Don't panic JoJo just looked at mine again and mine is very zoomed out which is why yours looks big :-)

Jojoba1986 · 26/11/2012 15:39

I think it is quite zoomed in, they didn't comment about it being unusually large! I always wanted 2 boys but I'm convinced this one's a girl! Don't like girls though. I've always found it easier to relate to blokes! I suppose I wouldn't mind buying a few dresses & playing with a little girl's hair but I hate the thought of dealing with puberty! I was a nightmare! Blush

peardrop2 · 26/11/2012 15:56

No sorry it was just me comparing it to my picture. I would really like both although I am convinced its a boy. I always wanted a girl and told everyone so until literally the day I fell pregnant when I started having a strong desire for a boy too which is handy (and bizarre) because I really do think its a boy. I do feel that I would be happy with either. Only 8 days until I hopefully find out!! Woop woop!

kittenskittenskittens · 26/11/2012 16:03

Your right Jojo no nub but if you go by the skull theory girls have a flatter forehead and pointier chin and yours is rounder and more defined like mine this ofcourse could be bulk shit Wink
Ooohhh exciting pear, I think it's natural if you want a certain gender to convince yourself your having the other just incase, I did it first time

kittenskittenskittens · 26/11/2012 16:04

I'll try and do mine later and you can all have a guess although I think boy too

kittenskittenskittens · 26/11/2012 16:05

It is a cutey though bow and all Grin

FrustratedSycamoreBonks · 26/11/2012 20:02

It's the same size as mine.

FrustratedSycamoreBonks · 26/11/2012 20:07

MrsBri · 26/11/2012 20:16

Both so cute...I have scan envy! :-/

kittenskittenskittens · 26/11/2012 20:17

ive put mine up too I think but its the wrong way round- side ways for some reason!
frus- thats a really good pic too, very clear but still no nub to guess at!

FrustratedSycamoreBonks · 26/11/2012 20:28

Aw kittens little hand by face. Got to be a girl. I reckon mine is a boy because it had its arms behind its head. just watch us all get proved wrong Wink Grin

jojo I wanted to play with little girls hair, I have 2 girls who hate having their hair brushed.

mrs not long until you have yours.

Jojoba1986 · 26/11/2012 20:28

Right, I'm guessing Frus is having a boy & Kitty is having a girl. Anyone else want to join in the guessing game?

Jojoba1986 · 26/11/2012 20:29

Heehee... X-posted but with the same guesses! Interesting!

MrsBri · 26/11/2012 20:30

Two whole weeks tomorrow :-( Boo!!

And I hated having my hair brushed too!

FrustratedSycamoreBonks · 26/11/2012 20:36

Right, so it's hands by face = girl.
Easy to take measurements = boy.

What else?

OP posts:
kittenskittenskittens · 26/11/2012 20:54

Ahh your the first to say girl Smile
I like that it's still 50/50 getting anoyed with people telling me I want you to have a boy or your definatly having a boy etc ( why do you want me to have a boy? Surley it would be nicer for me to get what I want?!) or am I just pregnant and unreasonable?! Lol

peardrop2 · 26/11/2012 20:58

Frus an kitten cute scan pics :-)

FrustratedSycamoreBonks · 26/11/2012 21:23

At scan for dd2 they said it was a girl and DH went "oh darn it I wanted a puppy" it was so funny. The look on the trainees face was priceless as she tried to decide whether it was appropriate to laugh.

And I'm sure for dd1 whenever anyone asked if we knew what i was I said in all seriousness "kittens" . didnt actually know despite asking, as she wasn't being cooperative that day, (neither was the sonographer)

I don't actually care what I'm having any more, also know as not getting hopes up as long as its a baby and healthy. But want to find out in order to prepare (and decide on name).

I think you should tell them it's kittens kitty Grin

Sorry to change the subject but did anyone else know that hair cream removal is a no no? I found this out yesterday after applying it weeks ago. Not sure what to use now as I'm not a fan of home waxing. Salon waxing is fine but I'm trying to cut down on luxury salon visits like at the moment :-/

FrustratedSycamoreBonks · 26/11/2012 22:32

No idea pear not one that I've come across, give me a decent razor any day

OP posts:
peardrop2 · 26/11/2012 22:38

Razor would be fine buy always leave a rash on bikini lines Blush

FrustratedSycamoreBonks · 27/11/2012 06:32

Do you wear bikinis in this weather? Wink

OP posts:
MrsBri · 27/11/2012 07:05

I don't think you're left with many choices, Peardrop. :-/ I just use a razor...and the bikini rash fades quickly for me. Especially if you moisturise after.

Frustrated, nothing wrong with being neat and tidy all year! :-)

Not feeling as pregnant today, but think that's normal into the 11th week. Got the uterus stretching sensation still though. It's so unpleasant! :-/

Tiny bit queasy during breakfast, but hoping I've turned a corner and my breakfast will remain fully within from now on!! :-)

peardrop2 · 27/11/2012 08:58

Hah hah yes I wear bikinis all year round Shock DH does not appreciate the gorilla look even when preggers Grin

Think you're right Mrsb it's a razor or home waxing.

It won't be long now until ms will be a thing of the past for you all soon. Yay! Can't believe your coming into 11 weeks, so exciting to think how far we've all come! I'm looking forward to reaching 4 months! Can't wait to start feeling fluttering to make us feel more pregnant Grin

kittenskittenskittens · 27/11/2012 09:11

I look like a gorilla again after 4 days so dh used to it Blush had a wax last time ( first wax) and I swear it was so bloody painful couldn't do it again so stuck to shaving even as I went into labour as heard they dry shave you!!!
Thanks frus, I think the kittens answer would be funny, I don't mind what it is this time but get anoyed when people tell you with such certainty like they know for definate off a feeling plus like my dsis and mum wanting a boy as she has a ds ( is it wrong that although we'd love a boy especially dh that I'd love a dd so mine can have a sister!)
