is this correct, everyone? and can somebody please distract us all with rainbows and sunshine by coming forward with a gender or something?

@T.H.O.U.: Ooooh, that looks yummy!

@T.H.O.U.: That is awesome and looks delishuss! And go you for making dinner when I'm sure all you wanted to do was curl up on the couch and rest!

@LCTBQE: I had a crazy dream about it being a boy!

We really need to decide how we want to find out. I'm not sure if we want to just know at the appointment or in an envelope or do a full cake with family.

@agold: So if the OB can take a peek at 16 weeks I will have him look and put it in an envelope. If not at 20 weeks in March.

Obviously I would love to know sooner but we are thinking about doing a reveal with wither friends the March 18th or with family Easter weekend March 27th. If we were to get an envelope next week, I dont think I could not look at it for that long. Ideally Id love to do a reveal with both groups but I'm not sure how we could pull off both. Maybe we do all three, dinner with DH and I to find out, and then two cakes to reveal to friends and then family?

@LCTBQE: well, since you requested...

I'm in Florida right now, so I'm a few days behind on here, but my doctor called! I freaked out because she said she'd only call with bad news, but she immediately said it was good news. NT and panorama both came back very low risk!

so I had a dream last night that the panorama results were uploaded and I checked them and it was a boy! Which is hilarious because I've been 100% certain it's a girl. So my husband was sitting right next to me and he says "I changed my mind, I don't want to find out." What?! I started crying because I was so happy and then got upset that I couldn't share it with him. I woke up and realized I actually really wanted a boy, even though I was sure it was a girl.

anyway, similar symptoms and high h/b aside, we are having a boy!! And my husband not only wanted to know in real life, but is overjoyed lo isn't pleased, actually she's in denial at the moment, and keeps correcting us "no, you mean sister" but she'll come around

@T.H.O.U.: So you would do a party to reveal to your family and friends when you actually already know the gender? I am just going to have my sister tape my husband and I cutting the cake and then we are going to text the video out to our friends who have expressed specific interest in seeing the cake cutting. Otherwise, gender will just be spread through word of mouth. But I'm not one for attention-getting events in general so I'm the worst at parties. I already feel my own Thursday even with immediate family amounting to 8 people is too much! But I think if you could manage 3 separate reveal parties/events then why not??

@MrsBeluga: Hahahah! You are so funny. I absolutely love the idea of an adult brunch. I would have wanted something like that too. And yes, I already thought through our emotions regarding each gender. This is our first and we generally don't care what we are having. I want my husband to have a boy, and he wants me to have a daughter. So unless he's lying, I think our reactions will be okay! Luckily a lot of our friends have little girls so that has broken him into the idea of having a daughter. You will have to let me know asap how your brunch goes!! I'm assuming your husband is hoping for a son.

@Pirouette: Congratulations!!! And welcome to Team Blue!

And no worries about your DD . . . my LO is slowly coming around to the idea of a baby brother, and I'm sure yours will too!

@Pirouette: Hooray for great testing results and a baby boy on the way!!

@T.H.O.U.: @pwnstar: thanks guys! I know she'll come around I actually think in some ways it'll be easier for her, since the baby won't constantly be wearing her hand me downs - she gets upset whenever we box up her old clothes and I can only imagine her reaction to someone else wearing it

@agold: thanks!! I felt the same way about my first - wanting my husband to have his mini-me. And when we found it was a girl, I thought there would be all this pressure for the second to be a boy! But he loves his little girl so much and she truly is his mini me - he actually said he's excited for a boy because he thinks he'll be more like me since he already has one like him! Go figure I can't wait to find out what you are having!

@Pirouette: Congratulations on a healthy boy!!

@Pirouette: Congratulations!! I love have a boy. And it'll be great to have one of each :).

I can't wait for the rest of us to find out! Team is seriously behind at the moment!

@Pirouette: Uh, I'm in for trading clothes, too Have tons of boy stuff that I won't be using unless my DNA test was totally wrong!

Maybe we should update the due date list to include what sex we already have if we have a child already? I think there's now at least 3/4 of us who have or are expecting one of each?

@Pirouette: Haha, yes, please. Though you and @ShootingStar: are geographically closer, so way less $$ for shipping

@pregnantbee: oh that won't matter to me, baby clothes are so light anyway I think we should just see how many people have clothes to swap and want in and then figure out how best to do it when the time comes.

@T.H.O.U.: can't wait for you to find out!

I forgot how boring this stage of pregnancy is. I mean, boring is good. But August seems like forever away.
I made baked potato soup for dinner tonight,which was a really good decision. Hey, all that sour cream/milk/cheese means I'm good with calcium today!

@T.H.O.U.: Woot! Assuming we're definitely having a girl, I can't wait to clean out all the boy clothes. Knowing me, though, I'll have to keep a couple pieces for sentimental reasons. And I'll probably also see what could still work for a girl with other girlier pieces mixed in

@pregnantbee: I do get nervous, too. I'm feeling movement but it isn't regular. I hope you feel it soon!

@Pirouette: congrats on your !

@T.H.O.U.: August! It unfortunately almost rhymes with our last name so it was knocked off the list early
