The suspense is killing me!  

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
Ok seeing everyone start to find out what they are having is driving me insane! I want to know soo bad as I sit and wait (im)patiently for the office to call to schedual my u/s. How do people make it the whole time not knowing? I have a strong feeling that we will be having another boy, but still it'd be nice to know ANyone else not enjoying being at the last of the month?
If we do find out we are having a girl get ready for a big party

Our ultrasound is set for Friday, and I'm on pins and needles ... not that the ultrasound guarantees an answer. This little one has already proven that he/she has NO interest in posing for the camera! :

I'm in the same boat, it's driving me crazy!! No set u/s date for us yet.

At first I really wanted to know, then I thought maybe I could actually wait, but now with everyone finding out I REALLY want to know! I won't even mention how much my family calling and calling to find out is driving me crazy.

I'm also strongly feeling it's a boy and would love to know if I'm right.

I know the feeling! I have an ultrasound scheduled for THursday at 10 and the closer it gets the worse it gets! I hope it's a good little baby and doesn't hide!

It's odd. With my first two, I HAD to know. There was no way on earth I would wait until birth to know the gender. I even considered making a paper chain countdown to my u/s each time. : But this time, I feel really content. Maybe it's having a boy and a girl already, maybe it's just a more peaceful place I've come to in my life, maybe it's that I really feel like I don't want any unnecessary u/s or other interventions, I don't know, but I feel fine waiting until July.
I know that's not what you were looking for, but this is truly a new sensation for me and I'm trying to understand it.

Well, I'm at the beginning of the month and we haven't had an u/s that would tell us the gender yet. Ours is scheduled for the 27th and we're still debating whether we want to find out what it is (and then whether we want to tell anyone we've found out.) I'm really on the fence as to whether I want to find out or not.

We have waited on four pregnancies. I LOVE the moment of surprise, birthing the baby, then discovering the gender! It's so much fun.

Me too!

I have my next appt. a week from today, and if all is well, we'll schedule the u/s for a few weeks after that.

I'm looking at the second week in March or so.

I want to know now!

(I don't have a preference really, but I want to tell all my knitting friends, I think they're more anxious than I am!)

An update...

We finally got ours scheduled, so another Friday u/s. DH called to schedule at one of the 3D places for V-day. No sooner did he schedule it then he couldn't stand it, so he called to tell me right away. (not really like him usually) I'm generally the one that's terrible with surprises. It ended up being for Friday since DD has school and a party tomorrow and DH has work.

I'm just dying of anticipation now!!!

I am pretty sure we are going to try and find out this time (we waited until birth to find out with our first, and would have waited with this one, but finding out it's twins has swayed us the other direction) and so I am excited to know. I will be going for an ultrasound in just over two weeks....Thursday the 28th. There's still a chance that we'll decide to be surprised (I'm feeling more together with that option the more I get "used" to the idea of identical twins), but last I checked my husband still felt pretty strongly about finding out.

Assuming babies cooperate. It's an exciting change -- the option of knowing -- and every time I see the announcement threads I get a little thrill at the prospect.

I wish I knew what my intuition is telling me. Every dream and feeling has suggested boys, not that I've had too many of those dreams--but the ones I've had have involved boys. (I honestly can't say if it's a true gut feeling or just a wish/hope. If that makes sense.) I definitely feel most settled about the boy name options (which is how it was with my first pregnancy, when based on timing of conception I told myself it would be a boy but the girl names were most compelling. And she surprised us by being a girl!)

So, my hopes & dreams involve boys for these twins. But somehow the fast (mid-160s) heartbeat rates and the fact that I sort of would prefer two boys to two girls makes me think/fear that it really is going to be two girls. I also thought we had sex very early in my cycle, and that I ovulated early but not THAT early, so the chances of GIRL conception seemed good. (But I honestly don't know the dates and can't vouch for how accurately I'm remembering--no chart or anything.) Anyway, my head is saying, "It's going to be girls."

Which has become kind of a darling thought for me, just in the last couple of days. "You know, actually, two girls wouldn't be so bad...."

All that to say....I'm with you, in suspense!
