Kirsty- Your kids are just adorable! They both look so very excited. Have they said whether they are hoping for a baby brother or sister? My son is extremely excited and he keeps going back and forth between thinking I'm having a boy and a girl. His latest idea is that I am having a girl because I am a girl! lol I explained that he used to be in there and he is a boy, but he still goes with his logic.
Northern- Happy official 2nd trimester! I'm glad you are starting to feel better. Hopefully, your anxiety eases as well.
Dini- I'm glad you have a friend to go through your pregnancy with. I am glad that my comment about my son's hb helped relieve stress for you. My experience with him has left me never believing any theories about hb and gender being connected.
Mod- Welcome! Nobody expects you to read all the pages. I joined quite some time back and I didn't even bother to read what was posted prior..other than the first page with people's due dates.
GreyGirl- Yeah, that's the same for you too. We just like seeing you come in and say hello. I get used to this thread moving fast and topics changing quickly. I think it's just a fun place to share experiences and chat about our pregnancies.
I'm so excited for all these upcoming scans! I can't wait to see them!
I have decided to listen to baby every Wednesday since that's when I turn a new week. I just wanted to see how things have changed. I got it very strong this morning and much higher than just last week! Actually, it was up higher than even Monday at my appointment. I am getting a very loud reading right in the center between my pubic bone and belly button. The doppler read about 150. So, I'm going to say that's more like 160 because my doppler is usually off. I may actually have an anterior placenta again because I always seem to hear the placenta sounds mixed in with the HB.
Since baby seems to have moved up, I am excited to take a bump picture today and compare it. I took one last week but it looked practically the same as week 11.
Meanwhile, my husband's cousin's girlfriend just found out she's having a girl after I spoke with her 2 weeks ago and she swore she was having a boy. She said the heart rate was 140, so it had to be boy. lol More proof to the idea that heart rate doesn't tell gender. She shared her ultrasound, and it was very obvious she was having a girl! My MIL kept saying she thought she was going to have a boy and I was going to have a girl. I'll be eager to see what happens. I keep getting girl vibes for the past couple of weeks, but you just never know.
Now that I've officially rambled, I hope everyone is having a great day! Glad many people are experiencing relief from nausea! If my bump looks different, I'll be back on with a 13 week bump picture.
