@dragonfly23: Whoo hoo!! I KNEW it!! But I’m so glad you got a confirmation! I’m so happy for you! Your dream is coming true!

Ah glad your minds at ease now Dragonfly23 :) fab news.

It's my anomaly scan in 5.5hours, and I'm must say I'm getting really nervous now. I'm keeping everything crossed we have a healthy baby growing in there :) I am looking forward to seeing them again though, and they are kicking like crazy now, even keeping me up at night so I have to take that as a good sign xxx

Lakarmw, it does bring a bit of anxiety waiting for the test. Mine is in a week and a half at 19w2d. Prayers that everything goes well! Im excited to hear how... wait, just went up and read to see if baby is a boy or girl cause my brain is off... are you having twins? You put they and them?
Atm, i am 17w5d. I am not near as big as i was with my dd. Ik every pregnancy is different but of coarse it worries me. I hear her on the doppler and her heartbeat is there and strong. Still haven't gained weight. Started at 147, dropped to 140 for 3m, and now at 144. Im glad I'm not gaining a lot but again, it worries me cause I'm still below starting weight and i was in normal range for 5'7".
I did have a good 4th. I took Ruthie to the parade. Real feel was 103° and we stood in the sun for 2 hrs. I was so gross when i got home! Lol. Went to a family hog roast, then fireworks at 10pm. A very exciting and long day.
Hope everyone is doing well and progressing nicely in their pregnancy.

Hi :)
Just one baby hehe, I put they as I hate to say it..... as We aren't finding out the sex this time and having a surprise. My scan yesterday went perfect and no anomalies detected. Really really pleased....Hehe hopefully the next time we see baby will be when he/she is born. Here is my little baby :) looks really similar to my son on his 20week scan....

You are a lot better than me! I would go nuts if i didnt know but a sweet surprise! Glad to hear everything went perfectly for you. I cant wait to see the next picture when the baby gets here!

Hehe it's hard not to find out, we did with the last two and we have a girl and a boy all ready, so as this is our last baby we thought a surprise would be the icing on the cake xxx

That is one good looking babe @Lakarmw! Congrats on the great anomaly scan, glad baby is doing well.
Being team green is so hard and every time I have an us I have to ask myself if I'm sure I don't want to find out? Lol. I keep thinking how hard it's going to be planning not knowing the gender. But I know it's just an excuse to be able to go out and buy All the baby clothes if I find out. Not knowing is the only thing holding me back!

Today I'm officially halfway thru this pregnancy since I'm having a scheduled c section at 38 weeks.

Neomasie, half way there, it's crazy isn't it. Oh I'm the same I just have 10 unisex vests and babygrows, and then I'm sure once baby arrives we will be bought loads in the right colours and if not I'll be shopping then hehe. It's so hard, but I'm hoping the excitement will make labour easier xxx

@Lakarmw its so crazy. I feel like its moving fast, but not fast enough!

If i can hold out, I will be shopping up a storming months 1-3, too!

Congrats on a great scan Lakarmw - and baby looks very cute and healthy. I think it's wonderful you are keeping it a surprise. I kept my two a surprise and that moment when they put the baby on your chest and you get to find out - you'll cry. Doesn't even matter what the gender is. It's one of the sweetest surprises in the world. I found out this time because we are just going to have so many scans, I didn't want to have any surprises - and my DH is pretty good at reading scans, so I was afraid we'd accidently find out anyway. But I actually went through a grieving process that I won't get that moment. I loved that moment - even when my son was born still, it was a small moment of joy to find out what he was, even if he wasn't going to stay in my arms.

Make sure you tell the doctors to NOT announce the gender to you - tell them to hand you the baby and let you and your SO/DH find out for yourselves and announce it. So much better that way. :)
