November Rainbow Babies

[B&LsMom]

I agree with babyjo!! Totally appropriate for a 2nd time daddy!!

i had the strangest dream last night! i dreamt that OH and i were at the doctors having and ultrasound done. Only except the ultrasound machine she was using something that looked like a tazer (it was giving little shocks all over my belly like static electricity) but it was producing there ultra detailed and clear images of the baby! Finally she moved it down to find out the sex and....the baby was wearing a DIAPER!! The doctor didnt seem concerned at all that my child was wearing a diaper in utero, in fact she kept saying "aww look at the cute froggies on the diaper" i kept asking how it got a diaper on it?? lol well anyway i told my OH about the dream and now he's convinced we're having a boy. Not to mention my thread in 2nd tri about guessing the gender everyone said boy. I guess we'll have to wait and see! And I couldnt stop laughing about my crazy dreams

Dancing that is hilarious. What a trip.
Now onto skulltheory, I would actually say girl. There is another thread in 2nd tri where I posted a diagram of the theory, which I am just learning about. But it seems boys have a ski slope for a forehead and girls foreheads are more flat with no slope. Looking at your avatar, I don't see a slope. I would post the diagram here. It I'll have to do it later as I'm currently on my phone.

I would love to see the diagram--that would be great!! My sis in-law said she had the most vivid dream of her whole life that we were having a boy--I guess we will find out in 7 weeks, but I'm kind of having baby girl fever after my other sister in-laws baby shower last weekend--so many cute shoes and outfits for her little girl!!

 

[Dahlia2007]

Here's that diagram!
With the male you'll notice a ski slope for forehead leading down to eyebrow. Females have more of a straight-up forehead

OK so I'm guessing girl for my little one---as if I REALLY know anything

yes, I would say girl for yours
and after looking at mine I would say girl too f'x lol
I just don't see a sloping forehead on our ultrasounds, so yeah.

I have another theory for you ladies...
You have to have had an early ultrasound between 6-9 weeks,
Transvaginal- placenta is located on the left= girl. Placenta on the right=boy.
Abdominal scan- then you flip it- right is a girl and left is a boy.
I looked at my 6w3d transvag and it was on left. So I'm holding onto some hope.

Ugh, so last night we DTD, and I don't think we took it easy enough, even though it wasn't rough or anything, but afterwards my DH was like "Uh, I see some stuff". So turns out I was spotting this really light watery brownish/light pink color. It was only right after the sex, and didn't continue into the night or anything. But of course I was freaking out. DH told me not to worry because he said he heard the doc say that if it happens, just to cease the sex and "take it easy." So all's good now.

It's Memorial weekend for us here in the US and I can't wait to get my eat on ! I bought some new hot dog type things. They're actually Johnsonville turkey sausage with cheddar. I add a little relish and mustard and it's delicious, YUM!

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[B&LsMom]

Hmmm I did have a 8 week U/S but I don't remember them saying where the placenta was--Can you see if from the pic?? This last ultrasound it was on the left so its pretty unlikely that it would have moved right. And both were abdominal (8 & 12 week) so then that would indicate boy...??

I just bought this set that was on sale if anyone is interested. Walmart in the US has a sale on Graco complete nursery solution set. It's a crib with a trundle, a glider and a 3 drawer dresser that is the proper height to put a changing pad on it, all for only $299.00 where I am located. It's on sale, usually $349.00. The espresso color is sold out, with no info on when it will be back in stock but the cherry and white colors are still available. I think it's a steal of a price! (it has good reviews too)

 

[DancingSheba]

our pool opened up this weekend for memorial day. i got sunburned!!

 

[Dahlia2007]

blakesmom- a bit of a mystery then for the sex. That placenta placement theory was around 97% accurate, so idk!

Klein, do you have a link for that set? We already have DD's crib, and then a glider that I want to refinish, so I'd just be curious. Mostly interested in a dresser, that I'll probably get from Walmart. I wanted a longer dresser for changing, etc.

