Ultrasound woes. Ugh!

[Lilac♥]

Thanks 8lilpigs for talking to me this whole time. It really has made me feel better!

I'm even thinking more about girl names than I ever have before.

Which does everyone like best out of these?
Laney Claire
Laney Quin
Laney Sophia
Laney Mae
Lorelei Claire
Lorelei Quin
Lorelei Glory
Lorelei Jayne
Lorelei Lou
Lorelei Mae

Quin is because it means Fifth. And for some reason I really like Lou, like we could call her Lora Lou for a nickname. Is that too cheesy, I think it's cute. Claire is because of a dream I had once that I had a daughter and named her Claire. Glory is because she is due around Independence Day. Mae would be after parts of both my grandmas' names. Sophia was my great great grandma. Jayne is just a name I've always liked.

I'm up for other suggestions for first and middle names.

I'd go Lorelei Mae as may last little lady is called Maemay and she's a pickle lol!!

Heading off now, goodnight Lilac, hope everything is brighter in the morning for you xxxx

I like them both- Laney and Lorelei. I think Lorelei sound very southern, or maybe it's just my accent lol!

I LOVE using family names...gives a solid reason when people ask why you named them and at school my kids have all had to tell the class about their names and I like when there is a family connection. Quinn is cool.

Lydia Mae is pretty.

Feeling really sad right now. I talked to my DH about finding out for sure, he wanted me to find out what our options are. I called the place that did my scan and they aren't in the office again until the 28th, since they only are there on Mondays and next Monday is a holiday. All the places I can find that you can pay for are 1 1/2 hours away and the lowest they charge is around $60. I would just go for that, and use the drive as an excuse to look at cribs like we had planned on. But I don't know if my DH will go for it. Someone suggested asking around locally if someone would just let me pay a small amount to have a quick look to find out. I thought I would call my doctor's office, explain the situation, and ask what they suggest, but now I'm too upset and know I'll start crying on the phone. I feel really dumb and don't want to tell them what happened. Is it worth the time and money to just take the easy way and go to a private scan place? Right now it is to me, but I know I'm not thinking rationally.

My girls are driving me crazy today too. My DD1 said she had a sore throat and didn't want to go to school. Now DD1 says she'll go to school now if my DD2 goes (this is what time DD2 usually goes) but now DD2 is saying she doesn't want to go and for no reason. So now they are all home and whining and being brats. And my DD4 who is 2 is throwing a fit and I don't know why. She's already been really clinging and annoying this week. She keeps having nightmares so I can't get a good nights sleep. And now they are all starting to fight and argue with each other. And I'm so upset I can't deal with any of it right now. Why can't they just leave me alone? How come if I'm in a bad mood they have to be too? Ugh!

I would pay to have the private gender scan. They will focus solely on the gender and it will put your mind at ease, one way or the other.

I'm so sorry you are hurting right now. I hate the envelope thing.
The nub and scull pics can go both ways IMO and since both you and your DH saw something to make you think boy I would get another scan before loosing all hope.

He or she sure has a cute profile!

Well we went and got a private scan. The first ultrasound tech was right, definitely a girl. I kind of feel in retrospect that we wasted our time driving all the way down and it wasn't worth the $60, but it's good to know for sure. So yeah. But a huge snowstorm hit right when we were leaving. So it took us twice as long to get home. And my husband had to turn around to head for work as soon as we got here and he is now going half way back the way we came from. So I feel awful about that, now he's driving in the awful storm and I hate it! And he only got like 5 hours sleep at the most, because of the girls not going to school and being so loud and us not getting home in time for him to nap. :-( I'll post some pictures we got in a little bit.

Oh and I just wanted to mention that I'm not really that upset tonight. Not sure why. Maybe it'll hit me again later or tomorrow. Or maybe I'm over it? I just keep thinking about all those miscarriages and unsuccessful TTC months I had while swaying for a boy. Part of me is sad to give up, but another part of me knows I can't do this again since High Tech isn't an option.

Well, I am glad you got confirmation and can move forward. I can't wait to see which name you go with!
