TTC and Beyond!

[jury3]

Rachel-omg! Can't wait to hear more on that!
I'm going to have to buy work pants soon. I've got a rubber band and a Bella band going right now. Even my elastic waisted pants are tight.

 

[jury3]

Ps my ultrasound is tomorrow!!! Yay! I feel like shit today though...lol

 

[Disneybaby26]

Yayyyy Julie, that's awesome!! I can't wait to see!

Rachel- is can't wait to hear that story! Haha

Amanda- yay for doppler!! Let us know how it works!!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Morgan where have you been all day??

 

[TTCaWee1]

Good luck at your ultrasound tomorrow!!

 

[BubsMom17]

Ok now I am worried about Morgan... she hasn't been on either thread all day?

Oh and the chinese gender predictor was wrong for me TWICE!

The Mayan gender predictor was accurate both times though.

Your age at conception + the last two digits of the year

Odd number = boy Even number = girl

So for me with Danny: I was 26 in 2009. 26 + 2009 = 2035 Odd number is a boy
This baby: 30 + 2013 = 2043 Odd number is a boy

 

[Disneybaby26]

I get boy that way too!

 

[brunettebimbo]

Oooo that's interesting!

I was 21 when I conceived my son in 2010 so that makes it 2031 making it correct for me too

If I conceive this year I'm 25 + 2013 would make it girl!

Julie- yay for your first scan! I'm so excited for you!!!!

Nikki- I'm sorry about the diagnosis but at least you found out about it sooner than later and can take extra precautions. I'm sure you and Alia will be just fine! I can't believe you're already 23 weeks! That's insane!!!!

Rachel- i'm feeling boy for you too we'll see! I can't believe you're over 10 weeks either! This is craziness, time is going by so fast. You'll be finding out the sex sooner than you know it!

Are any of you planning on not finding out? I don't think I could do it, unless I had one of each already lol.

 

[brunettebimbo]

We paid privately at 15 weeks to find out with our son. I have slight OCD so feel the need to be majorly organised and in control!

 

[clynn11]

For the last two digits of the year in the Mayan prediction, is it the last two digits of the year you conceived or the year the baby is due?

 

[BubsMom17]

The year you conceived.

For my mom:

(older brother) 17 + 1986 = 2003 (boy, right)

(me) 20 + 1989 = 2009 (boy, wrong)

(little sister) 25 + 1994 = 2019 (boy, wrong)

(baby sister) 37 + 2007 = 2044 (girl, right)

So 2 out of 4. I think all of those things, especially gender, have just a 50/50 chance so it's right half of the time. Still interesting and fun to do though, I know i'll be doing all of these types of things and old midwives tales and stuff to try to guess gender lol.

 

[Disneybaby26]

I try something new to guess like everyday, helps pass the time!

Oh it's definitely silly and just for fun.

I knew the girl prediction was wrong even though I wanted it to be right!

I told DH the night before the gender scan that baby was a boy. I said there is no question. I was right... but I'm super excited to have another little buddy! Little boys... so precious!

* caveat: I have never had a baby girl so I would probably feel the same if I had daughters.

 

[clynn11]

There's tons of youtube videos of women doing old wives tale things to guess gender, I watch them all the time! Lol. I learned some new ones too like the purple cabbage one.

Here's a link to a whole bunch that I had never really heard of lol

Morgan - wherever you are... hope you, baby and hubby are okay!


15 weeks today and I'm grossed out by my belly button. It popped out both of my previous pregnancies and it pops earlier each time it seems. Seeing it in the pictures from this morning made me go "ughhh ewww." LOL.

Someone asked about the doppler. We tried it right away and I found the "galloping horse" sound down relatively low but the reading was in the 130-140s. That's obviously not MY heart rate and more like a fetus' hr but it's lower than it's been every time I've had it checked so it threw my off lol.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Awe! Love the pictures!

 

[wavescrash]

Thanks

As BB said, I am also too OCD. I have to plan and buy things lol

Nikki-Was the Mayan thing correct for you?

Waves-Did you try the Mayan thing for your girls? That's so funny your belly button has popped out so early! Don't hate it, it's cute!

Cassidy-we did a gender reveal for donor and his wife. We did a bunch of old wives tales before the reveal, it was fun! More of them said girl and that's what it was!

Morgan-Hope you and bean are ok...

Mayan for me: age 29+2013=2042 it would be a girl.... Tarot card reading said twin girls...guess we'll see if the twin part was right tomorrow at least lol
