Ugee, everything crossed for you :)
Business.woman, I've just started taking my vitamins again. Only because I've been feeling more tired than usual. I suspect work has a lot to do with it though.
I made my first double layer cake this afternoon/tonight. I made my gender reveal cake. I'll try to add a pic of the cake and the invite.

I held that baby girl until my arms were about to fall off and I loved every bit of her but part of my heart was still broken and longing for a boy. That cloud of "what if" followed me around for years and the jealousy of others was a challenge every single day for a long time. I tried so hard back in those days to not let that side of my heart overtake the side of my heart that loved and cherished the joy of babyhood, but honestly, many days it was a 50/50 tug of war. I feel like I cheated myself out of some sweet memories...but I couldn't help it at the time.
I hope your heart and head can divide the joy this little boy will bring your life from the grieving process of not having a girl. I hope that eventually the 'joy of baby boy' will overtake 'the loss of a girl' and you will find peace. I SO wish their was some answer to 'why' in the land of making babies, but their just isn't.
Big hugs mama.
Me+4 - I'm so sorry for what you're going through! You have every right to feel upset and post here whenever you want, that's why we're here! Random question, do boys run in DH's family? Atomic disagrees with me on this, but the science shows 20% of men are carry strong "boy" genes and it's so hard to fight that. My aunt is very much a "girl mom" (diet, personality, exercise patterns, etc) but has 5 boys and 1 girl and her husband was one of 5 boys, his father was one of 6 boys, etc. Boys go way back in his family! Otherwise you had an amazing sway and this little man was obviously meant to join your family. Huge hugs sent your way.
businesswoman - I've have been AWFUL this pregnancy with vitamins, etc. I do know that with prenatals they are extremely important pre-conception and first trimester and once the baby is fully formed (2nd, 3rd trimesters) they aren't as "crucial". I miss many days and don't stress myself about it. It's so much harder growing a baby and caring for a baby at the same time . You moms with 2,3,4+ kids on top of being pregnant are my heros! I can't do this pregnancy + child rearing thing again myself, we are more than done ! :)
GL today Ugee!
Sorry forgot to add that your cake and invites are precious boysway! We did a gender reveal for just family with cupcakes for the twins and had a ball! It's much more fun I think when the mom and dad already know. I threw a gender reveal party for my friend and her and her DH wanted to be surprised. When the Dad found out it was DD2, he was devestated and didn't hide it at the party. Eek.
Me+4 vent away! I felt the same way with DS3 I tried the shuttles method with him and well it didnt work lol. DS3 was my first I breastfed and I bonded with him so much I also co-slept with him also. DS1 & DS2 look nothing like me but DS3 could be my twin except with blue eyes :) He is the earliest to walk and talk and is my little boss :) I know you will love your little boy to the moon and back. I am sorry that it didnt go your way, I know I would be very upset if my sway didnt go my way eithee.
As long as its okay to you please keep us posted and share any good or bad news you have GL
