Well today is scan day...im nervous but also so excited i could pee i get to see my bean. I been up since 5am this morning but that is partly DH fault as he was up for work, but he wont get up on first alarm he has to snooze it about 4 times...then i cant get back to sleep MEN!!!!

About 6 1/2 hours till i see him/her, i just hope baby is healthy and would be over the moon if tech will try and get a nub shot for me. Then i will be nubsessing/skullsessing till i get a gender scan

Right im off to get boys up and ready for school, check in with you lovely ladies soon x

Good luck at your scan!! Hope you get a good nub shot!

I hate snooze alarms!

TTC5, I hope things are okay! It seems so unfair that you have had so many issues this pregnancy.

Peony, yes I had the same issue. What disturbed me the most about the baby being a boy was my family's reactions. I am too sappy about them, and I don't know why I care so much as I do, but what they think/do about me def. has an impact. I felt like a boy 3 would not be celebrated at all, and I was very protective of the baby, and found myself thinking if it was a boy how I would protect him. Towards it getting close to the gender scan though, I was really sure the baby was going to be a girl. The girl news has been recieved well by my mom, dad and brother. Others had had a funny reaction incld. my two older sisters who I blelieve now the one may have skipped DS2's party for that reason. But I don't know and I'm not gonna worry about it. It was their loss they didn't wnat to see DS2 enjoy his party!

The party went well, it was quieter than most parties because my sisters didn't bring their total of 9 kids, but DS1 had fun with the cousins that did show up, I got to see my cousin Jen who battled breast cancer last year (she was too tired to come to DS1's party in Oct...obviously she was battling cancer!) it was so great seeing her, she had also wanted a girl so bad and has only 1 son and she asked me if I bought anything girl yet, so I showed her, and I can tell how badly she had wnated to experience that, but she gave me a big hug and told me she was happy for me, and I almost cried because she is such a sincere, geninue awesome woman...she has been thru hell and back, and that the fact that she can be so gracious and giving.....words cannot express.....

The best part of the party was seeing DS1 dive and gobble into his choc cake...lol he made such a huge mess but have never seen my troublemaker smile so much...he loved it...it was priceless! I took lots of pics!

HappyLea, can't wait to see a nub shot! Hope bean is growing good!

Mocha, love the picture! You have such a tiny cute round bump!

TTC5, what is placenta lakes? Are you and your bubba OK?

Welcome DreamingofXX!

Im back ladies and baby is all ok even tho he/she was awkward and was laid upside down through the whole scan, tech tried to flip it and well he/she must have been comfortable and wouldnt budge. So unfortunatly no nub can be seen on pic. I will get it uploaded asap to see if i can get some skull theory guesses.

But they have now changed my dates and say i am 12+6 but i know im 11+5 Dont girls measure smaller? guess its boy #4 if thats the case.

I didnt get to see much of scan at all as i was tipped with my head nearly to floor with feet in air, but mum and auntie saw it all and they are convinced its a girl, said when she was at bottom end they saw nothing, just a round bum. I told them its too early and they wouldnt see anything but they were both convinced Hope they are right.

Now to work on getting this pic uploaded for some guesses. Im so happy all was ok as i was so worried.

Can't wait to see the pics and glad to hear the scan went well!! It will still be fun to guess on skull shape!

that your mum and aunt had a good vibe and good feeling! Hope this is your girl!

Oh and btw at my scan, I was measuring 19+2 though I was only 18+5, they are keeping my dates the same, so I don't think that matters boy/girl to be honest with you. There are some big girls born too!

I have posted my pic in the ultrasound gender prediction section, all guesses welcome

Wow way to much to catch up on... I had problems signing in so I spent a week cleaning!

I have an OB check up today at 4pm and then next monday a gender scan. I am so nervous I get hot flashes just thinking about it. Having a good and bad week.

A friend who tried swaying for a girl (followed the wrong research and ate all acidic food and a big boy diet but took cranberry) she just found out she is having a 2nd boy. She is very upset because her DH has already gotten fixed and says no kids. I just really keep questioning everything because who knows if I did enough.

DH was offered a job in Nevada and it is a good job with no chance of being affected by budget cuts. We are very happy about being close to his parents but DH is waiting to hear about another job in AZ that is the samething he does now and pays more. But if he doesn't hear about the AZ job we are going to move to NV in about 2-3wks. We have been talking about a house with a pool. I started packing and donating stuff last week so we will be ready when the movers show up.

And also last night I finally had a dream but it was the worst dream in the world about DS1... We were staying in some hotel that had a big pool type tub in the bathroom and the hotel required that it be kept full. While I was sleeping in a bed with DS2 and a baby I heard splashing so I went into the bathroom and saw DH on the toilet while DS1 was in the tub. I went back to bed thinking DH was going to watch him and take him out. I woke up suddenly from sleeping and went to the bathroom to check. I found DS1 face down in the water and pulled him out. As I went to lay him down on the floor he started to cough up water.... The dream felt so real it felt like I was really holding him. I was so scared that when I woke up I went to sleep with DS1. I think it will make me very over protective around water now. Maybe a 6ft face around a pool, high locks and alarms on outside doors and the gate, and a pool sensor in the water.

Wow, pp - that WAS a scary dream! I have dreams like that sometimes too, and I do the same thing - I immediately go to their room and cuddle up with them.

I know how you feel about waiting for that gender scan - impatient for it to come, and at the same time terrified for it to come because you're afraid of what you'll hear. FWIW, I really, truly think you've got a little girl in there.

[auroara78]

PP, that does sound like such a scary dream! I also think you will prob hear pink vs. blue at your scan. Don't worry; you know whoever is in your belly you will love more than anything. Just focus on that. That is what I tried to do the week before my scan, and it did help some.

I so hope for a girl. I like the idea of only having 3 kids and looking forward to the fun we will have as a family of 5. I need a girl to vote with me on the activity we are going to do as a family that week.
