Had a scan yesterday for a study I am taking part in, and the fill-in sonographer spilled about the sex of the baby  So, we have a wee boy in there!! I'm very happy, but a bit disappointed as we'd held off finding out so we could have a surprise. At least now we know I guess.....------------- Joshua Hadynn - Born 3 May 2006 |

Congrats on the boy! Bummer that you miss out on that surprise but you still have the surprises of what Bubs will look like, what his personality will be & the surprise of how much love you can have for something that you made  ------------- Mum to Alex (11), Blaire (10) & Erika (8) and Damien (6) Successful HWB VBA2Cs!

Well you've got 13 weeks or so to get your head around it!
I wanted a little boy but after having Hannah wouldn't cahnge her for the world. In the end the sex doesn't make a difference to how excited you are about your newborn babe! - but don't worry, we understand those feelings |

congrats claire! i completely understand your feelings of disappointment. we found out at the first scan that we were going to have a boy and i was disappointed. but i was over it in no time and from then on we called him by his name all the time and talked about him like he'd already been born. it was great! ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

Thanks Vanessa It's nice to know that others have been in the same position. It's not that I don't want him - more kinda sad for the little Jessica we won't have. Of course I want him!! ------------- Joshua Hadynn - Born 3 May 2006 |

Clare I am sure you will get your little girl one day, I understand the sadness tho coz i was still a little sad when Xanda was born because inside there was a little part of me that was hoping he was going to be a girl, I love him to pieces tho and wouldn't change him for the world. ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">

Hi Clare - well i really wanted a girl as i so couldnt imagine myself the mother of a boy. I used to think boys were loud and messy and ratbags which they are but also so much fun. Anyway had the scan at 20 weeks and found out was having twins then had a scan with my specialist (sp?) 2 weeks later and couldnt miss the fact that there was 2 willies lol. So that took abit to get my head round and felt alittle ripped off at the time that i wasnt having boy/girl twins. But now they are here like someone else said wouldnt change it for the world. They are so much fun and we all love to play rough and tumble and they are such mummas boys that i get heaps and heaps of kisses and cuddles ------------- Marlene Keegan ~ 14 October 2003 Jaidyn ~ 14 October 2003 |

Congratulations Claire. I comepltely understand about the girl thing. I was a little concerned that i would e disappointed if B2 was a boy as I not so secretly wanted a girl, but when i saw him, i honestly forgot all about it.
Love the name too. We considered Josh but already have one either side of the family. |

Hey chook
You could never be fat and whingey! But yes I would really rather come home...will have to figure that all out soon, but I'm gonna wait until my first scan (just before we come over for the wedding). Maybe I can convince Ben that sooner is better than later - but then it's all a matter on money! You will have to help me check out the facilities in NZ when we are back. Is the baby shower still on? Can't wait to see you. Oh and I have to be a bit careful about my work emails as the boss reads them off the server at night! So this is quite a good way to communicate. Love you and miss you heaps my little basketball! AJ + 1 ------------- http://www.snugglepie.com">
