[sweetpea]

Yeah my heart rate was really high and Im sure I saw a boy nub yesterday! The more I think about it the more I'm convinced. Caved and booked a gender scan for Monday (the one I was talking about with DR Penman who does gender guesses based on nub). I'm nervous but would rather know for sure so I can get over it!

I will know in 3 days..... Scary scary ay girls.

How exciting! I know the nervous feeling, believe me. I'm you hear pink on Monday! Good luck to you!!

Awww, thanks girls for all the congrats and sweet messages. You are all so wonderful, and I'm so happy to be able to celebrate with you awesome group of ladies. I pray with all my heart that we have a lucky and blessed group who all get their DG's!

EmmyRoo, CONGRATS on the BFP!! And welcome to the group, we're so glad to have you here!

Dreamingpink, I wouldn't worry one bit about heart rate indicating gender. I think it's just an OWT. I've heard of many women who this theory has been correct for, and just as many who it HASN'T. And FWIW, my babies' heart rates were both very high from the beginning (179 and 164, or something like that), and as they've grown, they've gotten a bit lower AND have kind of stabilized at around the same rate (160). Don't worry yourself over anything that's not proven. I'm still hoping and praying you've got a healthy pink bean in there!

Sweetpea - what are you thinking for names????

Sweetpea - what are you thinking for names????

Ha, I just said to my hubby last night, "Now we can start talking names!"

I like really girly names (probably because I'm so used to picking boy names ). I also, for some reason, am gravitating towards names that end in "a" or "ana" but I don't know why, I guess I just really like them. So, I've been thinking about: Eliana, Gianna (DS1 was going to be Gianna if he was a girl), Ava, Amelia, Julianna, Annalise (or perhaps spelled Annelise, or Annaliese), Liliana (or Lilliana), Claire, and Sophia. It's SO hard for me though, because I'm such a girly girl and I love so many girl names...but, I only get one shot at it because we're done having kids after these two...so I need to pick my absolute favorite girl name, and make it really count, kwim? I have a feeling I'm going to be wavering on this name for awhile.

For boy names, DH and I both really love Logan. DS2 was almost Logan. That's probably our favorite boy name right now. But I also like: Noah, Owen, Elijah, Joshua, Joel, Nicholas, Jeremiah, and Zachary.

This is fun! What are the names you are all thinking about?

So sorry to hear about your back, MrsP. What is it exactly that you're suffering from? I had very bad sciatic nerve pain with both of my pregnancies, and I'm expecting the same again this time around. Is it sciatica that you suffer from?

I have no idea what it actually is, its something i had with both ds2 and ds3. I fell down the stairs years ago (pre kids) and did some pretty nasty damage to my back. It was fine for years then being pregnant really irritated it. It started just before birth with ds2, about 18 weeks with ds3 but never really want away after that pregnancy. When its bad i can't move my legs in certain ways and i have a walk that could rival that bloke out of the usual suspects (my husband loves that film, but the bit a end where kevin spacey walks out of the police station really really limping, then stops and staightens up part way down the road - just like, looks really silly) Nothing too bad though its mostly just inconvenient as opposed to painful but looks like it maybe starting early this time.

I thought girls were more accurate around 20 weeks? isn't 12 weeks super early to tell? guess i need to read up on this nub thing lol

Yes I heard this too, I actually had a scan booked for yesterday, but we had to cancel because DH couldn't get away from work. But in the end I am partially happy about it because apparently the difference in accuracy in an early early scan and an 18-20 week scan is substantial! So I am waiting the month, feels like forever though
