Tell us about your other children.
DS is 5 and DD is 17 months
Nausea crept up on me this week which was weird. Also I have been having a lot of headaches which I never had with my first two!
Took DS to see Lego Batman at our little non-profit theater and we had a blast!!!
Rant: IM FREAKIN READY FOR SPRING
GYKY: Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Do you have a gut feeling on what you are having?
We are finding out tomorrow at 15w3d as long as nugget cooperates! I'm nearly positive it's a boy. I was right with my first two when I had this gut feeling. I will be shocked if it's a girl!!!!
DS: 10/11/14
Tell us about your other children.
We have 2 boys, Noah & Liam, 10 and 5 respectively. Our daughter Piper is coming up on 17 months. Noah is a trouble maker & Liam is the complete opposite. Liam is our non-gender conforming kiddo, who loves hello kitty dresses, barbies, princesses, and everything pink, but also digs the Paw Patrol.
All of them.
Apparently the Panaroma test I took last week was insufficient at separating the fetal blood from my blood & therefore I had to repeat the test today. Will have to wait another whole week to find out the results.
GYKY: Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Do you have a gut feeling on what you are having?
Yes. I want another girl, so therefore this baby will be a boy. LOL

GYKY: Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Do you have a gut feeling on what you are having?
We we have our ultrasound March 27th. My practice is very particular about waiting till 20 weeks. I don't have a gut feeling but he's always a boy in dreams so we will see. I don't hold much faith is my dreams though because I would have a golden retriever puppy in cute footie jammies if my dreams were right with my first.
Tell us about your other children. I have a son Wyatt who will be 3 in May. He is a very stubborn independent and smart toddler. He's makes me and my husband laugh when he cracks himself up.
GYKY: Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Do you have a gut feeling on what you are having? Not going to find out, team green. At first I was thinking girl, mainly because a psychic said girl, but now I'm thinking boy. So who knows. We didn't find out with my son, and at my last ultrasound at 40 wks when I saw the face I knew it was a boy. Maybe I'll know then again.
14 weeks today!
Tell us about your other children.
I'm over winter. Bring on the warm weather!
GYKY: Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Do you have a gut feeling on what you are having?
We are team green! We were with my son as well. Gut feeling tells me this one is a boy, I had a dream that I had another son named Connor, which is on our list of names, sooo...... secretly I'm hoping for a girl, but as long as this baby is healthy I will be beyond happy with either sex.
Tell us about your other children. Henry will be 2 in June. I can't believe that. He's hilarious and sweet. He talks like crazy and is too smart for his own good. He talks about baby a good bit and kisses my belly. He loves other kids and I can't wait to see the bond these 2 form.
What symptoms do are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies? Way less nausea and drama overall. I had an SCH at around 6 weeks with DS, got rear ended at 9, had to go to the ER for a migraine and dehydration around 12/13 weeks. It's like I'm waiting for something to happen because it's been so much smoother this time. I am happy I am getting to enjoy it more this time.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I'm really concerned about the flu. DS and I got shots but DH never did. Apparently there are some bad shot resistant strains going around and in Georgia. It makes me want to be a hermit.
GTKY: Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Do you have a gut feeling on what you are having? Yes, I'm dying to find out. I want to do an early ultrasound at 16 weeks but I can't get DH on board. I don't have a feeling this time. I was convinced DS was a girl. DH actually argued with the ultrasound technician because we couldn't believe it. I'd like to have one of each, but another boy is ok, too.
11+6
Tell us about your other children.
My eating habits really need to improve. Carbs are the only thing that seem to help with my nausea, but I feel like I go overboard especially at night. I was pretty happy with my weight/body before getting pregnant this time around and I gained a lot with my other pregnancies. I was hoping to not gain as much this time so it was tough to lose the last 20 or so after DS2. It's hard to see the scale go up quite a bit already.
GYKY: Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Do you have a gut feeling on what you are having?
We're Team Green for the third time. I love the delivery room surprise. I'm going to assume it's another boy just because DH and his family seem to have almost all boys. I was leaning towards girl with my first and was 50/50 with my second so clearly my gut means nothing.
