awww congratulations xx

Its so crazy i feel like it might happen now! How is everyone else? Have you told family yet, we told dh parent and our closest friends, everyone wants to help in some way with baby gear. My bf had twins in dec and already has a bag of stuff for us, another has a car seat barely used. I love recycling!

 

[Leffy]

We have told everyone because I need the support and im covered in bruises and people would realise anyway, I look like an abuse victim! I prefer people to know because it stops all the silly comments and questions too.

We have been given a few bits too its nice to be able to reuse things x

 

[merristems]

Why so many bruises leffy? Blood tests?

Why so many bruises leffy? Blood tests?

Ah, no I have Lupus Anticoagulant which makes mty blood clot and the treatment is daily clexane injections and aspirin so i have injection site bruises and i bruise more easily which is gross!

we let the cat out of the bag this weekend to extended family and more friends. its a big weight off my shoulders to constantly have to think of excuses why im not drinking or doing certain things.

 

[merristems]

Yes we have told most friends we want knowing and nearly all the family bar one or two! It is a relief to tell people! Everyone was like oh yeah we wondered why you wouldnt drink at xmas, why you were so tiered etc!!

I'm talking about skull theory lol

We announced it on facebook a couple of weeks ago when I was 10 weeks. So pretty much everyone knows unless they don't have a facebook...lol!

I let my son listen to the baby's HB today, and he was so cute! He kept saying "baby heartbeat"! I'm sure he doesn't really understand since he is only 2 1/2, but he was excited!

Tell me more... i have been thinking boy mostly

 

[Crystal5483]

From what I've ready girls have a more pronounced forehead while boys have more of a flat forehead.

 

[merristems]

[Crystal5483]

I was suppose to have a private scan this weds but the techs grandfather passed away! so now it's postponed. At least now I know she'll be able to tell for sure by the time I go back.

 

[merristems]

Sad about your tech but yes things will be more developed by then. Do you have any idea what sex yet?

 

[Crystal5483]

Based on people's votes majority says girl

 

[Hope1409]

Any gender guesses ladies?

 

[KelseyK]

Hey everyone!!

I had my NT scan yesterday and everything was PERFECT!! The tech made a gender guess based on the nub and she guessed I'm secretly hoping shes wrong but I bet it's a boy! I'm just so happy that baby looks healthy Baby was in this position the whole time, I thought the spine had to be straight to really get a good nub guess? Whos knows though! Any guesses?
