Hi ladies. I booked my gender uktrasound for May 24 (a week Sunday)!!! So excited. Just hope everything keeps moving along well.

I had part 1 of the NT test done on Monday, part 2 (second set of blood work) is in a few weeks.

I also had a girl gender reveal dream last night. Fingers crossed!!!

 

[SweetV]

Wow for the girl dreams!!
Celtic - that makes sense now. I'm always afraid to make guesses as I hate being wrong

If I go with my scan dates I'm officially 14 weeks and second trimester today but I like my original due date of 11/12 so I'm sticking with it. I can't believe it's half way to the 3rd tri. It seems to drag but when you look back it goes so quickly.

Hey rainbow mommas! Everything was great with my scan. I'm so happy I have a posterior placenta. Bring on the movement! I hated the anterior placenta with my 2 year old.

I'm measuring one day ahead so my official due date is 13th November

Here's baby nando at 13+5

Embo beautiful!!! congrats!!

Sweet hopefully they check the gender for you at 16 weeks.

Afm my next apt is next week, then I'll find out how frequently I'll be having scans.. I'm hoping that I get one before the anatomy scan!! although i'm so busy with the other 2 kiddos that the next 4 - 6 weeks should fly by!! My older son plays hockey, baseball and soccer and there are 2-3 weeks at the end of may/june where they all overlap... so it's CRAZY!!!!

 

[3chords]

sweetV aren't you having regular u/s? or was that someone else? maybe that was 3chords

I have a requisition for weekly scans, though I'm now trying to go every 10-14 days.

Congrats on baby boy Dill!

SweetV, I'm also sticking with my original dates (because I know 100% that they are correct as we did a FET), last check I was 4 days ahead, but we'll see tomorrow!

 

[klsltsp]

Celtic Well when I saw your post is when I started getting obsessed.. and now my OH is obsessed too lol last night we were looking at the u/s for my 2DS to see if they were different... so hard to tell each angle is a little bit different...hahaha

I am thinking girl but that could just be wishful thinking

Okay Sweet so I'm not crazy !! lol

3chords you know already right? you're having a boy?

 

[Embo78]

Thanks Celtic and Niamh. I was gutted not to get a nub pic. The sonograoher was a miserable cow!!

Hi baby nando :wave:

 

[SweetV]

Em - that's a great picture!! Sorry the us tech wasn't very nice. Mine wasn't either not unpleasant just very proficient and frustrated that baby wasn't cooperating.

klsltsp - that does sound busy. My DH doesn't like it when I do that with DS as he likes to relax and hates having places to be after work. I still try to do one activity with him a week sometimes two. I hope they check gender too!

3chords - weekly does sound like a lot although it would be nice for reassurance. I find out in 2 weeks how often I will be expected to go. My DS was always 98th percentile for height so if they are measuring that (CRL) for gestational age I kind of expect it to be off.

 

[Embo78]

When she was measuring the nuchal fold I made sure I loudly explained to Gav what she was doing. But really she should've done that. In the UK we don't have a doctor explain the ultrasounds to us, the sonographers are supposed to. There wasn't any conversation with her what so ever. Oh we'll never mind. Nando was really cute and kept waving at us

 

[klsltsp]

yeah Sweet your DH sounds like my OH.. he hates being out after work, I usually do all of the activities. My older DS is 8 so it's not too bad... we let him do extra hockey this spring to try it out.. not sure that we'll do that again... and then soccer is only once per week all summer so I hate to cut that out... it just sucks when they all overlap for a couple of weeks...next week we have Mon- baseball, Tues - hockey, Wed - baseball, Thurs - soccer, Fri/Sat/Sun hockey tournament... lol man... I haven't even told OH yet because he will be furious I've been prepping him that the next few weeks are crazy.. but then come mid june we will be good at only 1 thing per week..

Embo glad nando was cute and waving.. too bad the tech was terrible! Ours aren't allowed to tell us anything, but if you pay close enough attention you can see the measurements

 

[3chords]

3chords you know already right? you're having a boy?

Yes, we did PGS so we know what sex the transferred embryo is. Actually all of our PGS normal embryos came back as XY, kind of interesting.

SweetV - yeah, I'm finding weekly to be a lot so extending to closer to biweekly. It's really not for medical reasons, but I have the requisition to use up to 20 weeks for reassurance. I think after that I'd only go in for one more scan at 32 weeks, unless my existing fibroids grow more, in which case I'll be going every 2 weeks I think.

I do also have a rented hospital doppler which gives me reassurance between scans.

 

[Embo78]

Just wanted to post our Facebook announcement here. My hubby is so good

 

[kwynia]

Super cute!

 

[CelticNiamh]

Just wanted to post our Facebook announcement here. My hubby is so good

That is brilliant love it !!! what was the reaction

 

[Ladybirdgb]

Wow congrats ladies on all your scans and all them boys my goodness xxxxx

I am next due for a scan on the 11th June so want to book another private one to sneak and find out what I'm having but would rather put the cost of the scan towards a pram sooooo want to find out tho.

I'm nearly 16 weeks and feel huge already God knows what I'm going to be like at 36 weeks lol

 

[SweetV]

Em - here the techs aren't allowed to tell you anything. They usually have a sign going in and a sign in the office that lets you know they are not by law allowed to disclose results, including fetal sex and to see your doctor. Sometimes they will be really mean and not even tell you the gender but most times they will either show you or tell you. Your FB announcement is so sweet!

klsltsp - We have had times like that as well. My kids are in Kumon and my stepdaughter does Tae Kwon Do so there was one Saturday that we had swimming, kumon and TKD one right after the other. DH was so mad I took the kids out of swimming and asked his ex to take over TKD since it is something she signed her up for. Lately I haven't had the energy to do anything after work so I don't think I could take on extra.

3chords - That's amazing that they would do that for you.

Lady - I feel huge already too. I'm worried what the third trimester has in store since with a chance for IC I'm too anxious to exercise.

 

[Embo78]

Niamh the reaction has been great. Lots of people commented that it's the best announcement they've seen. My hubby is quite modest about it but I think he's such a talented graphic designer. I'm glad I let him have his way with this one! My idea was sweet but it's been done lots of times before

 

[Ladybirdgb]

Lol em just seen your Facebook announcement that is just cool I didn't actually announce mine as my step brother and his wife had announced theirs only a week before with the scan pictures an all I didn't want to steal their thunder so just started mentioning baby related stuff my friends got the idea xxxxx
