Redsox - so glad everything is OK and you can now relax. I suppose they are just being thorough but it does seem a little overkill compared to UK certainly.

Are you team yellow? I keep forgetting

Yeah - hot OHs all around this group

Death threats?!

Defo no forwarding address!

Mitch - I'd say white underneath (I like the green). The mushroom colour there now looks a bit dark? Not sure how yellow would look?
However, it took us months to decide what colours to decorate downstairs, so i'm no interior designer!

2nd time - err pack up and run i think!

Yes - Maybe next time I will go have my baby in the UK.

We were supposed to be Team Yellow but this is what happened last week:

So yesterday I avoided Lozza's question out of guilt! Little confession to make...DH TOTALLY caved during the scan and despite our telling the tech we didn't want to know, he peeked!!! It was honestly the cutest thing as I was looking away (as instructed

) and I looked over at DH and he just mouthed "Boy!" It was too funny! I just started yelling 'Cheater!!!!" and the tech had a good laugh. She asked us 3 times if we were sure we wanted to know - and sure enough - we have a little boy on the way!!

I was so surprised all day yesterday - because we found out AND because baby is a boy - and had agreed with DH to keep it a secret. Well sure enough DH blabbed to a client during the day and by the time I came home from work he said, we can't do this, let's just tell. Picked up the phone and just dialed his family!!!! Seeing that he was the one adamant about baby's gender being a surprise this was a massive turn of events, and in my opinion, too funny and cute.

Finding out was really amazing for us and I am so glad our cheeky little boy showed off his parts - I think it was Wouldluvabub who was so blown away by how bonded she feels with her baby boy now that she knows...I feel the same way!!!!!

I am FINALLY sooooo excited and really just sort of starstruck that I am going to have this little guy in my arms in just a little while! I honestly and truly thought we were having a girl and I think I am still adjusting to the idea of a boy - but there is no doubt I am literally beaming when I think about having a little son. After all of the stress and worry - it's such a blessing to finally just walk around smiling about my baby!

Lastly - hats off to the true Team Yellow ladies!!!! I pray that DH and can do this again soon and maybe that will be our real Team Yellow time!

Mitch, what about a darker green under the chair rail (assuming that's what dado rail means in UK English?)?

Redsox, not sure about the Dr's in Canada... remember, I'm in Canada and I was the one who has to go back for a follow-up ultrasound due to a crooked pinky finger on baby. Agreed on midwives though - they're wonderful! Not the first choice for most people in Canada, so usually any comment about a midwife is followed by, "Wait. Are you having your baby at home in your living room!?!?" Um, no. Midwives can deliver in hospitals too. People just assume you're a crunchy hippy-type when you use midwives here!

just thought i'd upload some bump pics seen as i missed out on the first few weeks of the thread...the first is at 6 weeks when we found out and the second is last week, i did take one last night but can't find the lead to upload my photos

i don't quite have the same body shape some of you do and honestly i don't live in those leggins!

lol

Oh yessss I remember now.....you found out a little by accident

How you feeling about finding out? Has it taken any of the excitement away or are you please?

I think maybe leaving the mushroom under the rail.

They don't even have midwives here.

Maybe if you went to the province capitol but not here. And i agree, if you had a midwife people would be watching for an old grandmotherly type to show at your door to deliever the baby.

crowned- its a bit the same where im at. and my insurance doesnt cover midwives. i can use a family dr or OB/GYN. anything else i have to pay for myself. even if i was to have a doula at the birth just for support, but not to deliver the baby we would have to pay for it ourselves. thankfully i have a great OB/GYN that im comfortable with
