atomic's stealth sway updated July 20

[stephiel]

Gotcha thanks for checking back in Atomic I am over the moon that you are having a girl. As I said before I have been reading your posts for literally years now and knew how badly you had wanted a little girl so I'm just beyond happy that you are getting her. Personally I wouldn't worry that she won't fit in...she will be your whole family's little darling, her brothers will be big protectors of her and she will probably be really tough and good at sports which will make all the boys i school adore her that much more! I love it and again hope some of the other stuff has settled down for you and the family....

I know a lot of people think that, but I really had come to terms with my GD for the most part, with the occasional bad day here and there. In a lot of ways, the dream I had with DS 3 which was the two older boys and then one spoiled little girl was dead and gone anyway and a boy just made more sense. I worry that there's a big diff. between having a girl at 36 and having one at 42 - by the time she's going to be getting married and having her own kids I'll be quite old and so it won't be the same. Plus my husband really wasn't and isn't sure about doing the girl thing anyway, even now he's kinda uptight about the idea!

Yep, AS, sometimes I think we married the same man! You must be married to my DH's long lost twin brother...my husband is still somewhat fretful about what we're going to "do" once she arrives...he's so worried about all the girl stuff, colors, etc, boys one day looking at her....

Geez - men and their fear of girly stuff! It's not like the boy stuff comes naturally to all us boy moms, yet we manage!

My husband is neither here nor there - he's a man but he's into music and film, reading, art, poetry--that sort of thing (like me)... thankfully, which means our son isn't put into a gender-type corner and if we were to have a girl, she wouldn't be, either.

I am so sorry people are spreading sh!tty rumors about you. You have done so much for all of us on here, and it makes me angry that anyone would turn around and treat you with such disrespect. I know you are a great mother and wife, and would never jeopardize your family's safety or well being in any way! Try not to let all the BS out there get to you.

Yeah, my husband isn't too into gender stereotypes (like, he was in musicals and sports both in school) I think he just feels ill-equipped for a girl and possibly that he may ruin her or something.

Never knew that was happening. People love some drama. Hang in there!
