August Mummies 2011 - 28 baby boys, 14 baby girls, and 4 beautiful angels so far xxx

[Mummy~L]

Auntbug - great news that you have a happy, healthy little wriggler!

Abs - I dint have any feeling about the sex of the baby until my scan on Weds and from that I now really think we are having another boy! We shall see though, only time will tell!!

Who is going to find out if they have a pink or blue bump??

We found out last time and I want to again but OH doesnt this time!! I have time to change his mind though xx

 

[xsarahbellax]

I definitely want to find out! I'm a total forward planner, I need to be organised & know what to expect.. hate surprises!!

 

[AuntBug]

We'll definitely find out as soon as we can. I think we're having a boy, but DH thinks I'm nuts, he said he we guess after the u/s lol

 

[abs07]

Its driving me crazy already - I definitely have to find out!

 

[Leann83]

Me too, don't think I could wait! Neither could my parents, they've 5 grandsons so are hoping for a girl! Quick question for you all, when are you ladies going to tell (or told already) friends etc your news? We don't know whether to tell people after 12 weeks or 6 months before due date, which I suppose would be 14 weeks?

 

[Kylarsmom]

i told at 8 weeks, lol. but i had just got my scan and everything was fine. i def dont think there is any need to wait til 14 weeks you should be safe at 12

 

[xsarahbellax]

Once I've had my 12 week scan on Tuesday & know everything's ok, I'll tell work (which will be a relief!). After that we'll tell everyone else. My parents & brother & two close friends already know, but are sworn to secrecy! Xx

 

[Mummy~L]

We have told most of our families and a few friends but its not really public knowledge yet! Dont know why we just haven't really got around to telling everyone yet!! hehe x

 

[Mummy~L]

Oh my boss already knows too! So haven't got to wortty about telling work anymore x

 

[TTCNumbertwo]

We told everyone right after our first scan which was at 10 weeks- just couldn't hold it in any more! I think we'll be finding out the gender of this baby, we didn't with DS, so we figured we would with this one!

 

[sunshinegirl]

Hey everyone, I am hoping for a boy but can't wait to find out. I have my 4th scan on Monday. Do you think 14weeks is still too early to tell. DH would like a girl so one of us is right.

I have told everyone from the moment I found out. All work collegues and salon clients know my history of miscarriages so they have been a fantastic support. I even had a client walk in yesterday took one look at me and says wow your pregnant congratulations. I was like oh who told you not that I mind cos everyone knew but she said NOBODY i CAN SEE FOR MYSELF THAT SOME BUMP YOU HAVE GOT THERE. I was so happy somebody has spotted my little bump at last

TJW I just want to say brilliant job with the group thread glad you took the new thread on.

 

[abs07]

We told people at 8 weeks only because we were going away on a big ski trip with a group of friends. I couldn't ski, drink or use the hot tub so I had a lot of explaining to do! If it weren't for that we probably would have waited until at least 10 weeks. I'm 12 weeks now and most of our friends know including some people I work with!

Thank you SunshineGirl

We told our parents the same day we found out (at which point we thought I was about 6wks) and told them we weren't telling anyone till after the 12wk scan.... however, 2 days later I bursting with excitement and announced it to the world on facebook!!

We now know of course that at that point I was actually only 3 wks!!!

We're going to find out gender this time too. We did with Ruby, and were surprised to be having a girl as all the old wives tales pointed to a boy and I kept dreaming we were having a boy, and then we found out we were having a girl

Gonna find out this time simply to know whether to buy summer dresses or little shorts and tops sets, as it will be the height of summer and I remember Ruby was getting too hot when she wore the onesies in summer so we bought her lots of dresses which helped in the heat for her.


I am soooooo tired today... aneamia is playing havoc at the moment, even though I'm on 800mg of iron tabs a day hope it gets under control soon!! At this rate I'd be more awake if I was asleep!!!!

Sooo happy to hear someone else is as tired as I am. I really go to bed at 7:30 each night & I think my DH is kinda getting sick of it But I have no energy to do ANYTHING past 5pm!

 

[Leann83]

Told parents Christmas Day (we gave them cards saying 'a Christmas hello to Nana and Grandad' and signed it from lil bubba!) so will tell friends and that at 12 weeks I suppose... Well apart from our friends that came up today with their 2 month old baby - the whole conversation was all things baby so we couldn't hold it in and ended up telling them. oops

 

[Vivienne]

I too want to find out gender just so I can plan ahead.
I had to tell close friends and work as I kept vomiting everywhere every time I went out and our friends aren't that stupid!! So it was probably around 6 weeks that I had to spill the beans. After my 12 week scan next week we will make a more general announcement to the world.

We told our families at Christmas, except my mum and gran who knew we were trying so they knew the moment I got my positive! Just had my scan on Wednesday so Facebooked the scan pic to tell the rest of the world! Was great fun reading all the lovely replys

We want to find out the sex this time, didn't with Joshua, but it's killing me wondering! I'm so sure it's a boy, I think I will have to adjust if it's a girl

 

[hannpin]

Hi Mummies!! Dont come on here for a few days, and miss loads !!!

Well officially 2nd Tri now woww can't belive its going so quickly this time round

I am so glad I am not the only one driving myself a little barmy waiting to find out the sex. We really wanted to know last time, but they could not tell at 20 week scan, and we couldnt really afford to pay for a dating scan. But this time I am sooo desperate to find out. I really really really hope they can tell us at 20 week scan, or we will have to be going without food, heat, water or something with the money I will be using to pay for a dating scan!!

 

[Kylarsmom]

so this scan i have on tues, apparently they even do the 3/d 4/d for it! my friend goes to the same dr for her ultrasounds and says they are AMAZING scans and they even told her the sex of her baby at 14 weeks, ill be almost 14 weeks! i am so excited! course, i wont buy anything even if they think they can tell bc its still so early , i know! but i cant help but be excited i may have a "clue" as to the gender! but my luck its legs will be crossed!!
