Every single reaction is identical whenever we say we aren't interested in knowing...

And then comes the inevitable bewilderment. 🙄🙄

Around here, most people actually ask because they think the whole point is the surprise, so why wouldn't you want to find out early?

Look, we aren't going to tell you or anyone else once we finally figure it out..

And besides, we need to know too.☕

Don't you dare be disrespectful to my mother like that 🙂

"So, any updates?" / "Is there any news yet?"
Yeah... I gave birth three weeks ago, but honestly, I'm just feeling completely exhausted and wiped out...

Actually, I completely blanked on that question too.

I'm pretty sure you've got two in there, though—it’s hard to ignore, especially considering that part of your post about having a massive belly.

-How on earth is your belly already that big at five months?

-What about you, how’s your bump looking?

-Mine looks pretty standard to me, nothing crazy.

-My stomach has basically become a public landmark at this point. I don't mind when my girlfriends, my grandma, or my family reach out to touch it, but if some random, unpleasant lady at Target tries to grab my belly, I swear I might actually bite her hand off!

-Based on the shape, I'm convinced I'm carrying a boy—and honestly, I am so not ready for all the drool.🤮

Haha, honestly, even we aren't entirely sure what's going on yet since my little one refuses to roll over just to show us 🤣

But based on one quick photo we caught, I'm pretty sure it's a boy!

It seems like everyone's first reaction when they see me is to ask "what happened??"

And some people don't even bother saying hello before they jump straight to comments like, "Wow, you haven't gained any weight at all!"

Well, I haven't, because I'm actually being really mindful of what and how much I eat!

Besides, why does anyone even care about my weight?? It's not like they're actually wishing for me to look like an elephant☕

My idiot of a fiancé is just straight-up lying and playing games with me. Honestly, I’d rather just call off the whole wedding with only two weeks left on the clock

Oh, please, there’s no way... you would never be able to live with yourself if something happened just because I couldn't control my own impulses.

I'd much rather just complain 🤣

you get used to it 😁

well, that doesn't really comfort me 🤣 because my libido is through the roof right now 🤣

redcrane112 said:..I find myself frequently haunted by dreams of carnal intimacy 🙂

are you kidding me?

and then I wake up feeling totally worked up 😂😂

I was honestly so frustrated yesterday because my partner wouldn't give me the green light for intimacy, even though everything seemed perfectly fine between us 🤣

Peter Adams58 said:🙂
If you aren't feeling nauseous, then maybe it's a guy.
🤦

Hahahaha... honestly, it just turns out however that little sperm decides it’s going to be 😁

And even that theory doesn't really hold water... my godmother and my sister-in-law both tried those old wives' tales and they both had boys, while my friend tried them and ended up with a girl.😁

I honestly just wear men's clothes because I end up throwing up my own 🙄

and when it comes to being ugly, I’m just as unattractive myself 🤣

James Cox6 said:yeah, apparently 🙂
because they’re blessed by fate—bringing nothing but good vibes 😍
you're already 11 weeks 😲 put a pregnancy bar in your signature and get over to City Hall... you seem pretty hormonally charged... I dig that vibe 😍
come on, get to City Hall

man, you really think 🍿

hahahaha

Haha, I haven't even gotten to that yet. It's still way too early.

I don't have my meeting until 11:00 tomorrow.

I really ought to add the ticker symbol.

Your little tests actually seem to be quite lucky, 😁

The sentence goes: when a baby comes back to life. My baby is just a pig eating slop.

And the question: why on earth do you want to know the gender?

Because I want to. If you aren't interested, I won't tell you. 🙂

Nicole Kim11 said:I ended up going with one of those Clearblue digital ones... I think they were about $15 at CVS... and I actually tested three or four days before my period was even due 😁
it showed a positive.

I used one of those Clearblue Vision tests, or something similar $14. It showed a positive right away on December 30th.

So, was this period of yours coming right on schedule, like maybe just a day later than usual or something?

That’s perfect, thanks 😁

hiddenscout362 said:Look, I feel totally betrayed by my LH surges. I would have bet everything that I was ovulating around the 14th or 15th

But the strips showed it didn't actually happen until the 19th or 20th

I have absolutely no clue what those earlier surges were even doing, but they clearly weren't signaling ovulation😳

It’s honestly infuriating because I spent months timing everything perfectly, having sex exclusively during those supposed windows, wondering why we weren't getting pregnant...

We were being careful about using protection both before and after, so... honestly, if we're healthy, it really just comes down to luck; if there's an issue, then we'll deal with it later.

It’s definitely going to be a relief once I finally get to use the bathroom.

My nipples are absolutely killing me—they've never been this sensitive before, and I feel like I have to run to the restroom every thirty minutes or so.😲

I’m pretty much in the same boat when it comes to tracking my timing. I know mine happened somewhere between cycle days 12 and 15 because I can always feel that distinct, sharp twinge in my ovary right when ovulation kicks in.

I mean, it’s not like I’m seeing a hundred different symptoms, but my nipples are hurting incredibly badly. They're super sensitive, and honestly, even a light touch is driving me crazy. On top of that, I’m getting these sharp pains in my lower pelvic area maybe two or three times a day.

I’ve never dealt with either of these issues before, so I really believe it, especially with the breast tenderness.

But we'll just have to wait and see what the pregnancy test says.

Look, I'm well aware of how all this works in theory 😁 hahaha

But I'll end up picking one up eventually. Then we'll just have to see how it actually plays out.
