Well ladies you could have knocked me over with a feather when the geneticist rang this afternoon because squidge is a.......BOY!! I was pretty convinced I was having another girl since I am carrying almost exactly the same as with Gabriella.

We won't be having any further testing as Gabriella's condition is x-linked and so if on the very slim chance that this baby has IP he would be unlikely to make it past second tri.

We are surprised but really happy. Even though our preference had been for a girl just for Gabriella to have a sister really we are excited to have a little boy

Now we just have to think of a name for him

I sent her a message on Facebook but I haven't heard back from her yet... she's FB friends with Lynnikins, perhaps she knows if she's posted any Facebook updates?

Maisie boys are awesome!

So names...
Haven't a clue.
We had a list of a few possible boys and one girls before, but when he was born the names went out of the window and I got an overwhelming feeling to call him something else! So I did. At a few weeks in I kept thinking of him as the other name and wondered if I'd made a wrong decision however it was only a minor wobble.
Scarlet has since been used by a cousin and is my best friends top name since her top name was used, lol.
I'm hoping to continue the traditional/old fashioned theme so if anyone has any ideas that match Albert "Bertie" Edward then feel free to throw them at me.
Xx

I feel like a bunch of mine (previous page) are old-fashioned enough to match Bertie!

DH and I love Lydia for a girl. For a boy we are thinking Shea. But I'm not sold on the boy name yet.

DH is worried about me taking 2 sets of flights this summer - one at 9 weeks and one right about at 12. He thinks it isn't worth the risk, but I am trying to assure him it's perfectly safe. When he worries, I worry. Today I had meetings at work to discuss pregnancy uniforms and procedures for pregnant women at my job, and now it suddenly feels all too real. Now I am suddenly worried, when all the time before, I was perfectly fine. Ugh. And DH's anxiety doesn't help. He isn't happy with our prenatal care (for not much reason, more about scheduling issues and the bitchy ultrasound tech) but there's nothing I can do about it really, because I have to use the hospital I'm using. They won't let me go anywhere else (Army).

Also if it makes anyone feel better my symptoms are definitely diminishing. Thanks for those who responded to my question about the strange belly pain. I will tell the doctor about it. It's not my skin, it just feels like tight muscles or something, but all throughout the front of my abdomen. I'm not really that concerned about it, just weird that no one else seems to have this issue.

Congratulations Maisie, how exciting!

What's up with Bridget?

 

[Gdef]

We had our first OB appt today and my OB worked us in for an early scan. Turns out I'm a little farther along than we thought. I'm 10 weeks today and the baby's heartbeat was 171 . My new due date is now Feb 12. The Ultrasound tech also happened to be a good friend of our family and flipped on the 4D ultrasound for us as a little treat!! Here's our scan pic from today

Congrats Gdef! Awesome scan pic!!

Megamegan, sorry I didn't see your original question. Belly muscle pain is perfectly normal, especially for first time moms. I remember my muscles hurting quite a bit due to the stretching in the early works. It felt like I did hundreds of situps when I didn't even move an inch. I got back in shape with a flat belly after DD, so I felt it again this time and still feel it from time to time. Perfectly normal!

It's also totally normal for symptoms to start disappearing between 8-10 weeks since your placenta is taking over. My nausea and fatigue stopped suddenly at 8 weeks, I had a u/s a few days later (only due to the cramping and bleeding), and perfectly healthy baby! My nausea has come back in bouts, but it was gone entirely for a few days!
