Totally shocking, surprise BFP after a late-term loss *UPDATE pg. 3*

oh sweetpea I had no idea! I am so so sorry for your loss of your son.

Congratulations on your daughter though and congrats on the BFP. I truly think things will be okay this time around. Your sweet DS 3 has sent you a gift! That is the way I would look at it. Hugs!!

Thanks again for all the sweet words, ladies. It really warms my heart.

I had my dating scan today and was quite surprised to learn that the baby was measuring 8w3d, when I thought I was only 6w6d. My due date was changed to November 29th. We got to see the heartbeat too, which was a strong 178 bpm. It was so strange and surreal to be back in my OB's office again, starting another pregnancy. To say I was nervous is a large understatement. I made hubby go with me for support. We're still so dumbfounded that this is happening, it almost doesn't seem real...

Also, and definitely not as important as the other things I'm worried about, but I'm kinda bummed that I didn't get a chance to sway. It would have been nice to try and sway the odds a bit towards pink, but I'm pretty sure this will end up being another boy.

Glad to hear your scan went well and that there's a strong healthy bub in there. 😊

Hi, Sunflower! Yes, I do remember you. I'm so sorry to hear that you lost both of your sweet babies. My heart breaks for you. Losing a baby (babies) is such a hard, awful thing that us women have to go through at times. Are you going to try again? And thank you for your kind words! I'm still really nervous and still shocked. Aside from the constant nausea, I don't feel pregnant. I just can't believe I'm going through this again, and so soon. I need to hide this for as long as I possibly can because I don't want my boys to find out until I'm much further along (which I now realize doesn't guarantee anything, but I just want to minimize the risk of them getting hurt again). We can't tell anyone until we tell the boys because I would be furious if someone slipped and mistakenly told them (which I could totally see happening). I see lots of baggy shirts in my future.

***UPDATE***

So this Saturday, I went to have an elective scan done, totally planning on staying team green (despite DH's constant nagging to find out what we're having), but then caved at the end, LOL! I went to the ultrasound session alone, and I decided to go ahead and have the tech put the gender results in an envelope so that I could open it with my husband that evening. So she put the results in a yellow envelope, sealed it, and it stayed in my purse for the entire day because we were busy packing all day to move. I am telling you, I went NUTS all day thinking about how that little envelope held such important news! Once my husband and I had a moment to ourselves that evening, we opened the envelope together and were utterly shocked to see the words "IT'S A GIRL" with arrows pointing to 3 little lines! I grabbed my husband's arm and screamed!!! LOL! I was SO shocked! With no sway what-so-ever, no dieting, no exercising, lots of weight left to lose from the last pregnancy, etc, I felt for sure all of that would mean another boy. All that really mattered was a healthy baby, so gender truly didn't matter, but how shocking and thrilling and surprising to find out that it's a girl! We'll now have two boys (19 months apart) and two girls (18 months apart) with a 3-year gap in between. Once this baby girl arrives safe and sound, God willing, I can be content in saying that our family will officially be complete.

Just wanted to share this with all of you! I am feeling so incredibly thankful and blessed. Now please, get here safely baby girl! In Jesus' name!

Congratulations, fantastic news!!! Xx
