Yay congrats Ginger and Tally on your little Princesses...

After having 2 boys, the girls section in shops blinded me and it was overwhelming... Im a tomboy!, but i do have a girly streak in me lol. Im use to Cars, Dinosaurs, Mud, Water... Were a Family who do Go-Karting and watch Formula1 :haha:

So when i was expecting my daughter although i was soo excited, i was rather anxious. I do dress her in Dresses etc, but she's an outdoors type of girl and so prefers her jeans, wellies and dungarees! She loves CARS!!! and loves watching formula1... We do own a lot of pink, and princess themed things and i must say it has turned me more slightly girly, which can only be a good thing haha

But she's a total tomboy, plays in the mud, jumps in puddles and she's never clean.

My nana always use to say, "A son is son until he finds a wife, a daughter is a daughter for all your life" How true is that? x
 
Congrats, Tally!

I'm not a very good daughter (I moved really far away, and don't agree with my parents on lots of things), so maybe I'm secretly afraid my daughter will be the same. :haha:
 
I know everyone has kind of covered all this, but wanted to contribute.

I desperately wanted a boy first time round for lots of the same reasons you mentioned. I was disappointed for less than a week and came round quickly. I didn't like a lot of the pink clothes that were bought for my daughter, but she looked adorable in them in the end and I am a lot warmer to pink (but NOT baby pink) than I used to be. She has amazing pink addidas trainers that are AMAZING.

I'm glad I found out as I would've hated that disappointment on birth day, my mum made a good point that she thinks it adds to some people's post natal and not just because it wasn't what they hoped for, but that it wasn't what they thought, they'd just built up an image in their head. So for me it was the right thing.

DD wears star wars clothes, super hero clothes. She wore the most adorable superman onesie when she first saw my brother out of the hospital, a big comic geek, as is my partner. It's a wee suit, torn away to reveal the Superman outfit...loved it!

She has a toy garage right next to her Minnie mouse kitchen. I hated all that stuff too, but seeing how these things make her face light up (along with the new Star Wars trailer may I add) just melts my heart.

I know you don't need persuaded and you know that it just takes a bit of a brain shift, but wanted to share my experience as I know many people frown on the idea of gender disappointment. My daughter is anything but a disappointment, she amazes me every single day and am so proud that I'm her mum. I would love a boy this time, but actually am less fussed than the last time. As long as they get on, at least some of the times with DD I'll be a happy mum!

We ended up with a list of 130 names! Time to narrow it down! :rofl:

I have a huge name list too. I usually make the giant list and then put in meanings and popularity stats for each name. Then dh and I pick our favorite 10 or so. The names we picked in common make it to our short list. We pick middle names for all on our short list and rank them. The top two go to the hospital with us and we make the final decision once baby is born. :-) Naming is hard work lol.

I am a little worried about this. I have two girls and really want a boy. Based on my own analysis of my 12 week scan and other people's unanimous guesses, I'm having a third girl. We are not finding out the sex this time, but I am hoping that since I believe 100% that this baby is a girl, I won't be disappointed if that turns out to be true!
 
I'm so jealous of you all, I can't afford an early scan so I won't be finding out until my 20w ultrasound in 3 weeks.
 
I was commenting earlier to OH that my belly was still very small compared to what it was going to be and he said "It's pretty big already though, it's about the size of a normal full term pregnancy." I could have hit him! I certainly hope he doesn't think I look like I've gained 30+ pounds!
 
Dark star - People at work say I've "popped" and are asking if I'm sure we're not having twins. Ugh. One was like you look full time. Real nice.
 
Darkstar-I'm right there with you. Won't be finding out gender till 19 weeks at anatomy scan. I envy all the ladies getting to find out so soon. And omg I can't believe your DH said that!!! I'm sure he didn't mean it in a hurtful way, but I really wish men and even some women would think before opening their mouths.
 
Well, I am 16 weeks tomorrow. I start my P17 shots and cervical checks on Wednesday. I know that most people worry in the 1st tri, but now starts my time of worry. At least this is my 2nd pregnancy after a preemie, so hopefully I will make it to term. Last time, I was hospitalized for a bit at the same time that my waters broke with my first. I really hope to avoid that this time!
 
Cheree- I really hope you have a different experience this time. Sounds like are going to monitor you well this time around, so that's a plus.

Aw, thanks. I think it will be ok. I carried my second to term, but had a lot of ptl. I don't mind that as long as my water doesn't break early again. I think the shots helped last time (even if it was a placebo effect - I'll take it over a NICU stay).
 
For sure! Placebo effect or not whatever helps you stay relaxed and more comfortable in the situation.
 
Thanks everyone xxxxx

Cheree I hope all the monitoring pays off xx it must be so worrying x

Dark star how u feeling hun? Wow at ur dh saying that!

Me neither dark star. But it will be fine. Let's just hope they cooperate. At least for me this is the last chance lol.

GL Cheree!
 
Cheree, my sister had to take P17 shots to prevent early labor too. Luckily, it worked well for her, and she has three great kids, the last two carried to term.
