Ladies due in Sept/Oct/Nov 2012, gather here!

[TTC5]

I just wish i knew, at times i think i would like to stay team green just to hold the hope of it being a girl till the birth but i know i just wont be able to do it. DH wants to find out, so if he knew and i didnt i know i would torture him to tell me

With DS3 i had gut feeling it was a girl and it hurt when she said boy, so if i just believe this is a boy from the off then hopefully i will be prepared when i hear boy.

Rainbow ~ 1 week isnt too long. i cant wait to get that far along and hopefully get a good nub shot.

TTC5 ~ are you going to find out?

I am thinking we might, might ask if they will write it down for us to take home and look when it is just DH and I alone together..

TTC 5, that sounds like a great idea I think I will be doing that myself!

[HappyLea]

TTC5 i think that is a nice way to do it and i thought of doing the same but i think if i got home and read it was a girl i would want to go straight back to double and triple check! And if i read boy i would want to look to ensure she got it right. I also thought about letting DH look and him tell me later but what if he doesnt know what he is looking at??!!

I think i will go for private gender scan when i can and suck it up and have a look between the legs but i will not be telling friends and family i think i will tell them we are having a suprise, so when i hear boy the silly comments wont come until after birth, dont want to ruin my last pregnancy with listening to silly comments.

Going to ask for some potty shots too so we can look when we get home

I had a little bit of a *nightmare* last night, lol. I had a dream that on my ultrasound it showed a boy, and I felt so sad and so crushed (exactly what I said I wouldn't feel) that then in my dream the sonographer said "wait, no I was wrong, I see labia"...LOL Who thinks the word "labia" in their sleep????????

And then I got so excited that it was a baby girl and then my dream bounced to seeing her in this light pink very long ruffly gown (I dont really like lite pink much as a color so...) and she was sleeping so peacefully in her bassiet and then they told me "she's not ready yet! She has to go back in your belly to grow some more" and I said something like, "OK that's fine, at least now I'll know without a doubt she's really all girl."

I guess despite all my good intentions, my heart is really, really set on this baby being a girl.

SIGH.

I really do not want to be heart broken in a few weeks time.

Yesterday was a bad day... DH may have torn his bicep, has to get it confirmed in a few hours. We were thinking ok he is hurt and needs a sling for awhile. But the Dr started talking about how he will need surgery Saturday or Monday, no movement for 6wks, therpy to get movement back, and maybe in 3-4mths he will be healed. All this sucks. I hope the test today show that it is not torn because we have so much to do before the baby comes.

DS1 starts t-ball practice this Saturday so instead of us all going as a family only I will be going. DH will stay home with DS2 who is very calm when alone. DH had taken time off for a nice long Easter weekend trip but it looks like I will be the one driving the 4hrs, hope I can stay awake.

I have a Dr visit tomorrow so I hope I hear good news! I did have a dream last night about a little girl who looked like DS1 with the big blue eyes and wavy hair.

Sounds like great boy friendly timing!

I feel the exact same as you...super tired, starving all the time but that's about it. Dreading the morning sickness. I get it really bad. You?

five baies, i have not got morning sickness at all in my previous pregnancy aswell. So i am not expecting for this one aswell.

but i will be happy if i get it. Becasue old wife tale says boy

I think it's almost impossible to avoid, auroara. We've all invested so much into this - following stressful diets, sticking stuff up our hoo-has, experiencing the heartbreak of BFN after BFN or m/c, or both....

I know I'll feel disappointed if I hear boy, but the best I can hope for is a quick recovery from that disappointment with the knowledge that I will love that little baby no matter what.

TTC5, I like your plan. WHen will you do that, at your 20wk scan or earlier?

Auroara, some people say that the gender you dream about it what you are having. I haven't had any gender dreams yet this time... I really hope you get your baby girl.

Mocha, just a week left-- are you getting excited?

wantingson, I was sick with all 4 of my pregnancies. I was sickest with #2 (a boy) and #3 (a girl) so I wouldn't put too much stock in the old wives tales. In fact, part of the reason I thought #3 was a boy was because I was just as sick as I was with my son.

PP, how did your DH tear his bicep? Sounds awful!

Try terrified!

Actually, time has started to go more quickly, which is a blessing. It's been a busy week with stuff with the kids, a blood test for me yesterday, and a mw appointment tomorrow. Next week I'll be busy getting ready for our trip out of town for Easter - we're getting the scan on the way to my Mom's place. It's helping keep my mind off it for at least a few seconds every hour . I've tried to let myself fantasize about how it would feel to have them tell me it's a girl, and I can't do it - it seems like such an impossible prospect for me that I can't even imagine it!
