February Lovebugs of 2016!! 16 pink, 15 blue, 7 yellow

I like both places. But I like this one especially since it's small, close, and tight knit.

I'm caving and gonna find out. I need to do so for my own mental health. I know that if I wait til the end and find out it's a girl, it's going to throw me into depression because I want a boy so badly. I'm just going to keep it a secret to myself and my best friend, so it'll be a surprise to everyone else.

This is why I couldn't wait. Well, that and I have no patience. It's also why I wouldn't let my friend throw me a gender reveal party. I was worried that if it turned out to be a boy that I would feel momentary disappointment. I did not want people snapping pictures at that moment while I tried to put on a happy face. I'm really glad I didn't let her go through with it too because it took me quite a few days to finally get excited about him being a boy which already made me feel guilty. Had I gone through that in front of all of my family, I would have felt like the worst person in the world.

Ladies,

I hope everyone is doing well!

I have a question. Anyone on previous or this pregnancy that dyed her hair?
My Dr told me I could dye my hair with vegetable hair dye once I reached my 2nd trimester, which nurse confirmed I start today, at 13 weeks.

Just wondering if anyone had high lights, balayage, or regular dye done.
I will call my hair stylist too, but just want your input!

Have a great day!

Britt,
I told my husband that if I get upset or disappointed after we find out the gender, for him to please don't take it against me, that I will probably need some days to start feeling ok, and that this is normal!

But I still have a month to go! I dont want a gender reveal party either!

 

[BrittRashel]

That was a hard thing for me to accept, that it was okay to be disappointed. It took me few days to get over it. Now I'm super excited and I am at the point that I don't even want a girl. I'm very happy with my boys. I think I almost have DH convinced that we could manage having a third kid shortly after this one (he's concerned about the money side of it) and I feel pretty confident that I'm going to want another boy with that one. I like the idea of having all boys.

I've highlighted and dyed my hair with my DD. My dr has said that is is fine to dye or highlight your hair in pregnancy.

I dyed my hair when pregnant with my daughter, and I'll be dying it during this pregnancy too! Midwife told me it's not harmful

I dyed my hair in first tri with my last pregnancy at 5weeks, told my hair dresser and she said it was perfectly fine but she made sure she didnt get much on my scalp

PriandRafa - I haven't yet, but I plan on dying my hair in a few weeks. I really don't want my roots showing on my wedding day.

On the countdown til my 12 week scan... 1 hour 40mins. Im honestly so scared. Don't think my partner understands how scared I am.Trying to hold back tears.

just praying everything is okay.

 

[Kirstiedenman]

I only ever use natural hair dye while pregnant if I decide to do it as the body absorbs all the chemicals that are in the dyes. I am a bit of a hippy though so my views are not for everyone lol.

Loving all the scan pics that you ladies are posting how exciting a few of us movin on over to 2nd tri!!! I am finally going home tomorrow woohoooo!!!! Omg tmi but I am soooo looking forward to having sex with my husband lol. We haven't been aloud to have sex for 9 weeks now and it has been a killer!

 

[Harleyy]

Had my scan and everything was perfect!

How much did everyone pay for scan photos?! mine was £4.50 for ONE picture. Which I thought was abit OTT!

Please can I also get my date changed to the 15th!

Thanks!

You had to pay for a scan pic? I got about 12 of them and didn't pay anything! Must be a difference in location...

 

[PriandRafa]

Harleyy,
congrats on your scan!!! great news!!

writingislove,
I'm not paying anything for the picture! The insurance will bill me later for the ultrasound itself, but every time I went, I received "free" pics.
Actually last time, the lady gave me 3 printed pics and 1 cd with a couple more. And she told me to bring the cd every time I come for u/s, so they can upload the pics there.

So, I went to a hair specialist yesterday for her to see my hair, and she told me she feels comfortable doing high lights, but she believes it is too soon to actually dye. So I made an appt with her next week for high lights only. She promised she will be able to cover / hide the lovely gray ones I have!

Let's see!

I'm having one of those days where I just want to sleep and eat everything. I was meant to be going to the gym this evening but I'm gonna pass.

Everyone with a doppler, would you say it's worth it? I kind of want one, but I can't make up my mind.
