I ache for her

I feel GD as a physical ache - a pull - a longing

Not for the outfits, or toys, but the experiences, the conversations, the friendship, the lessons

My DH doesn't get it - he's only just just persuaded to have one last baby, he'd be perfectly happy with just our boys

I don't want a baby girl doll, I want a daughter, a friend, a woman - the whole person

She's called Emmeline - I can see her in my dreams and I ache for her

Me too, but I am coming round to the fact that it may never happen for me :(

Please never give up hope.

I'm there too girls. She is real and I have shed many tears for her. I can picture my little girl, I already have half a wardrobe full of clothes for her. She has a name and my son's already talk about her. I can't imagine our lives without my little darling in it. I really hope and pray that she is God's plan for our family (and for yours too) x

I'm scared to try, because I feel like the devastation in almost inevitable

But I've never wanted anything more, I just really want to meet her

It's comforting to know I'm not alone and crazy - thanks for the replies x

You're certainly not alone!!! I really hope we all get our girls x

I have a girl, and 4 boys. My dd is 4 years old. Once I got her I wanted to give her a sister. She got 2 more brothers instead. My dh had a vasectomy in September. My youngest is almost 9 months and the ache to give her a sister, and myself another daughter is getting stronger by the day. It won't happen for me, but it can and hopefully will for all of you. I wish you all the best.

when they put my daughter in my arms I really felt like I recognized her and had seen her in my dreams. It felt like "oh there you are, I've been waiting for you!" I hope that you guys get your daughters!!!

Thanks Atomic, that would be my deepest wish recognised

I'm looking forward to seeing my personalised sway when it's done, as I feel like I don't trust myself to do anything right anymore and I need the reassurance so much. I can't talk to anyone in real life apart from my husband, and I think I'm treading a fine line between broody and mental unhinged!!!

I bought a beautiful hanging 'E' for her bedroom wall - it's under my bed and everyday when I have a moment alone I take it out and look at it. I worry sometimes that I'm jinxing myself but I see her so clearly in my mind that I can't help but invest in my dream

Another - you are not alone, I feel it too just as you describe.

I hope all our dreams come true.
