Another scan today.Yet another scan dealt with today...although we were rather late by 10 mins as we followed the line of other cars circling the carpark hoping to find a space!! 
But one thing that struck me, was a youngish lass that when we sat down in the pre-scan waiting room 'she' was coming out of the scan room with a HUGE smile on her face and walked over to her 'other half' that was playing with their first child (About 18 months old)...A boy.
"So what is it"..he asked.
"A little girl" with a smile as long as the river severn.
In hushed but audible level.
"Bollocks a fcking girl"
She looked devastated.
What a fvcking prick!

One thing I've never understood is being disappointed over a girl or a boy, what the fuck is that all about.
How about wanting Mummy and Baby to be safe.
How long have you got left? We are 25 weeks now, mid July is D-Day, unless it's a sunroof job, booked in a fortnight earlier, or first-baby lateness takes over in which case it'll be up to a fortnight later.
My wife sometime works away and Tuesday night was the last time before baby comes - I hated not lying in bed and feeling junior move.

I was a fortnight late - should have been an April fool...
Good luck to you both.

I have a friend, yep I have them!!, he treats his shit of a four year old son far better than his 10 year old daughter and openly admits to how proud he is that he has a son.
I have never fathomed the open dissapontment that people have when the baby isn'a boy or isn't a girl, my view is as long as the baby is fit and healthy that's all that matters.
Any way aren't more "manly" (for want of a better word)men supposed to have girls?

There are various reasons for a preference of one gender over another. In the Asian context of course it's due to the males being able to continue the family name that makes boys so valued.
Personally, I would prefer a girl if I were to have a kid, because I feel that they would probably be slightly easier to handle, as compared to a rowdy, rambuctious boy.

I was told that any man can make a clone of himself, but it takes a real man to sire a girl.
I like that and I'm sticking to it!

I have one of each, does that make me only half a man?
And Good Luck 'AC', not sure how I have missed this thread until now!

I'm late with this, but...
Perhaps said pr*ck wouldn't have been quite so.. er... pr*ck-ish if he'd actually seen his daughter moving around on the screen? To him, she's still just a theory, to her mum she's very real. Doesn't excuse him though. I'd be totally devasted if Mr S had that attitude - but after losing so many, there's no way he could be like that (not that he would have been anyway).
I remember when I had the scan with L'il S, and I was fully expecting (and hoping) that he'd be a girl. I wanted to know if he was a boy so I'd have 20-odd weeks to get used to the idea. In the end, seeing him waving at me and moving around, it took about half a second to get used to him being a boy... Of course, the reality of his boyishness has taken a further 11 1/2 years to get used to, and I'm not there yet. Pockets full of sand, looks like a rag-bag no matter how new his clothes are, piles of jeans with holes in, mass destruction of anything not nailed down, insisting on filling his room with rocks, sticks and general detritus... and don't we have enough stuff in this house without him bringing in other people's rubbish? *sigh*
Best of luck to Mrs Apex Clipper and Apex himself! Must be nearly there by now.
