Elley rocked so many worlds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-179811 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 17:51:24 +0000 lovehoneybee 179811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm awful at reading ultrasounds, even when it's plainly obvious, nub or right there in your face junk, but my gut says you're having a boy. And I'm rarely wrong on the internet guessing.</p> <p>Although I was sure Elley was having a girl, so there's that ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-179796 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 17:37:28 +0000 Running Elley 179796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: LOL!!!! Just snorted at my desk. I'm pretty convinced that BHo is a boy so you will NOT be having those issues. (However, my tuition is obviously noi very sound)<br /> I CANNOT wait until your U/S next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-179793 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 17:35:46 +0000 PrincessBaby 179793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: I think you know I'll be in complete and utter shock if BHo is a girl! K said he's not letting me return any of the clothes I bought. I'll just dress our daughter like a boy and that should teach me for next time. Meanwhile our daughter will have tons of gender issues and terrible baby photos to show at her HS Graduation/Wedding. Fabulous parenting already, K!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-179783 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 17:27:25 +0000 Running Elley 179783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chastenet: Seriously. SERIOUSLY. The only thing I can think of is that my U/S was at 12w1d and maybe little man's nub hadn't "sprung" yet like J was talking about? No clue. Complete and utter shock lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-179769 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 17:03:37 +0000 Chastenet 179769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: I'm glad to find you here, I got worried when I didn't see you anymore on WB! I think that is a boy nub! But after Running Elley's surprise, I am sceptic of my nub-reading abilities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-177500 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 16:35:43 +0000 PrincessBaby 177500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooohhh I missed all the others weighing in here! I guess I stopped getting notifications...Thanks everyone for taking a gander! I'm super excited that everyone seems to think boy!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-173669 Wed, 30 May 2012 14:23:24 +0000 Running Elley 173669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boy boy boy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-173654 Wed, 30 May 2012 14:14:09 +0000 banana 173654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say boy. Looks like my son's nub pic, which was way different than the one I got for this baby (girl). I say BOY! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-173623 Wed, 30 May 2012 13:56:22 +0000 LuLu Mom 173623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-173530 Wed, 30 May 2012 12:57:48 +0000 sorrycharlie 173530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also think boy! Our girl nub pic was like highwire, entirely flat. It was confirmed girl at a 15w elective US and again at 18w anatomy scan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-173526 Wed, 30 May 2012 12:55:11 +0000 ladyfingers 173526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That totally looks like a boy! Woohoo -- and triple woohoo for healthiness!! I love that name, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-173524 Wed, 30 May 2012 12:53:33 +0000 DillonLion 173524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our girl ultrasound pic has a nub that is completely horizontal...so very different from that picture. I'm calling boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-173449 Wed, 30 May 2012 11:58:18 +0000 MrsMccarthy 173449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hehe yeah that's my wedding picture. i was skinny with long hair last year. now i am a round preggie with short hair.<br /> i don;t think they want your cash. most Ultrasound techs wont give you 100% ever! not even if there is a penis right there plain as day. they arent supposed to because ultrasounds can be tricky and things can be swollen or obscured. 12 weeks is early but the nub theory does have a nice 80% to it. 15 weeks may be early but so long as you don't forgo the 18-20 week id say go for it. most of them are accurate AND like i said before, i don;t think there is anything wrong with a girl dressed in some boyish clothes if you were in that small minority of mis-guesses. But i really think you are intuiting right. That looks like a boy nub to me hands down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-171244 Mon, 28 May 2012 18:12:25 +0000 googly-eyes 171244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL I don't think you're the only one! On my Babycenter birth board people started to buy things really early. I didn't buy anything totally gender specific until the anatomy scan but I did buy like sports teams onesies... </p> <p>I've kept receipts but I don't know off the top of my head how long the return period is so it might be for nothing since by the time of my next scan (to check the placenta at 30+weeks) it might be over!!<br /> ETA Luckily we've bought gender neutral gear, it's just clothes..(lots of them bought by us and our mothers!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-171241 Mon, 28 May 2012 18:00:21 +0000 PrincessBaby 171241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: thank you!!!