Well, it's definitely a baby.

At my last ultrasound, the sonographer said it was too early to tell the gender (which I think is bull because I know of people who found out at 14-15 weeks and I was 15 1/2 weeks at the time) so I have to wait until February 28. The suspense is killing me!

I guess it's better to wait because I would hate to find out one thing and later find out that they made a mistake. She said she had an idea, but she didn't want to be wrong. I hope I will have the same sonographer on the 28th so she can say whether she was right or wrong with her suspicions.

Thanks for asking. It's all very exciting!

HI Caitlin
On my last ultrasound (I was 14weeks thenn) then told me I couldn't find out till 20weeks. I thought it was earlier but maybe that is just the next time they do an ultrasound.

Good Luck...are you hoping for a boy or girl or does it matter?

My ultrasound came early...my belly started poking out there really early, so dr wanted to know if we were having twins or not. So, I got one at 15 weeks, couldn't tell the sex, baby kept putting his hands in the way!

And would you know my dr would not ask for another ultrasound? He is old fashion, and just made me wait! Oh well, the wait was totally worth it...my dh was the one to tell me what the sex was

We had a beautiful little boy!

I don't know how you did it, Candice. I am bursting at the seams to know! But I bet hearing it from your DH was way more special than a fuzzy black and white monitor. I guess I am "lucky" because I am required to have monthly ultrasounds because my pregnancy is high-risk. (I am prone to clotting and blood clots are even more likely during pregnancy so they want to keep a close eye on me and the baby.)

I have so much respect for people who choose to wait until the day of the birth, just because it must be such a rush to hear "it's a boy!" or "it's a girl!" after laboring and pushing (or after a c-section for that matter.) Has anyone here chosen to wait? And why?

As for me, I am completely on the fence as to what I want. I can honestly say that I will be equally as happy with a girl or a boy. The first time around, I reeeaaally wanted a girl and that's what I got, so I was tickled. (Would I have been disappointed with a boy? Maybe for a smidgen of a second, but a healthy baby was all I wanted.) This time, I'd be happy with 2 sisters close in age, or one of each, so I'm not leaning either way. What about you other preggers? Preferences? I was so happy for Skye22 when she found out she was having a girl because they were really routing for pink!

I only had one child. Yeah, I was curious. Everyone said I was carring like I'm having a boy. I secretly wanted a girl, but I went along with everyone and said it's a boy.

I can't tell you how thrilling it was durning that C-section to hear, 3 or 4 people yell out "It's a girl". It was truly the happiest moment of my life!!!!!

I know I'm new here, but a big Congrats to you Caitlin!!!!

I wish I could have one more baby now that I found great guy. But at 42 years old. Is it really fisable? I figure we got 5 girls between us, someone bound to make us Grandparents. lol.

Best wishes, Jo

just weeks after the baby is born. I am 14 weeks right now so we are counting down the next 6 weeks until we can find out. I am just dying to know. This will be the only biological child that I ever have so I feel the need to know & plan away. Both DH & I want a girl so bad we can hardly stand it. Whenever we talk of the baby, DH refers to it as a she or by the name we have picked out. Everything is always Lily this & Lily that with him.I have told the boys that if they get a brother they are under no circumstance to tell him that we all really wanted a girl, what we want is a healthy baby.

When I was pregnant with my daughter (10 years ago) I just had a feeling it was a girl. I had her named picked out when I was 16 so surely GOD would grant me my daughter since he took my Best Friend from me and sure enough I got my little girl Amy Jo.. And then I got pregnant with my son, but I carried him just like I did my daughter and when I went for my ultrasound with him at 5 months, the Dr. called later to tell me things looked very good and I said yeah (Ex) seems to think its a girl because he didn't see anything and she said you tell him he has no clue what he is looking for.. So that told me.. But I have to say I knew seriously what I was having before my ultrasounds.. It was intuition.. I guess. I wanted to know with both but then I didn't and then when you are talking to the Dr. you just are so excited you have to know.
I am 31 and seriously I would love to have a baby with my husband now. But then I look at our kids 22, 16, 10 and 8.. And think about the world now days and I would love it but we are both in the place of NOWAY. I love babies, and loved being pregnant and all that it was awesome.. Anyways.. just babling on (nothing new huh)

Congrats. As I said, I too, truely wanted a girl. But I kept telling my self it was a boy. Even though the BF was an asswhole, only there for me on & off. He really wanted a boy. He said his name would be Damian. I was due on Sat the 14th. All I could think was, oh great, I'm going to have a boy on Friday the 13th named Damian! Get me a .38!

And Happy, bable on, it's all good!

I'm very glad I had a girl. If I had a boy, he would have fought me tooth and nail. He did evenutally get his Damian.

How wild! And we spell it the same way! I thought I made up that spelling...I took the middle name of both my mom and my ex mil and combined them....

Anyway I prayed every single day for a girl. I truly didn't know what I'd do if I had a boy. Honestly didn't think I'd get what I wished for...and it was after the C section when we learned the news too. I was beyond ecstatic. But I was annoyed too. The doctor who delivered her was talking about his golf game to his assistant..all while my baby was being lifted out of my belly!! I was like, "fellas, hey...pay attention here...this is the most wonderful day of my life...stop talking golf!" LOL

And, I like you little jo feel the same way...Can't imagine what it would have been like to have a baby with my true love..but I am 45 and it's just not meant to be at this point.

That's probably the hardest thing to accept about the ex...as lovely as she is, I am jealous and envious because she shared the most meaningful and intimate experience a person could share with my husband. I'm going to ask God if I get to heaven..."Why didn't you let me and him have a child together?" Why did we have to meet so late in life? And have all this step/ex BS to deal with?

Oh well.

Leighann came from a childhood friend. I always thought the name was so pretty and she was such a nice girl.

They say you can't have everything. God gave us the baby girl we dreamed of, just not with the man we dreamed of.

So with the love of God, maybe we will enjoy Grandbabies together.
