November Sparklers 2014....22 boys, 22 girls born! Please update us!

[cncem]

Congrats Twinklie, girls are fun, but then boys are too!!! And thanks ladies, everything went great, she is still a she (lol) and all her organs are in the right place and perfect, perfect lips so no cleft palate (another "one born" baby had one, doc told me to stop watching those shows and worrying lol), she is 11 ounces and absolutely perfect, heart beat still 145 bpm. Long wait at the appt though, two hours and poor hubby had to stand the whole time just about. We saw a lady come out in a wheel chair and crying, poor lady prayers go up for her. Apparently we were the first couple to not have any problems with baby today, and doc was so happy to be able to give good news.

Good luck on yours mwel, I can't believe your going to wait longer to find out after you could know! I couldn't wait. That is the good thing about being "high risk", I see a specialist for a scan once a month.

Dizzy those letters are so cute!! I wish I were crafty like that. I love the name Kella btw, Kella Marie is so pretty, and unique.

Awww that would be hard. To have a day full of bad news. But I'm so happy to hear that yours went well. It will be hard to wait...VERY hard but I think it will pay off in the pictures of us opening the box and the balloons flying out. I will have that surprised face photo for life to look at. lol! I love pictures!

 

[Princesskell]

That's going to be amazing with the balloons!
So how do you organise that? Who knows the gender and sorts the balloons? We don't really do gender reveals over here. Xxx

Congrats on the good news at your scans ladies. Nice to hear good news about our November babies. Can't wait to have my anatomy scan July 9th!

I wish I had the patience to wait for a gender reveal party, but I wanted to know as soon as possible. My ultrasound tech was able to tell me the gender at my 12 week scan, and those results were confirmed again at a private gender scan when I was 16 weeks.

So it's kind of complicated but I'll explain. We tell the ultrasound tech that we don't want to know and have her put the gender in an envelope (double enveloped of course). Then I rush back to work and hand off the envelope to one of my coworkers (A really sweet older lady who has always been there for me and prayed with me for this baby) who then emails the results to a friend back home (about an hour away from where I live now) who then fixes up a box with blue or pink balloons in it. At the end of the party my hubby and I will open the box to reveal to everyone including ourselves what the baby is! I'm attaching our Gender Reveal invite. I love it so much. lol!

Oh wow that is really early! My hubby is an ultrasound tech and he said he wouldn't EVER tell someone their gender before 16 weeks...maybe 14. He said it's so hard to tell before then.

That's a great gender reveal, mwel. How exciting! Mine consisted of OH sending a text message while I was still in the middle of the scan.

I agree, 12 weeks is super early, but everyone at my doctor's office said she is usually right. She said that she goes off the "angle of the dangle" of the private parts at that stage, which of course she told us isn't a sure thing. That's why we still told our selves there was a possibility it could still be a boy. I can't believe she was right though, she is leaving my doctors office soon. I don't even know if she will still be there for my scan in July. I hope the new tech is as good as her. I selfishly wish she would wait until after I have my baby to leave.

Oh I bet! I would too! I would probably tell her that. lol!

mwel, I went to my prenatal doctor and they did an advanced type ultrasound at 15weeks 4days and told me it was a girl. That is why I said she is still a she, lol. Seems sometimes they could get it wrong at that early of a scan. I admire you for waiting for a gender reveal, my best friend wanted me to throw one, but the day I found out I blabbed it to anybody and everybody. I asked the doc to tell me. I'd have never been able to hold out long enough. It would be worth the wait though, I saw pics of a lady at her gender reveal party when she cut a cake and it was pink the look on her face was priceless. Makes me wish I could have waited. The balloons idea is so fun! My other friend did that general idea.

 

[Leinzlove]

I'm confident in my 14 week scan (measured 13+6)... If they are wrong I'd be shocked... Look at this potty shot.

But before that not so sure. At 13 weeks they won't give you a money back guarantee and they won't predict before that.

My hospital won't predict before 18 weeks.

 

[Twinklie12]

Thanks ladies! I am still in shock!

 

[Leinzlove]

I'm not! I'm sooooooooooooo happy!

 

[Twinklie12]

My tech said she's not allowed to say she is 100% sure but she says she has no doubt it's a girl. We saw the typical "three lines" very clearly.

 

[cncem]

^Yes, my ultrasound tech said something about the "3 lines" today too, when I asked if the we are still having a girl. I was so happy when I found out too, I'll never forget it. I loved having a son and cherish him, he is so polite and caring, always saying "bless you mommy" when I sneeze or "sorry mommy" when I bump my toe on the table even though he nothing to do with it. I'm surprised whenever he says things like that and he always tells me he loves me and makes sure to give hugs and kisses before bed if he's tired and going to bed early. He potty trained pretty easy too, but then my daughter came home from daycare one day at the age of 2 and just went potty on the potty and never wore diapers from then on. I love having a girl but I loved having my son too, and was so happy when I found out his gender. I talked to two ladies having boys today and I thought about all of these things and told them so. I'm just pretty tired and rambling, trying to avoid going to bed. I've been having super bad dreams lately, the kind you wake up from almost crying and have to lay there for a bit till you calm down. Today I had a dream that someone took Macie away from us at birth and I was just going to visit her in a children's home for the first time when she was 16. I don't know where that one came from, but it was really sad I'd missed out on watching her grow up. I know bad dreams are normal with pregnancy, but with those and the pain from carpal tunnel as well as waking up with back pain, I'd just as soon not sleep, thank you very much, lol. Well, off for a warm bath and night night. Good nite ladies, or good afternoon to you ladies on the other side of the world.
