Charlie- gutted for you. I really thought this was it for you, it is totally not fair....I know he'll be wonderful but it is NOT fair. Why couldn't one of the girlie swimmers have made it? what difference would it have made in the universe? (that's what I'm wondering for me. Felt pretty gutted today). GD is crap and it is not fair that so many of us have to go through it. Hope you feel better soon hon, thinking of you and we are here for eachother thank goodness. Loads of love (((hugs))

Did you go to Yately?! That's where I went yesterday and had the same lady who seemed dopey!! She was looking between the legs and saying so you want to know gender, I said Im sure its too early but yes please, then at the end she said come back for another free one as its a gender scan (16 weeks plus) and I was like no Im almost 13 weeks, early pregnancy scan! Then she said no wonder I couldnt see. I said to her I wanted a nub shot,angle of the dangle .......... I think I will stick with Future Babies in Reading next time, double the price but so much more clued up!

Yes it is the one you told me about, were you there yesterday? thursday? that would have been weird!! yes, she didn't seem to have much of a clue which is a shame as I had totally built myself up and it was a long drive.
I asked for a 'potty shot' and she didn't seem to know what I was talking about and said it wasn't possible to get a different angle.
When is your next scan?
I'm toying with the idea of a 'proper' sexing scan but don't really want to waste £100 to be confirmed boy, that'd be too depressing.

I knew I recommended it to someone, wish I hadn't of now. Surely she must be trained, maybe not!! Maybe she wants us to pay to go back, don't think ill go there again and know what u mean about paying and being dissapointed, ill go at 26 weeks to bond and get an idea of what he looks like x

Just popped on to catch up on the news. Charlie, I'm so surprised, thought for sure that you were carrying pink. Hope you're ok and the news hasn't hit you too hard. He was clearly meant to be x

I've had some devastating news today. My friend who had a dd (2nd child) just before xmas has been told that she is terminal and will only live for a matter of weeks. Cannot even begin to imagine how she is feeling. The condition is genetic so she is also worried about her DS. Life can be so, so cruel sometimes and it just puts everything in to perspective and I'm thanking God for my 2 healthy boys and praying the one I'm carrying is well too x

Maybepink, that is awful news, really does put things into perspective doesnt it! Ive said to myself before that why worry about not having a daughter that would visit when elderly, when who knows, I may not even make it to that age you know?! Its my worst nightmare leaving my young boys in this world without me, the best best best thing about having a family of 3+ is I think they will be closer and look after each other more even if at the other side of the world. So I always have a small comfort that if I were to be in an accident etc. at least I hope they would all take comfort in each other. Such sad news


Charlie, about the 'no pink' I suddenly thought to myself a few weeks back that just because I dont have a daughter to buy pink for, doesnt mean I cant do girly things myself like get a facial, buy pretty notebooks, paint my bedroom pink lol, OH wouldnt have a say ha ha! I know its just a little thing but it did help me realise that I can still have pink in my life in little ways.

And our boys are going to raised to never let a week go by without visiting or calling me lol. I think all of our boys are going to grow up into really good men because we are aware of putting in that extra effort after experiencing gd regardless of if we ever do get a girl in the end or not.



Anyway, really hope your OH just understands, sure he will xx

mabey pink, i know life can be so cruel sometimes and we forget how lucky we are with our boys being so healthy and we are wishing for something which is so insignificant! i found out last year that dp's cousin had just found out her son had a rare genetic disease (muscular dystrophy) a group of inherited disorders that involve muscle weakness and loss of muscle tissue, which gets worse over time. they expect him to be in a wheel chair in the next 5 or so years and wont live after his teenage years. He's in the same class as ds1 and i always thought that there was something rather different with him than other children as he's badly behaved and carnt really walk properly etc. She only took him to the doctors as he had a rash so they did some tests to find out if he had an allergy and found out this devastating news.

we were quite worried as it is genetic and maby somehow our children could be affected but she's not my dp direct cousin, shes my dp's mams cousin so very far down the family line. just puts things into perspective for us as our problems dont seem like anything at all wiyh my ds1 being polydactyle. absolutely nothing compared to what she must be going through. Its her only child and i dont think she will be having any more as she isnt in a relationship with any one. just so sad.

thinking about things like this really make me relise what i do have and why i should be grateful about my healthy boys!
