Ash-love your pic! You look great! Pretty hair I've been trying to do weekly pics, but doesn't show much so far. Think I'm just bloated! I totally agree about granddaughters not being the same! I'm so close with my mom. I'd love to have the same mother/daughter relationship!
Kat-love hearing that dd2 was an O-1 attempt!!
Pbn-very tempting indeed!!! Eek, you made it through your last appt without looking! Maybe your OB could cut out the gender results section if that's possible??

Thanks ladies mommy I sure don't feel pretty most days 🤣 just had a good non bloated morning plus had to get ready for our cookout soooo I actually got dressed! And Lola I've never been really close to my mom or dad for that matter but I'd love to have a girl to get to experience that closeness and have a shopping buddy

Pbn & Dancing-beautiful names!
Dancing-DS1's middle name is Scott after DH!
Our girl name has always been Sophia for years! I think I mentioned this over in the 2WW group, but DH's brother & wife are expecting their first baby any day now & stealing our name ugh & we have the same last name!!!! We still plan on stealing it back though We may need some ideas on boy names though! It will be another "S" name and right now we're agreeing on Samson (Sam).

Lolabelle Sophia is such a pretty name do dh's brother and his wife know that Sophia is the name you have picked for a girl? if they do thats abit sly of them to use it like that i think.. love that your just gonna use it anyway though will they mind that? not that it should stop you! just in some families these things can get quite nasty!!

Happy 4th July to everyone in the US hope your all having a fab day!!

Pbn such a cute baby

ash you look fab!! your hair is gorgeous, mine has gone horrid this time xx

4blue2pink-so I don't think it was intentional for them to steal our name, but not certain. She is newer to the family & may not have known, but everyone else knew each time we had a boy, that Sophia was our girl name. We were team green for DS2 and I believe that's when they started dating. Everyone knew that we were either having a Sawyer or Sophia. Surely DH's brother remembered this even if his wife didn't? Maybe they figured it didn't matter since we have boys, but it's the ONE name I've loved before it became popular! When DH proposed to me, he said "one day, we'll have lots of Sophia's" and I've been waiting on my Sophia ever since. For years we've always referred to her "you know when we have our Sophia, we'll have to get another car." Things like that. I hate that we're the ones that will look like the "bad guys" stealing "their" name, but in all reality, they stole "our" name & I could be furious. I'm not a malicious person at all & def non-confrontational, but we will just take back what we consider ours & if anyone doesnt like it, so be it [emoji12] They live 10 hours away & we see them maybe once a year. No one in our local circle has the name, so it would really just be DH's family that may have a problem with it. They obviously don't know how much I care about names-most of them didn't come up with names until their babies were born. DH is really adamant about our name too & told his mom a while back that we still planned on using it. She said "you know there are some other very nice names" lol. Good thing they all know that he is stubborn & there's no arguing with him [emoji12] sorry to go off on a tangent-the situation gets me worked up. Who knows...I may never get to use the name and it may be irrelevent, but I would be sad [emoji20]

Lola I totally get it and it would tick me off to. I've always said Estelle with our last two and my aunt says ohhh then you could call her Stella... for one I would never do that because I like Estelle if I wasted to call her Stella I would have her Stella ok so a year later she gets a dog and names it Stella then just Father's Day she says oh I'm sorry I used your name for my dog... uhh well you didn't because mine is Estelle and will be called Estelle [emoji849] people are just annoying lol but I'll know soon enough 18 days!

i totally get it Lolabelle, that would really annoy me and given that you have told your family about the name it does seem very unfair on you and your dh but if they live 10 hours away at least you arent all in the same area and you can just get on without drama.
the proposal story is gorgeous its so lovely how her name has always been Sophia and that you have been waiting not just for your baby girl but for your sophia its more than a name for you guys and no one can steal that from you, i truly hope she is on her way to you now

ash Estelle is gorgeous why does she think you would want to shorten it??

baby girl names have proved a nightmare for us, #5 was 2 days old before she was named and #6 was 5 weeks old!! argh!! all the boys were named before they were born except ds2 who was named within an hour.. girls names just seem to cause us major difficulties!! xx

Hello everyone,
First I will tell you that I already have 4 boys and 1 girl (from a successful sway in 2014). We thought we were done having kids but found out in May that we are expecting another, due January 23, 2018. I wonder what your thoughts are on my chances of this being a girl? I didn't particularly sway but wasn't eating breakfast, only one meal a day and did the deed 1 time not sure when ovulation was. That month was so busy and stressful we didn't have time really. Anyway, sorry if this is TMI but this was also a pull out whoops baby. Also my hcg was very high at 8 weeks, actually 179,000. But have had ultrasounds only one in there.I have had severe morning sickness and zits galore. Never had these with my son's but did with my daughter. Also had light morning sickness with my sons and severe sickness with my daughter. I am really hoping to give my daughter a sister, but would love a boy as well. Just want a healthy baby. I heard high hcg can mean girl? Anyway, just wondering what your thoughts are on my chances of this being a girl? Thanks and hope everyone has a wonderful 4th!!
