I hate that so much! We didn't get a photo of the twins at our first ultrasound either because I didn't know I had to ask for one. Why wouldn't a mom want a photo??? Seriously why isn't that just automatic?!? Makes me nuts! I have to wait till next month to have a pic

So fun though that you know the gender already!!! that is exciting! I can't wait to know!

Wonder if it's a girl then?!

 

[CharmedKirsty]

How cool that you know what you are having already Staceymxxx and yo_yo. I think I will have another boy.

JM- So glad to hear from you! Fingers crossed for your bfp!

Good luck to all those with scans coming up and congrats to those who have had them and gotten great pics of their little one and/or got to hear the heart beat!! Also congrats to those who have already found out the gender of their little one!

AFM: I am now 12 weeks two days! Can't believe it seems to be going so quickly! All this talk of gender thought I would pipe in that I think I will be having another girl this time... but won't know for sure until gummi decides to make his/her appearance in October! I'm curious as to how many of you girls are planning to stay yellow throughout the pregnancy or if most everyone is finding out? I've been yellow with both of my previous pregnancies and I thought it was so fun! I've got clothes from my daughter and son in storage, so I am covered either way... though the clothes I have from when my daughter was a newborn and up are mostly light spring/summer clothes as she was born in February. :/ So guess I will probably have to get some winter stuff if it is a girl.. but not too worried!

Hope that everyone is doing well and can't wait to hear how the scans go for the ladies who have them coming up soon~~

^ I'm team yellow was with last two as well. I absolutely love not knowing both times I didn't even look straight away, just took in their little faces for a few mins. I'm hoping my eldest is about for the birth this time as I said she can be my mini mw and she can say if it's a girl or boy and help daddy cut the cord
I think another pink at the moment. Which if if is I'm very excited about it love having girlies although they a madams at the moment!! They sense my weakness that I'm exhausted lol.

 

[Kittycat155]

I will not find out. I am not even having US done anyways. I have been buying clothes(used) an am set first 9 months. I will be trailing clearence sales for 9+months clothing as should be able to get things for $1-2 a piece at the season end sales. Need cloth diapers/wipes and a car seat. All else is taken care of lol.

I am completely with you! I understand that some women find it easier if they know beforehand... but for me it is so much more exciting to get to hear for the first time if it is a boy or girl along with their first cries. Once my daughter is a little older, I'd like for her to be part of it, but as she is only 3.. I would prefer her and her brother to sleep through it. She actually did sleep through my labor with my son, woke up just a few minutes after he was born. It was such a sweet thing to see, my baby girl sleepily coming to investigate this screaming little bundle! But it all really just depends on when I go into labor with this one. My mom will (fingers crossed) make it up for the birth, so she will be able to take care of them if they are wide awake.

It's nice that at least a few of us aren't finding out! Surprises are always so much fun!!

I've never had any US with either of my previous pregnancies. With my first my midwifes were a private practitioners, so didn't offer them and with my second, I did all my own prenatal care and took care of all the birthing arrangements myself (well, my DH helped). We were extremely lucky, we were given everything we needed by my first midwife.. clothes, car seat, even a jumper! We've only just really had to start buying clothes for my daughter and even then we still go to thrift stores, etc.

Breast and cloth diapering here! I've breastfeed both my older kids and they were both cloth diapered. My youngest who just turned 15 months is still in diapers, but am working on getting him out of them by October.

I love scans too! I've two next week be lovely for your oh to see the baby on the scan next time.

I'm breastfeeding. I did with my other two girls. Once you get through those first few days, it's great!
I love the cute cloth nappies! Seriously going to look into it. Anyone know if they are easy/hard work?

Nice to see some sticking team yellow! Will be exciting when you hold that baby and find out. I've no will power to not find out!

 

[staceymxxx]

I couldn't hold out i HAD to know lol.....

La Mere, can you explain cloth nappies to me and how they work? like with liners and things? i'm confused x

 

[La Mere]

Stacy- I've never used any of the like g diapers which I've heard are sort of a cross between cloth and disposables. They use liners.

I used bird's eye knit flat diapers, cotton prefolds with plastic covers (several brands and kinds, will compile a list) and a few pocket diapers. The brands of pocket diapers I have are swaddlebees and baby kicks. The swaddlebees can be used with or without an insert as they have a nice little sewn in "pad" where as the inserts IMO should always be used with the baby kicks as they are a thin-ish terry cloth like material made from organic cotton and hemp. I've found them to be quite easy, though with our house being under construction, I've had to use a laundry mat so that makes it a little difficult! I've sent you some amazon links in a message to look at some of the kinds of cloth diapers there are out there! I hope it helps and happy to answer anymore questions you may have.