Dancing- We went to my mom's community pool on Monday and I was so relieved to see that hardly anyone was there! Must have all been on their yachts or something. lol. I got a nice tan, DH got a little burnt. I loved being in the water. Did you "look pregnant" to the outsiders? I wore my tankini and swim skirt, and I think I looked usta a bit chuby in the tummy rather than pregnant.

Oh gosh- have to vent. Went to the library to return my almost 1 month overdue books and the fee was $120 no kidding! Got them to take it down to $60 but good Lord!!! I am basically in tears as I was leaving. I paid $20 there, and will send in a check later today for the rest. What a complete waste of money. Learned my lesson : ( uber pissed

 

[DancingSheba]

oh my god thats so expensive! i didnt think the charges were that much. I can't believe that. And i don't think i looked pregnant to anyone. just that i ate too many donuts.

Goodness Gracious those are some hefty late fees!! How much would it have cost to just keep the book?? I'm sure it wasn't a $120 book!! Or even a $60 book!!

 

[Dahlia2007]

Well, the books were for my daughter, all 16 of them. So it adds up when they're almost one month late. eek

I've begun to feel really good about this pregnancy, so I'm really happy about that. Finally letting go of that worry.

My brother and his GFs twins are still fighting along. I helped him order her a mother's day necklace from Etsy, and it just arrived yesterday. It's two peas in a pod with the babys' initials on a leaf. She loved it!

Well, time to get some housecleaning done while DD is at preschool
Anyone with kids realizing they have to start downsizing on all the toys? DD just has so many and the room we plan on using for baby is her toy room now. I need to organize and move a bunch of crap into the basement.

Hey ladies! Just popping in to say hello :wave: Interesting skull theories! I had a scan today and it was all good. Dr. tried to get a peak at the privates, but it is early and baby would NOT stop wiggling around the whole time! Anyways, here's a shot from today Hope you all are doing well! Oh and I've been totally off prog for a week now and so far it's been fine.

Here's a shot of the baby today at 14+5

Tuckie-So glad you had a good scan today. Glad your progesterone transition is going well too. I know that's a big worry for most.

Dahlia-I'm so glad the twins are still fighting and mom loved the necklace. I can't imagine the stress and concern they are under. What's the latest with the twins? Any improvements or set backs? How old are they now?

I too am feeling better about the pregnancy, like there for real could be a baby at the end of it! Hubby is starting on DS's new room and I'm going with a graffiti theme for DS who is will be 13 in July! Then once it's done we can start on the nursery. One thing at a time lol!

I'm feeling a good bit of baby movement now. Can anyone feel any external movement yet? I can't remember when DH should be able to feel anything.

Oh that is a lot of books to be tallying up for late fees--at least they halved it but I still think that is outrageous!! That sounds like a beautiful necklace you helped to pick out!! Wish my DH's sisters would help him with stuff like that

Tuckie--Great scan today!!--Do you have another scan scheduled to find out if its a boy or girl??

 

[babyjo]

Hey ladies,

I'm so glad that we can feel more confident about our pregnancies. I saw my midwife for a check up yesterday and asked her why is my tummy sooo much bigger than most. There has been no mistaking I'm pregnant for a while now. Even my friends husband took one look at me and said I'm going to be huge!
She told me not to worry it's because I am very "small framed with narrow hips" so my internal organs need to go somewhere...... There were lots of birth posters in the waiting room....erm! I don't think it's good to have "narrow hips"! Oh dear! I refuse to start freaking out about the birth just yet but yikes!

Tickie I'm glad your scan went well. Are you going to have another scan to find out the sex.... 2 1/2 weeks till I see my bubs again on a scan. When's everyone else's scans?

I don't feel any movement yet! Can't wait for that! DH talks to my bump which is cute.
Ive Been busy recently planning lots of socialising for the Queens Jubilee 4 day weekend coming up! It's going to be lots of fun!

 

[babyjo]

Oooo I'm an onion...
