Hi all,
I've been lurking a while - this is a great website, very supportive - but today, I really feel the need to post. I have two boys and would very much love a girl in our family. Was even looking into HT, but I got pregnant - very much accidentally and surprisingly! - late last year. Due in September. My youngest is only 16 months so it will be quite a small gap, but hey, we always wanted three and we get all the tough stuff out of the way quickly. <P>
While I very much want this baby to be a girl, I wanted to remain team green when it came to finding out gender at ultrasound scan - I want to enjoy the rest of my pregnant, hoping that any disappointment if it IS a boy will go once I have that baby in arms. <P>
Had 20 week scan yesterday and basically explained the above VERY clearly to the sonographer that I did NOT want to know. He was my totally aware of this, telling me to 'look away' from the area etc, even kind of joking about it as we went along. At the very end of the scan he said 'So...DO you want to know the sex?', not in an excited way at all, more a 'final chance' sort of way. I said 'no!' and then minutes later, when there was some other reference to the gender question, he started saying 'you know, three kids are three kids. You will be happy whatever.' <P>
To me, this totally suggests that we are having a third boy, and he was prepping me for the disappointment! What do you guys think? My husband and best friend think I am mad, and he was just making conversation - my husband, if anything, thinks him asking again kind of suggests the opposite. <P>
I feel SO upset to have lost the surprise that this sounds like it's not my DD. I would love to hear your thoughts...x
