Due August 2018

Morning ladies, it really is so exciting to see the scan photo's and if you think about it, ppl have only been able to get scan photo's of babies for maybe 15 or so years, before it was more just the doppler and measurements of the tummy and all that stuff. Really amazing to thing what medical science has done for us.

@Jay-bee - also did the baby dust method, for the girl try (i'm sure you know) it is once, 2-3 days before you ovulate, we were on our 6th month of TTC when I got pregnant (there were two months in there that we went the IUI route to see if we can get a girl but I did not get pregnant either time). I was starting to lose hope a bit and was going to go for just having a baby when I got pregnant, didnt honestly think I would get pregnant when I did, I thought my ovulation was out by a day (further). I used a different kind of OPK and they were TERRIBLE, I am pretty sure I still was able to pick up the surge, but not 100% sure and based off of CM, I think I ovulated a day later. If I ovulated a day later it would be more like 3-3.5 days away from ovulation that we BD'd. Lots of ladies on that group said 4+ days away and they got a boy, so will really have to see. But I think I ovulated later in the night of the 2nd day so that would be perfectly smack dab in the middle of 2-3 days. Anyway, I have my NT scan tomorrow and they are pretty damn good with nub shots there to tell you what you are having so we will see then what goes for what. I am nervous as hell TBH.

How are you ladies sleeping? I seem to fall asleep pretty quickly but then I sleep so light, i wake up at the slightest of movement or sound and it then takes me ages to go back to sleep. My husband likes to cuddle and as soon as he touches me I am wide awake and then listening to him sleep just pisses me off.

Anyway, so this weekend, my youngest (he will be 2 in Feb) when he was supposed to have his afternoon nap was just talking away, so I went to him only to find that he had a pooh nappy and had gotten some pooh out of the nappy and had rubbed it EVERYWHERE, in his hair, his legs, over his tummy, on the walls, all over the bedding, his crib, literally everywhere, so cleaned him up and then tried to get him to sleep again. This morning, same thing. Maybe not to the extent it was over the weekend, but still to the point where I had to go wash him off and I just think to myself...I am doing this all over again...got a bit of a oh sh!t moment there, but got over myself quickly...do you ladies get that?

According to the scan I was 7w 2d on 14 January. So currently 8w 4d

Hi Reese, I am still alive and kicking... barely, but still here. This past weekend I was terribly sick, but I should only have 3 more weeks of this, looking forward. It's the strangest things that trigger my sickness, like cucumber, the apple I had yesterday tasted awful. And I can also agree on the tiredness, all I want to do is nap.

I had my first scan a week ago at 8 weeks, and my next check up is on the 11th of Feb for 12 weeks.

I commend you ladies for wanting to go the cloth route, I am such a city girl that I can't imagine doing it myself.

@ Reece, lovely pics of the twins. I agree with Carien and don't bet on what people say about the nub shot. I say boy and girl.

@ Carien, we swayed boy for the first 2 months with the baby dust method which is only to BD once you get a blazing OPK and then 24h after that only in your whole cycle. The chances were way to slim so we just went for every 2nd day the cycle I got my BFP. I think it's a girl but will be pleasantly surprised if its a boy but yes it is really a 50/50 chance. I hope your nausea gets better and FX that you get to see what gender it is at your scan.

@ Chanti, I am definitely going to go the cloth route and thinking that am going to use flannel/cotton flats in the beginning and when baby is +- 5kg buy the 70x70 hemp flats. They grow out of the newborn flat size so quickly and I don't want to waste money but I know that I can use the newborn hemp flats as a booster for the pockets but it just seems like a waste. So probably DIY receiver blanket 50x50 flats and waterproof/cover and then later the hemp flats and pockets. Good luck with your scan and don't forget to post pics.

AFM, had terribly bad nausea and car sickness type on Saturday, was on the couch the whole day and was so hungry but couldn't eat. I don't know how you ladies do it, I take my hat off to you. I am wearing my sea/motion/morning sickness armband now and haven't felt like that again... fluke not sure.
My scan is on the 2 Feb and really I cannot wait to find out if baby is healthy and growing like it should. The wait is killing me.

Thanks Carien. I might be going for a private scan on Wednesday to check all is well with babies. Might sneek a peek at gender.

Good luck with the nausea, I think we need to give it a bit more time to settle. I'm also not feeling so great in the afternoons.

Enjoy the rest of the afternoon.

@Reese - I think if someone told you they saw a nub shot they might be seeing something that I am not, dont see any clear nub shots there, so I think dont put too much stock in that just yet. You might still have a boy in there.

I really thought that going into the 2nd trimester would mean I would be less nauseous but I honestly think I am more nauseous, especially if going by last week. I dont want to be one of those women who complain about pregnancy symptoms, especially since there are soooo many women who would die to be in my shoes, just saying, i am struggling a bit under the nausea.

I have more than enough to keep myself busy till my apt on wednesday, but it is still at the forefront of my mind.

Hoping everyone else is having a good monday
