SEPT/OCT/NOV 2014 Roll Call!

I would not change having 2 boys 1st... Or for that matter 3! I'm not sorry you had a boy and I'm sure you won't be either!! It hurts not hearing what you want, I've been there...a couple times now;)
Definitely go HT if you can and really need a girl because it doesn't get easier to not hear what you want each time. Although for some reason now that I'm at 4 I feel a lot better about hearing a boy this time~go figure!!
Your 1st son will love having a little brother and if you're newby is anything like mine, his older brother is his world!!! He adores that guy more than me I'm pretty sure:)

Yes I agree Coco, I think my DS2 loves DS1 more than anything in the world!! He calls him "my best brother".

Two boys is so much fun! Mine are the best of friends. They walk around holding each other's hand and are sad if they aren't together. They are always laughing and having such a blast together. They do fight at times but always make up with a big hug and kiss! They seriously adore each other and both of them adore our 3rd boy too. I don't at all feel sorry you heard boy because you will absolutely love the dynamic! It is hard not hearing girl, but by time you have that guy in your arms all of that will fade. This is 4 and if a boy I will be slightly disappointed but I know I won't for long! I agree with coocoo for some reason I feel like I will have a lot easier time accepting another boy this time than DS3. I had already come to terms with never having a girl and then this total surprise. DS2 and DS3 were my GD babies and both are total Momma's boys! I love it. Congrats on the new little blue bundle! If you ever feel down we can all relate, so we are here to listen.

Everything coocoo said is so true!

I was so very crushed when I heard DS2 was a boy. I thought I was going to have 2 kids - 1 boy, 1 girl and life would be perfect. That all shattered and I felt robbed. But now, I realize that it is so opposite. My world is everything it is b/c it all started with those 2 boys, and now 3, and now most likely 4. I have never felt more at peace about hearing boy b/c I know the joy they bring. My cousin just had her first baby...a boy. And I just melted when I saw him b/c I know what she has in store and I know that a baby boy is just fantastic!!

Congrats Kittybear! You are so blessed!!!

Not in the club but saw the comments - congratulations on your second son. I was also slightly disappointed when I found out that my second was a boy, as I was also hoping for a girl, but loved it when my good friend (herself the momma of four boys, and no stranger to gender disappointment!) said to me, "It's so wonderful. Just think - they'll be each other's best men at their weddings." Thinking of these two boys getting to grow into men together was really what put me over the top into joy over having another son - and now he walks around the house going, "Brother! Where are you?" if he can't find him. It is wonderful. Zillions of congratulations to you on your healthy baby boy <3.

I totally agree with everyone else i love having 3 boys i did have some gd with 2+3 but it only lasted a couple of days id like a girl but even if i do get my girl this time i would still like to try again for a boy id love 4 boys and a girl! I feel sorry lol for ds3

Sorry i sent that before finishing just think he needs a littlebro but this baby is going to be a boy so i dont think i ll need to worry about that! Lol!

Congrats kitty! Not pregnant but trying
..your post really resonated with me like alot of us here I had terrible GD with DS2 i too thought i would be the one that got the pigeon pair I then suffered in silence pretending i was really happy . really glad you have a supportive family :) and it is hard to imagine but like the other ladies I often feel so lucky when the pigeon pair families are throttling each other and my two boys are playing so nicely together!! I took a four year break to enjoy my boys, go back to work and come back I hope ready for my third boy :) try if you can to not research HT just yet but to go shopping, decorate his nursery etc etcxxxxxx

So just found out that my SIL due 2 weeks before me is having a confirmed girl (her first baby, so no pref) ....want to be happy for them but feeling so jealous :-((

I don't even hope I have a chance at hearing girl. Not really thinking of it, still at the 'will baby stick' stage, will it be healthy etc. I had mild disappointment when I heard ds2 was not the girl I thought he was going to be. Dh had bought pink booties as a surprise, really rather sweet of him and a total surprise. I think he was more disappointed initially as he kind of handed them to me in a "don't need these" strop! But after 11 long months swaying ig style, 7 bloody sway factors and having 2 losses, when I found out our third was a boy I actually was devastated ....cried, snot and all for a few days, then I shopped. Beautiful bedding, nursery all done, just like I would have gone overboard if it had been a girl. Poor ds2 got ds1 hand me downs bedding wise! Ds3 was such a mummy's boy, before he became a rampaging toddler. Ds2 was initially a daddy's/grandads boy ... But he's 7 and is a wee mummy's boy through and through! Still nuggles up and holds my hand and says the sweetest things. Ds1 still gives me kisses and cuddles all the time, just not in public. It'll be disappointing, especially having swayed, but your boys will always be your babies, no matter what. Take time to adjust to the news and get shopping! Congrats on a healthy baby boy xxx
Dream pink .... Hugs xxx

Congrats on your healthy bub, and like everyone else has said, your DS will love having a brother and it's so nice to watch the boys play together, fight, wrestle..... 😉

It's so nice that you've got such a supportive DH and Mum and that HT might be an option for you down the track. We can't even afford to look at it as an option, otherwise we defiantly would.

