purple- i wish so much you have a girl! Also for your DH .

mocha -i would sell the stuff for sure. They already told you baby is a girl and you can use the money for new girls stuff.

I also have some baby boy clothes .Buyed it when I had bad GD after DD3 and also before I find out she is a girl because I was sure she is a boy. Good thing is it's not much just in 2 little plastic box under my bed.
No way I would go out and buy any boy stuff now for this baby. way to dangerous for me lol give me GD.

Really I have no feeling what is this baby at all.

Hobber, I often see spots if I get up too fast when I am pg, as I have low BP. Make sure you drink heaps of water, as your blood volume increases so much. Also, if you were straining, it could have been due to the pressure on the vagus nerve. The hot shower causes your blood vessels to dilate, which also drops your BP. Take it easy and drink, drink, drink.

That's good to know! I will drink more water for sure. I get dizzy when I stand up too fast too.

I got really dizzy with DS1 because everyone said to drink ginger ale all day. I didn't drink enough water because of the soda. But with DS2 I drank lots of water and hardly any soda.

My rule of water is drink atleast 2-4oz everytime you pee. Drink a cup with every cup of coffee/soda and every meal. And don't go more 2-3hrs without drinking 4-6oz of water. Even my Dr likes this because everytime you pee that is 40-60% amnio fluid. Drinking plenty of water resupplies clean fluid for the baby.

Ok the time for my ultrasound has been set for May 7th! They were booked the week before so that is the soonest I can be seen.

Mine is the same day. I hope we don't both have girls!! You take ALL the pink dust!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone with depressed DH's, I have one too! I think I am worse than he is, but he is definitely a moody turd sometimes! He gets grouchy and snappy with me and the kids and has NO patience. I think he would do well on an antidepressant. He smokes "special cigarettes" which help him a lot, actually, but when he is out, he is a bear!

So I have an amnio scheduled for tomorrow, and I still don't want to go, but I haven't canceled the appointment! What should I do????? I am horrible at making decisions and I just wish someone would tell me I HAVE to do one or the other. I talked to my regular Dr. yesterday about it, and his recommendation was to wait until the u/s at 18 weeks and go from there. That 's what I am wanting to do too, but I am just afraid that the u/s won't pick up something. Does anyone know the % of babies with a good u/s that went on to be born with issues that weren't caught ahead of time?

oh, wish I could sleep and wake up in a few weeks lol (a decent nights sleep would be a blessing too - DS and DH have between them ruined my every nights sleep for the last month)

I put some statistics in your other thread!

Hobbers, I still think your baby is a boy, though there is a little doubt in my mind, but i think that is created by how much you keep saying you think it's a girl

I can't advise you on the amino b/cuz i prob wouldn't do one. that being said, if you really want to find out if anything is wrong genetically, the only way to do that conculsively is an amino, and they are pretty safe I believe. It's totally up to you, but you may have less stress if you go thru with it so then you'd know for sure.

Mocha, I really think that babe is all girl, i think its safe to dump most of the boy clothes. I agree about keeping a few favorites just in case, or even as extra play clothes or something.

I know if this baby is a girl, I'll still use some of the onesies that DS2 had that were sorta gender neutral, but knowing how me and DH make bald babies, I'll for sure want to load on girly clothes so that when we're all about, she will look like a girl since her bald head might make it hard to distingiush.

And btw everyone who told me how grumpy their DHs were...thanks a lot It meant a lot to feel that I wasn't alone with mr. nasty craggly monster sometimes

[Hobbermittens]

Auroara, you really think my baby is a boy? I thought you were thinking girl? Well, I hope you are right about the boy prediction! I am trying not to think about gender much now, just hoping the baby is healthy. I am just worried because I am so damn old! I wish I had started having kids earlier, or at least if I knew I was going to have 4, we should have had them a little closer together. Also, as far as cranky DH's, I think it is pretty common. My best friend has one too. Sometimes I can't believe what an a$$hole my DH can be to me and the kids when he is in a mood!

Rainbow, thanks for the link about the u/s. Those statistics are pretty good.
