[Hammed2017]

Hey ladies I'm here. Put me down for July 7th. This is our first and we will not be finding out! I have a gender neutral nursery all planned out!

I wish I was able to hold out to do that. What a great surprise at the end. I know I cannot hold out that long though. I think we are going to find out around hubby's bday

 

[ToriTami]

Hammed I've always thought it would be a great surprise to wait until the end to find out. I'm also looking forward to driving our families crazy with anticipation lol!

 

[TexMel]

Got my dr appt moved up to Nov 22, so hopefully we can get a scan that day and have something to show our family on thanksgiving. I'm so excited! I'll be 7w3d then

 

[MissEyre]

Hi ladies!! I'm excited to be joining the group! I'm got my BFP about a week ago, and am completely unsure of when my due date it. If I calculate by my LMP then my due date would be in June, but I'm 99.9% sure that I O'd late and that my baby will be due in July. I will update with my due date after my first ultrasound.

I have one very busy 2 1/2 year old daughter and am excited to share the next 8 months with you all!

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Yay

Oh how I’d love an early scan! We have to wait until 12 weeks here

Congrats MissEyre

 

[Buffyx]

Welcome to all the new BFP's! I have updated the page

Babybrain - SO great to see you here. Congratations & happy + healthy 9 months to you. I know it is such a scary time being pregnant after a loss.

Unique - we are technically supposed to wait til 12 weeks too, but I always just go and get a private scan to put my mind at ease. It will cost me $150.

Misseyre - no problem! Congrats! My due date is July 1 by LMP, which would give me a June baby because I will be having a csection. I know I ovulated late, which brings me to July 5th

Everyone who is not finding out gender - you are crazy It is still special finding out before baby is born, and it is still a special day when baby is born, even when you know the gender. And people are still happy for you & surprised no matter what. We never share the name choice with anyone

 

[ToriTami]

Buffy - totally agree about the name choice! I'm approaching this pregnancy like I did my wedding, completely ignoring everyone's opinions except DH.

Tex - I'm getting an early scan too on the 14th. I'll be 6 weeks 3 days. The wait is killing me!

 

[StarryEyed88]

Wow congrats to all the new ladies here. Such an exciting time for everyone!!!

Buffy - my doctor and my friends doctor referred us both for dating scan even though we know how far along we are. Not that I’m complaining. I haven’t booked in for mine yet. Waiting to see my new doctor on Sunday to see if I should go at 6 or 8 weeks.

We are the same, we need to find out but name will be saved til after birth. I don’t like the pressure of people telling you if they like the name you’ve chosen etc.

Symptom wise this bloating is crazy. They say you should watch what you eat but I’m eating super healthy, but some nights it gets to a point where it hurts or any pants on my belly is uncomfortable! Any clue as to when this will settle down?

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Totally agree about the names! We didn’t tell anyone the name of my daughter and we will do the same this time. If it’s a boy we’re naming him Tommy after my partners grandad who sadly passed away just before Christmas 3 years ago. Girl we have chosen Sienna, just because we like it although I’d like her to have my sisters first name as her middle

 

[TexMel]

For my son, we didn't even discuss names until around month 7. We settled on a top 3 list and eventually shared those top 3 contenders with both of our sets of parents, but we didn't officially decide which one we were going with until we were in the hospital.

If this one is a girl, I already have a few ideas in mind, but I guess we'all just have to see what happens. One of my good friends juts had a baby girl in the last month and used one of my names I had thought about.

 

[Alligator]

DH and I have already made a bet - I think it's a boy and he thinks it's a girl. The terms are to be confirmed but we are thinking a massage or a nice dinner out or something. 'Loser' (no one is really a loser lol) pays. So that will be kind of fun!

 

[lilmisscaviar]

We already have a name for each, leftover from my previous pregnancies, but I haven't the foggiest idea what I think this baby will be. I usually don't get an idea until after my first ultrasound. I was correct for my last two so I guess we'll see this time lol.

Alligator - I like that idea!

 

[BabyBrain80]

Ive got my heart set on Tarran.....boy or girl. Maybe change spelling for a girl Taryn/Tarryn.

I know a wee dude who races motorbikes called Tarran, hes Scottish and races in Moto2 (series down from Motogp) if anyone follows bikes. Lovely boy and love his name. Very unusual here but think its maybe more popular in north America? Ive already got an Austin (after texas, went there on holiday to watch motogp actually lol) and a Cameron, more Scottish lol.

 

[StarryEyed88]

Unique - I love your names for both !

 

[lilmisscaviar]

If this one is a girl, I already have a few ideas in mind, but I guess we'all just have to see what happens. One of my good friends juts had a baby girl in the last month and used one of my names I had thought about.

Oh, man I hate when that happens. I had that happen with my third baby. Someone I knew wanted to use the same name but thankfully she ended up using it as a middle name.

 

[TexMel]

Babybrain - my son is Austin (also after the city in Tx where my husband and I met and fell in love, and lived for 5 years!) and Cameron was our runner up name -no joke!

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Unique - I love your names for both !

Thank you

 

[Buffyx]

There are some great names & name ideas here I am clueless! But am liking Luna for a girl lately. I have no ideas for a boy. I wanted Leo, but it happened to me as well where a friend recently used it for her little boy.

I NEED to have the name set before the baby is born, so we usually discuss from pretty early on. There is no way I could wait iil the baby is here to decide haha.

Starryeyed - probably 9 months Just wear and do whatever makes you comfortable!

 

[StarryEyed88]

Buffy - no way! We love Luna too!! I always thought everyone would hate it. But our last name ends with ‘er’ so I’m wondering if it will work. I also love Sadie, and Summer.
Thanks for the tip about the clothes
