Nervous because of nub theory and upcoming results!

Hi Everyone,
I had my NT scan on Monday and I wish I hadn't done this, but I immediately went and posted my pic on several forums for nub guesses. I know it's just a theory, but I can't explain how excited I got at having 100% nub guesses for a boy. I have a 2 year-old DD whom I adore, and more than anything I'm ecstatic to give her a sibling, regardless of the gender, but since my husband only wants two kids I am very much hoping for a boy and did sway for one. I have read about a lot of 100% nub guesses being completely wrong, and to be honest I'm not convinced that the nub in my pic is actually the nub and, if it is, I'm not sure it isn't so angled because of the way the technician took the photo. I ended up getting the Panorama test done yesterday because our insurance covers it completely and now I can't help but panic over what my reaction will be next week. I know that either way I'll feel blessed for a healthy baby, and I can think of a million reasons why having another baby girl and baby sister for my DD would be wonderful, but I don't know how I'll react to grieving over the lost potential of that mother-son relationship. I lost my father a couple of years ago and other than my husband there aren't any men in our family, and while I know this shouldn't hold so much weight for me emotionally, it does right now. The other element causing me anxiety, and I know a lot of you can relate, is the pressure from family members and friends hoping this one is a boy. I can never understand why people don't see the pressure that puts on a person, even though there's nothing to be done about it. I know there's not much to say to this because it will be what it will be (and either way it'll be wonderful!), but it just helps to have a place that I can vent these feelings without feeling completely terrible. :) Thank you all for listening, and happy holidays!

P.S. I'll post the nub pic just in case you'd like a reference or to see what I'm talking about with the confusing nub.

Looks like a boy to me. Looks just like DS1 and DS2's nub. Good luck! I hope you find peace either way!

Looks boyish :) Let us know when you find out!

Looks boyish, Good Luck!!

Sometimes the pressure from others can by far outweigh our own feelings.

I hope you hear boy :)

I can see why the confusion over the nub as it looks like my DD's nub but the blue sways are having such great results that that could just have been a confusing angle:) Best of luck with your results:luck::luck: xx

Any other pics??

I think boy- good luck!

Thank you so much for the comments, everyone. I only got two other pics but there isn't a nub visible, I don't believe. Does that perhaps indicate girl when you can't see one?Attachment 22110Attachment 22111Attachment 22111

I would have placed all my bets on that being a boy!! That nub is more boyish than my boys nub at that stage! (If that makes sense) Hope it all works out xx

I don't see any clues in the new pics. Your first one looks very promising for blue though.

Looks boy to me. I see why you are confused because of the fork which usually says girl. But thats only if its straight. This is at a good angle so I am pretty sure you will hear boy! Good luck!

Blood test confirmed it's a boy!!! Thank you all so much for your guesses, support, and positivity. Wishing so much happiness and success to all of you in whatever you desire. :)
