You are so strong Ashley!! Do you have it written in an envelope? I would have been tearing into it as soon as we walked out of the office... I am terrible lol

That's great Jett!

Clynn you have been kinda quiet, how is everything going?

Flyingduster, sorry for your loss. I still get sad thinking about my first dog. My parents got her when I was a couple of weeks old, so she treated me like her puppy. She passed away when I was 12, it was heart breaking. I think they stay with you forever. <3

Yes its in an envelope in my purse! I'm giving it to my friend who's making our cake today. I'm dying!!
 
Ashley - you are so patient! We tried to keep it a secret from friends & family for 2 days as we were planning to throw a gender reveal party, but my husband accidentally let it slip to my dad. Instead we had a gender celebration party!

Do you have any intuition about whether you're having a boy or girl?
 
Flyingduster - very sorry to hear about your dog :( we had to give away our cats when I was 20 as my parents had divorced and my mum was moving to the Middle East to teach. My dad wouldn't take them because his new wife had cats of her own (I still really resent him for that) so we had to find a new home for them. They were 16 and 13 and were truly the most affectionate and amazing cats you could wish for. They were a part of our family and it broke my heart to lose them.

Ashley - you are so patient, I too would be ripping into that envelope :D the gender reveal cake thing is great. I did one for my husband. I found out on the Saturday that we were having a girl and had to keep it from him a whole 24 hours, because it was his birthday on the Sunday and I wanted it to be a surprise for him. He kept on saying he knew it was a boy judging by the look on my face and the sound of my voice. It was sooooooo hard not to say anything!!! I've attached some pictures of the cake I made!

Today I lost my first 'baby'; my dog! I got her when I was 15, she would have TURNED 15 this year; I have had her half my life!!! She was my baby, she saw me through sooooo many milestones; moving out of home, boyfriends, marrying hubby, buying our first home, having our first baby.... To have her gone is just unfathomable right now, even though I knew as she got older that her time could come soon... :'(
My other dog is getting soooo many teary cuddles right now.

But meanwhile, baby is having dancing practise inside me, I can feel sooooo much now. I have our FIRST scan in less than 2 days now! I am giving a craft workshop this weekend and getting a decent amount of cash for doing it; for our wee one income family I am so excited to have some spending money!!! I have already picked out the new babywearing wrap I'm going to buy. Lol.

I am so sorry for your loss :hugs: I know what you're going through, I grew up with my cat and when she passed away when I was 15 I was devestated. We have 3 cats now and couldn't imagine my life without them.

:hugs:
 
Thanks all. I've had loads of pets; coming from a farm originally I kept everything I could! Lol! But apart from my horse, no one pet has been with me for so LONG! Its just so weird to think she's gone... :'(

Tomorrow is my scan! We have to leave home at 7:30am to get to the city in time for other appointments, so it'll be an early start for Monster who often doesn't even wake up till 8am!!! Lol.
 
Lovely cake squirrel!

I know I can't keep secrets from DH. When I got my bfp (both times!) I ran straight into the bedroom woke him up and shoved it in his face!! And this time around I got the positive on Dec. 21st, it is such a nice idea to give your OH the peestick (or a picture of it) for Christmas, but if I tried to hold it in I probably would have burst. If I tried to keep the gender a secret the first time I spoke to him or saw him, which ever came first, I would just yell out the answer

And I can't imagine all the strong ladies who wait until birth to find out!! Omg, my Uncle suggested we wait as "it's the only true surprise", I gave him such a dirty look

That's how I was!!! My fiance was working out of town for 2 weeks whenever I got my positive and I wanted to wait til he came home to tell him but NOPE! I ended up calling him and I'm like "omg babe I'm pregnant" lol and I send him a picture of the test lol. 9 days til our scan and I just can't wait any longer lol. We've been doing all the little gender tests to see what we get. We have mixed lol so I guess we will be surprised!
 
That's an awesome cake! That's why neither of us found out because there's no way I could keep it from him!! :)
 
I get to go for my u/s on the 27th. I am more nervous about the heart and such being ok......is anyone else super nervous about their 20 week scan? I am so worried something will be wrong! I guess maybe because I have been through this twice with two perfectly healthy children.....in my head I can't imagine being lucky for a third time. :shrug:

Hoping to relax after this u/s!! Anyone else totally crazy like me??:haha:
 
I'm a bit nervous too, but it helps I've been able to feel more movement the last few days!

I'm sure everything will be fine, addy1!
 
Yay tomorrow is the BIG DAY!!! <3 Our early gender scan. We are both very excited, it's not until 6:30 pm though. So Mom, I and Gavin are going over to my grandma's house to visit her for the day.
 
Have fun at your scan tomorrow Kittey Kat!

I too am a bit nervous about the 20 week scan. I eat well and follow almost all the don't eat lists - the only thing I occasionally do is eat prepackaged salad and don't wash it because I eat lunch in my classroom and I don't have time to go to the staff room to wash it - there and back again is over a 5 minute round trip an with a 45 minute lunch break and waaaaaaaay too much to do, I just don't have time!). I also eat salami occasionally - though here in the UK it's not one of the things that they suggest you don't eat, so not technically breaking any advice there. I do worry though that something might have happened and there will be something wrong. Not a big worry, just a little one!


Brittle nails?? Anyone? I don't know if that's what it is, but I've had two rip today right below the white part. I don't really tend to my nails (not really a nails and make-up person), but luckily they're always in nice condition and take on a naturally nice shape. My thumba dn forefinger nails ripped today though and I so rarely have that happen! Pregnancy related? Maybe a calcium definiciency? Worrying trend! Don't want to have horrible nails for the next four/five months!

x
 
My nails are super long but they are kind of brittle! I was hoping a bottle and one completely ripped off! I think it may be something to do with calcium but I've had major heartburn so I'm taking tums throughout the day which can be use as a calcium supplement so who knows! I'm trying to drink more milk to help.

I also have been on the naughty list for foods. I can't stay away from lunch meat! And I don't like it warm so I tend to eat it cold. I've also been craving sweet stuff and my fiance is afraid I'm going to eat my way into diabetes :( But I can't help it! All I want is fruit punch and jelly beans!!
 
My hair and nails are actually looking much healthier in pregnancy...but its different for everyone so maybe it could be pregnancy related...you can always take biotin to help!

I had to talk myself out of two bags of candy at walmart yesterday, starburst and jolly rancher chews :haha:
 
20 week scan tomorrow here :) super excited to see the babe :) staying on team yellow here though :)
 
Well we had our gender scan today and .... Its A Boy! .. Although i wanted a girl i am super made up and over the moon, all that matters is that it is healthy which he is :) .. Ahhh soo happy!!
