[Tulip]

TBF we know the flavour and still have a yellow-themed nursery. It was always going to be animal-themed because we love our nature

I have to say that I do understand why people want to be prepared and one of my friends was sick to death of beige and cream by the time baby arrived but I think that there are some better gender neutral nurserys etc now. The nursery I want is hodge podge!! It's so bright and cute and defo for either sex - I would probably have the same even if I did know the sex!

I'm going to get a little blue outfit and a little pink outfit I think to pack in my hospital bag.

Wow it's all so exciting! X

You know thats what my friend done hun she didnt find out i think its a good idea are you finding out hun ? xxx

Glad to hear it, Tibs! I knew you were worried about this milestone!

Just want to point out that aqua blue is a very unisex sort of color too... Its a blue, but not a "baby boy" blue necessarily!

I am going to find out the gender at our 19 week scan. DH and I talked about it and don't feel it's any more of a surprise to find out at the scan than it is to find out in the delivery room. We haven't started talking about names and will probably wait until 3rd tri to even start making some lists. I would rather see the baby before deciding on a name. For now it will just be our little bubs.

Yeah I talked it over with the hubby, and I think we decided to find out. For lots of different reasons. And who was I kidding, I have no patience. Haha

Three more weeks til our scan, but I think team yellow. Thanks so much for your thoughts on this both ways, ladies! And thanks for not attacking Neens!

Our nursery and all our equipment and gear will be gender neutral anyway - I'm with Nic - animals all the way! I'd like to be able to reuse for (hopefully, fingers crossed) our subsequent children anyway. I suppose the same goes for baby clothes anyway! We hope to have one or two afterwards, plus then my little sister can use some of the stuff when she's ready too.

I completely lack patience, but in some ways, I'm just not ready to find out yet, you know? Maybe that makes no sense but I'm not there yet.

I'm also all for gender neutral decorations and such. We have always wanted two kiddos, and I'd hate to get all...say pink and have a boy the second time. Plus, I love animals and those go either way.

Thanks TB! Happy 8 weeks to you! Every milestone feels like a huge success!

AFM-I booked a private gender scan for Saturday October 16th at noon (Ohio time). I am so excited. I am with Deb and some of the other gals, I am way too impatient not to find out and all of the people in my life also want to know so I think it will make everyone happy all the way around.

I totally understand the reasons for not finding out and think it would be so amazing to not find out until the baby is born. More power to those of you who have patience and are able to wait, I'm sure that moment will be well worth waiting for. As far as names go, I think that once I know the sex of the baby that I will have a short list with 2 or 3 favorites and then will see what my heart says when I look into my baby's eyes for the first time.

Thanks for doing the milestones Tibs xxx

TB - yeay!

Hope everyone is ok today. I'm good - I can't tell you what having the doppler has done for my state of mind this past week. I know that I am very lucky to have found the HB every morning since the day I first tried it. The only bad thing about that is that I will truly panic if one day I can't find it. But I will cross that bridge if/when I come to it.

I have 3 sleeps until my NT scan and i'm nervous that everything is ok. My fear has now shifted slightly due to the doppler - previously I would have been worried about baby still being alive - due to the 2 MMC's I've had and them only being diagnosed at the first scans. Now the fear is more about if baby is ok - chromosomally (sp?) - do you understand what I mean?

I might need hugs these next couple of days ladies! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Just poking my nose in to see how everyone is! Things here have been busy, and I've been overwhelmingly thirsty, chugging water and lemon perrier like I'm hanging in the Sahara. Very excited about my parents getting back into town next weekend and sharing the news (though we may wait until our NT scan on the 14th) and finally hitting the big 12 weeks this Tuesday. No bleeds since the one in August, and I'm feeling good, but wishing we could have a boring week for a change, I'm feeling sort of pooped. I've bought foodie supplies for a batch of brown rice pudding, hoping to meet the pesky bread & cereals quota. Hope everyone's having a fantastic weekend out there! X to all the bellies and good luck to all this week's scanees! Cheers...

Hugs Neen and yay Bumpy for 12 weeks on Tuesday!
