I'm having a boy!!!

That's it really.

I've just got back from my 19/20 week scan & am desperate to tell someone in RL but DH & I have sworn we wouldn't, so I'm telling on here instead!!

We already have a 3.6yr old DD & we decided not to find out what we were having with her, but this time I'm sooooo much more impatient.

Am so excited

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

goodlifemummy · 28/09/2010 13:26

Congratulations!! How are you going to keep it a secret? Thats one of the reasons we haven't found out - we are both blabbermouths!!

emw1 · 28/09/2010 13:26

Congratulations!!!! Fantastic news!

Guess what ... me too, me too!!!! Just had my scan yesterday & found out we've got a boy on the way (our first baba so very excited either way!)

Woo hoo! xxx

Oooh, great news emw1 - what's your due date? Mine's 19th Feb.

Goodlife we're not going to tell anyone we found out so hopefully we won't get too any questions. And our families both live a fair bit away so we don't see that much of them to get a grilling.

We did exactly the same this time. We found out at the 20 week scan and have kept it a secret between DH and myself. I'm 34wks now and it's been lovely having a little secret that is just ours :)

Congratulations! Little boys are wonderful (I've got 3 so I'm biased)I'm expecting a girl this time so whole new territory for me too :)

3plus - that's ace. Having a girl is also fab (again I'm biased!) & I'm a little nervous about the whole boy thing.

His big sister wants a baby sister so we'll have to start mentioning great things about boys to her!!

3plusbump · 28/09/2010 13:42

My boys have all decided between themselves that this baby is a boy so I'm having to do the same in reverse!!

Lovemylulu · 28/09/2010 14:42

me too!! Have a little girl that is nearly 3 and just found out this morning we are expecting a boy in March. Congratulations! We didn't find out first time around either but just couldn't wait this time. Soooooo excited and really really happy!

Great isn't it?

I keep looking at the scan pic & grinning like an idiot

We seriously need to pull our fingers out with names though - we're rubbish & can't agree on any boys names

OP posts:

miamix · 28/09/2010 15:03

Me too! Congrats!

1Catherine1 · 28/09/2010 15:19

Congrats!!!! Celebration time!!

Time to crack open the fizzy water! :)

May I suggest the names forum? Picking a name is such fun when you find one you agree on.

ILoveGregoryHouse · 28/09/2010 15:24

3plusbump I'm expecting dd in 4 weeks after 3 lovely sons. I've gone a bit mad on the clothes buying though .

Congratulations to everyone. I love knowing!

LJ2011 · 28/09/2010 15:24

Congratulations!!!

I've found out I'm having a boy too today!

My husband has two children from his previous marriage and they are both girls. He's so excited and so am I.

It's a nice feeling to have little one on the way either boy or girl. I would have been happy with a little girl too.

Poledra · 28/09/2010 15:26

Congratulations!

Can I suggest this book for your DD?

Mahraih · 28/09/2010 15:52

Congratulations!!

We found out it's a boy too. Lots of boys on here!

emmyloo2 · 28/09/2010 16:29

Congratulations! I am having a boy, due in 6 weeks. Was very excited to find out it was a boy but this is our first so would be delighted either way. But so glad I know it's a boy because I can now think of him as a "he"!!

kittycatcat · 28/09/2010 16:36

Awh congratulations :)

nameymcnamechange · 28/09/2010 16:40

Congratulations!!! It is absolutely yummy having a girl then a boy (check out my profile pic ).

Disclaimer: it is also absolutely fabulous to have boys first then girls, all boys or all girls .

3plusbump · 28/09/2010 16:52

What a lovely thread :)

ILoveGregoryHouse Yes, gone a bit mad with clothes shopping here too and it's all hidden as we have not told anyone that we are having a girl!!

emmab5 · 28/09/2010 18:38

Congratulations :) we're expecting a boy in 6 weeks. We haven't told anyone in RL so i'm secret clothes shopping too!

Already have DD, DS and DSS, they are having great fun guessing the sex of the baby - only problem is DD really wants a sister -oops :o

Lovemylulu · 29/09/2010 09:24

I couldn't resist buying a blue babygro yesterday even though I am only 16 weeks! We have suitcases full of pink clothes - my friend that has just had a girl will be getting a wardrobe full of pink stuff from me

Starberries · 29/09/2010 10:39

We're also having a boy - found out at 14+3 as we were way too impatient to wait until 20 week scan. Had it confirmed btw, at 20 week scan and again last Friday (23wks)

He actually has clothes until he's 6 months old, and has about half his wardrobe from 6-12 months. I've been going absolutely mad. I'm sure he'll only wear things once, but it's so much fun the ickle things
