Squirrel I couldn't agree more. this is a very amazing thread and will do us all proud over the next 8 months. xx

So who is finding out and who isn't? I would love to have the will power to be team yellow, but I know that I have to find out!! We want three kids and would love at least one of each, so if we find out this one is a girl then we will stay team yellow with the last baby.

I have a feeling this one is another boy, just a gut feeling. Though not much can be said for my gut feelings as I was very wrong last time!! Everyone in my family will think it's a girl though as my brothers and I are weirdly following the same pattern of marriages and births (right down to the difference in age/years between) as my dad and his brother and sister did. I was due to be pregnant next (around this time too!) and that child from the previous generation was a girl, so they will all assume I'm having a girl too! I'd love it to be a boy to prove the theory is false just to get them to stop talking about it and predicting events in my life based on it

Xx

I was convinced I was having a boy from the off last time, and was right! So far, this pregnancy has been so different already, I'd probably hedge my bets on a girl. Plus, we never actually DTD on ovulation day (which we did with Harrison), and apparently girl sperms are slower and live longer than boy sperms. So... that might indicate a girl too.

Welcome new August ladies!

I realized that I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Shana, I'm 26 and my OH is Sean (27) and we live in the Seattle area of Washington state. We've been together since 2003 and have been wanting a baby for most of those 10 years! I've always known I wanted kids, and I can honestly say that since around age 11 or so being a mother has been my life dream. Isn't a broody preteen a funny thought to imagine? But that was me Right now I'm a substitute teacher. My OH recently got a job with UPS, and interviewed last week for his dream job as an Event Coordinator for a local teen center. That's us in a nutshell!

I said earlier that I wasn't really having any symptoms, but this afternoon after lunch my back started aching like mad. I'm prone to sore backs because I have a slight curve in my lower spine, so it may have to do with that and not the pregnancy at all. Could be both though? So right now I'm on the couch with a heating pad doing laundry and watching Netflix while OH puts up Christmas lights. Christmas is by far my favorite time of the year! December 14th is when I would've been due if I hadn't miscarried last spring, so I feel very blessed that I'm going to be pregnant again when that date rolls around. We're planning to release some balloons that day, which I'm excited for but dreading at the same time. I really being pregnant again helps, especially since I don't feel like our first pregnancy is being replaced, but I feel more like, "She's back!"

hi! wow this thread moves quickly!
we will DEF be finding out what we're having. i think we'll do aleksandr julian for a boy. for a girl either aleksandra or maia with julia or juiliana for middle name. all of these are family names.

 

[flyingduster]

Well, I haven't been on bnb for ages and ages, but I am back now!! And I THINK I will be due around the 8th August. I am not at all sure though, and am only going by symptoms of when I think I might have been ovulating.... I am not getting an early dating scan, but might get one later just to see if it is about right.... Lol. I could be way off!??

Anyway, I am 29, so is hubby, we've been married 4.5 years and already have our 2 year old son together too. So so excited about #2!!

I am fairly hippy-ish too, so may have different ideas to many! But all good by me, we are all different people with different preferences.

 

[tori0713]

Hi everyone! I'm Tori, married to Dan, and we're both 24. We've been married for just shy of 3 years (3rd anniversary is in April) and this is the first year that hubby and I will have spent completely together. He is a Marine Corps veteran and I'm a third grade teacher. DH builds helicopters for a living now (he does all of the electronics components on them). We moved from North Carolina to our hometown outside of Philadelphia this past April.

We're expecting baby #1 after a chemical last month. The BFPs I got this month were nothing like the ones from last month, because these have been stronger and definitely are progressing.

We'll be finding out the sex, definitely, thinking boy already. We NTNP this past month, so I'm not 100% when I O'd, just based on symptoms I put the due date at August 12th, could be sooner. I'm hoping to get a dating u/s in before Christmas.

I also voted August poppies just because it has special significance with the fact that my husband is a veteran

 

[flyingduster]

Oh yeah, I voted for august blossoms, because over here it will be late winter, and the early spring blossoms tend to be coming out in august!! Lol.

