September 2013 babies!!

[Wanting-a-girl]

Fish and Southern, you are in my thoughts constantly. Please keep us informed as you know more info. Yes you're right, it certainly has been a stressful week for some. I have a little good news, but dont want to take away from those that are having a rough time. I had my anatomy scan today. We DID NOT find out even though I tried so hard to plead my case to DH about knowing now, he really wants to wait.... bummer

Anyway, baby is all good and healthy and right on track with growth. Such a nice relief, but when she was measuring the femur I was trying sooooooo hard to look between legs but she said legs were closed! grrrrr.....
Then later on in the scan when she was looking at kidneys, she said "oh I hope you dont know what you're looking at because I know the sex" I couldnt believe it!!!!!!! I was trying sooooooooooo hard to see but nothing was hitting me in the face!!! If she's zoomed in Im sure I could have seen but she didnt!! Poop!!! To think I was sooooooooooo close to just stumbling on it myself...

Anyway, here is the potty shot whilst measuring the femur bone (legs are closed) but I thought it was worth a try seeing if any of the experts on here could see anything... I'll put it in Ultrasound forum too....
Anyway, hoping the good news of a healthy baby cheers us up a bit, regardless of its gender
Wish she hadnt of said she knew.....

THis is the pic of the femur measurment

I went to see the drs and he did all the usual checks and can't figure out the cause. He pressed round my uterus and said its swollen on one side and it was incredibly tender to touch, which he was slightly worried about. He can only think that its the baby stretching and her constant kicking! I've got to go back if it gets worse.

49 hours til my next scan, but not actually thinking about it too much.

i just know how many hours it is LOL ;-)

oh that's sort of reasuring not much help if you're in pain thou..poor you x

Thanks for all the well wishes, I will let you know after my appt this afternoon (2:30 EST). So far today everything has calmed down so that's a great sign. Mum, to answer your question I usually end up in preterm labor and in the hospital around 29 weeks but luckily never delivered that early. DS1 was 31 weeks, DS2 35 weeks and DS3 33 weeks.

Salsa, no expert here but my guess would also be girl! Glad he/she is healthy.

Northern, sorry for all the pains you're having. Hope it goes away soon and turns out to be nothing serious. Good luck at your scan as well!

Girlsway, Looking forward to your scan as well!

DLTA, glad you got to hear a healthy heartbeat. When are you having a scan? (sorry if you've already said, hard to keep up!)

Just curious, do any of our babies (besides little Lennon) have a name for sure yet?

[Salsa]

We have our names picked out - if it's a boy it's Billy Eric, (Eric after my great grandfather who died in WWII) and if its a girl Darcey Lyn (Darcey after my favorite ballerina Darcey Bussell) I used to be a professional ballet dancer, and Lyn is the name of both DH and my mothers. Both names have very special meaning to us but I've been wanting to use Darcey now for 4yrs!!

[Southern Butterfly]

Billy and Darcey are cute! We have our names somewhat narrowed down but probably won't make the final decision until we see him (as we've done with our first 2 babies, DS3 was the only one we had a name chosen before birth).

[fish2012]

Ah cute names!

[Northern_Shutterbug]

Providing they don't suddenly see boy bits at the scan this girl will be Evelyn Rose or Lyla Rose, but if the do suddenly see boy bits, it'll be Dexter.

[DLTAG89]

Yeah i have a scan on the 3rd of may (only 2 weeks and 2 days) and cannot wait. I'm about 90% sure we will be having a boy though.

We also have all but 1 name picked, if we have a boy he will be Oakley Luca Thomas and if we have a girl she will be ? Lilly Jayne. We are really struggling with a girls name

We had Evelyn and Dexter on our list, great choice . Billy and Darcey are so cute too x

[atomic sagebrush]

We talked very seriously about naming Susannah, Oakley. I think it's super cute for a boy or a girl.

[fish2012]

Daltag that's my birthday! Hope that's a good girly omen ;-)

Oakley is very cute!

I think we're on Naomi Elizabeth grace if she makes it! Naomi cause I love it Elizabeth for my mum and grace cause it'll be down to His grace that she arrives safely. If its a surprise boy Daniel Albert! Never been so set so far ahead! Only half way thou (hopefully) so things could change!
