Yay for your girl, Randa!

Thank you! I cried! I waited 90 min past my appt time, and my husband was with me but had to go back to work, so he doesn't yet know. I'm going to decorate the entrance in pink so when he comes home tonight and turns on the hallway light, he'll know!

Congratulations Randa! Yay for team pink, we are catching up with team Blue!

Congrats on team pink Randa that is such a sweet way to surprise your hubby, he's going to be over the moon!

Has anyone ever tried home gender tests?! I’m currently waiting on some red cabbage then I’m going to try that & the baking soda.
I’m a week away from my anatomy scan but getting desperate now

Well I just did it and the water went purple & the soda didn’t do a single thing.
ETA apparently that means girl.. we’ll see !

I've tried a couple, the pendulum one and the baking soda one. The pendulum went in a circle which means boy and the baking soda didn't fizz and I think that meant girl? Can't wait to find out if yous is spot on my scan's next week and I think hubby can come to it with our DD

Randa: grats on Team hun!!!! I sure will update .

AFM: still waiting on my new insurance card . As for my jaw, I'm doing great I just need that broken tooth pulled. I was going to get it done in Texas before I left but silly me decided to wait until I came back to North Carolina. Turned out to be a bad decision because it's taking forever for me to get my new insurance card. I didn't realize that Medicaid would take this long. They would probably want me to wait until I'm at least 20 weeks anyway because they would have to put me under.

On a much lighter note here's what my oldest said to me

Riya: mommy has a baby in your tummy?
Me: Yup, sure do!
Riya: Why you eat a baby?
Me: I didn't eat a baby, I'm growing a baby.
Riya: Don't eat my brother, that's my brother!!

Guess I'm having a boy according to her lol 😁.

Kiwi that is precious!!! I hope her intuition is right for ya. My son's was very wrong lol. He actually drew a family picture (stick figures) of us all and his baby sister i had to remind him mommy has another boy baby, not girl!

Randa congratulations on team pink!

 

[RandaPanda]

Thanks so much, ladies! DH is home in about 20 minutes! Eek
I'll post a pic from the scan later - the tech was so nice and gave me 5 pictures and was tearing up with me over how happy I was

Cuddle, that would be so nice to have both your husband and daughter there! My oldest was so fascinated just by the pictures I showed him this evening, I can't imagine how cool he would have thought the scan was.

Haha, Emsabub, I should have googled before assuming that the results were inconclusive! I'm excited to see if they're correct!

Kiwi, I hope the dental/insurance stuff gets sorted soon - definitely not the kind of thing you need to be worrying about while pregnant Your daughter sounds adorable!!

 

[RandaPanda]

I don't know what all those little bubbly bits are in the one picture...mwel, would your husband have any insight? The other is of her adorable little foot

 

[gigglebox]

Aww Randa a little jealous here!

How did hubby react?

I think the bits are just the cord

 

[mwel8819]

lol! cat's are great at that you've got a cutie blackie from your pic, is that the one? I've got three and only the meanest one likes to snuggle in the morning and shove her face in my face lol, so I feel you! Skating sounds like so much fun!

No, my sweet black baby would never do that to me. The cat conspiracy to prepare me for never sleeping again is:

1) 15 year old tabby meows loudly in my face between 4:00 and 4:30 am to go outside

2) Try to fall asleep for an hour, then finally drift off.

3) Rescue Siamese cat with kidney failure meows at top of her lungs between 6:00 and 6:30 am for breakfast.

I also have a mean cat that hates me and loves my husband although I am the one who feeds her. And yes, that's 4 cats. The rescue was not planned. We are obviously insane.

Ladies, I had my 15 week scan today, and everything is going as well as possible! My placenta has moved out of previa position, and baby girl is 5 inches and 5 ounces and jumping all over the place. I shall now attempt (again) to chill out for the next month until I see her again.

Yay for great news! I love kitty cats as well. I have 3 and only one likes to snuggle. One likes to be pet WHEN he demands and the other is a wild one who only wants attention when she wants it and you can't catch her....she will slide right out of your arms.

So glad to hear everyone’s doing well, whoever mentioned the leggings too they’re a lifesaver. I’ve been living in mine for weeks and probably months more!

All I wear is leggings...literally...ALL I WEAR! Dresses and Leggings.

 

[mwel8819]

Slightly off topic but has anyone else constantly got baby shark stuck in their head?

Yessss omg! All the time!

 

[mwel8819]

mollymoon- not till the 23rd, I already asked if I could have it sooner but got a no lol.

Mrsmarple- oh no! but were they at least tasty? and I usually go for the instant ones myself my poor banana bread is dry! At least my hubby will eat it ( or pawn it off on co-workers lol)

Wriggly- YES! my daughter is obsessed with it and the mere mention of it gets the diddy going on my head lol!

Has anyone ever done a hard sneeze in an awkward position? I was twisted on my side when it happened and horrible pain just erupted from my lower right side, I had to get up and walk it out ligament pain you think from the awkward sneeze angle?

Happens at least once weekly. Hurts so bad!

 

[mwel8819]

Yay for your girl, Randa!

Thank you! I cried! I waited 90 min past my appt time, and my husband was with me but had to go back to work, so he doesn't yet know. I'm going to decorate the entrance in pink so when he comes home tonight and turns on the hallway light, he'll know!

Congrats on team pink and what an adorable idea!

I have asked him and I will get back with you.

AFM, I'm just getting more and more nervous as time goes on. The heartbeat has slowed from 180 down to 140...I hope that is normal...well according to the doppler. I'm so worried something will be wrong. I'm trying to push it out of my head and those of you that are religious get what I say when I say I'm trying to give it to God and leave it alone. Am I the only one that is scared of this scan? I know most look forward to it because it is a gender scan...

I think normal heart rate at this point is between 120 and 160. Our girl’s was 154 at the 15.5 week point.

I took the Facebook plunge today with my favorite u/s video clip of baby girl fully extending her legs and jumping on me. I’ve come out!

It's ok, my little sprout was at 154-156 and it dropped to 138 or so when I had my emergency scan, I had asked about that and they said it's normal for their heart rate to do this as the pregnancy progresses and their hearts regulate to between 120-160.

 

[mwel8819]

Thanks ladies! I just need to calm down and stop getting worked up about every little thing.

 

[mwel8819]

It is the umbilical cord, hubby says. Looks good!

 

[MollyMoon]

Me too I have to quickly sit my self up when I sneeze or I'll get a horrible cramp or round ligament pain!

 

[Emsabub]

For the sneeze thing same here

 

[Jamers89]

So our appointment went amazingly! Baby had a great heartbeat and looked beautiful .

Doctor wasn't 100%, but he thinks that we are Team Pink! But we will have to wait another 3 weeks to be totally sure. We did get an adorable shot of some little baby feet, which was amazing! Can't wait to smooch those toes
