Hi ladies!

Sarah and Alana--Congratulations on your news of boys!!

Katrina--so glad to hear Madison is thriving Please don't feel bad about not posting, I'm sure we can all relate to the various pressures that come into play.

The pressure is on for genders tomorrow, I certainly hope they can tell me. Last u/s the tech guessed two girls, but then the doc didn't agree with her opinion. It was a bit early a few weeks ago but almost 19.5 weeks tomorrow so it should be a good time to see, if they cooperate. I'd really love to know and will be sure to report back in the afternoon with the news. I do have some u/s photos but have to ask my husband to find, hookup and scan the images, but I'd like to get some posted here too.

Sarah & Alana- YAY ...more boys for this thread! I hadn't guessed on yours Sarah but Alana I'm alittle proud I guessed right on yours! I'm here at work so it was funny when I read the posts cause I yelled out YAY, just as one of my co-workers said " I won't see yall till next week", she was offended but laughed after I told her what my "YAY" was for!

Shelley and Alana-Loved looking at the u/s pics!

Justine & Tracy-good luck with your scan tomorrow, can't wait to hear your news!!

Lol...thats too funny Elisa. I remember you guessed right, its funny but sooooo many people thought I was having a boy its weird. I had no idea either way, however after lasts weeks scan I was convinced they would be a girl. It was fun to get a surprise. At this stage we're thinking the name will be Reed Alexander. DH loves this name. I also loved the name Mason but we are sticking with Reed. I guess they could also be Reed Mason.

Justine, I will be waiting tomorrow afternoon for your results. Maybe you will have one of each in there? Either way, its going to be so much fun to have double the trouble, and just think...we can all finally buy bedding and decor.

Elisa - since it isn't in my signature just thought I'd let you know that my EDD is September 18th. That is when I will be 37 weeks - my official due date for development, etc. is October 9th. That is why I don't really know where I fit for a due date buddies group :-)!

Congrats Alana and Sarah on your boys!!!!

Ok a few questions...how is everyone's sex life??? I have no desire while DH wants it all of the time! Just wondering how everyone else is feeling?

Next question- How do I get DH to stop buying baby clothes!?!?!!? He is so sweet but today when we went shopping, he bought two summer outfits and I am not due until the end of September. Some years it is still a little warm at the end of September but not always. He was so excited so I let him buy them even though I am pretty doubtful that Madison will even get to wear them. Oh well he is just excited for his little girl....it is sweet!!!!

Alana-yaaaaay for boys! I will have to check out your pics. Reed is a great name!!

Ebru-that sounds like ligament pain but check with the doctor. And I too notice pain in my one leg when I do a lot of walking or have a busy day at work. Cant wait until your u/s!

Justine-tomorrow is the big day!!! Hopefully they will both be bottoms up!

Katrina-yeah right! My sex life is non-existent, unless I am dreaming!

Cant wait for all the other upcoming u/s!!!


I wont make any guesses because I do believe I have been wrong the whole time! ANyhoo here are some pictures.

Alana-the picture is fantastic!!! I love the little leg up above his head! Did they tell you where your placenta is? Mine is in the back so they said I will be feeling him a lot soon!!

Oh and how much should the baby weigh at this point, my tech said she would guess close to a pound, but that seems high for this stage doesnt it? Ok I am starting to get emotional, this is really happening isnt it? There really is a baby growing inside of me? Ok gotta go find the tissues!

Love all the pictures ladies!!

Katrina...what is sex??? I also have absolutely NO desire, and my DH is also wanting it ALL the time. I just feel so tired at the end of the day, and ANY pressure on my belly hurts. Yes, I know there are other ways to do it, but they all just seem uncomfortable with my big belly.

My dh is in his words "freaked out" about sex. He just can't do it. We weren't allowed for the first trimester and now that my belly is growing and we are beginning to think there are really babies in there, he just can't stop thinking about it and said that we will make up for lost time after they are born (yes he is delusional). I even asked what his main concerns were and he said he didn't want to hurt them and didn't want to get stuff on them - ok, sounds like someone needs to do some reading about how all this works - and doesn't want to hurt me or cause bleeding (which has been absent for a couple of months now thank god) but, I have to admit that most nights (or mornings) I have just not felt up to it - I have had a lot of back pain already! That being said there are some dreams that make me think this could be a really good time :-)!!!
