Catfromaus - thanks. Ethan is a funny little boy, but that's why I love him (my son). It's actually been really fun for me and the kids this go round. My son is 8 and my daughter is 6, so they are SUPER thrilled to be big siblings.
Tannembaum - LOL! I've heard a lot of stories where the heartbeat was opposite what the prediction was. We'll see!
3 Girlies - stay strong! Just keep picturing the end, where it'll be so cool to tell everyone not only that you had a baby, but that it was a boy or girl!
Chele! Stay strong. You're having a wobbly day, so I shall hold you still. Perhaps it's all this gender talk. LOL. Maybe we should all go back to 50/50 (equal) stats, instead of pondering on our intuitions.
So, to distract us, I shall tell a couple of funny kids tales. Today is my mom's birthday and my daughter, Kai, decided she wanted to make grandma a card last night. She asked me, "How old is grandma? 19?" I had to laugh at her and tell her Grandma was 49 now, so she told me that was old. I asked her if 49 is old to her, does she think I'm young? She told me that I'm slightly old. LOL!
Second one. We were all watching TLC last night and a commercial for Toddlers and Tiaras came one, and a little girl said a bad word that was bleeped out. So, my kids had to discuss it a bit. Ethan said it wasn't nice that a little girld would say the "S" word. Then my daughter had to inquire to what the "S" word was, and she asked me is it "Stupid"? I told her no, and it's not a word we can repeat out loud. So then my son told her, "Yeah, Kai, we can't say the 'S' word out loud, only robbers do."
Robbers? Where does he hear this stuff? LOL So, my 8 year old thinks only robbers say the "S" word out loud. Good to know.

Hi Gals!! I want to join
We are team yellow, after discovering (accidentally) with ds how fun it is to be surprised. We found out with dd, and had lots of fun preparing for her to come. Then we found out with #2, and prepared for the second GIRL we were told was on the way (even pointed out the 'three lines' and everything...). But I delivered a gorgeous little BOY! We were all, even the docs and nurses, in shock!! It was SO fun to have that surprise and tell everyone, that right there in the delivery room DH and I agreed we'll never find out again.
My 'official' due date is Jan 1, 2012...but I'll likely deliver around Christmas. I seem to deliver 1-2 weeks early with my babies.

So.... I bought a few baby sleepers.. I just really wanted some darling little fresh, new baby clothes hanging in my closet. Although I purchased two boring neutral things, I also (much to my husband's chagrin) purchased ONE girly sleeper, and let my son pick out ONE boy sleeper (bright blue with an electric guitar on the front. Yeah!!)
As much as I am team yellow, I won't be doing much shopping for clothing until after baby is born... neutral clothes are borrrrrrrrrring!!

Welcome Jackie- I have to say that I love neutral clothes- but then, my daughter is always in pink, she was only in whites for about a week I think! This baby will probably be the same, but I've got some really gorgeous neutral things.
Greenglitter- love the cute kids stories, and really hope they do help keep everyone strong! Chele, you can't leave us!
Babyhopes, definitely not counting till baby arrives, this whole pregnancy is going by so fast! I'm a teacher on school holidays at the moment, and it is so weird to think that this is my last time- by next holidays I'll have another baby! Eeek!

I'm not leaving, I run the group! How bad is that if the group leader caves 
. That was one of the reasons I started the group again.
I love neutral clothes but most seem to still be a bit boyish to me. I need to get all Max's clothes out and sort out the neutrals and see what condition they are in and what I need to get. So far Chichi only has been bought one vest and a jacket, poor little baby
:wave: JackiePed, oh wow that must have been amazing! Was there a quick run around to change everything you'd planned and organised?

Afternoon, all!
Babyhopes! LOL! The countdown starts. I'm not evening going to try yet. I don't get maternity leave until literally the moment I give birth... Lol!
Cat - thanks! Yes, we gotta keep it strong, too, right? Probably more for my sanity. I've never done this but I'm super excited going down the yellow (surprise) road.
Jackie! *Glomps* Lovely seeing you here! And welcome. Neutral clothes are hard to find where they don't look so...bland. I'll probably be like you and wait till I give birth and buy the majority of clothes after the baby is born.
Chele - that's good to know that you're in it to win it. LOL. I suppose even the leader can wobble for a moment. It's only natural. *HUGS*
I'm gonna give input to that question you asked Jackie, just from my experience since I had a son and daughter as well. My pregnancies were identical - for me. I had no morning sickness, no real cravings, and the only thing I had was pretty much the tiredness and sore boobs. Now, with this one, I have had morning sickness, tiredness, no sore boobs, horrible skin issues and heartburn. Total opposite of my other two! And the other two were opposite genders. So, from my experience, I can't go by the wives tales of symptoms. Just me, though. I'd love to hear others.

You know, I didn't notice a difference between the two pregnancies. I was the same amount of sick, for the same amount of time, same side effects, and even went into labor the same way.
As for whether it threw us off... not really so much, because it was going to be our second girl, and they would only be 15 months apart, so we didn't really 'go crazy' preparing for 'girl'#2.... now if it had been our FIRST...well, that would have been even funnier.

Yeah, I figure... If we're gonna be Team Yellow.... Theres no point in driving ourselves crazy trying to guess.

This pregnancy is totally different- and so I have completely convinced myself that I am having a boy! I have only bought one babygro!! Thats it- I do have a lot of things from Emma that are neutral, and my SIL has a baby boy, so if I do end up with a blue bump, he has plenty of blue things already!

I am stressing so much about the sex of this baby you would not believe. I was so chilled last week and now stress levels are an all time high.
Part of me thinks i should just find out to stop me stressing as then I'd know for sure. I really wish I could experience both and then decide which was better but I really still have in the back of my mind how disappointed I'd be in myself for giving into temptation. And if I do find out, it's not something I can take back.
I can't do it. Nope, I will not give in. I hope it's just a blip for a week or so and then it'll be gone! Scan in 9 days so need to get that over with to get temptation out of my way

Chele, I have two things for you on opposite sides of the field here:
1.) So.... who cares if you DO decide to find out?? The whole idea of being 'team ____' is for the FUN.... so if it turns out that waiting is too stressful, then don't worry about it!! Find out! Do whatever will be more fun for you... this is not about a test of wills, mama.
However:
2.) What's stressing you out? You said you're stressed about the sex... but there's really nothing to stress about..... you can be perfectly prepared for baby without knowing the sex, and you can do nursery decorating and shopping for gender-specific cute stuff later after babe is born. As long as you've got a few cute sleepers/onesies, the baby necessities (Which aren't often gender specific anyway) and a place for baby to sleep, you're good. You won't even use your nursery at first, baby will sleep in your room.
So.... whatcha' stressin about?
