So I just wanted to update you all because I've been on here frequently the last few months posting about my GD with DS#3. I was disappointed when I learned he was a boy as I felt I'd had a decent sway, and for the rest of the pregnancy I questioned my desire to even have a third child, as it seemed like starting over with the "hard" stuff just when my older two were starting to get easier.
I just want to say that DS#3 is now four days old and I am absolutely in love. It was a difficult last month of pregnancy and a somewhat scary labor that ended in an emergency c-section and maybe because of all that I am feeling so lucky that he is here and healthy. He isn't the pink bundle I'd hoped for, but he's his own person and I wouldn't trade him for anything. I'm sure I'll have twinges of jealousy when I see friends and their DD's, but having my three boys somehow feels like "enough" for now, and like the family I was meant to have. If I hadn't had a third child I always would have wondered "what if" and now I know, and like I always told myself, I'll never regret having him, but if I didn't I'd always regret not trying.
Hope that helps some of you who are struggling. I understand GD and would never judge anyone who has it no matter what their circumstance, but at the same time I know there can be a happy ending.
