I'm leaning slightly towards boy just because DS is the only boy on DH's side of the family (him plus 4 nieces and DD). But I know DD really wants a sister.

I never wanted a minivan, the sliding doors freak me out with tiny hands getting squashed. But I'm not comfortable having a small child in the 3rd row (as I wouldn't be able to reach them from the front) and having the second row of an SUV full of car seats kind of limits access to the 3rd row. Plus we have 2 dogs (1 small and 1 medium), so cottage trips would be crampy. To handle the door issue we got a newer one with the auto open/close, so I'm good with that.
 
We rent too so no major house changes for us until after baby is here, our lease is up in October and wont find out till then if we can renew or have to move. I am hoping renew!!

We are happy either way, just healthy!
 
It’ll be interesting to see if we both end up as we’ve envisioned Dandi, or if our OHs will get their wish :lol:

Oh Oreo, 3 teenage girls sounds scary :o :haha:

Aww, it’s gonna be interesting to see how many girls/boys we all have in the group. I find boys more ‘common’, in Finley’s due date group there were more boys born than girls.
 
Foosh- what kind of car do you have?

amy- Yeah, i'm scared *bites nails*
 
we had a 2013 kia rio hatchback and a 2005 ford freestyle (later called Taurus xl), we are changing to a 2018 kia sedona
 
Ha, Dandi I hadn’t read this until just now and we’ve literally just had this conversation!!!
I’m the same as Dandi. I would like a girl if I could choose but I’d be very happy with a brother for Finlo, as there will be just 19 months between them and I think that would be so nice. My DH isn’t too bothered but he’s a bit put off girls by my crazy niece!
 
We rent so can’t make any major changes house wise but we did move our oldest into the small bedroom and our daughter into the bigger room so she could share with the baby. Obviously we never got to bring him home so now she has a huge room all to herself lol! But the plan is to split it down the middle and have this baby in with her but I normally have my babies in with me for 6 months to a year (2 years with our daughter!) so she’ll be in there alone still for at least another 18 months haha!

We are getting a 7 seater car soon though as our current car is about 15 years old and will not pass it’s next MOT in a few months as it needs a few hundred pounds worth of work doing and it’s aimply not worth paying that much when that would cover the deposit on a new car.

As for the gender, at the beginning I had a strong boy feeling but as time went on I was getting a more girly vibe. I am still swaying towards girl but I’m sitting on the fence slightly.
I don’t care about the gender at all, I just want to bring this baby home! But we do have a girls name picked but not a boys as we can never agree!!!
 
We just got a new car, upgraded from a sedan to a Ford SUV, so we'll be fine in that department. As for renovations, we'll be converting some space in our bedroom into a nursery as we have a massive bedroom, DH thinks we should take a third of our room and just build a wall and a door, that way the nursery will literally be in our room with just a wall separating us. I don't think I'll be comfortable with that idea as it will be my first born. As for gender, we're both thinking it'll be a girl (because almost all the kids in our families are boys except for one), but we'll be happy with either
 
I'm also renting so can't do renovations which suck I love all that, I've got 3 girls one boy so I'm hoping for a boy but either is totally fine by us, we have a name for each Alexander for a boy and Evelyn for a girl x
 
Ahh I love those names Cat! For a girl we’ve got Ivy, but stuck for boy names. We like Oscar but it’s so common I don’t think I’d use it.
 
I’ve got ‘Piper Raine’ for a girl :pink:

We have sort of got a 5 letter theme going on in the family so want to keep that going :)

As for a boys name we just cannot agree! I hate all the names he picks and he hates all the names I pick! Middle name would be Paul after my dad but that’s as far as we’ve got. I love the names ‘Wyatt’ and ‘Bodhi’ but he doesn’t.

So I’m sort of hoping it’s a girl or the poor little baby won’t have a name!!!
 
I love those names Cookie! :cloud9:

I’m curious, not sure if you guys know but obviously I haven’t had a period since october.. so they’d calculate EDD on my miscarriage wont they? The date I used for my ticker is the day I stopped bleeding, will the midwife use the date I started miscarrying?
 
all those name are lovely.

We have a few girls names we both like, so we aren't really worried about a girl. For a boy though we get stuck. We had trouble coming up with DS's name and our little angel was a boy, so this would be the 3rd time picking a boy's name. We are all over the place. I like names that have options for nick names so our kids can pick or change what people call them if they outgrow one but I like a few that are stand alone names. I have no idea what DH's criteria are, he suggested Gary for our first...? Anyway, on our list we have Alexander, Christopher, Nicholas, Theodore, Oliver, Emmett, Wyatt, Philip, Nathaniel, Caleb and Felix.

anytrisha, I think they will go by the first day of full flow bleed, but they'll probably need to do a dating scan to figure it out since you don't necessarily have a regular cycle following a mc.
 
Do you think they’ll do a dating scan? Considering even if I concieved as soon as I started bleeding I’m still under 12 weeks? I really hope they do a dating scan..
 
we're in different countries, so I don't know what the practice is where you are, but here they would. the reason I was given for doing dating scans earlier (between 8 - 12 weeks) when conception is unknown is that during that timeframe most babies are developing at the same rate, after that they tend to see a lot more variation in size. :shrug:
 
Lilfoolish I have Alexander as our boys name so I'm obviously bias. My brother is called Nathaniel and he likes his name xx
 
I’m really leaning towards girl and DH is leaning towards boy. Lol. My daughter of course wants a sister and my son wants a brother, so we are pretty split. We have quite a few names picked out. I think the front runners (for the moment) are Cael (pronounced Kale) for a boy and Paisley for a girl. We will see... I’m sure it will change. Hahaha!

My headaches are pretty regular now like just about everyday. I’m thinking it might be sugar related so I am starting to try to eat things like fruit and peanut butter, juice, things like that early... any other suggestions? I have an appt next Wednesday so I will ask the doc about it then.
 
Everyone likes such lovely names!

Ahh sorry about your headaches mrscletus :(

I keep losing energy really fast, if I haven’t eaten for a couple of hours I go really tired and dizzy :nope: need a constant supply of biscuits :lol:
 
Just wanted to share! I had my first scan today and baby looks good! Measuring 7weeks 6days which is 5 days ahead of my EDD but they decided to keep it the same sept 27th! Heart beat was 148 bpm! I am so excited we are going to start telling our families now! :) any suggestions on how? How did you all tell parents/siblings?

As for the names for a boy we have Logan Alexander (after DH’s geandfather and my dads middle name) and for a girl we are thinking Brenna Rose (my maiden name is Brennan so it would be kind of a tribute to that) but we aren’t final on that one!

Hope you all are doing well!
