(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

[SugarBeth]

Love your announcement pics, DrGomps!!! So cute! I bet you got a lot of great comments from your family and friends!

I booked a gender ultrasound today for July 13th. We're going to have a gender reveal at the end of my daughter's party on the 14th. Just 33 days to go until we find out! I felt girl this whole time until two weeks ago, and now I feel boy. I'm super confused, I want to know NOW!

Dr gomps, what sweet announcement pics!

So sorry to hear the doctor was such an idiot. I understand them giving you all facts but they shouldn't push you into anything!!!! Who is he to say what is right or wrong?????? Especially when all three are perfect. In glad he won't be able to get on your case anymore - rest assured we all support you here, in whatever decision you make. Parenting is hard enough without arrogant people making it harder!!!

Wonderful pics DrGomps! Sorry the doctor was an ass.

We have had names picked out since we first started trying! We used to spend a lot of time laying in bed tossing name ideas around until we landed on the ones we like.

 

[diamondlove33]

I can't think of any names anymore.. we liked Sofia for a girl but now .. I have no idea!! We have a boy name picked ..

Gromps-- Cannot believe your DR!!!!!! Kudos to you for sticking to your guns though. Tough mama.

Anyone else feeling just.. ehhhh. I feel like i'm so sad and I have no idea why? Anyone else?

 

[ready2Bmum]

yes yes yes Diamondlove. I just have a crying fit. My OH doesn't know whats going on!!

 

[diamondlove33]

yes yes yes Diamondlove. I just have a crying fit. My OH doesn't know whats going on!!

Thank goodness! I don't have any idea either but out of nowhere my dh's ex drives me crazy just to think about I'm all of the sudden the most insecure woman on this planet and everything is just WRONG .. I thought that being pregnant would be so much fun and to be honest i'm miserable

I thought the same thing when I was pregnant with my daughter, that it would be so much fun and I would feel so special but it's not like that at all. Being pregnant is miserable! Something always hurts or is uncomfortable and you always feel as big as a house! I was depressed and insecure and so tired. Although after my daughter was born and I realized what a special and absolutely amazing person she is I missed having her all to myself and I wished I had tried to enjoy my pregnancy more. So with this one I am trying to do that and it's not always easy but I remember this time with my baby is truly a unique and special time that only I get to experience with him or her and it makes me feel a little better about things

First trimester is always miserable. Second trimeser was actually FUN though. Feeling the babies movements, finding out the sex etc... AMAZING. No clue about 3rd trimester though as I've only ever spent 2 weeks in it. I fear it might be like the first trimester all over. Except fat. lol

I got laid off work today... haven't decided if its worth looking for a job as I have a definite bump at this point and the odds aren't good. (I work in IT which is very male dominated anyway.)

 

[DHBH0930]

Skadi Sorry to hear that. I'm in a similar situation

I had an educational assistant job at an elementary school this past school year. It was supposed to be my foot in the door and lead me to a teaching job this next year. So far nothing, no interviews or anything. Also this job I had may not be funded next year, leaving me jobless. I am annoyed since I've been trying for years to be a teacher, now I probably won't be hired since I'm starting to show, even though its illegal, they can easily blame it on lack of experience. I really don't want to be an educational assistant again, so even if they do fund my position next year, the pay is crap so I'm leaning toward staying home and doing my photography instead, wouldn't need daycare, which is a big plus. Only problem is its not consistent pay, and if I get out of school system now I fear I won't ever get back in... Ugh I'm so frustrated! Not sure what to do

So who is all finding out gender.. and who isn't.. we will have to put pinks, blues, and yellows by everyone.. will be fun to see what your all having...

Team Yellow here

 

[Hoping girl 2]

Team yellow here! Want the surprise at the end xx

 

[DHBH0930]

Definitely finding out gender! Scan is in 2weeks!! I will be 15 + 2, however I've been measuring about 4 days ahead. Its a private scan, they claim they can determine after 15 weeks. What do you guys think? Should they be able to tell by then?

Once you find out all find out the gender I will post it on the front page. Any others on team yellow I can post that now.

 

[lilrojo]

Yeah I think they can tell as early at 15-16 weeks.. exciting..

I'm on team pink, DH is on team yellow.. We are getting a private scan @ 15 wks on 6/22 CANNOT WAIT! I can't make up my mind as to what I THINK baby is, though.

 

[WantaBelly]

I'm still toggling whether I want to find out the gender or not. I have never stayed team and part of me wants to know what that feels like but the other part of me wants to know NOW! LOL, I need to hurry up & decide because I'm having the MaterniT21 blood test done tomorrow & they can tell me the baby's sex if I want to know. We have 6 girls and I would really like a little brother for my almost 3 yr old son, in fact he keeps telling me its a baby boy in there & I try to tell him it might be a girl but he says "No" and doesn't want to hear it. He already has 2 little sisters and 4 big sisters....


The scan pic in my avatar was taken at 10 weeks & I know gender cannot be determined that early but when the Dr was looking around down there I swear I saw the gender, not sure though as they are supposed to look the same at 10 weeks. Hmm....

 

[SugarBeth]

We're finding out the gender on July 13th. I'm hoping for team pink, but really can't tell this time! I get both boy and girl vibes, really confused!

 

[DrGomps]

I booked a private scan for July 7th. I will bs 15w4d. I found put with DD at 16 weeks. There is no way I could not find out with three. Lol.

 

[elleff]

I can't decide whether to find out or not! Part of me is desperate to know, they other part is desperate for a surprise! aahhhhhh! Scan on 15th July so will have to decide by then!

 

[Nikkinoonoo]

We're thinking of staying on team yellow. I dunno if I'll have the willpower tho, I can be pretty impatient! xXx

 

[kdw1979]

I'm back! Here's my scan, although baby wouldn't stay still for a clear shot, so it looks like a blob, but it is waving!! The sonographer was amazing with us, as soon as we saw baby on the screen, I burst into tears, so she asked if we had a hard time, I explained everything, so she sneakily gave us a bit of extra time with baby saying she couldn't possibly send us out looking like we had been crying! She was fantastic and really understanding. We heart the heart beat for the first time, 142bpm, so all is looking good!

Thank you for the support messages after my little hissy fit the other day!
My dates were spot on.

We have a gender/3D scan booked for 6th July, I cannot wait!
