September 2013 babies!!

[WantingPink]

I haven't been active on this thread, but I want to change that! Hello everyone!! I don't think I ever gave an introduction. My name is Lauren and I have 2 boys. Surprise baby #3 is due September 16th. I suffered gd pretty bad with DS2. I was hesitant to even have another child because of all those feelings but here I am. It took months to conceive my boys (DS1 I wasn't really trying b/c I was only 18 but we definitely were throwing caution to the wind often, lol). I was shocked that one oopsie resulted in this pregnancy- I know it only takes one time, just not usually for me. My 8 year old insists this baby is a girl. He was right with his brother so I'm hoping he's right again. Lately though I've been having a boy feeling. I paid to get an early u/s with DS2. This time I don't really want to know.. I do but I don't, if you kwim. I think what makes it a little harder this time is my DH has a preference. He wants a little girl. I didn't even know this until he was looking at the Ramzi theory and obsessing over my u/s pic. I really hope we aren't all disappointed. Anyway, just wanted to hop on here and share my feelings. It feels good to talk to others who can relate.

Hi and welcome!! I just wanted to give you a little hope. I too had a one time "oops" PG with this baby and after two boys it is definitely looking like this little one is a girl so it can happen!! I too NEVER allowed myself to think of this baby as a girl. I didn't even think about girl names. We had a boy name all picked out that I was quite happy with and then... girl!! GL and I hope you get your girl!!

So did you get your scan rescheduled? Hoping you got it for closer to 12-13 weeks. You need to get better at telling the white lies to get what you want I know that sounds awful however, when it comes to getting the US scan I will exaggerate certain things to get one You know that no matter what anyone else gets on this thread it doesn't increase or decrease your changes for a DD. Hang in there... I know the waiting is awful. You should look into some private scan places that will do a gender determination at 15 weeks It will give you something to look forward to and it will make your 20 week scan more enjoyable Hope you have a better day!

I just haven't scheduled the ultrasound yet, I'm gonna delay it as long as I can, I'm worried if I call to reschedule they will try to pressure me into going in earlier, so I'm just not going to call for at least 2 weeks. I'm terrible at the white lies so I just avoid situations that require them.... Lol! We cannot afford the 15week private scan. I think as soon as the weather gets nicer, and my 1st trimester is over (ugh all the morning sickness,laziness/exhaustion, and headaches that I've had during the 1st trimester) then my 2nd trimester will be nice and 20 weeks will come before we know it! My mom is coming to stay with us from may until the baby comes in sept!!! I'm so excited to see her and have her here! I haven't seen her in over a year! My boys are elated to see their Gammy soon!

I would just say you need to schedule for that week cause of work schedules/ baby sitter issues... They can't force you to go earlier if you "can't"

Lol I lost a lot of weight on the LE diet, so much that my BMI got down to 16.6 I think and my ovulation started being delayed, that's why I stopped the calorie counting part of the. LE diet, and I snacked, I gained a few lbs back, that's why I think this might be a boy.

I can never seem to keep up with you ladies but have tried to check in and get up to date.

Welcome to the new ladies, the more the merrier!!!

So exciting that we have several ladies finding out soon (and one already confirmed!). I'm leaning more and more to getting a potty/nub shot at my ultrasound next week. I know the 14th week can be tricky but I may take my chances. On the other hand I may chicken out and stay team green.

Thorz, you look so cute! My belly is beyond huge and has been for quite some time. I too lost a lot of weight in the months before getting pregnant (was 89 lbs when I got my bfp) but am more than making up for it now that I've got my appetite back!

So I went to my 14-week appointment this afternoon and my OB talked to me about the small amount of tricuspid regurgitation they found on the baby's heart. She said that even though my Down Syndrome risk came back at 1:5100, if I wanted to, we could also do the MaterniT21 for more peace of mind (which I'm all for it since we had a little big of a scare with DS1). So they are checking with my insurance now (Tricare) and if it's covered, I'll go ahead and do it! This also means that I could possibly find out the gender with certainty within the next 7-10 days. I would cancel my private scan at 16 weeks (10 days from today and save $100.
