Adorable! Get any gender vibes?

Not really, in one pic I see a little white line between the legs, but that could be anything. ONE thing the tech said.... I was mentioning how I wished I knew the gender, but that I knew I had to wait till the next scan.... I said I wad lucky with my boys, as both cooperated fully in showing their gender, I guess they were "proud"

I said all that to her and she said boys are usually cooperative for that and girls tend to hide it. Then she started scanning from a different angle and her next woods were " see how the legs are crossed right now?"

Idk if that was a "hint" into what she thought, or if she was simply assisting us in understanding what we were looking at....I will say that when the baby gave us a clear view of the butt, I didn't see anything but butt cheeks and legs..and the legs were pretty close together too....

For awhile I was thinking girl but I can't mentally picture having a little girl, but that may just be cuz I've only had boys. With my first I had a strong feeling of boy, and a not as strong feeling of boy with my youngest, but still.had a hunch...I also bought 3.adorable footie sleepers for a girl a couple weeks ago. At the time I told myself it was because they were so cute, and on sale, and if I find out I'm having a boy, there are 2 people at my work having a girl, so the outfits could be gifts. I always think boys clothes are so much cuter...yet that day for some reason I only looked at girl stuff... Idk if I'm over analyzing it (which I'm very prone to do) or if I subconsciously wad telling myself something.... Maybe in the next couple weeks I'll get a stronger vibe
I have "heard" that seeing a "line" vs. seeing a "nub" can mean girl and that the clitoris is usually the first visible gender formation for girls...
Then I start thinking that since the other 2 pregnant women at work are having a girl, then chances are probably slim (see, over analyze ) yet on the other hand, lol, the last 3 pregnant women at work (who all had their baby within the last 6 months) all had boys, so if I'm having a girl it would divide the 6 of us perfectly equal...

That was my in depth way of saying I don't know, lol.

Oh I forgot to mention the baby is measuring perfectly, literally to the DAY of.when I knew we conceived
Also had a nice, strong HB @ 165 !

How is everyone doing?

How are you feeling Blessed?

So half an hour ago I walked up and down my stairs 12 times, took a 5 minute break, and then bounced on my gym ball for 10 minutes. Well 3 minutes ago I had my "bloody show". It could actually happen before Thursday!

Woohoo!!!

Exciting armymama

I'm getting a sweep on the 19th my little girl will be here by the end of June for sure

Woohoo to you too!!!

Had my NT scan yesterday, but due to my schedule I couldn't get the finger prick part till tomorrow, meaning ill have to wait a bit for results, but I'm not too worried, the fluid at the neck measured 1.5 mm, well under the "safe" cap...and the nasal bone was well defined and very easy to see

Wish I had a video, but I guess they don't offer that , which is a bummer cuz it was the best scan I've ever had! With my boys the scans were later so although the baby moved around, it was nothing like what I saw yesterday! Actually looks like a baby (amazing the coherence in just 2 1/2 wks!), and he/she was hamming it up! Sucking his/her thumb, waving, raising both hands in fists like they were celebrating, danced around, kicked towards the transducer when it was pressing toward the feet, even twisted and leaned over, looked like she was mooning us! Got a clear view of the little butt!
Ill attach some pics, I'm on my phone and have to switch to full site...

In the one profile shot you can see what will be the belly button, lol. It was so cute, even the tech was giggling during the scan. I honestly thought my fiance might cry (he's not a crier):

Oh that's brilliant Angel I am so so pleased for you X

 

[Kelly9]

Great news angel will you find out the gender?

Girlin exciting about the sweep!

 

[3xBlessed]

LOL Angel!!! You sound so much like me, analyzing every single detail! I did recently read something about the position of the umbilical cord could indicate gender as early as the 12 week ultrasound. I forget which side was girl and which side was boy though!

 

[B&LsMom]

fingers crossed for you army!

can't wait to see your little girl, girlinyork

blakesmom and kelly, wow teeth and words already??? holy crap!! Liam just cut two teeth at just over 7 months. I'm not sure if he's saying words at all or if it's babble, I don't know what I'm listening for are you back to work, blakesmom?
Lexi is nice and chubby like Liam I see her in your avatar (usually I'm on my phone so don't notice). She's cute!!!!!

January 21st was my first day back so we are well into a routine now. Yesterday was his first day in daycare tho ( had my mom and a friend helping us with child care until now. It makes them grow up so quick being around other kids. He is already rolling way more than he was just this weekend!!

 

[armymama2012]

Nothing new. Went to my appt today with contractions 10 minutes apart. They were pretty strong for me but I haven't progressed from yesterday. Baby isn't engaged enough to put pressure on the cervix and help it dilate. C-section is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Thursday. I don't like that it is an afternoon operation because that means I cant eat anything after 3 a.m. and will have to go til 4:30 p.m. that afternoon before I will get to eat.

 

[B&LsMom]

Army any more action from you???

Angel lively scan pics!! Thanks for sharing!!

Girlin sorry about the GD-- I know first hand that majorly sucks!! Are you doing insulin???

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Good luck for tomorrow army not long now x

 

[armymama2012]

Contractions are letting up. Only about 3 an hour now and only half as intense as yesterday. I guess baby told my body to quit making mommy miserable if it wasnt going to do anything. I just hope I can sleep tonight.

Great news angel will you find out the gender?

Girlin exciting about the sweep!

Yes, definitely, I'm beating the you know what out of google trying to analyze this nub and skull theory.. even went so far as to try the ring trick
I SWORE I wouldn't do that, but it was asked in a gender quiz I took. I'm not good with anticipation! I wanna know now!

I'm thinking
But not sure if that's intuition (which I had no doubt with my boys), or what. This pregnancy is different all around, which might be why I'm thinking girl. I thought I wanted another boy, but I'm drawn to the girls clothes... I even bought a couple outfits, lol, with the mental excuse "not that I'm saying I'm having a girl, but a friend is, so they won't go to waste"

 

[Angel wings13]

Good luck with everything army mama!
I know you didn't want a C section, but at least you won't have long agonizing labor. Sorry, its just my youngest traumatized me for life. I swore I wouldn't have another , that's how unbelievable it was. Docs are split on whether one is necessary for me. I will make sure its done. As crazy as it sounds, I honestly think I will cry (not just tears, but full blown sobbing), if the doc says no, then if have to go back to my old doc, who I don't like, but he was telling me I HAD to have one, which is what I wanted to hear.
(I already have a long incision on my abdomen, had my left ovary and tube removed, due to cancer, and on to if the cancer, was a large benign tumor)

 

[armymama2012]

I'm more okay with a C-section than my husband is. I also have scarring down there from when I was a child (double hernia repair on my ovaries). Now I'll have 3 scars in the same spot.

I took my last bump picture of this pregnancy. Will upload it in a minute. My mom wants to take a baby day picture of me on her cell phone.

Almost time now Army!

Wow, my hubby is just the opposite. Wants me to schedule a c-section the moment i found out i'm preggers again. Not really, i'm exaggerating a little but that's how much he DOESN'T want me to have a vaginal delivery. Men are weird!!! At least mine is.
