That could be fun! A bnb friend of mine went to the scan (her hubby was there though so that would be the only difference) then they had the tech write down the sex. They had a meal planned with a manager of a restaurant. They gave the manager the envelope and waited for their meal. It sounded so adorable when they lifted the lid off the plate and found all boy related items

Just brought the idea up to DH. He gave me the old, "do what you want to do," but still complained about how unnecessary it is. There's a place ten minutes from my training tomorrow that offers gender scans for $69 so if they happen to have any same day appts that will work with my schedule for tomorrow I'm going to go for it. Pretty unlikely that the timing will work out but I'll try in the morning!

 

[Guppy051708]

men! Hmph!
Good luck! would be exciting for you to find out tomorrow, if you get the chance

Good luck Kiss08...I hope it works out for you!

I did a gender reveal party at work today. We had the ultrasound yesterday afternoon and I told them I would bring either a blue or pink cake. Most ofthem said pink. haha

kylarsmom- lovely pics what a great idea.

iv been toying with the idea of having pink/blue cupcakes made- getting every one to bite into them at the same time too see! still 5wks to think about it as my scan not until my 21st wk

LOL. Addicted to your baby..

The closest. o me is two hours but the bigger issues are I'd have to take more time off work (I work at a University so with the school year ending in a month, it's already a crunch for me to be taking off the time I am next month) and DH doesn't want to do it (for the money, inconvenience, and "unnecessary" factors). I'm actually going to the city that has the private scans for a training tomorrow, but I'd be without DH. I half want to go behind his back but I don't think that's a very good idea!!

Kiss we are so similar!! I did the same with the going behind hubs back thing. Thing was I called him 5 times to ask and he never answered. So I had them record the full session and told him as soon as I got home HAHA!

You have more self control than me, they said "we have a spot open right now " and I was sold LOL

Ok this is a question for the mommys that have a little one at home my daughter is 15 months and if anther child her age or younger try's to hit her or hits her she doesn't hit back or try to protect her self yesterday my niece hit her while I put both of them in the play n pack and my daughter just crys is it normal she used to grab things like anther child's hair or hand but now she doesn't do it any more ever sence I taught her not to do it it scares me that she can't protect her self

 

[maybebaby3]

Depends on your parenting. Since you taught her not to hit, she did what she was taught. I don't have a little one currently but I have 4 younger sisters. One raised by my dad and his wife, she would NEVER fight back but the other 3 raised by my mom and me... im a fighter myself and taught those 3 how to defend themselves and if they ever got hit they would hit right back lol...

For me I have a feeling I am going to have to learn how to raise a son properly, as with girls, while hitting back isnt exactly the RIGHT solution, it works and teaches others not to mess with them. With boys though, hard to teach the fine line between other boys and other girls, because if they push a little boy its one thing, but when they start punching little girls theres a problem.

In my opinion the best way is to try to teach not to retaliate OR cry, that way there arent any fights AND you teach your child to be strong from a young age.

Whenever my sisters would get pushed or hit or something from a young age, we would fake injure ourself too in order to take the focus off the fact that something bad just happened to them, and they would always end up forgetting immediately

Hi ladies,

I'm wondering, what does your belly feel like at this stage? Mine is mostly semi-firm for the most part - not hard but not really squishy. Sometimes it feels harder than other times and I'm wondering if these are braxton hicks or if baby has changed positions and is pushing out. I'm very petite - 5'1'' and weighed 99 lbs pre-pregnancy - so it doesn't seem unreasonable that I might be feeling baby in my belly at this stage. Just curious what others' experiences have been!

BTW, Kaili I meant to mention this to you. I was inspired by your Mazda CX-5 post as DH and I had been planning on replacing his little tin can car with 150,000 miles on it for something a little bit more family friendly. We looked at the CX-5 and absolutely loved it! We ended up going with a Subaru Forester for a couple of reasons, but both longingly look at the CX-5s whenever they drive past because they are really such good looking cars. Hope you are enjoying it!
