Sticking Together Until We Are In Diapers Ourselves!

[WunnaBubba2]

Oh, almost forgot. Yes, Jess, we will be telling others the gender. My SIL and some close friends have already started prodding me for gender because they want to buy pressies
I will also most def update you ladies as soon as I have the gender!

[WunnaBubba2]

I love it!! Looking good and you shoud have made your screen name Mamahotty

 

[MamaBunny2]

Aww thanks Pamela!

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Is your 1st name Jyllian? (Did I spell that right?)
I went back and saw mention of it and just want to make sure

 

[MamaBunny2]

Yes ma'am! I'm just now remembering some of the BnB ladies' names... I'm terrible at remembering names and even more so now with pregnancy brain

 

[melewen]

Jyllian.. Jyllian.. Jyllian..

Committing to memory!! I've heard that after giving birth a couple times the uterus stretches way faster so the bump shows sooner. Must be why I am having those annoying cramps every now and then.. my uterus is like whyyyyyy

Did the 6 week photos today!

What an adorable bump!!

No Pam, the patches stopped working weeks ago. It was a temporary fix. I'm so excited to figure out the gender of your baby.

Jyllian, your bump is super cute. Are people noticing yet?

I love your pics Mel!

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Grr, I never had ms as bad as you do Jess but I remember the small victory of finding something that helps and then the HUGE let down when it stops
I'm just as excited with finding out the gender. My internet at home is off at the moment. I get internet on the 1st of each month and some months I use it all before the 1st Anyway as soon as I have internet at home I will go crazy with all those old wives tales on your blog and see what we come up with
How are you feeling now?

Cheryl, I absolutely love the photos you are taking! I'm so excited to see them continue
Except for your uterus screaming at you, how are you?

20 Weeks and 0 day(s) Pregnant

New Hospital Experience:

So we went to the new hospital at 9 am and had to wait 2 hours just to see the new doc (sooooo expensive, her consultation fee is 5 times our previous doc). But she was nice and very accommodating. And as expected it ended up like the very first visit. We ask her about baby aspirin and whether I should continue taking it. She said usually it’s taken by someone who has previous MCs or when the baby is measuring less than expected and that there’s no harm in taking it. She also told me to continue taking my iron and calcium she had to ask the specific names to check whether they are good glad we brought all our files because I cannot remember the exact names (blame the pregnancy brain) all checked out good… Then she did a quick peek with her US machine (2D scan, sad there’s no print outs ) to take measurements and THE BABY is measuring one week ahead again… Oh, DH was inside and saw THE BABY moving which I can feel as well. I asked if she can tell me the gender and she said she’ll try.
After checking the entire environment down there she started looking for the gender and she said, it’s a BOY!!!! We were shocked and told her that our previous scan showed girl. She insisted that she is seeing a BOY... She showed us the scan and pointed at the baby’s thingy. DH was confused and said that he is not really seeing it so he asked if it could be just an umbilical chord. So she showed us where the umbilical chord is and it’s also in between the legs. We ended up not having an accurate answer… She still insisted that she’s 95% sure it’s a boy. Then we asked if we could have an anatomy scan in 3D and if they could tell the gender more accurately by then. We were told to go to the groundfloor and make the appointment since 3Ds are handled by a different department. We got our 3D Anomaly Scan scheduled next Thursday at 21 weeks.

How strange! Glad baby is good and healthy though. We found out we were having a boy at 16 weeks and it was accurate. Looking forward to finding out his/her gender! What boy name did you guys have picked out?

 

[mdscpa]

We weren't upset or anything just confused.... it's like we never had a gender scan yet and now looking forward to know what he/she is.... We have Adam Joseph or just will just drop Joseph/translate it to arabic.

Kirsty, for the next 7 days your record is still in tact with gender predictions
Will have to wait for confirmation from Daphne as to whether you are still right or not.

You did however predict that it is possible for either Daphne or myself to ruin your record So you might still be right there...

How are you doing??

 

[miranda90]

Lovely bump mdscpa!

 

[mdscpa]

Thanks Miranda and welcome to the group. How far along are you?

 

[Jrepp]

Daphne, when was your first scan done?

Do any of you have good dreams? Every time I fall asleep I dream someone is trying to kill me sometimes I'm pregnant in the dreams, most of the time I'm not.

 

[WunnaBubba2]

I would say I have okay dreams... they use to be real raunchy and sexy in 1st tri and now they are kind of 'normal' again.

Except my nightmares are sometimes about spiders and I suffer from arachnophobia so those are real please.... sarcasm noted.

 

[mdscpa]

Had my first gender scan at 18 weeks that we have pictures and it really looks like a girl.

I knew one of you two were going to rain on my parade! If it's not Daphne, it'll be you!

I'm good! My parents are having Luca this evening instead of tomorrow now so we're only a few hours off dtd

TMI:

I shaved down there this morning and everything looks exactly how it did before! although I wasn't brave enough to have a feel around inside

Edit: Daphne, you should take advantage of your situation and try out some of the old wives tales! X
