Gender guess: 

Confirmation Date: November 3 (hopefully!)

Gender:

Thoughts/Notes: Chinese calendar says boy.  We have almost 7 yrs of DD's 'girl' clothes and shoes saved so Murphy's law says probably WILL be a boy but honestly not having any strong feelings one way or another.  Morning sickness and reflux (so far) wasn't as bad this time but I did a lot of liver support before this pg and changed a lot of dietary things.  Food aversions still horrid, though... My mom always claimed she felt worse with us girls than my brother.

Thoughts/Notes:  I've felt boy very strongly for a while now.  Our midwife and my Aunt also feel boy and they're known for their extreme accuracy.  DH feels girl.  If we find out we're having twins, then I'm guessing boy/girl as it's something DH and I have had a feeling for since the beginning.

It's a BOY, Aries Sun!

Congratulations AF! I'm so happy for you! :) 

Okay, you guys are going to have to help me with this as the results start streaming in, but right now we are 1/1 on the guesses. I'll update the first post. :)

Gender guess:

Confirmation Date: Won't be finding out.

Gender:

Thoughts/Notes: I had a dream one month before this kiddo was conceived- I dreamt that a little blonde girl(maybe 4yo) was sitting on my chest with my shirt grasped in her hands. She was screaming and crying, "DON'T GO! DON'T GO!". I woke up suddenly to my temping alarm and my chest felt heavy like someone had just been sitting on it. It was quite frightening to be honest. I then took my temp. and was quite saddened to see a huge drop which meant that AF was on her way I was quite sure that I had a chemical pregnancy that month as I had a few light + tests but AF showed up right on time.

(The back story to this- I had planned on going to the Trust Birth Conference in April 2012, in Tennessee. If I had been pregnant I would have had a 4 week old baby to take with me which wouldn't have been a bad thing but just a bit more difficult than going while pregnant. I hadn't really planned on getting pregnant that month but was still sad to see the temp drop that morning. So my plan was to wait until the Fall of 2011 to get pregnant so I could still make the conference. When I had that dream I was a little hesitant to book it because I thought maybe she was trying to tell me not go.... or maybe it was because of the chemical pregnancy and she was sad that she couldn't join us at that time. I thought about it for awhile and discussed it with my hubby. I was SO looking forward to it and meeting all those incredible speakers...I decided to go. I booked my flight, my tickets and my hotel room. I still had this feeling that maybe it was a mistake....Well, because I was tracking my cycles(nursing a lot still and I didn't want to have an oops! as I have 40+ day cycles) I had what I thought was an annovulatory cycle. No temp rise and I started bleeding lightly on CD 27. Hubby and I were celebrating his 40th birthday... we had a little too much to drink...and we decided to forego the condom. I felt VERY confident that I was safe. Well, the next day the bleeding went away completely...the next day I had EWCM...and the next day my temp dropped....and voila! 3 full days after our little night of fun....I ovulated! I figured that I had little to no chance of getting pregnant but I kept having dreams of the same little girl during the 2ww. Test was + on 10dpo I was due the first day of the conference, so I wasn't going anymore. She obviously really didn't want me to go )

I will be shocked if this is a boy...I just feel that this baby is my long awaited daughter...

Tulafina what a great story! I look forward to hearing of the arrival of your little girl. :)

We have a super hyper, somersaulting, crotch grabbing, thumb sucking, rocking out . Yes, he did ALL of those activities at least once during the ultrasound.

Thoughts/Notes: I KNEW DD was a girl, and I'm pretty darn confident this one is as well. Moreover, DD got really sick right at ovulation, so our last deposit was several days before that. According to Shettles in TCOYF, we have almost an 80% chance of having a girl.

congrats!

[sunflwrmoonbeam]

Thanks! I'm really excited, and actually enjoying making a list for boy names. DH claims we'll have the name settled tomorrow, and he's actually committed to it!

[Rasa]

How exciting!!  Congrats AiryFairy and sunflwrmoonbeam!  I'm headed off to our US in the next hour and the anticipation is the only thing getting me through my current flare of gallbladder pain (major attack at 3 am last night-grrr!)  I kinda hope the tech will swing the US up toward my gallbladder and see if I have any stones causing this cause I'd really like to take some milk thistle etc.

[wendybird]

Congrats on the boys and Rasa, I am going to check back all evening to see what your results are!

It's a girl!!  We're thrilled and a bit surprised.  DD(6 yrs) was with us and not sure she wanted to know right away so we had the US tech write it down.  We told him to pass it to us but he sealed it in an envelop.  DD decided she wanted to be the one to open it and claimed she might hold it hostage for a while (as I started to hyperventilate) but she actually opened it in the car  in the parking lot ;-)  I think she was glad to be the one who 'told' us (though DH and I had a pretty good idea from the pic the tech snapped on the US).  We then took phone photos of the picture and note and sent it around to all the family/friends who knew we were expecting and a few who didn't yet--surprise!  This is also the first time we've gotten to verify the heartbeat (144) though I think I heard it faintly on my fetoscope the other day I couldn't count it.  Placenta is along my back, yay!  And head circ. is right in line with estimated due date, heart looked good, abdominal wall looked good.  DH is calmed now and will hopefully be good to go for the homebirth!

Now for names--I had the perfect boy name picked (which will be my backup probably cuz sometimes US can be wrong!)--but then I found out that one of my husband's work partner's JUST named her new son that name...grumble.  I think I would still be willing to use it though it would totally piss this person off, I still have never even met her daughter, who is 3, so it's not like the kids would even know each other.  Anywho, looks like that may be completely irrelevant!

As a bonus, the US tech was willing to swing up and take a look at my gallbladder (I had my first serious gallbladder attack last night) and it looked fine plus no stones, so I'm going to start the milk thistle ASAP to help with that.

Gender Guess:

Confirmation Date: November 30th

Thoughts/ Notes:  I'm guessing boy.... but we really, really, really want a girl. The Chinese Lunar Calender says boy and I just have this feeling that it probably will be. Either way November 30th can't get here fast enough!

thoughts/notes:  with my dd, I was convinced she was a he, even though we had the anatomy scan and before birth owned a lot a pink ...everything.  this time, i'm feeling blue, but who knows, i was fantastically wrong last time around. this is likely our last, so it would be great to have one of each, but then, another girl would fit right in too... so i guess we'll see!!!!

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!! we're soooo excited, however, we have a 3 year old DD, and I'm beginning to notice just how much *pink* we have around the house!!! So it's time to start over with things a little less feminine! lol :)
