Gosh I will also be devestated. How horrible does that sound devestated to have a healthy baby! Man do I even deserve to have one?! Sheesh!

The 16 wk pic is pretty clear. I certainly see the issues with the 12 wk shots. I can definitely see how the pic on left would look girly IF baby's back was flat. But the other is a tough call. Definitely looks boyish, especially with the 2 side by side. How horrible that false hope is. I'm sorry you didn't get your boy. Sorry if this brings it all up again for you.
I appreciate you reposting it for me.

It didnt take me long to come around, i love her very much and my husband helped me a great deal because instead of going off on me for being sad it wasnt a boy he just held me and let me cry it out and told me he understood why i was sad but that she was beautiful and so far perfect and she was going to need me so i had to push past it. I was extremely worried if it was a girl that he was going to be devastated too and i wouldnt have known how to help him as i would have been suffering as well..but instead he cried the most amazing happy tears for someone who claimed he wanted a boy you would have never known it because he sure loves her exactly at she is now... Never once was i sad she was healthy, matter of fact i have counted my lucky stars that at the very least she IS very healthy. If my husband hadnt been so amazing i probably would still be suffering with my GD..for now its under control and no emilee you didnt drag it all up for me. i was worried initially as i began to hunt for that picture and actually im pleasantly surprised it didnt break my heart to find it...i definitely wont be saving it to my phone or anything ever again, lol..but its all good as it is.

Emilee you deserve a healthy and happy baby too. Its definitely okay to be sad, even devastated if it ends up not being the gender you want...just know you arent alone if thats the case. -big hugs-

Bura, that is looking like a girl yes That nub definitely looks boyish, even if it's early. Sorry that you had so much false hope there...

[Rosie85]

Def a girl bura. I am sorry about the false hope as well. I know how much that can hurt...i was so sure ds3 was a girl...his scan even looked girly at first glance and i got sooo excited...then the wand was moved to a better view.

Baby is doing full on acrobatics in my belly. Crazy how they suddenly become to strong! So during my appt i found out my placenta is actjally posterior but i wasnt feeling movement early because my uterus is soo retroverted and hasnt moved foward yet like it is suppose to. My placenta is also quite low laying but just luckily enough outside the range of needing to be monitored.
I am super concerned about my blood pressure. I have had a ton of headaches and my reading was 130/78. Getting close to the danger zone. I really hope it doesnt amount to anything but something doesnt feel right. I am going to a buy a blood pressure cuff i think to self monitor...good idea or bad?

Buy the cuff rosie. Especially during those headaches put that cuff on and see whats going on. Hope its nothing and baby and you are okay

[Burakoam]

XX i feel like im counting down the days with you till your bloodwork gets back lol

[EmileeJane]

I feel the same Xx. I'm so jealous that you get to find out so soon! I saw that there are already gals in the Dec/Jan/Feb DD group who already found out what they're having!! I feel really far behind! Can't believe how early everyone here gets to find out.
I caved and called the only elective US place in town. She was impossible to get a hold of and when I finally talked with her she said her equipment was being worked on and she wasn't booking appointments at the moment. So I feel like that was my sign. Of course now I just feel tortured!
I have my monthly dr appt next Wednesday. I'm going to message him ahead of time and see if he could or would be able to slip me in somewhere for a quick peek at gender. Trying to figure out a way to convince him about how much sleep I'm losing over this without seeming too nutty and desperate. Okay I'm fine with desperate, just don't want to come off as a crazy person!
I'm still having a hard time. Really depressed. It's hardest when I'm at home with the kids and my mind has freedom to wander I have to get this over with but cards do not seem to be falling into place for getting an early answer. My doc is my last chance either that or 6/9 it is!
