So glad it actually worked out well. And I love the idea of everyone finding out right when they enter the door. How fun would it be if you could set up a secret camera and get everyone's reactions right when they walk in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1424580 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 13:13:13 +0000 Aandmklover 1424580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: @Mrs.Someone: we had a gender reveal shower for DS and I loved how it worked out. Only a hand full of people knew and they decorated the place in all blue so everyone found out as they walked in and everyone was so excited. It was also awesome because we got all of out big gifts (in gender neutral) and very few clothes. DS has always been small so clothes a were hard for us because he never fits in the size he should. Most people got him 9-12 months for last summer and he was still only in 6 month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1421700 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 17:55:46 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1421700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: that's a great idea! Maybe we'll do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1421276 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 16:08:09 +0000 sera_87 1421276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My symptoms say girl - acne, little nausea, extreme exhaustion....</p> <p>I don't really have a preference except a slight leaning towards boy if I HAD to choose. SO comes from a family of 2 boys so that helps. Chinese gender chart is no help this time around as one says boy and the other says girl. I didn't ask about the nub theory when I went for my NT scan an I kind of regret it but i figured the tech would just think me a crazy Internet lady if I did lol. </p> <p>When we find out I plan on buying the "appropriate" coloured balloons and have lo#2 hold them &amp; take a picture of it to announce the whole deal on social media.</p> <p>Basically all that to say I have no idea and can't wait to find out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1421021 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 15:07:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1421021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So exciting everyone finding out soon! We are Team Green! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1421017 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 15:06:01 +0000 JennyPenny 1421017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babybean404: For the ring test, you tie your wedding ring to a string, lay down on your back and have someone hold the string over your belly. They hold the ring still at first then let go - if it swings in a straight line, its a boy, if it swings in a circular shape, its a girl :)</p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: Yep, that was one hesitation we have too - but we figure the boys won't really care that much anyway. But maybe during the shower I should have DH go out with his closest guy friends and he can announce if he wants... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1420527 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 13:15:19 +0000 babybean404 1420527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kodybear: some places said "as early as" 16 weeks, some said "as early as" 15 or 16 weeks. I did ask if it would be better to wait and the tech said that as long as the baby is willing to uncross its legs, you can definitely tell at 15 weeks. </p> <p>I did confirm before we booked it that they would rescan for free if they couldn't tell us the gender. So I felt like it was almost worth going early...we would either find out or get 2 scans for the price of one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1420469 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 13:02:29 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1420469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: Thats my thought on the shower too! DH and I were talking about it last night though, and the only problem with it is that just the girls would be in on the surprise, guys would be left out (not that they care as much though). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1420458 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 12:58:24 +0000 kodybear 1420458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babybean404: is 15 weeks the earliest places will do the gender prediction? And I am also wanting a girl this time so my lo has a sister! Me and my sister r 23 months apart and I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1420415 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 12:44:43 +0000 babybean404 1420415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone @mrskc @Aandmklover @JennyPenny @kodybear thanks y'all!!!</p> <p>@JennyPenny: What's the ring test? I think that is a great idea to wait for the shower! Also that would maybe stop people from overloading you with clothes...they might get other stuff instead!</p> <p>@kodybear and @Aandmklover I think that with any future pregnancy I'd be OK with being team green too. I would love one of each, but I don't have any siblings and I always wanted a sister so having 2 girls would be awesome too. For this time I felt like $100 was too much to spend just to satisfy my curiosity but when I got a place to price match I was all about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1420348 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 12:20:28 +0000 kodybear 1420348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babybean404: congrats on your baby girl!! </p> <p>you all who have found out already make me want to get an elective u/s sooner! but i'll likely find out at the anatomy scan in mid march. i'm pretty confident its a girl. hah solely based on the fact that my pregnancies have been nearly identical and my first is a girl. i couldn't find the nub in my nt scan