Well you never know, could be boy so lets wait & see. When do you go for the scan? According to Ramziz & where you say your baby is then Ramziz says girl but who knows

[SpicyTunaSushi]

Sorry- no, according to Ramzi, it is boy. I may be getting it mixed up because it was at 6 weeks, but whatever it was, it was boy.

[babydes56]

Oh ok i get you now, yes that's boy then

[SpicyTunaSushi]

Babydes- how many dds do you have? I don't remember your family makeup..

[babydes56]

This will be my 3rd one. When did you say you go for your 20wk scan?

[SpicyTunaSushi]

So, you have been confirmed DD? Mine is in mid November.

Baby, what you said about living without a son and there's nothing you can do about it so why stress ... that's a pretty great, logical attitude. I mean, you're totally right, it's not like all the wishing in the world can change it at this point so what's the point in obsessing. In general I'm not really sad about it anymore, but also I don't really see anything great about having a third girl.... I am excited to have a third child, though. So it'll all work out in time. Part of me still just can't believe this is for real! All the months of prep and hope and now it's over, and it's a girl.

With Ramzi it isn't where the baby is, it's where the placenta is developing ... they can be the same place but often aren't. Your placenta is typically the brightest white part wrapping around the uterus in the image. In mine my baby was tucked right smack in the bottom center but my placenta was on my right (left in screen/pic) and my doc confirmed that ... so for me, definitely not correct. And I *think* 3P1B said hers was on her left, which should have been girl, but obviously she's got pictures to prove it's a boy So I don't believe in Ramzi at all!

How're the rest of our blue crew? ELP finds out for sure on the 25th I think. Foxy when do you find out? I have my anatomy scan on the 24th, we'll see if the baby grew a penis in the last 5 weeks We aren't finding out though; I don't want to have to tell people it's another girl without a precious baby in my arms. My good friends will be awesome about it but there are plenty of acquaintances who will say things that are unintentionally hurtful, I'm sure. I feel like an all boy family is much more socially acceptable than all girls

[SpicyTunaSushi]

Yes- for me placenta and fetus were the same at 6 weeks, obviously. And Begonia, I think most people in America would prefer all girls than all boys. Trust me on this one. Apparently, there is an article about 2 girls being the ideal setting. Google it!

I saw the 2 girls article! I liked it I posted a thread on here asking people what they like about being part of or raising a large family and that has helped me to read too ... I wanted three kids for reasons other than gender and I have to keep reminding myself that it is going to be absolutely magical (and absolutely crazy frustrating at times!) and reading other people's stories helps.

Last night DH and I were talking about all of this again, the maybe it's another girl thing, and he's OK with the fact that I still will probably want a son... and OK with the fact that means we might have 4 kids, even if he never ever saw our family with 4. We're just going to take it month by month when the new one arrives and see how 3 feels; in my most honest heart of hearts, I genuinely hope we feel complete with the 3 little ladies. But it's nice to know that if I still feel like we're missing a son, DH will be supportive of trying to make that happen somehow. Sometimes I can't believe how lucky I am to have married someone who's so darn nice to me

Spicy I can't help it but I'm still holding out hope for you. I think you're smart to go ahead and have started believing it's girl #2, but still ... until your scan in mid-November, I'm keeping my FX you hear blue. 2 girls is fab though and I still think it would be great to have them back-to-back, but I'd love for you to go ahead and have a DS now so you don't feel as much pressure going for a DS next. FX!

Well- right now I am babysitting my friends 10 week girl, and she is a doll. Love her, so happy to imagine this as our family. But my toddler is going nuts- she had a very crappy shortened nap (Dad of baby woke her up when coming in) so I am trying to cope without just giving into her candy and tv wants. We are currently watching a short clip. Baby is sleeping- so I don't have anexcuse except that she will try to go wake the baby in the other room. I think her behaviour is part toddler part crap nap part new baby in the house.

I am not holding out for boy- I saw the nub, but if the nub theory is ever not as reliable as they say it is (94%) then maybe I will have hope. Anyone want to tell me that?
