Awww,,, What a fab pic u got.. One of the best I've seen for a 13 week...
Its amazing isn't it?!

No idea of the nub theory.. Never heard of it??

Im not 100% how it's done but it has something to-do with the shape of the skull? Odd I know lol.
It was so amazing seeing baby wriggling all I could think was "it moving somuch And I can't feel u yet" still so tiny tho =) how far along are u? =]

Nub theory is to do with between the baby's legs. At 12 weeks the baby will still have a nub there before it develops into boy and girl bits. Girls nubs stick out horizontly and boy nubs will appear more upwards. I did this for my third pregnancy and correctly figured it was a boy but couldnt figure it out with my last pregnancy as the scan pic wasnt clear x

=] had my scan today, now 13wk+6days. Feels real now after seeing baby being such a wriggler heh =] do any of u know how nub theory works?

Just a guess, baby is looking like a girl x

 

[Treenire]

Thank you for explaining =] I'd love it if nub theory is right then I'll have one of each hehe =]

My baby has a girlie nub!


Gorgeous scan picture hun, I'd say a girly bump too but I can't see the nub so it's just a guess.

I'm 16 weeks tomoro.. Time seems to fly once you pass the 12 week scan.. everyone told me that but of course I didn't believe them.. Time went so slow til 12 weeks I thought the whole lot would go like that.. But so far someone seems to have hit the fast forward button.. Not that i'm complaining..

Oh wow.. That's deadly... Neither of my scan pics are clear enough to tell.. One's only from 7+4 and the 13week on is just the head as bubs was laying awkwardly in a nook in there...

Lol my husband thought i was mad when i was pregnant with our third baby as I had just found out about the nub theory and was always looking between the baby's legs in the scan pic!

LOL... If I had a scan pic that legs were in i'd be doing the same now.. LOL

I've just spent ages trying to see the nub, I think I'm blind Lmao. But yah, in the due in feb14 group I'm with they all think it's a girl as well, Will be fun to see wot happens at 20wk scan =].

Morning ladies,


It's been a while since I posted but I've been so busy with work and stuff! Having appts every two weeks with fetal medicine due to my funny blood but going ok - now 26 weeks eek! I'm still going to aqua natal which I'm really enjoying! We had some builders start work yesterday so fingers crossed we will have a bedroom for baby before they arrive!

Hope you are all well x x

Exactly 2 weeks today left for me, I'm really going to try & stick to sw until the day before which I plan to go out for a meal with the hubby. The mother in law will be over the day before to stay for a few days so we will have a babysitter! (We live 50 miles from all family & close friends so don't get to be child free very often) Plus I figured it will be a while before we'll get the chance to go out again ALONE as plan to breastfeed again.
I'm very anxious about having baby no 3, I really hope my other two little monkeys take well to a tiny baby around the house.
My lad starts school Friday so it's all go after that! I'm glad the hubby will have 2 weeks off as will need plenty of help with school runs & housework after my c section.

Oooh... How exciting... Do you know what you're having? And what do you have already?
Great to have a set date and not the scare of oh man... I cud be anywhere!!!!

I love the fact I have a date, I went over 2 weeks with my first & was so frustrated!
My lad Caiden is 4, we've got a little girl Lola who's 2 & are having another girl. )

You've given your children such beautiful names.. Do you have one picked for the newbe or are you waiting til you meet her? x

Haha, I'll end up with 3 girls if we had another! Then it would be poor Caiden & daddy as we have two cats that are girls too!
Thank you. Caiden is pretty unusual especially the way it's spelt but we love it & it suits him so well! We have a few in mind for this bubba but nothing set in stone yet.
We really like Amber, Lauren, Isobel & Imogen, I really love Darcy but hubby's not so keen. We'll see, Lola was going to be Holly almost all the way through but just didn't sound right when she arrived!
Do you have your names decided yet? xx

OMG what beautiful little kiddies you've got... Awww.... They look like best buddies in that pic too.. VERY cute...
Darcy seems to be becoming quite popular.. I've heard a couple people naming their baby that over the last while...

We are having a NIGHTMARE with names.. I've been through every webiste imaginable and we can't find anything we love.. We've found a few we like.. But I want to love the name we pick as its gona be with the baby forever...
I had always said my first boy n girl would be called Ben and Lucy.. I've kinda gone off Ben but BF doens't like it at all anyway.. He says its a dogs name (Sorry to anyone with a kid called Ben) Lucy is after my sister (Mam's first baby) who died at 4.5months.. She was called Lucia but I've changed it slightly to fit with the times.. But my BF's surname is Lee.. So she'd sound like a porn star or stripper...
We'd like to have a traditional Irish name but nothing is jumping at us..
I love Imogen.. Its very uncommon over here and that's what I like.. I don't want every other kid to have the same name as bubs... We could make things easy on ourselves and find out the sex so we don't have to find 2 names.. But I want a surprise.. lol

Yes they are best of friends at times, other times they drive each other crazy & me for that matter!
That made me laugh, porn star! It would definitely be a great stage name! Lucy is very pretty.
Choosing a name is so hard! We also have the added pressure of a choosing a middle name again, unfortunately my mum passed away when I was pregnant with Lola so we called her Lola Kathleen after my mum, so my hubby wants his mums name for this little girls middle name which is Julie, I'm just not keen & it doesn't sound right with the first names we like, I'm trying to persuade him to have Anne instead as that's his mums middle name & also mine!
Good on u for wanting a surprise, I'm too impatient & found out with all of ours! lol

Sorry to hear about your Mam.. You paid her a lovely tribute though
My Mam passed away a few years ago and while i'd like to pay her tribute, her names are awful!! LOL
We've chosen not to have middle names and my Mam was Monica Theresa Frances... YUK YUK and YUK.. Although mine is Frances Theresa so i'll hold tribute myself... ha ha ha
Am hoping I can be strong at my scan if they ask if we want to know.. I really don't want to, but it'll be hard to say no knowing they could tell us there and then...
