MSBlakley, why do people write such stupid comments?! I agree that being able to conceive, carry to term and give birth to any happy healthy baby is a blessing not just if its a girl, flipping rude!!!!
Hi all,
Sorry I've been a bit AWOL over the last few days, we're at my parents', en route to Krakow (DH and I are having a few days away, booked a few months ago when we really needed something nice to look forward to around the time our angel was due (18th Aug)) so I've not been able to check in much.
Ladybugs I am so sorry to hear of your brother's accident, I am fervently hoping he is ok, what a terrible worry for your family. Also your wee one's kidney, I'm glad that the left one is functioning normally though, will they be able to save the right after the birth? What a shocker about the gender though?! I totally get how you must be reeling and not knowing what to think! That is the dream we all share though isn't it, to be told they made a mistake and we ARE getting our DD after all! I do hope this is the dream come true for you, although it must be taking a back seat to your stress over your brother just now. :hugs:
I've faced my first negative gender comment, and I think I responded admirably! My 90year old grandmother, who says whatever she wants to and doesn't care how it affects people, said "oh I DO hope this one is a girl", to which I replied "we'll I'd love that but we had a look at the scan and its looking very much like a boy" and I didn't choke up or anything! :bigsmile: Later she sighed (watching my two boys happily playing on her lawn) and sadly said "I hope it is a girl, three boys, oh dear" and I had to say "if he's like those two he'll be lovely!" And I really meant it! I expect these comments from her, she's always been acid-tongued, but it really beggars belief what people think is an acceptable thing to say! It's like you've all been saying, why on EARTH would anyone think anything other than joyful thoughts at a baby being confirmed as healthy??! I had a checkup on Tuesday and we got the blood results, my Down's risk is 1 in 23006 or something like that, so I am very relieved. Still worry that someone has to be that one though.... But all the tests were good, and we got to hear the baby's heartbeat, which was lovely, especially for DS1+2. It was very train-like though, there is NO chance I'm doing a Ladybugs/Thorz and having a last minute sex-change baby! :rofl:
Welcome to the newbies, I have to say I feel so much better and more positive just being a part of this thread, it's helping me so much, especially to be able to stay a part of such a lovely community of ladies. I felt so like you MrsBlakey (I think it was you?) feeling that you don't want to be here anymore, seeing others get their girl all the time. This thread is a lifesaver!
I'll try and check in while I'm away but we may be doing some serious sight-seeing and not get much chance! I'll be back next week though, hope everyone has a good weekend.

Emmy so good to "see" you! I was wondering about you and hoping all is well :)
FWIW, my dad said the SAME exact thing to me when we saw a penis at my NT scan (I didn't even know that was possible!) ... he said "I'm sorry honey" and never even told me congrats on baby being healthy! I was shocked! But he didn't mean it that way, he was acknowledging my GD... Others don't even realize how it feels to us. They are stating the obvious, and that's fine if you don't have GD... but if you do, it's like pouring salt in the wound.
My GD is at bay today, thank god for days like this! Gives my poor heart a day to heal LOL
P.S I can't wait to hold a newborn!!!! Oh my goodness, I am so excited to meet this baby!!!
Do you have room for one more in here? :hide:
Of course we do!! But are you totally sure on that scan? My first thought was a little girl. I'm no expert though. Big hugs to you regardless x x

GeCon, how you feeling? Please don't stay away, it is I easy to do! It does help to talk things through, rant about your feelings if needed, we r all here for you and understand how you feel! Give yourself time, it's not selfish to grieve for a dream, we all spent months and months planning and swaying towards a certain outcome it hurts to be told otherwise!
Check google for boy potty shots then look at the ones on Ingender, they have loads!
DH has just informed me that a friend due with fraternal twins in Dec (has a 3 yr old DS) is expecting 2 girls! Boooooooo! The news did hit me where it hurts but the ache seems to be less, can only be a good thing?????
I don't understand what is happening with us ladies..............
2LB - I know! We aren't even hitting the 50/50 mark as you would expect from anyone anywhere conceiving a baby... we are WAY over the blue mark here. I am going to pm Atomic and see what she thinks...
In the meantime we are going to give birth to some handsome young men :)
Charlee, that sounds like a great idea, let me know her thoughts I'd be really interested to hear! Our results are very crazy!
I'm starting to look forward to 3 little boys, hope they will be the best of friends and a great support for each other! Are you still thinking about a no4??
Keep thinking of my friend with the twins, I seem to be the only one cracking out the boys! I know my friend had been on a diet for a while and steadily losing weight (join the club) but how did she manage 2 girls???? Boooooooooo!