</p> <p>@googly-eyes: thank you for looking! I'm saving receipts for sure:). I'm kind of embarassed to say that I have already purchased a wardrobe, so we'll definitely be returning a lot if it's a girl. And I'll feel SO embarassed. And DH will NEVER let me live it down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-171238 Mon, 28 May 2012 17:56:26 +0000 googly-eyes 171238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm no expert (as I'm sure I've read the same websites as you!) but my gut reaction is definitely boy. My girl nub shot looks much more flat. Hope you get Nash Michael, but in case you don't...I have a couple "boy" outfits I'll totally be dressing our girl in so you wouldn't be alone!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-169822 Sat, 26 May 2012 11:25:56 +0000 singingbee 169822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fingers crossed for a baby boy BHo. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-169818 Sat, 26 May 2012 11:21:09 +0000 PrincessBaby 169818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: Thanks, girl! My post on ingender.com is all boy replies too! Thank you for answering the nub vs. umbilical cord...Right after the dr told me that, they told me that when I come in for part 2 bloodwork for my Triple Screen, that I could elect to have an early gender ultrasound instead of waiting for the 18-20 week one. So then I thought maybe they don't want to confirm anything at 12 weeks, because they want you to come back and pay (cash) for the optional early one....I'm getting an early one done at 15 weeks at another place, so we'll know in just 3 weeks. But um, yeah, I totally hit that Carter's sale bc I was so excited!<br /> PS: I love your avatar! Your hair is so long! That's why I didn't recognize you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-169799 Sat, 26 May 2012 10:48:28 +0000 MrsMccarthy 169799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That looks totally boyish to me and i have scrutinized these nubs so much i need mental help. I think you intuition is right. Now we wait for the confirmation. Luckily girls can wear boys clothes too but it really does look like a boy nub to me. the way it's pointing up slightly. And that is definitely the nub and not the cord. Ingender.com i got 100% boy guesses and they were right on the money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-169794 Sat, 26 May 2012 10:26:01 +0000 PrincessBaby 169794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HeatherlovesKenny: Thank you! I hope you're doing well!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-169792 Sat, 26 May 2012 10:24:52 +0000 PrincessBaby 169792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ohhhh....Okay! Thanks you guys for the info!</p> <p>Well, I'm no techie, but I'm going to try to copy and paste from photobucket and we'll see how it goes...</p> <p>Just to note: Is there any way that's not a nub and it's like umbilical cord or something? The tech wouldn't fully commit to her guess because she couldn't get anything on a potty shot to show (but I read that at 12w, potty shots are not reliable)...So when we met with the perinatologist afterward, I tried to get her opinion...B/c she's an expert, right???? She said she never makes calls this early because it could be part of the umbilical cord or something. Booo, Dr. </p> <p>BUT- I read that the nub theory is pretty accurate, and when it's not, it's usually the case where the nub looks like a girl nub, when it's really a boy nub, and it just hasn't SPRUNG yet and is still lying parallel. We think that's what happened to Elley's nub- he was a late springer:) </p> <p>And finally, on In-gender, someone posted that "he's curled up, but I'm still leaning toward boy." Let me know if you think he's too curled up to make it as accurate!</p> <p>Sorry for the epic post! I have thought it was a boy the whole time...We have called the baby "he/him" from the get-go, and even though I just want a healthy baby (for REALZ!), I haven't been able to really bond with the idea that it's a girl at all, because everything in me feels like it's a boy. Sooooo, I have to admit that I was really happy when I saw that nub on the screen yesterday. I kind of started freaking out and the tech had to calm me down!</p> <p>Sorry- More epic-ness!</p> <p><a href="http://s1152.photobucket.com/albums/p498/jholler25/?action=view&amp;current=peen-1.jpg"><img src="http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p498/jholler25/peen-1.jpg" alt="peen" /></a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-169783 Sat, 26 May 2012 10:05:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 169783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sooo cute! love the name, and that's exciting you got a peek :) It's pretty hard to mistake a boy lol </p> <p>and there are no rules against photos (that I know of) it's just that Mr. Bee hasn't found a photo uploading software (or something like that) that is what he is looking for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-169778 Sat, 26 May 2012 09:56:43 +0000 HLK208 169778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awwh! I love the name, so much. I'm glad to know LO is healthy! I'm useless with the photo help though--I just wanted to say congrats on the nub news!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nub-pic-question#post-169774 Sat, 26 May 2012 09:53:44 +0000 oliviaoblivia 169774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So glad your scan looked great.

I posted the pic on the in-gender website for opinions...Is it ok to post the link here so you guys can see the pic and tell me what you think? I don't know if that breaks a rule so want to check!</p> <p>I totally already went to the Memorial Day sale at Carter's and hauled a big bag of little --- clothes!!!</p> <p>Ok- boy clothes. I am the lamest secret keeper!!!!</p> <p>I am kind of hoping we get to use our boy name- Nash Michael!!! </p>
