UK SMOG Wannabes - November (moved from PL)

Do any of the ladies in the uk do the gender cakes? It's a big thing people are doing here. They ask the u/s tech to write boy or girl on paper give it to a bakery and have a cake made with the frosting inside pink or blue. Sometimes they choose to cut it at a party. I couldn't do this unless I knew first. Wouldn't b a good scene if it was blue inside!! Lol

Silly me should have read all the posts first just read on and seen your going to do the tick box thing inglewood doh !!

Nice to read someone else did the tick boxes, will be a bit embarrassing for me to ask, but hey... if Dh can't be there and I could def find out one way or another I would burst to wait another 2wks!! lol

I'll be thinking of you Tuesday and for sure stalking to see. I don't even know the earliest you can test. Is it 10 days? First pregnancy I thought I had to wait till my AF to test! Haha so funny, and the next two pregnancy were...ummmm Wheres my AF....

My 1st 2 pg's were the same, well, ds1 was a 'surprise' and with ds2 I just waited for Af/no af! x

You can look at videos of people who have done it on You Tube. Search for gender cakes. It's pretty cool

Thanks for the xmas ideas! Have no idea what bakugan is! I'll probably buy something from Amazon so I'll have a nosy at what you suggested. I think he's into Ben10.

have my booking in appointment at the hospital on Wednesday. Looking forward to it as it makes it seem more real. Although I've expanded already this time round! I can't believe I have anything showing!!! I'm only 10weeks 5days.

MIL said she'd like to come along to a scan. She also offered to take a day off work if I needed help with any appointments etc. That is the first time she's offered to do something like that. She always comes down to see the kids but help-wise it has never been that much. I kind of feel like I should let her come to one of them. Well the only option is the 12 week scan as I am hoping to find out at the 20 week scan. Can't have her there for that rollercoaster ride.

OMG - your scan is on Tuesday Inglewood!!!!! You must be beside youself! Fx bubbas are behaving and show off their bits!

chocolate - I understand your hesitation with the August situation. My DS2 was born on the 31st August. If we come back to the UK the poor little mite will be expected to go to school JUST after he turns 4. Not sure what I would do...

better go... am struggling with insomnia this pregnancy and it wipes me out in the day....

hopeanddream ~ i've heard of it before and I have to say I love the idea of gender cakes! but couldnt have done it myself since I had too much of a gender preference this time.

Pinga ~ insomnia is terrible! i've had my fare share of that in this pregnancy too! hope you manage to get some rest!

Inglewood ~ i'll be wearing pink for you tomorrow!!

AFM ds1 has been poorly all weekend with what I can only assume is a bad cold and has slept terribly.. he's now also developed a tickly cough which kept him up ALL NIGHT last night so he's been up since 4am this morning. I'm in for a fun day! *zZz*
I'm looking forward to my scan this afternoon. Keeping fx that it goes well!

Wow gender cake sounds fun, good excuse for a gender party lol! I guess if we have an august baby then I would consider doing just part-time days till the January and seeing how he/she coped. But then the 3rd child would probably be ready sooner as seen the brothers go to school so that's reassuring to think like that. My ph has come down to 4.5 on cd 8 yay! If we dtd on cd 10 ish - and ph is 4.5, should I still do replens incase I get egg white cm around ovulation as the sperm may still be there waiting for the egg if I ovulate on cd17 again.... But the replens won't change the cm by the fallopian tubes..... Will also dtd on cd 17 ish so was going to use it on cd16 - guess I should just try it today and see what it does.

I had a look at loads of gender cake reveals on you tube LOVE the idea!! There is a funny one where they both had a cupcake and the bakery messed up and one bit into a blue and one into a pink cupcake!!
But I wouldn't have the patience to wait for someone to bake a cake to find out! lol
Will you do one Hope?

Inglewood just over 24 hours!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek I'm so, so excited for you!

Chocolate what a great PH!! exciting that your attempt is soon!

Sunset have a lovely time seeing DD again before you get to meet her!

Pinga nice to see MIL is taking an interest in your scan. Sorry to hear you have pregnancy insomnia but lovely to hear you have a little bump appearing

Finally stopped freaking out about the full moon posted a thread on the TTC blue board and lots of their girls were conceived with a full moon as well as new!
