HELLO TINY ALIEN
I am ITCHING to know if it’s a boy or girl plus get past the risk assessment hurdle of NIPT but last time my fetal fraction was so low even at something like 12 weeks that I’m waiting until probably like, the Monday after NY to get it.
I have been really wanting another girl but I think that’s because I have a girl and she’s freaking awesome and I don’t have experience cleaning poop off a penis and that sounds intimidating.
One thing that was interesting about this ultrasound is at Mo’s 10 week one she was having an absolute party and this one was like, moving but much more chill. I feel like Mo’s personality is reflected in that but maybe it was coincidence.

Eh poop on the penis is whatever, takes an extra wipe swipe and that’s it

I’ve had both and I’m pretty sure cleaning girls is harder. But it’s been ten years so maybe I just forgot.

Oh yeah, you’ve got to put a baby wipe or burp cloth over the penis while you change the diaper, or you will get sprayed 
Congrats @Greyweld !

Fully convinced third tri is designed to make you want the baby out so much that you no longer fear birth

Anyone use some kind of belly support band for a hernia/ab separation during pregnancy? I’m hoping those exist/are safe?

Thank you! You’re the best
Check at your doctor too! They can be covered by insurance like breast pumps.
