[sodapop]

Yay for great ultrasounds yesterday!

pismoduo, love her name, it may or may not be my name but with a different spelling...

[LadyNymeria]

Love the name pismoduo !

Good luck today hurricanerek  and frenchteachermama !

[frenchteachermama]

1) When are you due?
9/17 but I think my scheduled c-section will be on 9/12

2) Were they able to get all the measurements? Any concerns or does all look good? Will you need a follow up u/s?
Everything looked great! baby is measuring 5 days ahead of where I am based on LMP

3) If you found out the baby's (or babies') sex, what are you having?
Girl (but we've known that since 11 weeks)

4) If you found out, did you have any sex disappointment (This is a safe space - it's totally normal to feel a range of emotions when it comes to joining a team)?
Nope! After 4 miscarriages I was happy to have a healthy baby!

5) What's your name strategy? Do you have a name set in stone? Or one of each set in stone if you're Team Green? Taking a few to the hospital? Not ready to pick yet?
We have lots of names we love but haven't decided on one yet

[hurricanerek]

1) When are you due?
9/12

2) Were they able to get all the measurements? Any concerns or does all look good? Will you need a follow up u/s?
Everything looked great! I'm so relieved. Our tech was wonderful and went through all my concerns one by one. No spina bifida, no indicators of DS, etc. When we got to the heart, she exclaimed, "Perfect!" She said we could come back anytime ;-)

3) If you found out the baby's (or babies') sex, what are you having?
Nope, we're Team Green.

5) What's your name strategy? Do you have a name set in stone? Or one of each set in stone if you're Team Green? Taking a few to the hospital? Not ready to pick yet?
Baby will be either Jonah or Autumn. We like having names set in stone; I think my pp emotions are too wacky for me to reliably choose a name for my kid in the hospital.

Congratulations on your sweet girls, frenchteachermama & pismoduo! Hooray for good healthy scans to you both and to hurricanerek!

[LadyNymeria]

Yay for great scans frenchteachermama and hurricanerek!

[lpj]

1) When are you due? 18 Sept

2) Were they able to get all the measurements? Any concerns or does all look good? Will you need a follow up u/s? All looking great; no follow up required at this stage. Measuring exactly on track to the day!

3) If you found out the baby's (or babies') sex, what are you having? A boy!!!

4) If you found out, did you have any sex disappointment (This is a safe space - it's totally normal to feel a range of emotions when it comes to joining a team)? I really really wanted a boy last time and have to admit I was a bit disappointed to hear DD was a girl. But, this time I new how WONDERFUL DD was and was kind of leaning to wanting two little girls. That said, I'm thrilled to be having a little boy and I know DH is too. We also have a fair idea it was a boy based on comments from the dr at the NT scan.

5) What's your name strategy? Do you have a name set in stone? Or one of each set in stone if you're Team Green? Taking a few to the hospital? Not ready to pick yet? He will almost certainly be Malcolm nn Mac, after my late father in law.. Middle name to be determined but I'm leaning toward Arthur.

6) Any AWs/comments/questions? Here's my little pouter:



Share an ultrasound pic if you desire!

Congrats on the good scan and on the boy lpj !

In case anyone is curious, as of right now, for those BMB members who have posted at least once since mid-March the breakdown is currently (twin moms are still counted as 1):

Team Pink - 17
Team Blue - 11
Team Green - 7

Still Waiting to Find Out - 11
Undecided yet Team Green or Finding Out - 2

[f14mama]

Everything looked perfect! Little dude didn't want to cooperate so we were there quite a while, but everything was great. Managed to get a sneak peek before he went back into hiding.

Doctor just called with the results of my AS. Baby is measuring right on track and everything looks good with him. The only issue is that my placenta is sitting right on my cervix, so it's pelvic rest until further notice. H has already helpfully pointed out that my placenta is not sitting on my colon. Nice try bro.

[LadyNymeria]

LOL to your H danielle. Hope your placenta moves out of the way soon! Glad to hear everything else looked good!

