Ya'll we need more FB July members!!! Don't be shy!! We can even be pen pals ;D
 
Excellent! I'll send a request through now so (Karen Gunning).
 
Scan today went well, little one seems to be perfectly healthy & measuring well.

My placenta was a little low and they thought it might be covering the exit a bit so I have to go for another scan at 34 weeks just to make sure it has moved. Looking forward to an unexpected bonus scan!

They also confirmed we are having a little girl! We are both over the moon as we both secretly wanted another girl :) :cloud9:

Congrats on the little lady! What a beautiful scan picture <3 I wish my little lady would cooperate to get such a perfect profile shot, lol!
 
I posted some of this on Facebook, but I'm Getting Leo prepared for baby!
Step 1: get him to be excited about a baby, instead of saying he doesn't want a little brother (CHECK!)
Step 2: get him weaned (sorta CHECK!)
Step 3: get him to fall asleep on his own regularly (CHECK!)

We still want to cosleep, but now we're trying to get home comfortable sleeping beside daddy instead of mommy. After he gets used to that were gonna start potty training. He's also getting a baby doll for his birthday for him to learn to love, but I don't think that will even compare to when Brice is actually here..

Potty training isn't that big of a deal since I'm expecting him to regress when the baby gets here, but I'm hoping his sleep won't regress
 
Hollyness - This was about the only decent picture we got as she wasn't all that co-operative! She was pretty constantly wriggling and flipping.

Just wanted to say: Make sure he's ready for potty training because otherwise it's gonna be a very long and frustrating journey for the both of you! Lucas was almost 3 when he potty trained and it was done in about 3 days (at home, then we carefully moved into the going out without a nappy territory), but it really helped that he was ready!
I know you want to get him trained before the baby comes, but it really isn't worth it if he's not ready. - Not saying he isn't, because I don't know him obviously, but just wanted to make sure you realise that! :winkwink:
 
Sorry been MIA!

Just had 20 weeks scan.

:pink:

Although hubby isn't convinced so we're booking a private gender scan.

Hi RedButterfly,

I hope the scan went well!

The radiographers can sometimes get it wrong - at our first child's 20-week scan, the radiographer said it was "probably a boy", though to be fair to her she did also follow it up with "...but if you buy any blue baby-gros, keep the receipts". We had a baby girl four months later.

However, I think the radiographers are right more often than not (and this time around the radiographer seemed a lot more confident, so no surprises expected in the delivery room this time!), and the technicians in private clinics are unlikely to be any more qualified than the radiographer in your local NHS hospital. If there's good reason for doubt then it is fair enough, but it's an expensive option if it's only to dispel wishful thinking.
 
We had a private scan at 17 weeks girl, then at 19 weeks girl again. The first tech was very confident. She had great equipment. :)

He ours on the potty a lot already..He's l we have him pre and flush before his bath since he was around 1 and he has a potty chair he uses too..sometimes he asks to pee but it's usually after he's already done in his diaper, so he's very familiar with it. As far as being ready I don't know what yo even look for haha

It is a girl. I saw the 3 lines myself. Hubby just wants another boy. He was convinced it was a boy from the get go. But I don't mind if he wants to pay for another scan. Means we get to see bubs again!
 
Yay can properly feel him kick now and can even see my tummy move when he does!!! What an amazing feeling!!!!! :happydance: I was worried I'd have to wait ages because of the anterior placenta!!
