I don't like pink either! I've already told my whole family NO PINK if it's is a girl. Lol
 
Apparently! :haha:

I think at one point I was crying because I had just eaten, but I was already hungry again, and there wasn't anything I wanted in the house. LOL

Ultrasound went PERFECTLY. Heart rate was 150 bpm and the baby even did little sit ups and arm waves for us!! Measured really well and...YAY. We are over the moon. I do have a question though. There are places in town to get ultrasounds done and we REALLY want one early to find out gender. When's the earliest we could really go? I was thinking 14 weeksish because I see that a lot on these forums but then google was all "NOPE", so now I'm not sure. The place we are going can even live stream the ultrasound for family members so we all want to find out together which would be so special. Any ideas? I was thinking latest would be 16 weeks but a whole month is sooooo looonngg from now haha. 2 or 3 weeks seems much more manageable haha
 
I told you it would be great!

You'll have to ask the place that does them. You can tell (I think) from 15 weeks, but the place I'm going to won't do gender determination until 16 weeks to make sure. 11 days until my gender scan!

I like the place I've chosen because a)they have a special so it's only $50 right now. and b) it says on their site that if they can't determine gender that they let you come back for another visit free of charge. but it doesn't do the live streaming. I think we will end up doing that and trying to tell our families in another cute way. We aren't close to anyone so it's been really hard trying to think of ways to tell them.
 
Yeah, ours will let you come back if they can't tell too, but they won't even try until 16 weeks. It's called Stork Vision.
 
Our gender scan place does it from 16 weeks so I'm booked in for bang on 16 weeks lol xx

I finished knitting my baby sweater but the picture file is too big to attach xx
 
Oh and I also dislike pink. It's almost impossible to avoid with a little girl tho x
 
Hi ladies! I am due Oct 27th! This will be our 4th child! I have an 11 yr old, my DH and I have a 21m old, and a 7m old! It's crazy to think we'll have 3 under 3! I have just told my family, and my DH has yet to tell his. I feel hide already so I'm surprised my MIL hasn't said a word yet! Congrats to everyone! I have been on bnb for the last two but I'm just now getting the time to be able to come on here and post.

This pregnancy was a shock to me and took me a little while to come to the reality of it but I finally am starting to get excited again!

So today was not the day :nope: and I had a feeling when I was typing my first post this morning...test had to be retaken today The location where samples are sent to didnt give too much information but my obgyn said it could have been because of how early i took it (you can take as early as 11 weeks and I took it at 11 weeks 1 day) the nurse who conducted the test today said it could because tubes of blood were not full (I dont remember if it was) so.....another 2 weeks we may or may not find out (I ahve a feeling this test wont come back with anything again and we will find out at my 18 week ultrasound!
On a funnier note, DH was more upset than I was since he was so nervous during the appointment. When we heard the heartbeat my obgyn goes," well according to the theory it could be a girl since you have a high heart beat" and my DH looks up in shock and he just looked so scared. The nurse reminds him it is just a myth but, to him all he hears is, "ITS A GIRL!" After the nurse leaves he goes, "what am I going to do with a girl, do you know what I am going to have to deal with a girl, and then the boys???
oh my lol i was laughing! And all the way to the lab (which is in the basement he has a million thoughts running through his mind...poor thing! He starts talking to himself and says, "everything is going to be pink, i dont even like pink" he asks me what I am laughing at and I said, "your reaction!" I just had to share with you girls :haha:

Oh bummer you have to redo the test. I got the harmony test, which can be done at 9 weeks. I had mine done at 9+2 and had a low fetal fraction of like 7%, but apparently it was enough because I got results from it. I am not a fan of pink either, but there are lots of super cute girl stuff that isn't pink. I am tired of the superhero boy stuff, but I do love the color palate of the boy clothes.

Hello, hormones! I started crying about NOTHING about an hour ago, and still haven't stopped! NOTHING IS WRONG! WHY AM I CRYING? :dohh:

The last few days I have had tears running down my face at odd times for no reason. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I cry watching all sorts of things, but the tears just running down my face for no reason I don't get. I have a tear running down my face as I am typing. Stupid hormones!
 
Hoping when I go for my ultrasound at 16+5 that they can tell the gender of these little ones.

I got wonderful news today my cousin has been talking with all of her friends who are done having babies and they are donating a crib, changing table, walker, exersaucer, 2 swings and a highchair. I am so overwhelmed right now! We passed on our baby things 2 years ago since we were happy with our little family of 4. So it is such a relief that I don't have to buy these things. Still plenty more to get for twins, but every little bit helps!

Fx the scan will be nice and clear for you xx Gah I can't even imagine having twins lol one baby at a time is enough!!!!! It's great that people are passing items to you though, that'll be a great help x
 
I didnt want any pink if my first was a girl i told all the family to not even bother lol but if i have a girl now after 2 boys its probably going to be a pink and purple wonderland for the babe lol
My OH has decided that a gender scan is a waste of money :( and i have to wait til 20 week scan ... we do have a lot to buy with both our boys bdays inbetween and needing a new car and everything for the baby then only a short time to xmas after baby comes we will need to have a little saved for that already. But still next time i have an emotional breakdown and hes being all extra nicey i'll ask again :P lol
 
I've started bleeding again. I hope it's just the clot, but it's a lot of blood & last time I bled like this, I lost one of my twins :( I've called my midwife, who tried to get me into the epau for a scan, but they're fully booked until Monday - which is when my dating scan is anyway! The mw sounded really concerned, until I told her about my scan being on Monday anyway & she tried to be cheery about it. Said that it can be normal, don't worry & rest over the wkend. Sigh. I've just got to wait it out.. I don't know whether to try to book in for another private scan to make sure our little bear is ok. I'm praying he is ok in there.
 
Oh no charmed :( I really hope it's just a clot and your little one is holding on. Please rest xx
 
Oh charmed I hope it's just a clot and bubs is doing just fine :hugs: it must be horrible having to wait and worry xxxxx
 
Fingers crossed it's nothing charmed. I hope you can get an earlier scan, if you choose to x
