Still slightly shell shocked by the news that we are having a GIRL !
If I had believed the old wives tales I would probably have known.... I was never tired with the boys like I have been this time. I also never felt sick and I was revoltingly nauseous for weeks this time! Aside from those major indiciations my skin and hair have been very different this time - both greasy and horrid. My stomach although increasingly difficult to ignore is not as big in the front as before. What else... oh, heartburn, although I have it, is not as bad so far as it previously had been.
I asked the sonographer about the placenta (thanks for the tip!) and she said it is in the front thus will muffle any movement for a while..... so that explains that! I am a little anxious about this 'slightly too thick' diagnosis of the placenta and having done the inevitable googling am more anxious than yesterday, but fingers crossed it will amount to nothing.
The doc wants me to continue taking large amounts of folic acid as he says it will help with growth and palcenta health .... and I have another scan in 4 wks to look forward to!

A girly girl!
Girls are the bestest. well. They are lovely - but beware - they grow their brains first, which means psychological game playing from a very early age!
fyi - my heartburn was terrible with Noo, and also, my bump was far less well defined - she was all over the shop - just BIG.
Fingers double crossed things continue to go ok.

CONGRATS!!! I suspected as such but I know the docs say the morning sickness (etc) thing is just a myth. It certainly wasn't for me - I knew I was having a boy this time based on how different i felt compared to with my daughter.
I'll be hoping for better news on the placenta at your next scan!
