~*~*~August 2012 Baby Fire Fly's~*~*~

Had my dating scan today! And I have a new due date, August 25th :) They bumped me up to 9+6, 3 days ahead of what I thought! So 10 weeks tomorrow! OMG double digits!

My son thought it was "cool" according to him. My husband got emotional and had a couple of tears. On the way home we stopped for a coffee, and he showed the scan picture to anyone who would look at it lol.

So yes...I am on cloud 9!!! :cloud9:

That is adorable! Love how excited you dh is!! I can't wait for that!!

He tried to hide the teary eyes from me but I caught it :D

He is very excited... he was with a woman for 13 years, from when he was 23 to 36. They tried for 10 years to have a baby, and suffered 3 miscarriages. So today for OH was the realization that yes, he will finally get to be a Daddy!
 
I`m 12 weeks today! Whoop! Whoop! :happydance:

I said this a while back, but I`ll say it again. My due date has been changed to the 10th. Please change me from the 20th to the 10th. Please and thank you.

I have scan on tues, I should be 12 weeks on Monday but sods law I bet I'm back dated for weeks!!! x
 
gorgeous little bean satiffeh :)

My due date was changed to 8/23 at my last scan. Next scan 2/22 at 14 weeks and SO hoping we can get a glimpse of gender. i watched a ton of 14 week scans on Youtube and if it's a boy like I think it is, it should be pretty easy to tell at that time! :happydance: Official gender scan isn't until March 30th!! :(
 
I can't decide whether to go ahead with the gender scan I booked for 3rd March - I booked it because I wanted to know (as you do!) but now I am thinking I should wait for a surprise, its like peeking at your christmas presents before christmas day in a way!

Whats everyone else going to do re having or not having a gender scan?
 
I'll definitely be finding out!

I didn't with my son and found it very frustrating, trying to buy gender neutral. And then for the first few months, because all I had bought was gender neutral clothes, everyone kept asking "is it a girl or a boy?". So this time, we're gonna know in advance!!
 
I quite like baby clothes which are pale green, I think its a neutral colour BUT - if you saw a baby in pale green would you assume its a boy? What about yellow, would you assume girl?
 
I thought green was neutral enough but my mom says it's ALL BOY. She says the only neutral colors are yellow or white. Plus we've decided on Pink/Brown theme for a girl and Green/Brown theme for a boy so she says green is extra-boyish for us.

But it doesn't really matter because we are DEFINITELY finding out the gender, lol. I've thought about not but I just don't have the patience for that! :haha:

Maybe once we've had one of each gender I can be more relaxed about it but I highly doubt it!

I think your DH and my DH need to get together and celebrate. :) My DH was with a women for several years in their early 20s and tried for 4-5 years and never fell pregnant so my DH is THRILLED to finally be a Daddy!!
 
I can't decide whether to find out this time. Last time I was firmly team yellow although I had a very strong gut feeling that I was having a girl. Totally wrong obviously, LOL. This time I am really in two minds. On the one hand it was lovely having the surprise and I would like that again. But on the other hand I sort of feel like I want to know this time. Part of it is that I am secretly hoping for a girl and will be just a teeny tiny bit disappointed if it's a boy. But I'm not sure if it's better to find out in advance so I have time to get my head round it, or if it's better to just wait until the day in which case I know I'll be just so happy that baby is here safely that I definitely won't be disappointed by the gender.
 
We are finding out, I didn't with jake and I did with Paige. I felt I bonded with Paige much more... She had a name and I felt prepared more. I will not be able to wait till August and I have tons of black bags with Paige's clothes in and need to know if I can keep them or swap with a friend who is having a girl, or sell them for boys clothes. Having a girl would be cheaper for us and could share a room with Paige for years to come. But I also would love a boy...I have no preference at all this time round. When I was pregnant with Paige I will admit I was desperate for a girl.

Is it 16 weeks onwards it's best to have a sexing scan ?
 
Yup 16 weeks plus they do gender scans! As soon as I have my 12 week scan on Tuesday I will be booking my gender scan - I found out with my daughter and was so prepared. I need to know whether to sort all her old clothes out etc and to be honest I am just desperate to know!
 
we are not finding out. Didnt with Paige and loved it so will do the same this time round. Although a little part of me does want to know, i remember what it was like when she was born and it makes me want to stay on team yellow :)
 
Yes I'll never deny that when the moment comes and you find out what it is.... what a thrill!
Although I already knew, somehow. I just... knew it was a boy. Enough so that a lot of his clothes were blue!
