Baby is looking like a girl!!! I put pictures up in the ultrasound forum if you don't mind looking!
Congratulations mommymachine it looks like a girl to me.
IT looks unmistakably girly too me! Congrats mommymachine!!!
Well girls it has been confirmed and i know 100% i am having a HEALTHY baby girl!!! MY amnio results came back normal and the OB confirmed the sex...im so relieved and happy and will sleep so much better tonite knowing i dont need to worry :)
That's fantastic dreaminginoz I'm so glad she's healthy.
My DH felt our little lady kick for the first time this morning. So exciting, he had been asking if I was feeling any kicks but they hadn't been strong enough until this morning.
Anyone else feeling kicks on the outside yet?
My husband felt three kicks last Thursday... they were very tiny little quick kicks. We haven't felt anything else until this morning. I felt some very distinct movements on the outside. And of course, he wasn't at home to feel it. I can't wait for the big kicks so my boys can feel the baby. Right now I have to lay still and patiently wait for the kicks and boys just don't have that kind of patience. :)
So funny you guys mention kicks on the outside. Just last night I was thinking the kicks were enough to maybe be felt on the outside, but when I put my hand on the outside to see they stopped, of course.
My scan is on Monday!! I just know it's a boy, and am basically at peace with it, but still anxious. Ugh. I was on my work trip for the last 2 weeks, so it was nice to focus on something else for awhile... but now I am starting to let it creep up on me.
I am sure I'll spend a little time in the gender disappointment forum for a bit and then I will bounce back? :) xoxo
The 20 week scan is lovely Lizzie whatever the gender. Its so beautiful to see your little one on the screen. I think you still have a good chance at a girl, but if it is a boy 2 boys are so special. You can never understand the bond brothers have until you see it yourself. I am really glad I had 2 boys first otherwise I might have stopped at 2 and never had my gorgeous ds2. Also my boys have all girl cousins so far so Im really happy they have each other.
Can't wait until we hear, I think it will be Tuesday here by then.
Thanks, bythe******. I do think about how my Jack will have a little brother and the bond between them will be so lovely. My sister and I are so close that I know it is worth it in my heart.
It is so nice to see them on the screen... although my OB sends out the 12 week and 20 weeks scans to a specialist. He makes you drink a ton of water to make your bladder larger and then push the baby up so he can see it better. (Do any of your 20 week scans go like this?) He will reject you too if you haven't had enough water. At my 12 week he took one look and said go back and drink 3 more cups and wait 10 mins.
Anyway, I have to say it makes the scan so uncomfortable... I am usually ready for it to be over so I can hit the ladies room!
Haha yes lots of water here too. I got to relieve myself halfway through so we could get bub to roll over and get the rest of the measurements, so at least for half of it I wasn't busting.
I havent had my 20wk scan yet but when i went for my amnio they have to do a proper full detail ultrasound before and while doing the needle insertion and i didnt have to drink any water, infact they said i could empty my bladder if i wanted to - so i did!
cant wait for my 20wk scan too - Lizzie cant wait to hear your news:)
Attachment 12050Belly pic time!!! Me at 18 weeks!
Cute mommymachine, I can't figure out how to put pics up on my phone.
Attachment 12077I'm 18wks too! I think we have the same due date :) I wish I looked that good- I've eaten too much I think my belly feels more like fat than baby! Any who will see if I can upload a pic I have on my phone at 15wks!
Bythe****** I did mine on my phone while at the dentist, it was easier than I thought! Go to 'go advanced' and then 'manage attachments' and then 'upload' and then 'from computer' and then u can pick a photo from ur phone... Goodluck oh and this is from an iPhone- I don't know about android :)
See if this works, this was my bump at 18 weeks
Tried to do one from today but it didn't work :(
Attachment 12082
I tried again here's my 20 week bump :)
You girls and your darling bumps! I just end up looking fat... no one thinks I am pregnant. ha. I'll post a pic, but I got to get the lighting right and figure out my wear.
Just kidding! I am running to get my son at school. I promise I'll take it later! Hope you all have a nice weekend! xoxo
Not long until your scan now Lizzie, hope you are doing ok. I would love to see a pic of your bump.
So question, I am 18 weeks. Just for the last hour or so, I have been getting fuzzy vision. I can see normal things just fine, but when I go to read something on the computer/book. Its HARD! Should I be worried about this or is this something normal, never had it with my previous 4 babies. Thanks!
That doesn't sound great Zem. You should probably talk to your Dr if it continues.
Zem, I would call the doc too... although what really shocks me is this is your 5th pregnancy!! :) You are amazing!
