Lots of folks struggle with infertility and don't have that hope that you have, so try to hang on to it. It's going to happen. I just know it. If I have to hang out here for 4 years to see it, I'm going to see it. I believe it.
And Flava I'm with Lola, just bc a sway didn't work before doesn't mean this one won't. For one, you've changed significant things since last time. Personally I don't know what the heck I'd change from mine. I seriously can't see where, other than good ol' rollin' the dice, I "failed" and IF (and ladies, that is a GIANT if) we decided to have another baby I'd sway again. I just posted it in the sway results thread but IRL the folks I know with 3 girls FAR outnumber those with GGB, so if I see even 50% of sways working, well to me it's better than the natural odds. You've got a GREAT shot at getting blue. FX you do!
I can't recall if I mentioned it or not but DH has decided we should find out. Mostly because he thinks it's a girl too so why don't we just find out now and let the DD's know and hopefully all get super pumped about it. I can't lie and say part of me isn't hoping the first scan was wrong .... but I know odds are we'll just be getting confirmation of what I already know later this month. Anyhow, we'll have them write it down and then plan to go to my fave baby store and open it there, so when we open it I can immerse myself in retail therapy immediately :) Thank heavens I already know so I won't be bawling in the middle of the store. I really, really had hoped this was our little fella so it's nice that I've had some time to get most of the sad out.
Also through our convos DH has said if this isn't our son then maybe it means we aren't done with kids after all. I can't imagine raising 4 kids though, and I'm definitely NOT willing to get pg again w/o knowing it would be a boy. I don't want the emotional rollercoaster of HT. So IF we have another we'll do an international adoption. And right now, it's good for me to know that's out there because it means that IF 2 or 3 years from now I still feel an emptiness for not having a son, we CAN have one. And even better, we'll have one who really, really needs a home :HH:
