(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

[GalvanBaby]

I have a girl, 11 and boy, almost 10. I wouldn't change them for the world, but they fight 24/7 like cats and dogs. But let someone bother one of them and the other one is on! lOL

When we first started TTC#3 I was desperate for a boy; we have two girls already, and we've always wanted to be parents to both genders. But as each cycle passed I lost that urge, and then I just wanted to be pregnant; with any gender; I didn't care. I still don't care; I actually love the thought of having a third girl. I could never sound so ungrateful though; you never know who's having trouble conceiving

My parents had 3 girls, I'm the middle one. We are all super close, we usually hang out twice a week! They are my best friends and always have been One thing nice about having all the same gender is I think GENERALLY they get along better/ have more in common, especially when older. Not to say that different gender siblings can't be as close or that ALL same gender siblings get along, but in my experience and my families/friends cases it has been the same gender siblings that get along best.

Tha's what I'm hoping. My daughters are 20 months apart (the new baby will be a 23m gap, so pretty much the same), and they get along so well already; they play together and they laugh together, and they miss one another when they're apart. Here we have to live in tiny flats/apartments, so our kids will always be in close proximity to one another. I like to think the third baby will be as close as my girls. I had a brother 2yrs older, and a brother 11yrs younger. I would have liked a sister

DH and I are really hoping for a girl. I just really want one of each gender though I wouldn't mind all boys. I have always thought I'd rather have all boys than all girls. But I still would like to have a daughter. Then I won't have to be the dreaded MiL all the time as the MiL/DiL relationship seems the most testy. LOL

With my history I overall just want a healthy baby. I plan on finding out the gender at the 20 week scan if I can so that gives me plenty of time to get excited for another boy if that is what I'm having.

For the experience of being a parent, I would love one of each, but for the kids relationship to each other I'd prefer both of the same gender. But I get what I get and I won't throw a fit!

I am also finding out the sex as soon as I possibly can! haha I have NO patience at all, there is no way I could keep it a surprise.

What about the rest of you? Finding out the gender beforehand or waiting for a surprise???

 

[Lara310809]

We're finding out at the 20 week scan, and will have a 4D scan in the third trimester, so will ask them to confirm it then too.

With our first we didn't find out, and with our second we did. I don't mind not knowing this time, but my husband says he wants to know this time. I think he wants to get used to it being a girl, if it is. He has his heart set on a boy. TBH if he needs time, then that's fine. As long as when the baby is born, we're both happy, then that's all that matters.

I have never had my blood work done so couldn't tell ya about the progesterone.

I don't know anything about progesterone levels, but your HCG sounds good

Welcome and congrats! I am extremely paranoid too! When is your first appointment?

 

[DHBH0930]

thanks ladies!! When is everyones first appt/scan???

Had a "check up" on Tuesday, it wasn't very informative. My first real appointment for blood work and a scan is April 30th.... I'm counting down the days!

 

[Starry Night]

I'm seeing the doctor on Monday and am planning on begging for a scan or at least some blood work. All the babies I lost had poor viability at this point already so I just want to get some idea where this pregnancy is headed.

 

[DHBH0930]

Telling my family today! It's super early and I will make sure they realize that. Don't need my mom running out and buying things! Lol I was hanging out with my sisters yesterday and it was so hard not to talk about it with them.

Still not much symptom wise. Still have light cramping on and off, can't tell if its my uterus or my intestines causing it. I've been gassy, and not regular and my appetite has bee weird, i get really hungry but then when i go to eat i cant eat much and i feel super full for a long time after....but that's all no MS or sore boobs, etc..... Still don't "feel" pregnant

What about the rest of you, what are your symptoms like?

 

[SugarBeth]

Please add me for December 12!

I have my first ultrasound on Thursday. This is our rainbow baby after our loss in January, so we're looking for some great news!

So far symptoms are just being exhausted and hungry. I'm beginning to get sick when my stomach is empty now. Nothing extreme yet, but they're slowly growing on me.

We told the rest of our family and friends yesterday, so now everyone officially knows. Glad to not have to try and keep things a secret, I love talking about pregnancy and babies!

How exciting! Congrats! I feel the same way, I totally understand other people wanting to wait to tell anyone, I just can't. I thought I was going to burst yesterday when we were hanging out, but I want to tell them all at the same time tonight. I can't wait! I literally have butterflies in my stomach, I'm sure my dad is going to tear up, he did when we announced our engagement a couple years ago, and my mom is going to be ecstatic! She can't wait to be a grandma for the first time!

I'm glad I'm not the only one not feeling tons of symptoms already. I know it is still very early, I've heard women not really feel anything till 6 or 7 weeks in. I'm still temping and it's still slowly rising and my pg tests still keep getting darker and darker, so that makes me feel good

GL on Thursday for your u/s!

I always get morning sickness early. With my first daughter, I found out I was pregnant because I had to run out of the grocery store after seeing raw meat. I sent DH back in for a pregnancy test and boom, I was 4 weeks pregnant exactly.

That sounds like fun, I hope you get some great pregnancy reactions! Now that I'm on my third pregnancy, it seems less exciting to most. Which stinks, because I'm just bursting with excitement!