Don't act like you haven't tried it

And now the downfall of the A/S thread. This is why we can't have nice things. Ba ha.

Good luck today cbrandt1, eboyd83, and sodapop!!

Thanks! It's at 12:30 eastern time!

I dreamed that the ultrasound guy (it was actually the guy from the show where the test myths) was doing house calls to my office and that I had missed my appointment. Turned out he was only late. I woke up when he was setting up the ultrasound equipment, lol.

[merryrissmas]

Congratulations on your great scans, danielle & f14mama!

[cbrandt1]

Everything looked great!!!



We are beyond excited!!

[sodapop]

1) When are you due? 9/21

2) Were they able to get all the measurements? Any concerns or does all look good? Will you need a follow up u/s? We'll need to go back for a better look at the heart. There were no issues, she just couldn't have a good look at it.

3) If you found out the baby's (or babies') sex, what are you having? It's a BOY!!

4) If you found out, did you have any sex disappointment (This is a safe space - it's totally normal to feel a range of emotions when it comes to joining a team)? i was preparing myself for a boy. This is our last so it was my only chance for a girl. I'm happy though. I like that my son will have a brother. He was very upset when he found out it was a boy though. It's a good thing we found out now because he reaction to the baby would have been bad.

5) What's your name strategy? Do you have a name set in stone? Or one of each set in stone if you're Team Green? Taking a few to the hospital? Not ready to pick yet? This is the hard part for us. The name has to work in French and English and have an Indian twist. It also needs to fit with our son's name (Ni.khil). A girl name would have been so much easier!

Congrats on the good scans and on the boys cbrandt1 and sodapop!!

Aw sodapop sorry your son was disappointed. I'm sure he'll warm up to the idea of a brother and love on him once he's here.

I'm sure he'll come around. He was pretty angry when we told him. He was crying and all. I think it's because Daniel Tiger and Caillou both have Baby sisters.

I just cringed when you mentioned Caillou.  DD is obsessed and it is driving me crazy. I think that's pretty cute that he wanted a little sister though .


And congrats on the healthy boys sodapop and cbrandt1!!!

Good luck today NJgirl84, mrsjene, and serendipity731!!

[NJgirl84]

1) When are you due? 9/8

2) Were they able to get all the measurements? Any concerns or does all look good? Will you need a follow up u/s? Took awhile but they got all the measurements and everything looks good.

3) If you found out the baby's (or babies') sex, what are you having? We are having another BOY!

4) If you found out, did you have any sex disappointment (This is a safe space - it's totally normal to feel a range of emotions when it comes to joining a team)? Very slight, I've always pictures being a boy mom, but the last few weeks I started thinking about how it would be nice to have a girl. I'm pretty sure we are done after this as well. We said no final decisions until 2 years post baby.

5) What's your name strategy? Do you have a name set in stone? Or one of each set in stone if you're Team Green? Taking a few to the hospital? Not ready to pick yet? We have 1 unused the first time, but we are going to look through names again before deciding.

6) Any AWs/comments/questions? Nothing .... just can't wait to meet this little guy now!

[eboyd83]

1) When are you due? 9/14

2) Were they able to get all the measurements? Any concerns or does all look good? Will you need a follow up u/s? They couldn't get all the pictures. But said size is measuring good. I was told there is a partial curled placenta in one spot. I have to go back in four weeks.

3) If you found out the baby's (or babies') sex, what are you having? They said it is a girl but couldn't get a picture.

4) If you found out, did you have any sex disappointment (This is a safe space - it's totally normal to feel a range of emotions when it comes to joining a team)? I was hoping for a boy. But, there are benefits to two girls too. Like saving money on hand me downs. Lol

5) What's your name strategy? Do you have a name set in stone? Or one of each set in stone if you're Team Green? Taking a few to the hospital? Not ready to pick yet? We will pick out a name by delivery. Just have no ideas yet.

6) Any AWs/comments/questions?