pictures, chinese test says girl, and heartrate says girl! i'd be surprised if it was a boy, altho we would still be happy with a boy. we're kind of half team green. dh doesn't want to know, i can't stand not knowing, so i'm going to find out and not tell him. not sure if it'll work. it kind of worked last time altho i was never 100% sure last time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1420307 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 12:06:06 +0000 JennyPenny 1420307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babybean404: Congratulations on your baby girl! So exciting :)</p> <p>I've had a feeling since day 1 that this little bean is a boy. Chinese gender test says boy, and so does the ring test. </p> <p>I've gone back and forth about which I would prefer. I see a cute dress and think, "aww, I hope its a girl!", then I see cute pics of DH as a toddler and think "aww, I hope its a boy!" We'll find out at our anatomy scan in March, but I'm thinking of not telling anyone till the shower which is planned for April. I like the idea of a gender reveal party - but didn't want a whole separate party...and this way I'll hopefully get more gender neutral stuff which is nice too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1420212 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:38:27 +0000 Aandmklover 1420212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babybean404: Yay! Congratulations on your little girl!! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1420209 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:37:26 +0000 Aandmklover 1420209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chinese gender says a boy but it also said DS was a girl. Who knows!! I haven't looked into anything else. </p> <p>This pregnancy has been a little different than with DS. We would like a girl so we could have one of each but DS would be a great big brother to a little boy too! </p> <p>We are team green this time so we have to wait until he/she arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1420054 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 10:43:28 +0000 mrskc 1420054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babybean404: congrats on your girl!!!</p> <p>We have an elective u/s on 2/28 to find out! I'm so excited. I'm really hoping for a girl since we have a boy already. I'm trying to prepare that it could be a boy too but both DH and I are thinking girl. </p> <p>I'm not sure how we'll reveal yet. hmmmm need to think about that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1419933 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 10:11:14 +0000 regberadaisy 1419933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not big into guessing genders so I don't read any of that, even for fun. I know, I'm a party pooper. ;)</p> <p>If it's a boy we will definitely do something exciting only because he will be the first boy of this generation on DH's side. And probably only boy since we're the last to have kids. So it will be pretty EPIC.</p> <p>We have no interest in not finding out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1419925 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 10:10:06 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1419925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babybean404: Yay, how exciting! So far its all girls for the 2 of you that know :)</p> <p>So far, heart rate and the Chinese predictor said girl, but we wont know for quite some time now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1419907 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 10:02:46 +0000 pui 1419907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babybean404: Yeah I was thinking of doing a gender reveal so I wouldn't know either at first too, but I don't want to miss any part of my ultrasounds!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1419904 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 10:01:17 +0000 babybean404 1419904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: I am going to make cupcakes tomorrow to bring to work! i'll let you know if i find a good recipe.</p> <p>We were originally thinking of having a bakery do cupcakes so we wouldn't know either...we decided against it and I'm really glad. I loved being able to see what the tech was seeing during the appointment. We also have it on DVD! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1419900 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 09:59:10 +0000 babybean404 1419900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chinese gender predictor said girl, heart rate predictor said boy, nub theory/ultrasound tech said girl.</p> <p>I predicted boy (really wanted a girl eventually so I was trying to get used to the idea of a boy!). </p> <p>I found a coupon for a $50 elective ultrasound and decided it was worth it to find out earlier. I went yesterday at 15 weeks. It's a girl!!! We're so excited and so glad to know!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1419895 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 09:57:49 +0000 pui 1419895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The one Chinese predictor thing said girl. I'm having a ultrasound today (12w5d) so maybe I'll get some nub pics! :)</p> <p>I am SO excited to know and I can't wait to find out!!!</p> <p>I haven't really thought about how I'll reveal the gender. Maybe I'll do a mini gender reveal and make cupcakes with pink or blue icing inside to give to my family or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aug14-gender-non-gold#post-1419888 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 09:55:41 +0000 babybean404 1419888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A thread we can use to discuss gender predictions and reveals!</p> <p>What do nub theory, chinese gender predictor, and heart rate predictor say about your baby's gender?</p> <p>Are you going to find out or are you team green?</p> <p>How will you reveal to family and friends? </p>
