Charlee's 12+5 NT scan pics - potty shots and possible nub

I will update this thread first! :) I am totally up in the air about having a fourth to be honest... this pregnancy has been really rough so far and it's definitely making me second guess ever doing this again! haha It's like God's way of saying "You are done after this..." LOL
If it was up to DH we would be having a fourth regardless of this ones gender.

Northern - So you really just hit the nail on the head.... this is the underlying reason for my disappointment that I didn't want to mention, mainly because I don't want to be a total bummer LOL... but it's like insult upon injury to lose a little girl and then be given a boy. I know I shouldn't care about gender BECAUSE of the loss but it doesn't necessarily work that way... In a way I feel like it's a big sick cosmic joke to have my dream taken away like it was.

But then I go back to the undeniable feeling that there is a bigger picture obviously, and I HAVE to trust in that... no matter how hard it is sometimes. I guess being so driven is bad in this way, because when I don't get what I strive for it's a huge disappointment. I'm not a very good loser! haha

I just need to be told I'm having a boy so I can get OVER it and get to shopping LOL... a little retail therapy might be just what the doctor ordered :)

Interestingly enough, it seems more husbands are right on guessing gender than wives. My husband has never been wrong, even when I was pretty sure DS2 was a girl. And he swore up and down our third child was a girl...low and behold, she is. I was dead convinced she was a "he." I will be interested to see if your husband is right as well!

You have a great outlook on it and I am really happy for you finding out for sure (fingers crossed) so you can plan and enjoy getting to know that little baby in there.

It's funny you mention this, because my DH has been right every time too... so that's why I so desperately want to believe him this time! But I think he's suffering a bit of GD to be honest... I'm not sure his intuition can be trusted this time LOL... I will know in a few short hours hopefully!

(LMAO about the crack addict thing hahaha... I am totally guilty of this too! It's just so fun to share in other people's experiences though!)

I just wanted to wish you luck and let you know that I love your attitude. I really hope you have a DD in there.

If not, you will get over it soon enough and I can honestly say that my 3 boys are my world. DS3 has already taught me so much in the short 2.5 months he has been here and every day I look at him and my heart just melts. I couldn't imagine my family being any other way and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

Good luck today! I just read through this whole thing and I gotta say, I love your attitude as well! My DH is also pretty insistent that we have a girl this go round and I wanna believe him, but I think like yours, he is just wanting a girl too. Hope all goes well!

I really don't think you can take anything from those pics at all, girl or boy!! What you see between the legs could very well be cord or something.... I think you have just as much chance of hearing either!! Good Luck! Xxx

You guys know I'm going to hear boy though LOL... I can't even let myself think otherwise! I am repeating the mantra "I will not cry. I will not cry. I will not cry!" haha Think it's going to work?? LOL

You can totally cry if you hear boy. I did with DS2 and I adore him (he is so amazing I would never have considered number 3 without him). You will probably cry irrespective of gender just seeing the heartbeat ing and limbs moving around - so emotional and beautiful.

Congrats on a health sticky one of whatever colour. X

Aww thanks Beachy and oxox.... that really means a lot to me :) I'm trying my best to keep that green eyed monster in check! I duct taped her mouth shut this morning in anticipation of my gender scan today LMAO...

How long now Charlee?

How much longer! Can't wait! Anticipation is killing me lol... Not as much as you I'm sure lol
