Gender scan tomorrow! Update: we are team...

[prettybirdy27]

Crazy to believe it's already here, in less than 24 hours we find out if we're pink or blue!

Since the beginning we've hoped girl, but my gut feeling has been boy. I did all the old wives tales and everything came up girl, and I had six girl dreams and zero boy dreams so far. But I was still so sure boy that I started convincing myself that it is a boy so that Im not disappointed at the ultrasound to the point where I've even started talking to the baby and calling them by the boy name we have picked. But for the last couple days I can't stop feeling girl!! Now I really don't know what to expect.

Seems like every time I start talking to them and calling them the boy name, they start kicking like mad. Not sure if I'm completely imagining it, or if they are kicking to say either "Yes mommy, I'm a boy!" or "No mommy, I'm a girl!"

Yay! It's so fun! I had mine today and cried like a baby myself!

If you're hoping for a girl, i hope your guts wrong but mine was right....boy! No preference or specific hope here, but everyone SWORE i was having a girl, but i just kind of knew....i literally started painting the room blue (in fairness its an aqua that could be gender neutral but i just knew....). The wives tales were split on me - heart beat said girl, carrying position boy, Chinese gender thing boy.

Good luck!

I'm sitting here at work and I can't concentrate AT ALL. 8 hours and 40 minutes to go until the u/s. And I absolutely can't shake the girl feeling!

My mother in law is rather peeved with me right now though. About two months ago we made the decision that once we know, we won't be telling anyone until we can have a gender reveal party. We told MIL that, and she responded with "Well I'm a privileged party, I don't have to wait. I get to know right away."

Well yesterday she asked us if we want to meet up right away afterwards so she can finally hear the gender, when I reminded her that we aren't telling until the reveal party. In that moment she finally realized that we were serious, and she sent me a strongly worded text message saying the party had better be this weekend, followed by FOUR skull and crossbones emojis. I guess the emojis show that she means business.

She has two weeks left to wait. I know she is going to be relentless, but this is payback for some of the mean comments she's made to me throughout the pregnancy (like telling me multiple times, "Well, at least you'll be a better mother than a 17 year old crack wh*re.")

Who says that?! Good for you for sticking to your guns!
Good luck with the wait!!

Pink!!
I'm in absolute shock! I wanted a girl the whole time, but I was so convinced boy that I fell in love with the little boy I thought was there. As soon as the tech pointed out the three, clear, unmistakeable lines, instead of being really excited, I felt my little boy slip away. Now I don't know what to think!

Congrats! Sorry about your indecision, but you will love a baby girl just as much.

Congrats on your little lady!

I kind of felt the same, I had a gut feeling I was having a boy, but I second guessed myself (especially when family would tell me, no, you're having a girl, every time they'd ask what I thought I was having) When we saw that baby was an Oliver, we were ecstatic, but I felt a little sad because I opened my heart up to wanting a Charlotte as well. No shame in how you feel.

Congratulations on team pink!! Aww hun that is what im worried about with this baby, im so sure its a girl that when i have the scan if they say boy that im going to have 'lost' my girl even though i wouldnt have actually ever had her there lol its not that i even want a girl more than a boy because i really wouldn't mind either way i just cant imagine the baby being a boy, im sure though once it has properly sunk in you are team pink and you start buying lots of pretty pink frilly things you will feel better xx

 

[prettybirdy27]

Thanks everyone. My husband is absolutely over the moon about a girl, he wouldn't stop hugging me and my belly last night. But I've been on the verge of tears ever since the tech pointed out the three lines. This morning I sat down at my desk at work and realized that I had changed my passwords to the boy name we had picked out about a week ago, and I just sat here staring at my keyboard because I just didn't even want to type it. Eventually I just did it and then changed the password.

I'm starting to get a little more excited about my girl though. I'm just in shock - both in shock that it's a girl and in shock that I feel this way!!

Congrats on your baby girl!

Congrats! We want a healthy baby, but would like a boy. We have 4 more weeks before we have our scan. We decided that we are not just going to tell. We are going to buy little outfits and give them to the moms as gifts.
