Roll-call!! Due June/July/August 2013

[Mrs_P]

Am so jealous of all u guys finding out even those that got opposites as I just really want to find out but there is just no talking DH round no matter how bad i play the GD card !!!

It is your choice to, its your baby as well and you are the one doing the hard work! I can understand him not wanting to know (especially as men don't really have a preference) but could you not discuss you finding out but just not telling him. Seems unfair that he is making a decision for you thats making things harder for you x

Don't judge me ladies, lol. I bought a girl item for good luck today. It was only 12.00 and I figured I could give it to my hubby's cousin (who it definitely having a girl) if we hear boy on the 29th.

I have a few things i brought ages ago before we even started to ttc, not even looked at them to be honest in case it jinxed the baby but i don't see anything wrong with you buying something. With ds3 i put it off til my 20 week scan in case it was tempting fate but i never did get to buy pink and was almost as sad about that as hearing boy (i was sure i'd get a girl and had really looked forward to it).

Hopefully your daughter will be it before you know it

Thanks mrs p he would just get the hump and its actually him that wants a girl more than me - it think he is scared as he will find it harder to bond if he hears boy where as when its born he knows it wont matter so he doesnt want to be upset before hand if that makes sense. If i keep feeling like this i might accidentally have a scan of my own down some time when he isnt about :-)

They are addicting! My gender scan is at 20 weeks and my 3D isn't until 23 weeks. So we will be finding out the gender before the 3D. Actually we may get a few 3D scans at the doctor. I am not using them for my 3D package though because my old OB has a package where you can get it at two different points in your pregnancy. It's 300 bucks but I did it for my first and I feel I am obligated to do it with this one also. Plus I don't like the technology at the new OB's office. It doesn't seem as good. Let me know what the tech says. You would think after so many scans they would have better rates.

Ohh!!! My bad I read 6 days not 6 weeks lol makes more sense now

Anyone else going batty waiting to find out gender? I am 14 weeks now and dying to get a nub shot, but my ob doesn't do a routine ultrasound until 20 weeks. And the only elective ultrasound place anywhere around here is over an hour away, and they won't do scans until 17 weeks anyway. I feel like a nub shot would be a good in-between step - if it looks girly, I will be happy, if it looks boyish, I'll know what to expect at my anatomy scan (but my hopes won't be completely dashed just yet.) I am trying really hard not to think about it, but I am having a hard time. 6 weeks seems forever away!

Good luck with your scan Bama Belle - be sure to update us all.

I'm so sorry you are having such a hard tim with gd Onelastdream - I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like. Be kind to yourself xx

Welcome to the newbies - I hope your pink dreams come true x

Hope all those feeling awful are feeling better soon - that is why I am so infrequent on here, have been feeling gross - I'm glad this is my last time dealing with m/s, counting down til my 12 week scan in 2 weeks.....

Ps. Love the name Maverick cvd - what a little dude he will be xx

Yep me, lol. Thankfully I only have a couple more days. Actually a nub shot will just make it worse. You will find yourself nubsessing, posting to ultrasound forums for guesses, looking at other babies nubs to compare, drawing lines to see the angle, not that I have done any of this mind you, lol. I know how hard the wait is!

Ugh ladies I'm super angry. I dunno if its just my hormones or what. I need to vent and get some opinions!!!!
A girl who is like family to DH is due a week ahead of me, she also has 1 boy. She's super competitive and just rude, I've mentioned this before a while back but for example when DH and I got engaged her congratulations was "as if you gave her a ring before I got one from my boyfriend". How sweet right? Lol. Anyway she found out she's having a girl (she's actually upset about it, she wanted another boy), when exchanging names - we told her we picked Maverick as ours. She replied with "Nice name! That's also ----'s stripper name". This ---- is also a past fling of mine I guess you could say, I was younger (also DH's older brothers best friend, tad odd lol). Number 1: when someone tells you the name they picked, you don't spit on it. Hearing the name we want for our sweet baby boy is also a stripper name of someone we know isn't really something that we'd take as a compliment or put a smile on my face. Why not keep your comments to yourself if thats what you have to say. Maybe I'm just over angry, I really don't know. But also, number 2: is it now weird if we stick with the name, knowing its a now stripper name of someone I had a past with and also DHs brothers best friend???? We see him occasionally.
On one hand I'm thinking whatever it's our baby's name but on the other I'm thinking ill always relate that now. Ugh. She PURPOSELY tries to ruin things, that's why I'm so angry I think. I can't stand her. I feel like we would have eventually found out of course, but it's the way she said it... Like she was throwing it in our face or something. I'm really upset

Sorry it took me so long to update ladies. Baby is healthy but I am pretty sure we are having another girl. The tech said it was still early but she guessed girl. Looked really girly to me. Is it still early?

I was surprised at how poor the u/s pics turned out. I will post it tomorrow. The potty shot was not very clear, even in person. I keep tell myself that at least DD will have a sister and that is something I always wanted growing up. I know I should be happy she is healthy and measuring right on track but I was a little disappointed. I wasn't strict with my diet, so I didn't have a good sway. I was just hoping. I have an elective gender scan next Tuesday, just to confirm.
