October 2013 babies!

[Navywife620]

Anyone else having good days and bad days? Days when you think you can handle hearing that you are having the opposite from your GD, days when you are fully expecting to hear you haven't got your girl/boy this time? And then day when every little thing gives you hope even when you know that your not getting what you want, and you feel that desire so badly? I just want to know now. Today is a bad day after a few good ones. My morning sickness, which was worse than I have ever experienced and never completely went away, just died down to nausea, has returned. And even though I know it means nothing and is just an old wives tale, and even though I know my baby has an extremely boyish nub, I can't help but hope. I'm sure all the differences in this pregnancy are just my body tricking me.

I definitely have my good days and bad days. I have my days where I am very optimistic and am I this is my girl! then I have days where I am like no way you are kidding yourself it's probably another boy. Today is actually a good day. Had another girl dream last night so of course I wake up feeling happy and excited. I pray a lot and we prayed a lot to give us a healthy baby girl, I know I just need to put my trust and faith in God that he will give us one. That is why I have those bible verses in signature.

I have my scan on the 7th of May! 1 week tomorrow!
The only one I found after pregnancy they want to know the month you conceived and your age at conception. Who else thinks they simply look at the chinese gender predictor chart LMAO

I will tell you girls after my scan but I wont be telling anyone else. If its a boy I will want those weeks to get used to the idea. If its a girl I will probably not believe it and want to wait to have it confirmed at 20 weeks LOL

I have decided that either way I'm going to put on a brave face and do a gender reveal picture.
I will lay out one each of DS1,2 & 3s T-shirts, just slightly over lapping so you can see size difference with the biggest at the back, then lay a baby vest or t-shirt or something with them and take a pic.
Hopefully even with a boy that will give the appearance of being really happy and excited about another boy. Hopefully by that point I'll have got used to the idea anyway and wont be so upset anyway.

I can't help feeling the more I want a girl the less likely I am to get one.
I had a dream last night in which the baby was going mad in my belly and even in that I forced myself to think of the baby as my baby boy as if I was awake.
Only had 1 dream of a girl so far. I was hoping for loads of boy dreams as I always end up having the opposite of what I dream LOL

Good luck Katie!!! How far along will you be on Wednesday?
I am crazy. curious.
I also booked my "early" scan at 16 weeks, 6 days!!!!
I feel that I just need to know and get it over with and then move on with life.

I feel that the sooner I know, the better it will be for me.
If it's a boy, then at least I will be prepared to hear the words and be much more calm about the 20 week u/s that I am going to go to with my husband.

I know that my relatives and friends will be bothering me right after the 20 week u/s! They'll all ask about the gender!
If it's a boy, I will have a few weeks before the 20 week u/s to deal with the news, then I know that I'll be able to handle it much better since time heals.

I know many of you might disagree with me, but no matter what I find out, I won't tell my husband that I'm going to the early u/s. He doesn't need to know and I don't feel guilty in not telling him as it won't harm him in any way if he does not know. My husband does not care about the sex of the baby at all and if it was up to him, he would be just as happy to find out at birth.
From a practical standpoint, it ultimately should not matter to anyone either, as a healthy baby is what is most important in life, but I can't help being curious and I would feel better prepared if I heard boy earlier than my 20 week scan. I just know that I'll be bombarded with texts and phone calls after my 20 week u/s with questions from family/friends, "Is it a boy or a girl?" THE PRESSURE!!!!

I'll be 16 weeks, 4 days along on Wednesday... though at my last ultrasound I was measuring a couple days ahead of my due date. I think maybe 3 days?? It wasn't enough for them to change my due date or anything.

Although I got an us at just 16 weeks DH is not convinenced its a girl...I think he's in denial...they only printed me out a 3d pic of the babys profile yup for $50 I got maybe a 10 min us and one pic....anyway, he swears he sees testicles I think he's crazy so I'm going to wait until my 20 wk from the dr to tell everyone

[motherofboys]

1 week today till my scan! This time next week it will all be over and I'll know. I am soooooo ready to know! Boy or girl I just want this bit over with so I can get used to the idea and start bonding with my baby, I feel like its not real atm.

[xokatietatie]

At this time tomorrow morning I will be in my car and on the way to my ultrasound. I'm starting to feel sick over it!!! Darn these nerves getting the best of me.

LOL Motherofboys: It's better to spend the money on an early gender scan than psychic readings ; P Nachelle and I had a bunch done after pregnancy and it does add up! Are you getting an early gender scan done as well?

By the way, Nachelle, I think that you're very brave to want to wait until birth!!!

Im just going to wait till my 20 week scan and put it in an envelope and go from there. Ill open it right away though! lol

[Nachelle]

Good luck Katie!!! FIngers crossed!
