Anyone else due??

[dannikins]

i had my scan today.
everything looks perfect.

and IM STILL TEAM GREEN...

bub was being very lazy and slept through the entire thing, so we had trouble getting shots , and i even had to lay on my side to get clear pics of the heart etc.

we couldnt get a decent potty shot, but the tech said there are no obvious boy bits, so we still have a shot at pink.
im so relieved its all over, and that it wasnt ruined with boy bits like last time.

here is a 4D video of bubs today.

Dannikins, glad to hear the scan went well! Although, I'm confused. The scanner talked to you about there not being any "boy bits" but you're still team green? Meaning: did you ask her if there were any obvious boy parts or did she just offer that even though you didn't want to know??

You're so brave!! It would DRIVE ME CRAZY.

Today I have my 16 week (I'm a few days further) appointment. Unfortunately, it's not scheduled with my CNM who promised me the 18 week scan. It's with an OBGYN that I wasn't even sure I wanted to go back & see because she's... Okay, it's me. I don't like her a lot. So, we'll see if she lets me have my 18 week ultrasound. If not. I might cry. Right there in the office. OR, I might email the CNM afterwards. OR I might just pay and go get a private scan. Who knows.

he asked me how many children i already had, then asked me if i had a good mix.
i said i have 4 boys, so im kind of expecting another boy.
he than asked if i wanted him to have a peek, and i said if you get a good shot.

he couldnt get a clear view, (bub was asleep the entire time,and was kind of facing my tail bone, back and down , sort of thing) but said boy bits are usually pretty obvious by now, and he cant see any 'obvious' boy bits.
so there is still a chance for pink.
so because we couldnt get a clear potty shot, im still team green.

'no obvious boy bits', is much better than, 'really obvious, in your face, boy bits', like i had last time....lol

Agreed!! So, you kinda wanted to know, but only if he was sure...but you're fine being team green? Amazed at your peace with it!

Actually, I had my 16 week appointment today. I was nervous because I was meeting with a different DR than the one who promised me the early scan. This DR offered to look for bits today, but didn't seem confident. Kinda kicking myself now, but I told her not to look since it is a little too early. Last thing I need is to be told "girl" and have it be a "boy" in 2 weeks! So, now I get to schedule my appointment for the last week in January, 18 weeks. I'm excited I get to do it early.

Unfortunately, through a series of events, I have to announce to my mom tomorrow. I was going to do it via e-mail, but DH thinks that's too "impersonal." I just don't want to listen to it...or have to respond to it...etc. Oh well. At least we're holding it back from everyone else. Going to announce after we know the gender & just going to say, "I'm pregnant...and by the way it's a ___boy___."

When do you have your scan?
I have an appt. and probably a scan on Friday I have been very good at not thinking to much about gender the past 4 weeks, but now I´m getting nervous I will see a big straight boy nub! Getting doubts about going team green, I really prefer to find out at birth when it´s a boy, but at this point I would so love to hear it´s a girl in 4-5 weeks!
I hope all our babies are healthy!