Thanks for all your lovely comments and encouragement ladies, I really appreciate it :) x x

Mrs incredible your boys sound like mine ds1 is a daddys boy ds2 grandad and ds 3mummys they all mummys boys in a way their really protective of me ds3 is so sweet he will tell me how beautiful i look even when ive just woken up lol, i have 2 sofas a 2 seater and 4 daddy sits alone while the 4 of us sit cuddled on the 2 seater they fight over who's sitting with me even my 11 year old they so sweet, they play rugby and football they go in so hard i have to look away i love how they act so tough on the pitch then come home and cry over who's sitting next to mummy brothers are so cute id love to see how they would treat a sister i can only imagine for now! X

Just had my u/s and it's another boy! Feeling a little sad for selfish reasons but just glad baby is healthy. I was really at peace with it before my scan so it is nice to not be overwhelmed by GD!

Congratulations on your new baby boy beachy xxx

Congrats Beachy! Are they absolutely sure though? I am so glad baby is healthy and that you are at peace if it is indeed another boy!

I swayed girl this time, but after everyone raving about how beautiful two boys are, I'm now sort of hoping my boy gets a little brother, so thank you ladies for assuring me of no GD. I can't tell you the intensity that I love my boy, if I got double that, I'd be the luckiest mother alive.

What? You already know? It's not 100% at this point but was it that obvious?
Well I'm so glad if you're ok:) a little extra blue for you!
I'll probably have 4 boys too, I am pretty sure of that! I just hope I'm as ok with it as I'm thinking I will be! Heck, I know I will, like you! We know how much each boy is different and awesome!
Do you have any pics?

Congratulations hun. I bet 4 boys will be so much fun!!! Do you have pics? Xx

Yes, even if you ladies all had another boy it is a different boy, a whole new person with a new set of traits and loves. I enjoy that so much about having multiples of one gender...how different they all can be! I am with you in that I will likely have a 4th boy and I am more at peace this time as well. I am fully prepared for him!

Congrats Beachy!! Must be a relief that baby is looking healthy. Do you have any pictures? We need some cute uls pictures!!

I posted them also in the dream member u/s forum

I sent DH the pics at work since he wasn't able to make the u/s today and he asked me if we want to have 1 more. LOL! I think he wants a girl worse than me!!

oh! He is so cute Beachy!! Congrats again! Funny that your DH said that! I hope mine does the same. Would you take him up on the offer?! Having four boys will be so special!

oh and time to come up with names now!

My husband would let me go 5 but I won't! I am done no matter what lol!

He's very cute NC! I can't believe they are that confident to write on the u/s!
They won't even do that at the 18 week one here!!

Coocoo mine is the same, they won't even guess until 18+ weeks unless you pay to get a private scan. They don't even print potty shots here, at least not at my old clinic. Hoping my new one will.

oh and coocoo I KNOW you are having a girl. I can feel it.

Congrats in another little guy! He looks cute already

Thanks Rosie, I do love hearing that:)
I can't think that though as I let 'maybe' creep in last time and I fell hard. I feel like if I just go in thinking it's my 4th boy I will be happy through my pregnancy! And in the end I'll be happy either way:) but I still don't want to know for sure if that makes sense?!

That's so early to find out NC, what a gorgeous baby boy!
Poppys5 - I replied to you twice and it got lost somehow, guess what I had to say wasn't worth saying lol. Basically agreeing that I'd like a dd for the boys to learn how to grown up with a girl. But I don't think it will happen, and actually don't even think about it as I don't have any hope this time like with the other pg's xx and your boys sound adorable! I went football boot shopping with ds1, he's 10, was lovely to have a wee bit of 1 on 1 time, no bickering, arguing or headache after the car journey xx

So cute Beachy! Love that baby's belly:) That is a pretty good potty shot. I had a 13 week uls with DD and the tech took a peek at the potty shot (not photos) but there wasn't any noticeable boy parts. There were three little dots though.

I think it is awesome your tech (or doc) did that potty shot for you!! Did you also get a nub shot??

Your DH is so great to say you could go for another. My DH didn't want any after the first two and thought he was very lucky to only have boys!! He has clearly been in denial about this fourth baby. After the uls exam I could tell it had really hit him that we were having another... and of coarse he wants another boy!

I keep telling him the way to prevent this is for him to get snipped and he keeps saying no so I am done listening to him say he doesn't want anymore kids:)

I totally understand! I am going to be doing the same thing. In the end I just really want 4 kids. I would LOVE for there to be a girl but if not..then it wasn't meant to be especially after this sway!

Congrats ncbeachy how liberating to have no GD I hope to be the same when I hear third boy enjoy your cool gang xx

Thanks everyone! I have to say it does sting a little (ok A LOT) to know that I may never get to live out my dream. I just have to have faith that there is some other plan out there that I can't control!! I am so happy for this baby and so happy to be having him, but I am just sad for myself. I can deal though!!! Much worse things out there than to have a pitty party for myself!!

You can have a pity party, I mean seriously 1 out of 4 is really too much to ask?? Sheesh!!
Today I was at the park and I've noticed I don't have that lingering for little girls the way I used to. Like, meh, so I'd get to dress them different... Just doesn't sound as much fun as it used to. In fact anytime I see something online, I wouldn't even know what to pick. I ain't no frilly girl lol! I guess this will all help with the no girl thing in the end... Well it's a step;)
Our next dog (not for at least 4 years) will be female! Lol

Exactly coocoo! As I haven't gotten older, it's not so much about the frilly clothes and bows!

But hey, we have yet to have any girls in our due date group so if I can't get one, I'm pulling for you so bad!!!!
