Re: *~* July Sparklers' Wednesday Check-in *~*
I have this fear too. Although, I don't have everything(or really anything) pink...it's all fairly girly...And we founf out the sex at 18.5 weeks, which the tech said she could only guarantee 85%...not her usual 95%.......
I've had a feeling all along that she was a girl though, so I' m not TOO worried....just that little voice in the back of my head.
I've had a LOT of dreams though. and evey one since the big US, she;s been a girl.
Only had one boy dream...but that one was too bizarre to go into details....so I just assume it was a fluke.
)
T: My biggest surprise about preganancy so far is the fact that I haven't really been all that sick. I'm just tired a lot. I was also surprised when my feet and ankles started swelling. I HATE that! Ugh.
W: No dreams about the baby. Still having strange dreams in general, though, but I think that is due to stress.
W: Have you had any dreams about the baby? What were they?
Every baby dream I've had was before we found out the sex. In my dream it was always a boy, and we were dying for a girl!!
Have you had any dreams about the baby? What were they?
I had a couple before we knew the sex that she was a boy, the night before our big u/s I dreamt about giving birth to twin alligators, and a few nights ago she was a kitten.
Early on I had a dream that we had a boy (we're keeping the sex a surprise) and he had A LOT of dark hair and a cute little nose, both like his daddy. I had him naturally with no pain at all and I was just holding him and looking in his eyes and connecting with him. It was so real that when I woke up I thought we already had him.
Just a side note: I'm completely convinced we're having a girl and have been since we found out we were pregnant.
Hey,
I would like to be a "sparkler" too! I'm Crystal, 24yrs old, and we're estimated to be due July 17th with our first child and it's a girl.
M: (1) How was your weekend? It was good, but I was mad I lost that hour sleep as it threw off my whole day for some reason. (2) Any baby/pregnancy updates? Next U/S is the 23rd 'cause she moved too much and they couldn't get all they needed next time. (3) How long did you TTC before getting a BFP? About a month or two. We decided the end of August that we were ready then didn't really "try" just let it happen and found out Nov 5th that we were positive!
T: What has been the biggest surprise about pregnancy so far? That I have been so incredibly tired. I feel like I can't catch up on sleep and yet I sleep a lot.
W: Have you had any dreams about the baby? What were they? I have dreams about her all the time. Before I knew she was a "she" I would dream that she was, but I had always thought it was a boy so it was weird. Most recently I had a dream that I went to my doctor appt and they couldn't find the heartbeat and did an u/s and said we had lost her. It was the most awful thing I have ever felt when I woke up.
We have a lot of July babies!
I've had a few dreams where we will be with her in the park or taking pictures of her. I can't ever remember what else we were doing or what she looked like though.
M: (1) How was your weekend? (2) Any baby/pregnancy updates? (3) How long did you TTC before getting a BFP? 1. Weekend was good. Enjoyable and relaxing. 2. DH and I went shopping for clothes for the baby and for our daughter, also picked out our changing table! 3. We hadn't really been trying. We thought we were going through secondary infertility when we discovered we were expecting.
T: What has been the biggest surprise about pregnancy so far? Seriously? That I got pregnant at all!! My DD had just turned 5 about 2 months before our BFP and I had reserved myself to the reality of only having one child. I guess the stars were aligned and Halloween really is our special day (it's our wedding anniversary) because that weekend was our conception weekend.
W: Have you had any dreams about the baby? What were they? The only real dream that I've had so far is me talking to my belly and my belly/baby talking back. It was really weird!
Before we found out the sex of the baby I kept on having dreams about a little boy! ?I don't remember much about the dreams, just that they were very uneventful. ?I was doing regular everyday things but I had a little baby with me.
?
momtobetimes3 (29) - July 4th - BOY!!!
Tues-Biggest surprise by far was absolutely no pregnancy symptoms and finding out it was a boy.
Wed- My only pregnancy baby dreams was before my big U/S I had a dream that it was clearly a girl on the U/S and everythought I had about the baby was the thought that it was a girl (see tues. answer above)
W: Have you had any dreams about the baby? What were they?
I have had a couple but it was just kind of quick not much detail just that i had the baby at home.
I haven't had any dreams about the baby, but I'm pregnant in most of my dreams. My mom had a dream that we'll have a red headed little boy (before we knew the sex) and DH and I both have brown hair. There's red hair in the family, but it's not the prevelant.
DH had a dream that he has blue eyes and dark hair. We've got such a blend in our family that just about anything is possible and I can't wait to find out what he'll look like!
Had the big u/s yesterday!! its a baby boy!!! everything looked great and he measured right on target thank God!!!
Aside from crazy pregnant dreams, I have only had one dream about the baby. About a week before the big u/s I had a dream that we found out we were having a boy...turns out my dream was right!!!
W: Have you had any dreams about the baby? What were they? I havent had any really...but DH has. He has one the other night, it was a boy and he was throwing a football in our yard.
I 'try' to have them...but cant seem to get away from the sexy dreams with random strangers in them..hehehe
: What has been the biggest surprise about pregnancy so far?
that we are having a boy I so thought it was a girl...lol
W: Have you had any dreams about the baby? What were they?
Yes I had a dream about a week before my big u/s and it was weird... i had a view from in the womb as if i was in there and seen it was a boy but couldnt exactly see his face!! almost like the view from the begining of the movie look whos talking...lol that when all my having a girl thought kind of went away...! other then that none!
M- I know I am behind but baby updates are I have another ultrasound Tuesday to check on my placenta moving up and cervical length.
How long did you TTC before getting a BFP? We actually weren't trying. It was my first cycle after stopping BCP
T: What has been the biggest surprise about pregnancy so far? How worried it would make me about everything!!
W: Have you had any dreams about the baby? What were they? I've had WEIRD dreams about the baby where things happened that aren't even possible. No realistic ones yet.
