Oh what a lovely post. Congratulations!! xx

cinnamongreyhound · 18/03/2010 14:35

Congratulations!! Boys are wonderful!

It's all so scary, good luck with the rest of your pregnancy my little boy hung around until he was forced out- perfect when he finally arrived though!

Got mine 21st April, hoping to be able to find out too.

designerjooles · 18/03/2010 17:13

Awwww - yes what a lovely cheery post! Congrats!

Rhian82 · 18/03/2010 17:22

Aww that's lovely.

Completely threw us when we found out we were expecting a boy - we didn't have a preference but somehow had it in our heads that it would be a girl.

He's now 17 months and the most wonderful little person. I can't imagine having a girl at all!

cakeywakey · 18/03/2010 17:36

That's so lovely, congratulations

Am hoping to find out what our DC2 is in a few weeks. We already have a DD but I'll be happy with whatever flavour we get

DesperateHousewife21 · 18/03/2010 17:49

Congrats! I found out I was having a baby boy a few weeks ago, I too was really pleased

Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy.

schroedingersdodo · 18/03/2010 18:50

Congratulations!

I've seen so many people here complaining about having boys that it's a relief to see someone happy with that!

By the way, mine (due the end of April) is a boy too and I'm really happy about that.

pipinmybelly · 18/03/2010 20:05

thanks everyone!!

still smiling!!

wanted to share some good news as unfortunately during pregnancy there can be a lot of bad news - but we must not forget our miracles!!

i really dont understand people who dont want boys, a healthy baby is a miracle in my eyes. my little brother is 3 and i adore him and there's 21 years between us!! he is so loving and loyal, just as much as little girls....

good luck everyone with the rest of your pregnancies esp shroedinger for the end of april which incidentally when my birthday is!! all the best people born then

just want to say congrats, i'm expecting a little boy too and it's so exciting!

sunshiney · 18/03/2010 20:10

That's lovely! I am also expecting a boy, in May. Good luck to you!

schroedingersdodo · 19/03/2010 00:24

Thanks, I'm sure end of April (and beginning of spring) is a lovely time to be born ;)

Congratulations! I'm having a little boy (apparently!) in June and I'm so so excited! I too didn't mind at all, and found out because my OH was desperate to know. It's lovely seeing a little healthy bouncing baby on that screen isn't it!

I'm sure I've got a lazy one though, doesn't kick sometimes for ages til I give him a prod. He'll be there til 42 weeks I reckon!

Congratulations again!

DorotheaPlenticlew · 19/03/2010 13:46

Congratulations to you! We have a DS and he is the light of our lives (shortly to be joined by DD who will also be , but we would have been more than happy with another boy as they are just so lovely).

mrsrvc · 19/03/2010 13:50

Congratulations!

I lost my son last year due to a birth accident and it breaks my heart when people complain about the fact that they are having a boy. A healthy baby that arrives safe and sound is a blessing that we should never take for granted.

We are having a baby brother for our ds and are delighted, although would have been happy either way so long as this one comes out screaming .

houmousandcarrotsandwich · 19/03/2010 15:17

Congratulations!
Boys rock! why would anyone moan about having a boy?!
My DS is 10 weeks old and its been the best 10 weeks of my life! hes so chilled and I think the cutest baby ever(sorry I'm a liitle biased!!). Oh and little boy clothes are adorable!
Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!

addictedtolatte · 19/03/2010 15:26

congrats boys are adorable.

pipinmybelly · 20/03/2010 23:31

i dont understand anyone who would moan about having a boy either!! been out today and bought some gorgeous boys clothes, lush little rompers coz he's not due til July so he'll hopefully be in summer stuff.

i cannot wait to meet him!!

any ideas what sort of stuff il need clothes wise for a july/aug boy?

LadyBiscuit · 20/03/2010 23:36

How lovely to read a positive thread about having a boy child for a change Boys are wonderful

NonnoMum · 20/03/2010 23:37

Congrats, congrats.

Even in summer, it's still nice to get them some full-length baby gros (INMO). Think the little cotton legs and arms absorb all those sweaty hans that will want to hold him!

In fact, vest and baby-gros for ages. You will get given loads of little jeans and things, which are v cute but not nearly as soft and lovely as baby-gros!

My baby boy is v v smiley and is so in love with me, he cries when I leave the room . My girls are like that with their daddy...

wubblybubbly · 20/03/2010 23:39

Oh congratulations pipinmybelly! Boys are fantastic, I wouldn't swap mine for anything

RaraAvis · 20/03/2010 23:42

my boys due in may and i do admit i've gone a bit mad on outfits! but i think all in ones and vests are the main things, it's my first so not entirely sure what to get either, will i need lots of socks and gloves does anyone know? as just realised dont have any! i'm thinking you need sun hats too but dont know about the rest.

I had a couple of pairs of scratch mitts, but never used them, not sure if anyone does?

I had loads of socks but they were really only for colour coordinating with his little shirts I don't think they really need them, unless their little feet will be getting cold, but most travel type things have feet in them don't they?

Sun hats are good though and super cute!

pipinmybelly · 30/03/2010 14:35

how many bibs will i need?? and what sort? this is tricky stuff!! anyone on a bit of a budget go to asda for baby clothes!! absolutely stunning stuff and really cheap, they got a sale on too, got 2 sleepsuits for £2.25 on weekend!!

cant wait to meet my little boy now!! and put his new clothes on him!! also, do i wash his stuff before i put it on him??

Taylor80 · 30/03/2010 16:23

Congratulations!!

I had my scan yesterday and found out i'm having a boy. I've already got a girl and really didn't have any preference but i'm really, really over the moon that im going to have a son

I have 3 close friends that have all had boys recently and each one of them is absolutely divine - can't wait!
