Let the stupid family comments begin.... I just changed my profile picture on FB.

Wow - brave woman. I've still only told immediate family and my closest friends, and I'm 14 weeks along! We haven't even told the kids yet. I'm not going to post on FB until I know the gender so I can try to avoid some of the insensitive remarks. I hope you don't get a lot of them!

HappyLea - I'm so sorry you're dealing with so much crap still. Hopefully things will get better soon .

I did it now because some people already know by word of "grandpas" mouth. But also it gives some of them time to get there reactions out before my neices birthday party. I really don't care what they say but I am not the type to ruin a childs birthday party.

Purple-that is one cute tiny baby! I hope no one will say bad comments to you.

mocha- I know how you feel this is my 3. sway and no more kids for us . And of course I think this is another girl.DH was so right we should have stoped...

So I just got back from my 12 wk NT scan. The baby looks healthy; just waiting on blood work. But I saw the nub and it is totally a girl. I knew it would be. Nothing ever works out the way I want it too--I don't know what I was thinking, trying to sway! Who was I kidding?

I am not as upset as I was about DD2, because at least I know I TRIED. But I should have quit while I was ahead. I can't believe I will have 4 kids now, 3 of which are the gender I did not want!

I grew up with 3 older brothers, and it was wonderful. There's nothing I'd like better than to have a little girl who can have the same experience....

That being said, I've been feeling REALLY down lately. I don't know what it is, but I have a strong gut feeling this baby is a boy. It started right after I booked the early scan - it sort of made me panic when I realised I'm going to know in a few weeks whether I'll ever have a daughter. I've experienced GD before - I swayed unsuccessfully with ds3 and was gutted when I found out he was a boy. It would be waaaaay worse this time because I know there's absolutely no possibility of ever trying again. I'm just scared to death of having to face the knowledge that I'll never know what it's like to have a daughter.

If I thought it would make me feel better to cancel the scan, I would, but I think that would make it worse. I've already moved into GD mode anticipating hearing boy - I don't want to spend the whole pregnancy in limbo like this. I need to see the penis myself so I can make peace with it and try to move on.

Sigh...sorry to be such a downer, ladies - especially when I don't even know the gender for sure yet. I blame the pregnancy hormones.

I totally understand, Mocha. I am sure my baby is a girl--sawthe nub clear as day at my scan, and I usually don't even know nubs, but this was the flattest of flat. Totally parallel to the spine. Totally a girl. I am trying to not be bummed. I really wanted to be team green, but I couldn't miss that nub. I wish I had never known about the damn nub theory--there is such a thing as too much information!

I really hope you have a girl in there. But if not, it sounds like dealing with it asap is probably best for you.

[Mochagirl]

Thanks, Hobber. I'm really sorry about the nub. It's possible you were seeing something else, though. Are you going to post a nub shot?

I feel marginally better. I sent a pm to coldwater, asking her to look at my nub shot. She felt like there's an 85 percent chance it's a girl. Now of course i'm worried I'm going to get my hopes up and be even more devastated if I hear boy. I can't win! I'm either sad because I've convinced myself it's a boy or I start feeling positive then scare myself out of it. Blah.

[Hobbermittens]

I guess it is possible, as I am actually pretty bad at nub shots and sometimes have no idea what people are seeing. This was a white thing protruding straight across in that area. It was really white in comparison to the baby. I didn't get any pictures that showed it, because I specifically asked for no gender clues. But there is no way I could have not seen what I saw unless I had my eyes closed the entire time.

If you are getting an 85% guess from coldwater, that's good!!

I'm sorry Hobber!!

You are still really early..too early for nub guessing. It may be a girl, but there is still a chance for a boy too!
