We found out that we're having a BOY, DH is over the moon

@mrsjenbug: congrats!!

@mrsjenbug: congrats!

I'm so excited. I wasn't sure what movement would feel like and for the past month I thought I might have been feeling what could be movement. but I think I was wrong about it. In the last week I finally feel flutters and what feels like gas bubbles in my stomach all the time, so I think now I'm finally feeling something! I can't wait for DH to be able to feel it too.

I had my anatomy scan today. Everything looked great with the baby and she's still a girl. My doctor did tell me that I would be getting monthly growth ultrasounds, but didn't mention why. I also got a prescription for the TDap vaccine and hospital registration info. I feel like time is going to go by much faster now!

Does anyone else have to go for monthly scans?

@Mrs. Pickle: hm I wonder why! I have my detailed anatomy scan in early June, and then assuming every thing is ok, I have a detailed growth U/s at 32 weeks. Although actually my OB does a quick U/S at every appt, and can get measurments of the head, etc then, so maybe that's the same thing? It's standard at her office.

More looks at the baby are always fun though

@Mrs. Pickle: It was. They made me go walk around to try and get the baby to move / flip, but I guess it's just super lazy and comfy. I also hadn't eaten in 4 hours because I felt queasy from nerves so she suggested I eat next time. My friend suggested I drink juice because she had something similar happen to her and had to go for a repeat a few weeks later because they couldn't get a good view of the heart.

And I even told her I was quite nervous beforehand...but she didn't really say a lot.

@Mrs. Goose: ugh boo! I have also heard that juice or something sugary can help. Based on the fact that we have been almost evenly split, I am guessing you are having a girl

Thank you guys so much! We are excited! I'm a little nervous about how different I am sure it is to have a boy

@justjules: congrats on your boy!!! I agree, it feels more real knowing the gender for some reason. (I don't know how the other 2nd/3rd time moms feel but I still feel that way with my second.)

@justjules: yay congrats!!

@justjules: congrats on your

@2littlepumpkins: I went to Baby-r-us and Buy buy baby for the first time. I wanted to finish our registry but I was light headed. It was good having DH there. I think we are a bit closer to deciding our nursery theme. We were thinking coral, green, navy blue and gray and picking the coral color for the girl and green for boy, but going to the baby stores made me realize coral is not a standard color. So DH and I decided to go with lavender for the girl color. I'll definitely need to go back soon.

@justjules: congrats!!

@bluestriped bee: those colours sound nice! I can't wait to see your room all set up.

We painted DDs room this weekend, I can't wait to get it all set up! Our nursery is neutral so I won't need to make any changes there.

Other than that things are pretty quiet here...hard to believe the first half of this pregnancy is over!

@JessKas: yay! Another boy, they have caught up I think!

@bluestriped bee: those colors sound great! I have found some coral and navy bedding, and lots of stuff on etsy.

@justjules: @JessKas: congrats on your boys!!

@2littlepumpkins: It feels more real to me too after finding out the gender, and I'm a 2nd time mom as well. It helps me better imagine the baby and what things will be like after they are born. I have trouble making plans for anything- including a name or the nursery- until after I know if it's a boy or a girl.

@bluestriped bee: For DD1's room we did lavender and yellow. I liked that the lavender looks feminine, but that it's not pink. I am considering pink for this LO's room though- maybe pink/orange or pink/blue. Not sure yet though.

@JessKas: Congrats on the little boy! I agree that this pregnancy is going by fast now. I'm thinking it might help that the next few months are summer months- I always feel like summer goes by quicker for me than winter and spring.

@JessKas: congrats on your healthy baby boy!!

@hilsy85: we are in the opposite situation- we just donated all the itty bitty baby girl stuff! I can't believe my daughter was really ever that small!

I agree that this pregnancy is flying by! With DS1 I felt like the weeks just crawled.

Anatomy scan tomorrow! DH can't come with me and I'm getting a little nervous...we didn't do any genetic screening like we did last time and I'm just anxious to hear that everything looks good.

@2littlepumpkins: That's a good idea! I'll ask if I can take a quick video for him. Thanks! As awesome as the pictures are, it's so much fun to see the baby wiggling and moving around.

@hilsy85: @Mrs. Pickle: @cranberry: @Bea: @NovBaby1112: Thanks!!

@2littlepumpkins: thanks! I just packed up all our girl clothes too. SO TINY! Makes my 21 month old look massive in comparison.

@jodyblair: good luck tomorrow!

@babycanuck: I didn't feel movement with my first until after 20 weeks.