Bythe******, you are so sweet to remember. I really am doing ok. It is a warm weekend here in LA and just enjoying hanging outside with my family. I did have a rough phone call with my mom yesterday. Love her, but she brought up that the scan is monday and started telling me that I cannot be disappointed as long as I am having a healthy baby. I hung up and decided it's ok to feel what I feel. I really think I will be ok when I hear boy, but I am not going to just tell myself to feel one way or another. That is what stresses me out! Feeling like I can't be disappointed for 1 second, you know? If I tell myself that it is ok to be disappointed for a bit then it makes me relax. So that is what I am going with. I am not a horrible person, my feelings are just my feelings!
I am headed to brunch with my girlfriends... I promise a bump pic later!! I went to a friend's bday party last night and no one realized I was pregnant. I am telling you I just look fat!!
xoxo
Goodluck Lizzie :)
Is anyone else with a DD onboard a little bit scared to have a DD?! Im starting to think maybe i shouldn't have wished for a DD so hard when i love my boys to bits and think they are great....of course im over the moon and feel blessed to have a DD but at the same time im definately scard of how the dynamics in the house will change and how my boys will be affected.
So far I have not had it happen again, stayed that way for about an hour. If it does it again, I will call and ask. BUT for sure will ask at my next apt. I don't think it has anything blood pressure related, I have low bp that just gets lower while pregnant. Yep this is unexpected baby 5! lol Although this is my 6th pregnancy, had one MC. Don't know if you know my story (posted the long story on here somewhere) we had 4 kids, didn't want anymore so I got fixed, well it didn't work or something so here we are!! lol
Glad it didn't last long Zem, you should definitely ask just incase is serious.
Not long until your scan now Lizzie. How many hours? I might have to wait until morning probably.
I know what you mean dreaminginoz, will I know how to bring up a girl? My husband never had sisters either so I think he's a little bit nervous.
Hi girls,
Scan in ~ 3 hours, so yes you Australians will have to wait till tomorrow. Thanks for all the good wishes, girls! (As you all know, I am convinced I am having a boy and I would love a girl, but I hear you about having one sounds scary somehow too. :)
Zem, WOW. I did not see your story about how you got fixed and then an accident. WOW. I gotta read the details. That is so crazy unexpected fun! xoxo
So news Lizzie, it's tomorrow already! :)
Ummmm.... it's a girl???!!!! I am in total, complete disbelief. I feel so crazy for this thinking it is a boy business, but seriously every bone in my body was telling me it was a boy?? I still cannot believe it???
I was so anxious. The doctor was late. I was tearing up waiting for him to come in. My husband was like "pull yourself together!". It was just the build-up of it all!!! So he came in and said- 20 week scan, you want to know the sex? I said yes, but maybe not right in this room. He said he would write it down. He usually isn't real chatty, but he was all chatty asking me what I thought it was and I kept saying I didn't want to look at the screen and see something I didn't want to see and he said it was fine- he didn't know what he was looking at either. haha
So he wrote it on a piece of paper and handed it to my husband (I hit the bathroom.) We stopped and got subway sandwiches and got home and were eating. My husband just pulled it out and opened it and passed it to me. I was like... wait, now??? and his eyes were filled with tears and he said read it, it's a girl! I still cannot believe it!!!
You girls never gave up hope for me. And you were right!!! xoxo
Yay! Congrats Lizzie. You're going to have a little girl. So exciting!
Lizzie!!!!! Hurrah!!! That's awesome! Congrats
Lizzie- I kept checking back today waiting to see you post that it's a GIRL! Somehow I just knew that you would be posting pink news :)
Hooray- congrats!!!
Thanks, squamgirl!! I really did not think I would be posting pink news... thanks for checcking back on me. You girls are so wonderful!
Congrats on the girl!! Hope I get that news. I am so nerves for my scan on the 10th.... I do have one girl, but also have my three boys. I love them all, but I just know I will cry if they say this surprise baby is another boy... I cried with my last boy, but was ok with it by time he was born....OHH just hope its a girl! lol
Can't wait Zem, just over a week now. I really think it's a girl for you!
Zem, it's gotta be a girl!! Our nov group has had a lot of pink dust! There is plenty left over for you too. You are the last one. I can't wait to hear the news!!
Congrats to all the new girl mums!! It's wonderful to see the fantastic pink streak! Good luck Zem, hope you hear pink too. Send any leftover pink dust onto the Dec thread please!! Wish I could've squeezed in here for some of the magic to rub off, but I'm due on 5th Dec instead :)

You may well have your LO in November anyway Dreamofpink! I really hope you hear pink too especially after ttc for so long. When will you find out?
I do feel terrible for those who didn't get their dream gender though, especially those expecting son number 7. But I know how much they will love their little men and really hope they still do hear pink one day.
Yes, I totally agree. It's not fair at all. I really hope they hear pink too, if anyone deserves to it's certainly the mums of 7 special little boys.
Thank you though bythe******. I should find out at my anomaly scan on 18 July! It's so nerve-wracking isn't it?!
