UK SMOG Wannabes - November (moved from PL)

[chocolate]

Thanks Z! My scan is tuesday (29th) 11.45am, Dh just told me he can't go!! His boss is short staffed will def give him the 13th off for my 20wk scan and so even if the consultant can tell me on tues, he asked if I could wait till 13th dec, so he can be there instead of my mum. What could I say???? Arghhhh, dilema!! Secretly want to ask anyway with my mum and not say, but he'd know if I did find out (I can't lie to save myself) and he would be hurt.

Why not ask for them to write it down and put it in a sealed envelope and open it together? X

i think i would do what chocolate said and get them to write it down x x

Inglewood ~ I too would do what Chocolate suggested! I think it sounds like a lovely idea and that way you can both open it together

Babymad ~ hows your little boy today? is he recovering well?

Charliespy ~ how are you doing today? have you managed to eat some food?

Deaks ~ how are you feeling? any pg symptoms yet?

Lavenderlime ~ i'm so excited for your first attempt! not long to go now!

Indigo ~ when are you testing?

Big wave hello to everyone i've missed!!!

[Babymad]

Me too Inglewood
Sunset ~ He's doing well thanks we've spent the last two days at home resting. The sickness hasn't eased up for me so it's been nice to be at home, not that I really done much anyway for the last few months! Hoping to take his bandages off tomorrow and check his wounds. How are you doing? Are you all sorted for babies arrival? X

[Inglewood]

Hi all, chocolate that's a great idea, will suggest it to Dh when he's home! Part of me is now hoping it's NOT the consultant as as I said b4, the sonographer wouldn't tell me at 18wks. That way it's out my hands anyway! Dh knows how desp I am to know, but I understand him wanting to know with me!

Babymad, glad the wee fella is doing well! Hope the wounds are looking good and he has a trouble free recovery x

Scottish water came where I was asleep, thankfully my sewage issues are on the main pipe under the main rd!! Thank god, was worried I'd have to pay out a fortune!

[Sunset]

Inglewood ~ i so hope he likes chocolates idea! I'm so excited for tuesday and i really hope you get to find out! either way it'll be lovely for you to see your little beanies again

Threelittlemen ~ Loved the picture you uploaded on FB! your daughter is adorable

Babymad ~ fingers crossed his wounds look good! i'm doing well apart from suffering real bad with fluid retention. I've only just started shopping for baby so still have quite a few bits i need to get. I'm gonna start packing my hospital bag next week so it's done in case she decides to come early. You'e nearly in your second trimester, how exciting!!

Just home from the school xmas craft fair, was ok, lots of nice stuff but I had the 2 boys and my 85yr old neighbour and it was super busy, so spent my whole time checking the boys were still about and my elderly neighbour hadn't got lost in the crowd! All I bought for myself was a bit of tablet!!! how sad! At least I will look forward to it later with a cup of tea.

Had a few people say things to me like, "Are your sure ur pg, u look like u have lost weight, ur face is so thin and pale"
I've dyed my hair back to brown, got rid of my highlights, so think that makes me look paler and I actually stood on the scales today and have put on 6lbs now from my bfp! which I am happy about (as long as it's not tons of weight) as hate to think the babies aren't getting enough. Told Dh about the envelope idea and he said, if it's the consultant and she offers to tell you, do it! Get her to write it down and we can decide to what to do when you get home. So thanks Chocolate!! Might get to know b4 the 13th dec after all?? Roll on tues!!! Either way, I get to see my babies!!

Yay, glad he is up for it, we may do that next time as I think I don't want to find out - reality is if its a girl I want to know, but if its a boy I don't want to know and can't get round that! But if its in the envelope I'd give it to someone I trusted for safe keeping incase I change my mind :-). I'm sure the weight will come nearer the end lol so enjoy it! X

I love the idea of putting the gender in an envelope - but I always imagine they'd be reluctant to actually write it down in case you try and hold them to it!
