She has a little 3yo boy and now a little girl. I was quite jealous when they found out. But the worst of it was today when my MIL put up a pic of her with the baby. She made a comment that was innocent, but stung quite a bit. She said "after 5 grandsons, it is nice to have a little girl, I am ready for pink and frills." I just started crying after reading that FB comment. It feels like our boys aren't enough. :( Sorry. Just had to put it out there to people who understand how hurtful those comments can be.
It does not help that EVERYONE comments that they bet this one is our girl. Even after I assure them that we are most likely having a boy, they are adamant that, nope, this will be a girl. UGH. Some people.
This hit a cord with me. I've posted somewhere else on here that my husband's side has three sons, and now three grandson's. My SIL and I are practically gearing up to have another kid at the same time. She desperately wants a girl as bad as I do. I'm super nervous she's going to have the first girl in two generations and my kid will be completely irrelevant.
It's such a hard feeling to have because I feel like I should (and AM) be grateful for what I have and get, but I just don't want all the fanfare that would come with her having a girl first.
