tngrl3 Good luck at your US Friday! I'm sure it will go perfectly  cch I love the idea of using your father's name as a middle name. DD has the feminine version of SO's late father's name and we will likely use his name as a MN for a boy as well. I love that it has that significance. hrh I love family names. I'm hoping to use them for this LO as well!

wildflowers what did your DDs think? I’m looking forward to telling my 3yo DD. She “knows” bc she’s talked about the baby in mommy’s belly, even before we found out 😳 She’s continued talking about it over the past few weeks but we haven’t confirmed anything. I think my girls were pretty suspicious already. They have been asking me for a long time to please try for another baby. They knew I haven't been feeling well. DD2 (4) is very excited. DD1 (6) was not happy. She is feeling better about as a few days have gone by, but it is a big change and she is worried about it. She said she likes our family and she doesn't want it to change. It caught me off guard, but I think is a perfectly valid and appropriate way to feel. My DD is also less than excited about the prospect of a baby. She told me she doesn't want to have to share me with anyone else:( I'm hoping as the belly gets bigger she'll start getting excited. I haven't told her absolutely yet...I'm waiting until at least 1 good us...but I've been trying to warm her to it. It doesn't help that her 14 year old cousin always goes on and on about how she wishes she were an only child and how DD is so lucky not to have any brothers or sisters. Grrr. |

CharlieB They couldn't even find the hb at 12 weeks on the doppler when I was pregnant with DD. Luckily I had my NT scan a couple of days later because it gave me a minor heart attack.

stayingblonde sorry you're sick. Hopefully it passes quickly and enjoy your appt today! Poor DD had to sit there for an hour yesterday as they went through all the millions of questions...which is crazy to me since I JUST did this with them a year ago. Blah.

Sorry for the 8 million posts. Wanted to get as much in as possible before I start throwing up.
Sorry to everyone struggling with PGAL. It's the worst. Every time I go to say baby I always add "the possible baby". Hoping today's US helps and shows what it's supposed to!

This is it exactly! I have never been hesitant about a boy before, but now it just seems so hard! wildflowers I'm scared of having a boy too. Which is funny because I have always really wanted boys. I think you get comfortable with what you know. I know what to expect with a girl but know nothing about boys! |

Lurking sammysam I hope your ultrasound is fantastic today! Thanks:) Sadly it was a repeat of last year so we're gearing up for another d&c probably in the next couple of weeks. I guess we're just destined to be a family of 3:) |

It's the next few weeks that will be the worst but then it's just getting back into the groove of being a OAD family. Still rooting so hard for you. I'll still be lurking constantly and cheering you on. I can't wait to see all the baby pictures in January:) |

I guess the universe is just telling us we're good as we are. DD will just be one spoiled little girl. |

strawberrykiki definitely recommend it! It’s great for this in between time, where things are tight, but you’re not ready to commit to full on maternity wardrobe. I think I got mine at target for very reasonable

Wish I was a fan of the belly band, I just didn’t love it when I was pregnant with my daughter 🤷🏼♀️ I bit the bullet and bought a pair of side panel shorts at Target this week though. I’m surprised at how comfy they are! I only have full panel pants from DD but I really like how these feel/ fit.

Saw Baby L today, measuring right on, heart rate of 136 at 7 weeks. Where they saw the bleed last week, today they found what looks like a second gestational sac and yolk sac, from a lost twin that was not viable. It is very confusing news, not sure how to feel about it, feeling a little sad and wistful, but also so thankful that Baby L is okay. Spotting has slowed almost to a stop so that's good.
