Due in June/July/August 2015

With our last son, I put a digital test in my husband's advent calender (I do individual bags for each day for the kids and hubby) and he LOVED it. This time I was just so excited that I told him right away. Oh well! I will have to think of something good for telling my mom

If we get news a girl is on the way (I should get gender results around dec 16) I will definitely be sending my immediate family some kind of pregnancy/gender reveal announcement in a Christmas picture way. Fingers Xx

I revealed this pregnancy to my husband by sending my toddler to him with the pregnancy test! He thought it was a toothbrush! Sweet boy

Sounds like everyone had a nice thanksgiving (aside from a little morning sickness).

I thought I would chime in on the early gender prenatal tests. In the us, if your doctor orders the harmony test directly from ariosa (the manufacturer), the test is $195 if you don't have insurance or free depending on the insurance (mine didn't cover it, but it was still free because ariosa covers it when insurance doesn't.) The only additional cost is the cost of the blood draw. But you have order it directly from the company and not lab corp. (the lab they outsource to).

The only problem my doctors office had was actually getting the kit directly from ariosa because my doctor already had kits through lab corp. (which costs $825 for the harmony test). But they were able to get the kit, but it took some work to make it happen.

Anyone a little worried about gender disappointment? My doctor said she thought our bub is a boy (60% chance), but it was still early. I'm trying to psych myself up to hear "it's a boy" at our ultrasound in a few weeks.... Wonder if anyone else is in the same boat...

My family already know but Im thinking to throw gender reveal party after I find out

Christi, did you do harmony? or are you doing it? Wouldn't those results come before the ultrasound? I'm sure I'll hear boy, I'm guessing it will be apparent on the ultrasound already super early. In Germany it is illegal for them to tell you gender before 14 or 16 weeks, but they will tell you the harmony results earlier so I will have to rely on those. I'm preparing myself as best I can but I think it is one of those things where it just has to happen and then I will deal with it and move forwards

Why can I not sleep??? I haven't got more than 4 hours a night for the last two weeks. Completely opposite of my last pregnancies, I couldn't stay awake with them. It's worry some and I'm exhausted....

Junie, I haven't done the harmony test yet. My doctor ordered it, but the kit didn't come with the requisition form for the blood draw. So, by the time I will actually get the results, I could have a ultrasound. I'm still going to do the harmony test for all the other info, but it won't be before the ultrasound (probably).

Tarasue, I've had the same problem so I started taking 1/2 of a unisom (doxylamine) at night with vitamin b6 to help my morning sickness, but it also works great for helping me sleep. It's class A for pregnancy, which is considered safe to use during pregnancy.

I was the same way up until a few days ago. I hope it passes for you. I chalked it up to nerves.
