JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2014 DUE DATE CLUB

[from2to3]

I've been trying so hard to think blue.. But at night all I do is dream it's a girl and dream about finding out and dream about announcing it. I dream about it every night and it's exhausting... I wish I could stop

This is so me! I told myself from the beginning, I'm just going to assume its a boy, going to look at boy stuff, boy names, etc.! Well....all I think is girl! I hope this is my body's way of telling me it's a girl, but think it's just my deep desire for one. Symptoms make me nervous. When pregnant with DS2, though people said, it's got to be a girl, I always said I'm not so sure but I think deep down I assumed it was a girl and it never dawned on me I'd get two boys. Obviously I love ds2 more than anything and would never take him back, but the past couple years I've mourned I'd never get a girl because we thought we were done. I never got over it. Now this time I KNOW without a doubt we are done, don't know what I'll do if we don't get a girl and my 4 yr old doesn't get his baby sister he's been talking about for the past year.

Hoping- I'm so sorry..hugs to you.
Dreams- I'm sorry the blood work said boy, but congrats on a healthy little one.
Adiensmum- I wouldn't put much stock into intelligender. I think mine was a pink/ purple but more purple. The box said purple is boy..and we know that was wrong.. are you getting any blood work done or waiting for u/s?

Thankns snips. I am going for the NT next week, depending on the result I'll get an amnio, otherwise I am waiting for a gender scan at about 18 weeks as the blood work cost a fortune. I am looking forward to the NT just to see a nub and skull and try to guess. I watched my little boys ultrasound again recently and now, after seeing so many U/S pictures I think I can see he was a boy, and I couldn't have back then, so maybe the nub will show me something more concrete than the likes of intelligender, but it was a dark, dark boy result, very disappointing.

Two nights ago I said a prayer and asked to dream of my future baby. I always do that when I want to dream of something or someone and I more than not always do. I dreamed of a little girl with dark hair and dark eyes like mine, she was wearing a little singlet and nappies only because it was warm and my sister was giving her a bottle. Maybe it's a sign or just wishful dreaming. It was a good dream at least and because I asked to dream of it it meant something to me, but of course, can't trust a dream either.

Or maybe it's just my sister who's going to fall pregnant with YET another girl as I end up with another boy. lol

I too keep wondering if it's my body's way of telling me it's a girl.. But I more so think it's just my desire causing the dreams I dreamt DS3 was a girl too so I'm not putting any faith in it! I get my u/s tomorrow so I will be sure to put up a nub pic as long as baby cooperates! I'm just preparing myself to hear boy!! I'll only be 14+1 so my sister (the tech) won't even give me a guess! Boo!

Been looking in to it & evidently false y's are not at all uncommon. Don't know at all for sure why, some say that DNA from previous sons can be in your system. I also wonder if my thyroid meds which are made from pig thyroids could effect the results(blood thinners made from pigs def can). I'm probably grasping at straws but who know. Wound up talking to the OB coordinator at dr's office again & she said that she would not count on the maternit21 results in regards to gender that really till you see baby you can not know for sure.

So basically I'm totally confused! Going to continue to believe baby is a boy & work on names & the thought of a 4th son. Actually all of my kids would prefer a boy & my youngest would have a playmate oh & I have plenty of clothes for him. Plus my boys really are all the sweetest & overall I think I probably am a better boy mom. Little by little each day I know I will get happier with another DS. Who knows maybe just maybe there still is a small chance that baby is a girl & in a few weeks I will have a giant surprise! Or maybe by the time I see this LO I will be so head over heels in love with him I will celebrate when the tech tells me its a boy!

Good luck tomorrow menlc611!

Hi all,

Newbie here. After a run of boys I am really hoping to finish our family out with another princess. I will be happy either way but I miss all the things that come with having a *little* girl (mine is not so little anymore ) I had a 12 week scan and this is the best pic I have. I am not even sure if there is a nub in this pic. Hopefully some of you who are well versed at reading these things can take a guess based on this photo. Thanks in advance!

dreams, it can't be easy waiting and I would also be looking for any small chance the test might be wrong. I also heard about previous bub boy leaving Y's in mum's for a while. That is very true and I can see how it could find Y's even though one is carrying a girl.

I am glad you are able to see the bright side of having another boy though, I think it's easier to just accept it's a boy and be pleasantly surprised later if it's not than the opposite. Enjoy your little one, boy or girl, it's a little piece of you and how to love them once they're in there?