 

[clynn11]

We will be finding out sex. I want around 5 kids, so once we have one of each- the rest will be surprises. But i'm extremely excited to be able to paint/decorate a nursery, etc.

I'm feeling girl for some reason. Don't know why, just what I feel. Don't like to call it intuition though because i'll feel silly if i'm wrong and it's a boy I'd be so extremely happy with either!

 

[PnkPolkaDots]

It's so nice to get to know everyone!

We're definitely finding out the sex - as soon as they let us! I completely agree with you clynn... we'd love to have 3-4 but we'll see, it may only be 2-3. If our first two are boy/girl or girl/boy, and we have 3-4, we may just wait to find out for the rest.

How soon is everyone waiting to tell people? Right now only me and OH know, and one of my best friends. I have another friend who will probably figure it out soon enough... Everytime I'd tell her I had good/exciting news etc she'd say, "You're finally pregnant aren't you?!" In October I broke down and said "No but we're trying." They literally live two minutes away so we get together for dinner and game night a few times a month. She'll figure it out when she sees I'm not drinking wine.

This is our 5th, and we've found out with each one. We didn't think we would be having any more, so we had gotten rid of EVERYTHING baby. Even our crib! So, I can def say we will be finding out. I think this one' a girl. No reason, just a feeling. We have 3 boys and one girl now, so another girl would be fun, but a boy is good too! Just healthy, which is what everyone really wants!!
On another note, anyone been having some shortness of breath? Nothing major, just a little. I read it's normal, body just making baby adjustments. Really annoying though! Hope everyone is feeling well. I've been pretty fortunate, no ms so far!

 

[Luvspnk31]

Anyone know how to get rid of the code snippet thing above my tickers? Didn't know that would show up!

 

[flyingduster]

We didn't find out with our first, and almost everyone reckoned he'd be a boy, as did the Chinese gender prediction thing, and obviously he was. For this one I am happy to not find out, but at the same time I want a girl so I dunno if I will wait or not!! Lol.

And everyone knows for us. I would have waited until Christmas, but my mum and sister (who I adore) just happened to come and visit mere hours after getting my unexpected BFP, so I simply couldn't hold it in!!! So with them told, we then told the rest of the family, and then we figured it didn't matter keeping it secret so did the whole Facebook announcement too. Lol

 

[hopefulfor1st]

On my lunchbreak at work- best thing about December is I can hide my bloat in an Xmas shirt!
We will find out and I think if its a boy well everyone and if its a girl well say we didn't find out and everyone can find out on the day! I'm just worried if its a boy there will be some disappointment (as much as I'd love him!) and I don't want that on baby's birth day so ill announce it earlier if it is. But if its a girl I want it to be a surprise on the day! (Ill deliver by scheduled cs so the arrival day will be no surprise!)
I have my first doctors appointment tomorrow which I'm a bit excited for! Even though they don't really do anything lol.but it's getting the ball rolling!

 

[AerisandAlex]

lol it happens

Just simply go back into your signiture and actually read through the coding.. eventually you'll find the wording in the sig

Just simply delete everything EXCEPT for what's inbetween the

[img] and [/img]

After that, you should just have the tickers and nothing else

 

[Luvspnk31]

Thx! Here's hoping it works!

 

[Luvspnk31]

We'll not sure why only one showed??

 

[Luvspnk31]

Trying it again, lol

 

[mrsswaffer]

We are going to tell our parents and siblings on Christmas morning. I'll be about 7 weeks by then, which is when we told them last time (Facebook not until after the 12 week scan!).

Yesterday, I bought a 6-12m t-shirt for our son yesterday. It's got the attached slogan on it. We'll wrap it and leave it til last on Christmas Day, then get our parents to 'help' our son open it.

 

[LittleMinx]

Morning all...

Happy 5 weeks Hopeful

We will find out the gender I'm too impatient not too xx
