I even sound whiny, lol, sorry about that. After my ultrasound the other day I am really trying to prepare myself to hear boy again. I just don't want to get my hopes up any at all. We close on our new house on Tuesday, I haven't packed a thing and have no motivation to do so. I'm excited about the house, just not the painting and kitchen renovation that we need to do. And I hate moving so I'm procrastinating packing I guess. If I decide to let them tell me the gender I should know by next week too.
Twointow, are you nervous about finding out? I get a sick feeling in my stomach when I think about it. If its a girl I want to know but I'd rather not if its a boy, an impossible thing to ask, ha! Either way I'm totally keeping it from DH and I think I can do it bc this pregnancy has been so rough (I STILL have lots of nausea at night at 13 weeks, ugh) and I'm just emotionally drained right now so I don't think I will have a problem controlling my reaction.
Girliedreamz, I read that this is usually the case. It kind of bums me out because this is my last pregnancy and i LOVE to feel baby kicking. Of course, the delay in locating the heartbeat won't do anything for my stress level either!! I hope you feel her kick soon and that the heartbeats gets easier to find. I also hope she stays head down for you and you don't get all back labor! I read that is also a big downside with anterior placentas. I am trying to stay drug-free this time around ( I made it 32 hours last time) but back labor isn't going to help me out any and neither would a breech baby, ha! Hoping it goes smoothly for both of us! The only tiniest piece of finding out it was anterior is that an OWT (and some statistics) seem to say that it happens more with girls than boys. Now before anyone responds to this, I KNOW I can't put any stock in that and that it is just as likely to be a boy but it's nice to hear those OWT's from time to time. :)
