Thank you for your lovely comment. Glad to hear it's great with three little men. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around my third beautiful boy... he will be loved, cherished and wanted, it's the lost dream of having a daughter I'm struggling with.

Well I think you were smart to find out because the day you meet him you will be over the moon about his little baby head and chubby cheeks and you will have already dealt with your understandable disappointment. And you never know what the world has in store. After my third I cried that I would never have a DD because my DH would never have another and now he is on board for number four. Also I have a friend whose third filled every piece of her heart and the desire completely went away so have faith. I can not tell you the love I have for my third baby. He is my baby angel sent from heaven! And he is a brat because I tell him that every day!
