I’m sure you wanted a boy” etc. it annoys me to no end because yes I do want a boy but not for the reasons my culture want, but because I just want one to complete my family..... garghhhh people are stupid and annoying.
Have you let DD1 feel the baby move? How does she feel about being a sister?

Congratulations [emoji322][emoji322][emoji322][emoji322][emoji322] I’m so so so happy for you! I’m sure the NIPT are correct but I also kept trying to confirm and “see” boy bits on my ultrasounds. Let us know how ur scan goes!Quote:
