I really should not be posting on here, I am sorry!

I have 2 boys born 16mths apart who are almost in their teens and a 2.5yr old little girl. Recently found out we are expecting a boy, Hubby, myself and everyone thought it was another girl, no doubt about it in our minds, the Gender experts said girl on both predictions. We were so looking forward to giving our daughter a little sister, had a name picked and all.

I do feel so blessed to have had one girl at least. I am afraid that she'll gain some more masculine traits as she grows up been surrounded by brothers (not always a bad thing). I hope they share a decent relationship as their 2 older brothers will be 13yrs and 11.5yrs of age
Hubby and myself can't agree on a name and I keep obsessing over the ultrasound pic which doesn't appear to be a potty shot but shows what the sonographer said was the scrotum with no testes yet and what he said was a penis sitting flat on the scrotum (scan done at 15wks and 6dys) and he pointed out the "turtle" :-( the potty shots are not the best quality but he was dead set sure that I am having a little man and that I won't find out otherwise at my anomaly scan.
Thought I wasn't disappointed but I am....
I pray that he is healthy and I know that once he is in my arms I will feel guilty for writing this!

Don't fee guilty! Gd takes many forms. I would think of it as a playmate for your daughter. As your older boys are so much older, any sibling she gets is a huge bonus and they will probably be super close. I personally found having a sister close in age very difficult growing up, so if I am lucky enough to get a girl I'm not sure how I would feel about her having a sister. This baby will be totally the right fit for your family. I often look at my third and fourth sons, who I wanted to be girls, and they are so incredible and special I'm glad that God did not answer my heart's desire at the time. He knew I needed them and he was right. You always get the right little soul for your family.

GD takes many forms and please don't feel apologetic about posting. I find many people have very severe GD because they want their daughter to have a sister.

I will tell you I have 4 sons and a daughter and I like it that way. She isn't "masculine" or feminine, she's just herself. Plus I like to think that she and I will have a more special bond because there is just the two of us. I would have liked for her to have a sister, of course, in an ideal world, but I still think there are many positives to our family just as it is and I wouldn't change a thing.

God bless you, that is beautiful. Thank you

My brother is one of my dearest friends. We are 2.5 years apart. He is younger. He loved me so much growing up he let me curl his hair and put make up on him! And I remember playing with the Skeletor castle and catching crayfish with him. I can talk to him about anything, and we are always there for each other. Your daughter and your new son can be close friends growing up. Also, my husband is 12 years older than his sister. They are thick as thieves! Congratulations on your baby boy!

Thank you so much for easing my GD and sharing your experience. I am crying happy tears now, lol possibly also due to pregnancy hormones. I love boys they can be so sweet.. and now this is a boy, I guess I will still have that opportunity to have that mother daughter relationship with my girl, that I share with my Mum.

Thank you. I grew up with an older brother and we don't share much of a friendship now. It is lovely to hear about brothers and sisters who share a good bond. My sons love their little sister to bits and especially my eldest son who has ADHD, him and his sister can amuse each other for hours :-) . .... They share a bond that I never really had with my brother. I really hope that this lil man will share a great bond with his sister :-). Thank you again :-)

In many ways I think it's very special to be the only girl in the family, like atomic has. A girl I went to school with was the middle child with two brothers and she was so loved and indulged - I was secretly so jealous of her lol! I always wanted big brothers!
