Ok ladies just a quick vent! Ugh I'm so frustrated. If I wasn't pregnant and hormones weren't raging this probably wouldn't be sending me into a annoyed
Heap of emotions but here I am super annoyed! Short of the story my mom is
Coming up with all these vile names for our 3rd! If its a boy she has all these names like Bath, Barney the dinosaur, and Brick picked out and she thinks its so funny when I sit there and say where are u coming up with these? Her response well if its a 3rd boy these names will suit him fine! Ahhhhhhhh it is sending me into a furious rage! Why, can't she be a supportive mom and shut up with all her stupid insensitive comments? She is just the beginning of the naming I am sure, as my side of the family thinks its sooooo funny all we have is boys! Seriously we don't even know the sex of the baby yet! Ugh if she texts me one more name and says "you know you like it" I will totally go crazy! I'm so over it!

Rant over! I feel better! Thanks ladies!

Ugh...sorry Soar thats got to be really annoying! Hopefully you'll hear pink and put all their comments to rest! A friend of mine (who doesn't have kids) actually asked me recently what I was going to do if I had a 3rd boy! I just laughed in her face and said I guess we'll have to leave him at the hospital LOL! Some people do not know how to filter!

Thanks Smiley! I need to come up with something to say too. It's hard when it's my mom making the snarky comments. Time will tell who's baking in there! Till then I guess I will smile and take it like a champ.

Tell me about it it's been none stop coverage! Don't get me wrong wish them both well, and surprise surprise it was a BOY!! I was so shocked to see the breaking news headlines everyone was so ready to hear girl with all the speculation.. I was just so amazed at her tiny tiny bump!! She looked though I must admit and he was quite a weighty little boy weighing a 8lbs 6 oz..

Anyhow.. I'm counting my days down I have 2 days left till I find out about myself and it feels like pressure from Mum she always says oh I hope you have a boy too! And now with this royal news of a baby boy she was like ohhhhh I pray you get a boy!! Argh annoying I told her either way it could still be a girl which I know it is!
I hvent told my mum about the scan I don't intend to either.

How are you ladies doing when's the next scan coming up?

Soar...your family sounds as horrible as mine...the day they actually find out for sure that I have DS3 on board, I will be mocked. I refuse to even let any of them (sister and brother and wives and hubbies) even know gender right now, pretending that we just could not find out last week when questioned. Now I know that I should not lie, but in truth, we found out gender at a private scan and was unable to determine gender at the anatomy scan last week!! I realize that he will pop out and then we will be fodder with 3 boys and no girls. Lots of hugs Soar....I know how it is to not have the support of either side of the family. (((hugs)))

As for Kate...I am with Dream on it all. I think that Kate will enjoy a baby boy and set a beautiful example of how awesome boys truly are!!!

Ugh Soar that sounds so cruel :( Maybe in her own way she's trying to prepare you for hearing boy? I'm lucky in that I've had my mum and my gran behind my sway the whole time, they would like their first granddaughter and great granddaughter just as badly, I'm not sure which is worse! I don't want to let them down too! :(

I felt slightly nauseous yesterday :/ I've only had a bit of nausea in my previous pregnancies, also felt a bit crampy. Seven weeks today! I guess I should register with the midwife soon :)

Soar & Ladybugs, I am sooo sorry that you have to endure those attitudes from your families. It's totally unacceptable!! No-one in my family has batted an eyelid & all are very happy that this LO is healthy & well. They know that I desperately want a girl still and also for how long I swayed, but all they do is find the positives. I was scared that I'd get mocked for my sway not working but instead they've gone on about how my weight-loss on the LE diet has given me the best pg so far in terms of no spd etc. I realise how lucky I am with my family, it does help to have that support and I wish you both had it too. It's the wider world that bothers me, but I know my Mum keeps telling me that it's only those close to me that matter.

Hi ladies, I've been following this forum for ages on my phone and have been waiting for 5 minutes kid-free to sit at the computer and say "hi"!

I'm from Australia and 16 weeks pregnant with number 3, hoping and wishing it is a girl after 2 beautiful, spirited boys.

We are in two minds about finding out the gender in 3 weeks. I didn't find out with the boys and it was lovely, although I did have a pang of GD in the delivery room after number 2 was born - nothing to do with my beautiful newborn son - just realising the dream of a baby girl was all but gone... until now.

We didn't sway, however we tracked through a fertility clinic. I know by my records, we dtd 36 hours EXACTLY before ovulation. I have a friend who had 3 boys and then a girl by tracking through the same clinic, so I have everything crossed that my "sway" worked.

I also wanted to say (and maybe advice for me if this baby is another boy) that I used to date a man who was the eldest of three boys. The kinship the brothers had was extraordinary. Everywhere they went together they brought a real positive presence with them and they are loved as individuals and looked up to as the "[insert surname] Brothers". 2 of the brothers recently got married and all 3 brothers were in the wedding parties. They also ADORE their mum - which I thought was lovely as I felt their relationship with their mum was a far stronger bond than I had (at that time) with my own mum. I hope my story shines a little light for those who've just found out they're having another beautiful boy. And, hopefully it's my silver lining if my fluttering little bean is indeed a boy.

Good luck to each and every one of you! xx

Thank you so much for your lovely story. It's always so heartening to hear of mums who are really close to their grown-up sons.

Welcome to the group and I hope you hear pink in a few weeks. :)

Do you think I could put in my order for a 62 gun salute & chiming of the Westminster Abbey bells for this little boy too?! Lol :D
