Anyone else due??

[Indira]

I can't believe there's only 3 days until my ultrasound. We're stuck on boy names. So stuck that DH (who said he'd spend time thinking about it) suggested a name that was written on the storage room wall in our basement. The kicker, it had 60% of the same letters as 2 of our sons names! grrrrrrrrrrrrr. DH told me he's "bored" of boy names. NO KIDDING!

Sorry I´m laughing but that is so funny!
I hope your weekend will fly by.
I can´t wait to hear your news Monday

O yes no nub is a good thing.
And I´m having indeed a wonderful evening nubsessing I´m only page 7 of the ultrasound gender board so a lot more to go. And now I think the white thing on my picture isn´t the nub but the coccyx, that´s good news.

Indira so happy to hear from you glad it's over and all went well and you couldn't see an obvious nub, that's a good thing. This nubsessing is going to eat us all alive! why didn't she take nt measurements thoroughly? Mine I think went for 15 minutes or so.
Applesoup you can't find a boy name because there is no need.

I posted the picture in the ultrasound board!
Yeah the nubsessing is going to kill me! But a lot of fun too. Belle they didn´t do measurements because it´s not a standard procedure here, I didn´t knew that. It´s the first time I´m having a baby in this country.
Applesoup at what time is your scan tomorrow? I actually start feeling nervous when I think about it, 3 boys´ mums have very good rates on here for their 4 th

Hi Indira, looked at your scan. Ultrasounds can look wonky really quick--especially when the tech isn't trying to get a good picture. Baby looks normal, but I didn't see a nub. Sorry! (Or, maybe that's a good thing?)

My scan is really late tomorrow. It's supposed to start at 7:30 ET (I actually live in MT, but thought it'd be easier to convert for ya'll.) I actually have to check into the hospital, wear a bracelet, & wait on their perpetually late staff to get me in. They've never gotten me in on time. So...by the time I have my scan, pick up my kids, get home, put them in bed & look at it...and cry about it...it may be 11 ET before I get to post about it. We'll see.

Thanks for your good thoughts. I just. I'm at the point where I just. I don't want to think about what's next. If it's a boy, what then? Honestly, part of me wants my husband to go get a vasectomy & just be done. I'll just be so hurt & devastated to hear boy that I'll just be done. Do any of you feel like you could hit that point? But if I'm done, then what then? I spend my life eternally wishing & sad that I don't have a daughter? UGGGGGGGGGGH.

I hope you guys are right. I can't convince myself it's a girl, yet I'm still going to be really upset to have them TELL me it's a boy.

[Indira]

Thanks for having a look, yes, no nub is good!

I converted it and I will be thinking of you at that time.
I completely understand what you mean with how you´re feeling. I don´t know how to respond to that, I don´t want to diminish your feelings about wanting a daughter. I´ve read from some all boy moms saying that the longing for a daughter does get less with time, at a certain point other things happen and become more important as our kids grow up. I will try to see the advantages of having an all boy family and I know I could be proud about it in the end. To prepare for the possible disappointment I´m really working hard at focusing at and enjoying all the positive things about my boys, DS2 in his caracter is totally how I imagined a daughter to be. I actually got the child that I was hoping for, except for wearing dresses. How I hope you can forget about all this tomorrow

goodluck apple!!!!!
we will be stalking the thread waiting for your PINK update.....

[applesoup]

Thanks, girls! Not sure how I'm going to sleep tonight...or not totally lose it all day tomorrow...or if I'm really going to be able to wait to read the card that she writes it down on. Part of me just wants to see it with my own eyes--especially since I'm so good at reading ultrasounds. I'd be devastated if they told me girl & it came out boy... So many worries. Is it really realistic to find peace with this whole thing if I never get my desired gender?

Indira, I think you're right. The more kids we have & the older they get, there will reach a point when it'll just make more sense to focus on what I do have. But won't the pain be there still? It's hard not to be slapped with the opportunities I don't get...especially when adorable girl scouts show up on my front door selling cookies...like they did today...

[dannikins]

it is totally realistic to find peace with it!
i know a few ladies in the same situation.
they say that once the boys grow up, and i gain all these daughter in laws, it will all change.
and apparently the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship is always a good one when the mother in law never had daughters.

this also happens to be correct for me, my hubby was an only child, and his mother wanted a daughter her whole life.
she never got one obviously, but she treats me as her own, and we get along really well.

Applesoup I'm glad I didn't miss out on wishing you the very best of luck and were all here thinking of you. I'm a day ahead of you I'll have to check back on Tuesday FX XO
