UK SMOG Wannabes ~ December

[suregena]

There was a book (I think it may have been the Nanny Diaries - I did read it years ago but can't remember!) where they nicknamed mums of girls 'Smug Mums of Girls'

No WONDER I have no clue... I'm in the UK but I'm not British, so I wouldn't have caught that at all.

Got my SS today! When are we opening them ?

think you can open them whenever you want as long as you tell us what you got The fun starts!

Sorry about your BH, what a pain for you...

Sunset- those comments are almost the only reason I want a girl, people just making judgements and feeling 'sorry' for you if you just have the one gender. Ugh, I am NOT looking forward to the comments. Thank goodness we all understand.

charlie- really hoping you have a lovely experience at your scan tomorrow. Are you taking the boys? Will you post us a pic?
The first weeks do seem to last forever, can't believe I only took the test a week ago, seems like I should be going to my 12 week scan already, time has ground to a halt! I am starting to feel sicky...can't believe it is me this time having read about all you girls feeling bad for so long and not envying you one little bit! Not fun!

Hi all...

Just a quickie...
Congrats Zanacal!!!! Fantastic news!!! You must be so excited!

Well i had my scan yesterday and I finally feel like Í've reached that point where it seems more real! Scan was good... The sonographer was very dismissive of nub shots... and I have no idea what to look for.

Pinga- looks REALLY girlie to me!! WOW, I'd be thrilled if I got a shot like that! Glad you had a good scan and baby healthy, you can really start to enjoy your pg now

Yes i think so too - if what i am looking at is nub it is definately not sticking upwards like boy nub would FX FX FX

indigo - not taking the boys too early to say anything yet....not sure if we will tell them before xmas or wait till 12wk scan x wonder if there is any nub at 10wks doubt it but i should be 13wks when i have my 12wk scan!

Charlie~ Good luck at your scan..
Inglewood~ Tuesday will be here soon!!! I'm gonna say told you so!
Pinga~ thats a beautiful pic

So I am 14dpo if O was when I thought and that was up for debate at the time but thats what FF eventually gave me crosshairs for. I have only had BFN... booo... but no AF either. Went to doc today I have Crohns (really really bad IBS), I have been feeling terrible tenderness in my intestines and I am getting a low grade temp every night. So long story short the office will be calling me tonight because they ordered a blood test for HcG- will know soon for sure if its a BFN..thinking it is, but want to make sure..Confusing bc symptoms could be pregnancy or Crohns- but I DO know the intestine tenderness.... I'll let you know.

Pinga ~ that is one girly nub!!!!! how exciting! glad to hear your scan went well

Charliespy ~ good luck tomorrow!! what time is your scan? dont forget to update us asap!

Hopeanddream ~ good luck!!!

Indigo ~ sorry to hear your suffering atm. MS is terrible at least it means you've got plenty of good pregnancy hormones in your body you will have to get a pregnancy ticker

Deaks ~ are you going to attempt this cycle?

Wishing4pink ~ what's it like having your ds's birthday so close to christmas? i'm worried this baby will born close to christmas.. i thought when i first fell pregnant that i had hopefully avoided christmas since baby is due end of january but then obviously realised that ds2 was born a month before his due date.

Hello to everyone else!!!

HI all, lots to catch upon here, been nightshift

Pinga, OMG! very girly nub! FX for u, the pic's are fab, so clear, wish mine were as good as that.

Charlie, hope u enjoy ur scan tom...what time is it?

Sunset, still envious of ur bump pic!! I had stretchmarks at 20wks with ds1 I was so huge!!! ds2 they just got a bigger bigger but are all over my tummy, like the world map!!

Deaks, sorry to hear ur poorly....hope ur on the mend soon and glad u got ur parcel ok, glad u could use them!!

H&G, FX you have soon good news soon. a lovely BFP! I can't wait for my scan, still having boy dreams, but dh trying to make me think more +vely as he thinks they are girls. Getting so excited and nervous....and I have 4 sleeps to go!!!!

I am putting my xmas tree (finally) up tom and writing santa letters, xmas cards. Chill out day! Not back to work till 21st Dec, on annual leave, then working xmas night joys of nursing!! Luckily a late start, boys will be in bed when I leave. Think I'm struggling at work with tiredness (the next day) and having alot of 'stitch' like pains and spd niggling away, so not sure if I will be working by mid -jan.

Everyone at work knows it's my 20wk scan on tues and asking me to tell them the sex if I find out. Told them I have booked a 4d scan on 18th jan with the boys as a surprise, so NO-ONE will know to then, one of them seemed a bit pee'd off like it was her right to know!! Makes me want to keep it as secret till the end. But have told most people once the boys know I don't mind saying, but beginning to wonder if I will....... I don't want to tell anyone next wk then the boys find out by a stranger, they should be the first to know, not someone at work!! I got all the 'praying for girls' for you, bet it's girls, hope it girls etc....and I can take so much of it, but last night was getting a bit much as if it's boys they will all pity me, I know it!

These bambino's better co-operate on tues or I'll burst with anticipation!!!!! Would be silly to book a gender scan, to have another nhs scan 2 wks later, but couldn't take the wait anymore.....

Should we say when we get out Secret Santa's, just incase any postal probs?????
