Bee we are in the same time zone also! YAY I will definitely be stalking you, lol. I pray this pink streak continues and that you also hear "IT'S A GIRL"! Then...dun dun dun it will be my turn. I really hope this weekend flies by super fast. As for Monday...I don't know what the heck I am going to do to pass the time. Any suggestions?

Praying4Pink - go get a pedicure and your hair done or something hehe!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Maple- FX for you!

Jadis- Tomorrow at 1pm est. You should definitely go grab something pink. Matter of fact, you should grab two! You are celebrating after all!

Mommabee good luck with your scan tomorrow will be checking in for an update!!!

I love all the pink going around, keep it coming ladies!

P4P, my suggestion is nowhere near as fun as CVD's but I clean my house like a maniac when I need to pass time. I clean spots I haven't thought of in months! It's cheaper than a mani/pedi

Hi ladies!

Well I had my scan today at 16+4 wks and all was looking healthy! There is a chance with my type of twins that share a placenta, that one is greedy and uses more nutrients and blood, leaving the other starved. It is about a 15% chance of happening. But all clear today! Phew.

I got the impression the u/s tech was a little annoyed that I asked for the gender today, she was not very forthcoming. But she said at the end 60% determination that they are GIRLS.

So Im not sure what to make of that. It is promising, but I probably shouldnt get my hopes up??

Next scan is at 18+4 wks - anatomy scan. I guess all will be revealed then...

What do you think??

Did you get any potty shots that you can post? Not sure why your tech would be annoyed unless she/he isn't very good at her/his job. That has to be a very common request and 16 weeks isn't too early at all!! I would think you could definitely see boy parts by now. Most 16 week scans look very similar to 20 week scans.

I don't want to get your hopes up incase your tech was a complete moron however, I really do think there is a good chance you are having girls!! If she didn't see boy parts on either baby I think that is a really good sign!!

I feel really guilty......
With my first pregnancy I did not drink ANY caffeine at all. With my second I would take a sip or two out of DH's drinks when we went out to eat. With my third I would order my own drink when we went out but that was it. With this pregnancy I have no willpower at all. I have been drinking 2-3 sodas everyday because when I tried to drink water and uncaffeinated drinks in the beginning I got really sick (I think I was dehydrated) and two days ago I bought a coffee. Yesterday I reasoned that I could drink the coffee if I didn't drink any other caffeinated drinks all day long and today I have had one coffee and one soda.

Be honest is this horrible? Should I try not to drink the caffeinated drinks? I am not very worried about low birth weight, all 3 of my previous babies have been between 8 and 9 pounds, but it can't be that healthy.

This sounds just like my house except I am already in the second trimester and it is still waiting.

Mommyof3boys: I drank coke and pepsi all the way through my first 2 pregnancies.. with this little one I waited until I was 12-13 weeks. But since then I drink at least one pepsi/coke a day.. sometimes 2.. well I'm at the end and I have been enjoying 2 anyway.

The amount of caffeine in a pop doesn't compare to coffee. I wouldn't stress about it too much unless it REALLY bothers you.

I have been having one brought coffee a day and definitely feeling guilty but still doing it. I have read you can have up to 3 depending on the strenght. As mine is a brought one I only have 1. In my first pregnancy I didn't have any as it just made me feel sick but this time I really want it. Also some times I drink a glass of coke but try to limit it due to having the coffee. I think it is OK as long as you don't over do it.
