We had no problems picking a girls name but major stress trying to agree on a boys name. I think, after months of disagreeing, we may have finally decided on a boys name.

It really is difficult. I was beginning to hope this bub is a girl just so we didn't have to pick a boys name. Lol.
 
haha, we are the opposite! We had a boy's name picked out that we agreed on. Now we know we are having a little girl, but CANNOT pick a name. At least we have a while, but it seems like there won't be one we both like.
 
I know that feeling. Lol. OH went out and bought a 100,001 baby names book and we sat down together and each circled names we liked. Him in black ink and me in pink ink. We then made a list of the names both of us had circled and went from there. I hadn't circled some of his favourites and he hadn't circled some of mine so we ignored those and just went through the double-circled names.
 
We cannot pick out a name either! This is the main reason we decided to find out the gender, so we would only have to pick one name, haha. It is so tough.
 
As far as feeling Ripley im starting to really believe I do but it's still very subtle. My dr told me that I have an anterior placenta so it makes feeling her harder and also it doesn't happen as early. I keep waiting to feel her from the outside!

As far as the questions about the reveal, people were both pleased and excited! We did a hairbow or mustache theme. Everyone picked one to wear that went with the gender thy thought I had. The hairbow ran out first! So most people were right!

Sisterrose- I'm so glad you got over that mess!

Lady- congrats on the boy!? I'm not sure I cant ever tell with those lol
 
Congrats Jaymelynn on your boy! I dont know if you have come on here to tell us that already but i dont think i said congrats if you did! :) (its not noted on the front page)
 
Junebug, you are right I didnt, lol. My husband is at sea for the next few months, so I did not want to find out the gender alone. The tech wrote the gender in a sealed envelope. The plan was if he could call me we would open it and find out, if not we would stay team yellow. He often goes weeks/months without cell service. He called me as I left my appointment- so we found out that we are team blue.
 
Well congrats!!! That is awesome you didnt have to wait to long to find out!
 
Thanks for all the congrats! Yes, I am happy we found out. It is funny because I did not have a gut feeling on the gender this whole time, but one look at his face on the screen and I thought "oh its a boy." haha- no idea why.
 
Hey ladies, hope you don't mind me dropping in. I am due October 25th and would like to chat with some that are close to me. The thread is really long, so I am not going to try to catch up.:haha: I will just start from here to get to know all the regulars!
 
:hi: The genetic test I had said girl, but my ob isn't going with it until I have a scan. I won't have that until June 12th. I am hoping it is a girl, but will glady take either of course!

That's such a good idea. We've been through several books but by the time we get to the end we forget what we liked from the beginning! A list is definately required!
 
Does anyone know when you start to 'count the kicks'? Dylan still has really active phases and then quiet ones but I am feeling kicks most days so I was just wondering when we should start keeping track of this. I think we're all prob a bit early still but if anyone knows it would be useful, thanks.

My doctor said you shouldn't worry about feeling baby consistently until 24 weeks. I am not sure if she meant that is when you start kick counting.. or if that is when you should start feeling baby a few times each day. If memory serves, I think around 28 weeks you should be able to count 10 movements in 2 hours.

Congrats on team blue!

Welcome Angel!

I am so ticked off right now, my sister-in-law has a totally dysfunctional marriage with a guy she met while living in Australia and then later moved to India to live with his family, (that is where he is from... they knew each other for a few months and we found out about them getting married when she changed her facebook status.) She has to come back here whenever her visa runs out and stays with her parents... but her husband has these psycho panic attacks every so often and calls our house in the middle of the night looking for her, despite that she is not staying here. This time it was 2:30AM and it woke the whole house up, it took an hour and a half to get our toddler back to sleep and I am still unable to fall back to sleep.

I am SO ANGRY. I am sick of this, I feel like it is completely unfair that her ridiculous drama has to have any impact at all on my family's well being and sleep. I just want to punch him in the face. I've already told him to lose our phone number and never call us, but it seems not to matter when he is desperate to speak to her.:nope:
 
Welcome Angel! I am due Oct. 26th!

Maze- That would make me soooo mad aswell, is there any way you can call Bell or something and get his number blocked?
 
I would totally get his number blocked Maze.

I am not feeling kicks consistently yet at all.
