I know!! We are waiting!
Congratulations, Lime! I am happy to hear have a healthy baby girl on the way!!!
Stalking to hear your news girls!!
Well I hope theyre celebrating!!!!
I was crying on the way to the US, just out of nervousness and feeling anxious. The tech was awesome, but she said that she doesn't tell the gender until the end of the scan after she gets all of her measurements. I am actually glad she did it that way since I was able to look at the pictures more. At the end, she said, "uh oh". Yep, it's a boy. I started crying of course. DH didn't come with me this time, which I was glad. I didn't feel like I had to hold back for him being there, ya know? I asked her to check again, and she did and pointed it out, but of course I can't tell anything on those things anyway. She assured me it's a boy. I had my doctor's appt next and while I was with the nurse doing the blood pressure and stuff I started crying again. She didn't see me until the doctor walked by and got this funny look on her face. When I told her it was boy #4, she was relieved because at first she thought the tech must've saw something wrong. Overall the baby is very healthy looking, no soft markers, which is great as my last two had soft markers for downs. I am measuring 18w3d instead of the 17w 6d that I am. No biggie there. She said he is around 8 ounces and looks great.
I know I will love him dearly and would never trade him for another, but it hurts so bad. I am glad I have you ladies here as you get it. You understand how I am feeling and it's not that I don't want him, it is that I want what I don't have. I will never brush my daughter's hair, put a bow in her hair, buy a pretty little dress for her to wear. None of that will happen for me.
I had to go do a little retail therapy and bought some cute boy clothes on my way home. The sales clerk asked me how I was doing and if I needed anything. I said no, just shopping for boy clothes...again. Then started to tear up. I told her I just found out I was having my fourth boy and I was a bit sad and was hoping buying some cute baby clothes would make me feel better. She understood and was very sweet.
I feel so deflated now. I keep wanting to cry. I know it'll get better, it did with each of my boys before. But this is really it. No more babies. Period. I have to accept it and more on. In time.
Congrats on your beautiful boy! Im sorry you didnt hear girl ! It seems most of us 3 boy moms are headed for a forth. I really get sad and have tears in my eyes when I hear you ladies not getting your DG! I hope you feel better soon and know that baby boy is waiting for a wonderful mommy and awesome 3 older brothers!!!
My scan is on friday morning at 9 am est. I will update as soon as I can. I know that the baby is more than likely a boy since we got a good penis shot at 16 weeks, but I have a little hope that maybe it was wrong. Once I get the scan done tomorrow I can accept it and move on. For now though I can hold out for a slight bit of hope!!Quote:

Congratulations on a healthy baby boy. Its hard hearing boy for a 4th time, when it isn't your last chance theres always that 'maybe next time' I think thats helped me a bit because its not 100% our last. Theres a chance it is, but there is the possibility that in a few years we could have 1 more.
I'm sorry that you are having to go through this, give yourself time.
There certainly does seem to be a lot of 4th boys on the way.
Yeah, I know eventually I'll feel better but even then I know that I'll always feel a void. I went to bed crying then woke up crying this morning. I don't even want to go to work because everyone will be asking.
