we are having a boy! I was "hoping" for a girl..for a sister for my daughter as they will be closest in age, 6.5 years apart. But boys are wonderful, I already have one.. he will be almost 9 years older than his brother! Everything looks healthy so I am focusing on that and ignoring all of the cute baby girl clothes I see everywhere I go!
We found out yesterday that we're having a girl! We did Panorama which provided the gender results. Not sure how to announce the gender to our families--we're the only ones who live in NC and our parents and siblings live in four different states!
I was POSITIVE that we were having a girl! I bought wayyyyyy too many baby clothes! and NIPT results say BOY! good news is, I get to go shopping again! Bad news is, what do I do with all these GIRL CLOTHES?!??
It's a girl for us. I feel so grateful and undeserving. They called and said 100%healthy baby. We have a 4.5 year old son and i knew this was our last baby so it will be nice to experience both. My in laws have no grand daughters so cant wait to see their reactions.
@amomh we were the same boat! I told my mom it was a boy. She nearly sh*t herself ar our gender reveal when she found out it was a girl. Haha It was a lot of fun seeing everyone’s reaction since there are so many boys here too!
@sunshine2417 that would be fun! i seriously bought bags and bags of girl stuff. I’m just completely in shock. in addition to girl clothes, we had a fantastic girl name picked out. For a boy? Nothing. Luckily we have time to figure it out!
@moxyligeia I was the same - we had 100% settled on girl name and were VERY undecided on boy name - but we are having a girl! Maybe @themadcamel can trade names with you!
@moxyligeia we wanted James Sebastian for a boy. Sebastian is the Anglicized version of my grandpa's name. Our last name is Elliott, so I personally thought it sounded amazeballs. Who knows, if we end up having another one and it's a boy, we can always use it then. What was your girl name?
Dh was definitely hoping for a girl and everyone else was saying girl... so I knew it was going to be a boy lol. We're just so happy our little pinto is healthy!

@MsBeachNJ Since everyone kept saying they thought it was a girl I was starting to maybe think that too. But before they all got in my head I thought it was a boy lol.

We found out the gender of out baby nugget today and he was NOT shy! 😂 I'm over the moon and the LO could probably tell because he was kicking all day!
So ladies, I totally spoiled our gender reveal by accident! Learn from my mistake...
This is our 3rd child, and we have two boys age 1 and 3. EDD for baby #3 is 9/26 and we did the noninvasive screening since I'm of advanced maternal age (37). After learning that baby is healthy, we recieved the gender results last week in a sealed envelope from our nurse, and then gave the envelope to my friend so that she can make a cake for our party on Easter. We did a gender reveal party with our 2nd child and had a blast. Well, my doc has an online portal where I can review lab results and visit notes. I had asked for the gender results to be hidden by the lab, and I went to look at the test results online to just review the other genetic markers and results. Well, the test hid the descriptor that says male or female, but the chromosome xx or xy was showing, so I now know that we are team pink by mistake, and 4 weeks before our gender reveal party! I told my husband of this goof up, but he said that he still wants to be surprised with all our family and friends at the party. So, I'll just play along at the party, and keep the secret to myself except for sharing the news with you all now.
Adding a girl to our family of two boys is so very exciting to me and I know my family will be excited too once they learn the news. Team pink for us 💗!
Lesson learned ... dont look at the lab results if you've asked them to hold the gender results until after a gender reveal, even if you asked the lab to hide the gender results! 🤣
@northernlightsmama I'm so sorry that happened, I refuse to log into my portal now because I told them the same thing but I don't trust that they didn't upload the information! But, reveal party disappointment aside, YAY for team pink!!! So exciting!
@MsBeachNJ I was totally shocked when I looked at the lab. With baby #2 the lab hid all gender results, and I looked at the results pre reveal withwithout spoiling anything. The lab goofed up this time, but I am not that upset. I have been certain I was having a girl since I got pregnant because this pregnancy is just so different than when I was pregnant with my two boys. Now I have this little pink secret to myself for 4 weeks before everyone else finds out. The grandmas are going to totally flip with excitement - this is the first granddaughter on either sides. My husband is certain it's a boy, so I cant wait to see his face when he cuts the cake. Better to play it safe though and wait to look at labs until after your party!
@northernlightsmama yay for team pink!! So exciting! We're having a girl too and it will be the first girl on both sides so to say the grandmas are excited is an understatement lol. So sorry your surprise got ruined though, but glad you'll still get to surprise your H and family!

@northernlightsmama we won't find out till birth! Team Green all the way So I won't open my portal at all now! So exciting for the first granddaughter!!! She will certainly be a lucky spoiled girl!!
@cammie0526 I was! Best surprise and happiest moment of my life hearing my husband say "its a girl"! I burst out into happy tears. My family has a long standing tradition of not finding out. The whole extended family waits in the waiting room for the news. (I know that would drive a lot of people crazy, but I love my big crazy loud family and how excited everyone gets to welcome a new family member into the crew). We've been there for my sisters, cousins, etc. and its such a happy surprise. Wouldn't trade it for anything!!
@themadcamel we have considered both Elliot and Sebastian! My son, Justus James, is excited about his new brother. Accidentally let it slip this morning!
We were pretty set with having only two kids, we weren’t trying for a third at all. So a week before I had any clue that I should take a pregnancy test, I dreamt that we had a third, a newborn boy. which is rare for me to even remember any dream.
Well once my period was a couple of days late I took the test and BAM! I was right about the pregnancy and now it looks like I was right about it being a boy!
We can officially start calling me Miss Cleo. Also, maybe I should start buying lotto tickets!
@moxyligeia Eliza Anne is a name we are considering! Well, I am. H is ridiculous and thinks it sounds too "old" so he doesn't like it. I just love the name Eliza and Anne is my mom's MN so I hope he comes around!

I’ve peeked a couple times this week and I’m officially calling it, baby is a boy! No denying it. One of my coworkers agrees. I’ve had a feeling it was a boy this whole time.
