September 2013 babies!!

[Mum to three girls]

We've just been to a party - not hosted or anything - and I'm exhausted. I suppose we're all quiet cos this is the "boring" part. No sickness/misery of the first trimester and no massive discomfort plus excitement of the third.

Maybe we should have another round of bump pics?

I think we should have a round of bump pics. I also think it quiets down on the weekends. For me, weekends are super busy and the only real time we get with DH so I am rarely on the computer. I am only on right now because I came home early from church because I couldn't sit, my hips were killing me. So now I am home alone.............NICE AND QUIET!!
So ladies I'm sure my disbelief is annoying, but after the roller coaster ride I was on please indulge me. I am terrified that this isn't really a girl and on my next scan we will see a penis. I have a friend whose boy shot had 3 lines too, so I don't really know what makes it all that different from mine. My 3 boys all had an obvious penis, but her little guy didn't, I'm worried mine might be like that. Can anyone shed any light on the difference between this one and mine??

Here is her 20 week boy scanboyshot.jpg

and my 21 week scans

i'm not great with these things yours is deffinalty a girl, i would have guessed her;s was too but i am bad with this things!

[Wanting-a-girl]

Has she had her baby yet? Urs is not going to be a penis don't worry u can go girl crazy now lol

[WantingPink]

Not sure... you might want to run this one by lovemy4 and see what she says. I would have guessed girl for your friend. The only thing maybe is that you don't see the femur bones with your friends which sometimes can mean you are not looking at the right view/angle/plane. I would be curious as to what lovemy4 says. Would like to know if your friend's baby is born yet and if everything looked "normal".

This is what I have been doing for the last couple of days. This cake was crazy but the little girl I made if for loved it.

Thorz was your friend told boy or girl during the ultra sound? There is a lot going on down there and there is a lot of space between the back of the bottom and the three lines, whereas your daughter (and yes she is a girl) her bits look like they are in the right place. There are also two sets of arrows on the boy shot and a lot of shadowing going on and it looks like there maybe a bit of the cord mixed in down there - but you could always post in the u/s forum. Pics are great BUT they are spilt second image, the tech will have seen your little girl from lots of angles during the scan to make that call, my boys were the same as yours - obvious at that stage!

OMG wantingpink, that is an amazing cake, good....no, EXCELLENT JOB!!! you have talent girl!!

She had her little guy already and she was told boy during this scan, and he looks normal down there lol!! I posted the question on ingender and haven't gotten any responses

[WantingPink]

So she was told boy during the scan? I am sure this is just a weird shot then. The u/s tech probably saw something more convincing than this to say boy.

Thorz I totally know where you are coming from... being in disbelief. There are only boys on my side and DH side of the family. DH hasn't had a girl in his family since his Grandfather (so my kids great-grandfather) so everyone is in a little disbelief right now. It took me a DNA test and three scans before I actually started to belief and buy girl things. I even have bought purple paint for the nursery. I can totally understand where you are coming from being told boy and then girl. Your girl shots are from several different angles and like you said, your boys (and mine too) were very obvious boys at 20 weeks. You deserve to be able to relax and start planning for a girl!! You could always call up the place you got the 15 week scan from and go in for another scan. I know it probably feels too good to be true

Thorz, I know how you are feeling. I feel the same often too. Like its too good to be true and you don't want to allow yourself to get your hopes up! I have to keep looking at my pics and trying to imagine if they've made a mistake!! I too got 6 views of the genital area. So I do believe if something was poking out you would of seen it! I don't have my boys scans to compare as I never found out what they were. I'm anxious to go back at 32 wks for my next scan and just have it all super super confirmed.
