3 Boys, that torture of not knowing is unacceptable. I really hope that you hear today and no news is good news. Thinking of you.

Ladybugs, it's a long time until we find out on July 18th isn't it, but it'll be upon us before we realise it. Will you tell people irl as soon as you know? I'm thinking pink for you!! Stay strong!

Nope....I will be keeping it secret until our Thanksgiving dinner!! Way in October....now you ask why? If it is our third son, I don't want the comments until he basically is in our arms, and if it is my girl, I want to bask in for a bit without all the comments being made in front of my boys about finally getting your girl. How about you? I think that this next week will be long because I work 2 of my days out of town and they drag...but then it will only be one more week once those are done!!

3 boys...what are you shopping for? When I was expecting my first and was team green, I was sent the most lovely onsies from a shop over there! They were striped with oranges, red, teals...missing a colour there too. I should find them and post a pic. They were some of my favourite clothes for my boy. Wish I could find striped shirts large enough like that now for my big boys!! Enough about the cute clothes....I hope that they ring you with news and that your day is quickly going by!!!

Happypixi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad you are here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was one determined pink swimmer!!! Congrats.....and wishing you the best 9 months a girl could want!

Mathilde....yay on a good scan for you!!!!! I am happy that it went well

Gecon....this week will fly by and you will get to guess on a nub!! How lovely!

Indeed determined, wonder if this is a trait that will continue?!

I'm staying team green/yellow/purple whatever lol too. I want to enjoy every second without thinking about the sex, I care, but not so much as I just want my baby and I defo don't want comments on its sex. Unavoidable but I will try to be unaffected by them.

Congrats Pixi! Welcome to the group

So now that I know I´m preggo for real, I´m beginning to freak out the good old fashioned way. As I´ve been down the extreme route, I do care all too much what it becomes, I´m ashamed to say that I don´t want a boy, and I know that I´m getting one. DH is quite fed up of me now, and says I have to "turn" around this time, but I´m affraid I can't. The thought of this everlasting desire hanging over me for the reest of my life is killing me. I know I will love the little guy, but he is not what I want. I want special, not what I already have, and I dont do them well anyways. Am going to have to look into adoption, which DH is not for, or tricking him into no 4 before he has time to get his "snipped"..Sorry about the ranting! I bet there will be more of it soon, if I cant by some magic get around to the thought..

Rant away!!! But I do think that there is going to be a rash of pink bundles and don't count yourself out!!! I know that I am lucky my hubby is letting me rant and rave at home....he is thinking enough pink for the two of us, just like last time.
How are you all planning on dealing or dealing with your GD? For some, I realize that a 3, 4, or 5th child could be in the works, but for those of you who know that is last little blessing is just that (ie. getting snipped, Essure, no adopting), what is the plan?

Mathilde, congrats on your scan. So glad to hear that your LO is doing well. Sorry that you're not feeling brill with the GD. I know what you mean though and I haven't been through HT like you have! You've had a heck of a journey to get here and I admire your strength and tenacity greatly. I really hope that you do hear pink. Do you know when you'll find out?

3boys, still no news?!!!! The NHS ought to be ashamed, I really hope that you have some news tomorrow. Waiting 'til Friday to see your MW is just too long. How are you holding up? Did you manage to take your mind off it all when shopping with your Mum earlier. Hope you've had a good day.

Ladybugs, I completely understand how you feel about revealing the gender. I don't want to tell people straight away either. Only my parents & sister know the date of my scan. What will you say if you're asked directly? How will you explain to people at Thanksgiving that you found out earlier, or will you pretend that you only just found out? Aargh, I want to enjoy this baby and just about cope with my GD inside my own head until I get stupid comments from stupid people. I'm not sure how to handle the 20 week scan and (hopefully) knowledge of the gender. So far when asked 'surely you want a girl this time' I've just replied that 'as long as it doesn't have to spend the first six weeks of it's life in the NICU like DS1, then I don't care'. It shuts them up, but whether they believe me is another matter! It's true though, I never want that experience again. I desperately want a girl though. I'm not sure if it was on this thread or the other but someone (sorry I can't remember who!) mentioned the strange dichotomy of believing it's a girl but totally knowing it's a boy too. I can second that, it's a weird feeling but I can't cope with the not-knowing but then again I don't want to destroy my dream this time around either. Urgh

How's everyone else doing?

Pixi, I know I commented on your other thread but congrats again and welcome to this thread!