Tell us about your other children. Natalie turned 2 in Nov. She is the love of our lives. She changed our whole world and everything we knew in it to be normal. We've had a very rough 2 years with her as she's been diagnosed with more than 15 life threatening allergies, and there's been too many doctors visits and ER trips to count. But we love her more than life itself and we are so excited to introduce her to her new best friend in August.
What symptoms do are you having? How does it compare to your previous pregnancies? I've had about the same symptoms except I've been more tired and less nausea.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I work an insane amount of hours and I've just been questioning whether I want to continue down the career path I'm on. I don't want to get to the end of my life and regret not being with my kids more. It's been weighing heavy on me lately.
GTKY: Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Do you have a gut feeling on what you are having? 26 days until we find out. Not like I'm counting but yes, I'm waaaay to much of a planner to not find out! I have to know! I have a gut feeling it's another girl, but I was totally wrong with my gut feeling for my first so we will see. I don't care either way -I just want a healthy baby!
** 15 weeks today! (But measuring farther along. I will know for sure next Monday)
Tell us about your other children.
**Currently, only symptom I'm having is sore breasts. Oh! And I'm ALWAYS tired. Same as my last pregnancy but I didn't have nearly as much morning sickness with this one as I did with my DD.
**How many mommies found out their baby's gender at 16 weeks? I found out my DD'S that early, but the hubby couldn't stand waiting a couple more weeks to ensure we would find out, and my doctor only does one ultrasound unless another is necessary.
GYKY: Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Do you have a gut feeling on what you are having?
**Hopefully! I have a feeling it's a girl, but we will see!
14+3, but baby was measuring 2 days ahead later u/s
Tell us about your other children.
DS is 2. He currently loves temper tantrums over nothing, Donald Duck, reading, climbing and doing things himself. New words are coming out everyday.
GYKY: Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Do you have a gut feeling on what you are having?
Yes. I will and my husband won't. I refuse to tell anyone since DH wants to be surprised and my mom is calling me selfish. *Sigh* We had the NIPT bloodwork because we are a bit older and I know with 95-98% accuracy. Waiting until my next appointment and the anatomic scan on March 16th to confirm.
Tell us about your other children. DS is 3 and very sweet and funny. He is very attached to me and DH (he is the one who screamed every time I left the first 2 weeks of preschool). We go to a co-op preschool so all the other parents know him and always tell me how great he is doing now and what a nice sweet kid he is. I am hoping number 2 isn't quite as attached.
GYKY: Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Do you have a gut feeling on what you are having? I am AMA so I already know we are having a girl. Before I knew I would only let myself contemplate it being another boy because I wanted a girl and didn't want to be disappointing. I am excited to have one of each, they will be 4 years apart and if they were closer together in age I would have wanted 2 boys.
Tell us about your other children. Our blonde, curly-haired, DD will be 3 in June.
Still heartburn every now and then (different than first pregnancy). Otherwise I'm doing pretty good.
Why doesn't it never fail that DD sleeps in when DH needs to get up with her? Then the next day she wakes up an hour early for me. Ugh!
GYKY: Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Do you have a gut feeling on what you are having?
Team Green and no gut feeling.

Tell us about your other children. I have a DD who is 4 and a DD who is 2.5.
GYKY: Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Do you have a gut feeling on what you are having?
We are not planning on finding out right now. My initial gut reaction was boy, but it could go either way the way I am feeling right now.

My sweet pea is 3 years old and I love her personality. A lot of love, a ton of sass and to smart for her own good. But don't all mom's say that. She really is a sassy pants.
Symptoms: headaches, exhaustion and body acne.
Rants: i just want to be lazy all day. Boo work
Gtky: yes we will find out but it's still 5 weeks away.
