utterly desperate...12 week pic guesses.

[lyssathecrunch]

Hello,
My situation is slightly unique in that I did not want to get pregnant, and was actually on birth control when I found out I am pregnant (I had the IUD). So, it has taken me literally WEEKS to come around to the idea of having another baby when we were just fine with the one we have. But one of the main reasons i had been coming around to the idea of baby #2 is the idea of having a girl. We have a 2 yr old boy and I have always wanted a little girl, i think because I am a dancer and teach dance and imagine a little tutu wearing mini-me. lol. anyways. at my 12 week NT scan the tech told me she was 90% sure it was a boy based off the Potty Shot. She didn't mention anything about nub theory. Needless to say i'm devestated- until I started researching 12 week ultrasounds & I realize MAYBE she was wrong. hey, if i was in the 1% of women who get pregnant using bc, then why can't the percentages swing my way on this too??
please, anyone think this could be a girl? i realize the potty shot looks a bit boyish. arg.

Hi there, I think the same as your tech but going off the nub shot not the potty shot. Either way you could still have a little dancer in there who is meant to be. Good luck!

yeah i do too. Please dont be devastated, i felt the same about ds2 but truly you will love watching the little brothers together.

It looks like it's a boy. You will love having two boys. My boys are crazy about eachother and I'm one of those waaay to happy moms when I watch them together. You will be too, trust me.

It looks blue. FWIW, I do have a child that dances BUT at the recital, the boy that was part of Company was one of the most exciting to watch. We all look forward to when he took the stage. Boys can dance too. Brothers are awesome and I am sorry this one took you by surprise. This is just guessing though. You'll have to wait a few weeks to really know anything for sure.

thanks everyone for the super quick replies. lol, i love that i didn't even get one "well, maybe girl". i'm such a dork. anyways, thanks I appreciate it.


and nuthingbutpink, i love teaching boys to dance and plan on putting my son into classes soon. so much fun!

Potty shot looks boy-ish, but like you said, at 12 weeks, girls have very similar parts, so I think it could still be a girl. I find the nub looks girlish.

Lindsay,

you have given me hope!!! you're not secretly psychic are you? i'll just pretend you are.

[deaks66]

You are not a dork! We've pretty much all been there, hence why we're on this site.
