Wow - you ladies have put a completely different spin on the gender thing that I had never considered. I have so many girls around me, sisters, nieces etc so it was expected by my family that I would be carrying a girl. I have always wanted a brother and so actually really wanted a boy. However I do not relate to boys at all. Although having a girl would have been just as good after all that we have been through. But I can see your perspective here, and it had never occured to me that it might feel like that for some people. Thanks for sharing. I don't judge, just more intrigued with the "how's" and "why's". I get it, I really do.

As you all know I'm having a boy. And am ecstatic, yet so scared. How on earth do you raise a boy when all you know is girls??? There were collective sighs around my family when I announced "a boy"! (as in - nevermind type of sighs). Yet I couldn't be happier.

Private care is good - but the costs are not!!! Waiting for our $2,000 "OB management fee" bill to come through the post. Which Medicare re-imburse a max of $200. Aaaargh!

OK - we need some happier topics here people.

I'll start....................is anyone else experiencing itchy nipples? Seems bizarre, but that's what I'm getting. DH keeps offering to scratch them, which I think is an excuse to continue to get closer to my new "bigger" boobies!!!