My gut is this feels like a girl, but I'm scared to get my brain set on that so I'm trying to think boy vibes to so my brain is prepared for both results. It was the same with my daughter too, felt like a girl and I convinced myself it could be a boy. Everybody thought she was a a boy and everyone thinks this one is a boy too. This one heart rate is just so high, even higher then DD it's hard for me to ignore. If you had boys with high heart rates please tell me to help squish my feelings. Haha

I have 4 children, DD 19, DS 18, DD 13, DD 9 1/2.
My older two are in college and are super excited for a baby to come into our family. The younger two are obsessed with the idea! It's pretty awesome. They are all really sweet and kind people and they get along well, the age difference doesn't seem to divide them much. I'm really thankful for that.
What symptoms are you having?:
Headaches this past week. Trying to stay hydrated. My nausea is so much better the past few days. I've discontinued using diclegis which I've been on for the past 6 weeks (three times a day). I do still take unisom at night.
Waking up super early every morning between 5-6am to pee and then I can't go back to sleep.
Also, starting to feel baby move around!
Rants:
I do wish life were a little easier right now, my fiancé has a rare autoimmune brain disease and so we are at a lot of drs Appt's....last week he had oral surgery to replace a bridge that broke. Then he slipped on ice, dislocating his shoulder and chipping/fracturing it! Not looking forward to coming up for an extra 1500- in the next 7 weeks!
Not to mention he's been out of commission all week. I feel like one of the original pioneers that made their way out west encountering a multitude of obstacles and hardships. (Okay, maybe it's not THAT bad, but you get the point.)
GTKY:
We found out last week with our genetic results that we are having a healthy girl!
We've had a name picked out for 2.5 years now (which is how long we've suffered losses & infertility), her name is Fiona Sparrow Mae.
Really excited to be here
I had to do mine twice too. The first time they did the blood draw through my hand and when I went back for round two the nurses told me this test had to be drawn from the arm. Such a waste of time but totally worth it to know baby is healthy.
My daughter is 6 going on 16 and is in first grade. We also have a 4 year old son, starting Kindergarten next year. My son is probably more excited for the baby out of the two..
Symptoms/rant all in one: I have had three colds in the last 6 weeks. I am so over being exhausted and sick on top of it. We need spring so I can open up the windows.
I am AMA so we had the testing done and found out we are having a boy. Super excited.
I have two boys who are both firery red heads. My oldest is 7 and looks like Opie. My youngest is my little politician and is 4.
Symptoms: I am exhausted all of the time. The baby moves all night and is keeping me up from excitement.
Rants:. I am exhausted and am having a hard maintaining a clean house. My husband is not as understanding as he could be. He forgets I am 7 years older than my first pregnancy.
GTKY:. We are having a girl! Confirmed by blood test. We are over the moon excited! She was a big surprise that we were not expecting but she will complete us. We are leaning toward naming her Clara Rose.
Tell us about your other children. I have 2 year old boy who is the love of my life. We had a missed miscarriage in August.
my husbands family last weekend- my father-in-laws immediate response "I knew you were because you look so
much heavier." Gee thanks. (I'm probably 5 lbs heavier.).
GYKY: Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Do you have a gut feeling on what you are having? We're having a girl- still adjusting to the idea. I was shocked and thought for sure it was a boy. Just can't see myself raising a girl.
13 wks
Tell us about your other children.
What symptoms are you having? Some nausea, fatigue, headaches started up a week ago (i hadn't had any before that which was a miracle for me), and the bloating! How does it compare to your previous pregnancies? About the same. Not quite as bad a last pregnancy thankfully!
GYKY: Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Absolutely! Do you have a gut feeling on what you are having? Feeling like it's a boy. We do have a pattern after all. A girl would be a little easier though. We will be happy with either of course.
Tell us about your other children.
DD is three and such a little monster. Too smart for her own good and is so excited to be a big sister.
GYKY: Are you going to find out the sex of your baby? Do you have a gut feeling on what you are having?
We're team green this time but my gut says a boy! I've dreamt be was a boy and DD swears he is too so he shall be a boy until he pops out a girl:)
@kristenk727 that's how we named DD!! The night before we found out she was a girl I had a dream that she was and that we named her Elena Jane. So we did
