I'm so sorry your sway didn't work out! How are you feeling?

[kittendreams]

Oh LMSM I can't believe it! You gave it your all that is for sure. I'm so sorry for you my friend I know how you feel right now but please know it will pass eventually and this beautiful little soul was meant to be held by you.
You are such a beautiful, loving and generous person this little girl is so lucky to be coming into this world to be your daughter.
Be kind to yourself xxx

Thanks ladies
After the initial sadness of not having a boy, I really thought this was a boy - I am ok with it now – we told our DDs about the baby, and DD1 is uber excited and wants a sister! We told her we could tell her the gender but for now, she wants to keep it as a surprise however she is telling everyone mummy has a baby in her tummy and it is truly heartwarming – for her, and Dd2, I think this will be just fine – it’s just my selfish desire for a son that colours this – hubby hasn’t said a definite no for a #4, so who knows, one day..
Until then will try to prepare for my youngest girl to join the tribe, and yesterday we found her heartbeat on the Doppler for the 1st time, and you know what – I was just in love – so I think that sums it up

My heart is warmed to hear how quickly the intial disappointment seems to be subsiding. You did an amazing sway and any little girl who managed to overcome all those factors must be a super strong bubs. For me I'm trying to shift my thinking from having a third for us/me (cause I want a boy) to having a third as they'll be a (fx) lifelong companion for my DDs.

Oh so happy to read you are feeling better. So so cute that your dd wants a sister!
You are not selfish for wanting a boy the heart wants what it wants and I'm glad Dh may be open to another down the track. Big hugs xx

Mia – I thought I had prepared myself, knowing the sway was no guarantee (though I thought I had done pretty well!) and yet I still bawled my eyes out on Friday – I always was ready to accept any gender, I think the fact this is our third also means the hopes for a boy get pushed even further away and I wasn’t quite prepared for how much that bit would hurt. Definitely not disappointed in a girl just in not having a son Have already started looking at that perfect 1st onesie for when she is born even though I have vacuum bags full of clothes, still want to prepare for her
Am sure you will be thrilled with any baby – even if there is potential for disappointment initially if the gender isn’t what you’d hoped – the relief of a seemingly healthy baby overrides it all pretty quickly and just had to take one look at my darling girls to know it would of course be wonderful with another one (challenging but wonderful).
Can’t wait to follow your sway and ttc journey!

Kittendreams- how are you hon?
Btw, I found some more stuff for you as I tidied up my drawers – so will send it to you this week
Yes, knowing hubby is not 100% closed to a 4th does soothe things somewhat – I think he “heard” me when I say I just longed for a little boy looking like him
