Toe you are doing amazing!! Your positive attitude it setting the tone for the rest of the group who might not hear their DG. So way to go!! You are amazing!! Know we are here for you in any and all ways. Praise God for a healthy miracle!!! My friend loves C names with her boys. I know you aren't set on it but her boys' names are really unique and all places in Ireland. They are pregnant with their 4th, a surprise, so I can't wait to hear their name... Cashel "Cash", Camper and Corban.
Today we finally told our family! They are excited. Shared our photos from decorating eggs with the girls and among the pics was this...
feels so good to have shared.

Not sure why it didn't post... and I agree, I too always just wanted to be a boy mom. Well two boys and 1 girl... I have two girls so we will see what happens, but Roe you are handling the news wayyyyy better than I did with my two girls. Seriously you are awesome! Keep it up
Fun way of telling everyone xxxQuote:

Im the same ladytara im pretty doubtfull now...i just feel like even though i probably want a girl more than anyone else in my family my hubby n kids and mum will also be so disappointed..im more worried about telling them its another boy...just so much stress right now i cant start to enjoy being pregnant until the harmony results x
I agree it's telling people and seeing their reaction that hurts more than having another boy personally. I just don't know where all my hope has gone ☹️Quote:

Ugh. There isn't anything worse then family and friends confirming your worst nightmare that you're unborn child should already be mixed with disappointment! I mean, in the grand scheme of things the gender really doesn't effect them that greatly, nothing like it will the parents. (If it really should affect even us is up for debate in my mind 24/7) [emoji38]
But anyway, I remember the expression on my MILs face when she opened her gift with the blue, signifying her grandchild would be a boy. I expected her to be thrilled. Her expression read: yeah, been there done that."
She has 2 boys only herself.
It only confirmed my depression and anguish. Not to mention then her other son's wife then immediately got pregnant and ONLY would hear of it being a girl and viola, that's what she gets. And the way our MIL favors her is crushing.
Anyway, now I'm just ranting. My point is I wish family would just smile and keep those thought private. When my friends or family announce their 4th or 5th boy or whatever, I treat it the exact same way as any other blessing. My feelings shouldn't matter.
Rant over.
I pray I can deal with this better this time around.

I couldn't agree with you more, Wantanother! Since when did having a baby become anything other than a blessing? I remember announcing that we were having DS3, and that he was a he (we found out early with MaterniT21). Most family member laughed or made comments about us only making boys. You could see the sting of their comments in my DH's eyes. I always followed up with how excited we were, which caused people to stop with their comments. It would infuriate me if people treated my boys differently. I would have to keep visits supervised only and leave if I felt the person was going too far.
I hope and pray that this time will be different for you. GD is hard enough without family and friends fueling it. 🤞🏻[emoji1317][emoji175]

I've announced to a few nearest and dearest recently and the comments came rolling in just as I'd expected them to...sigh. I feel like I wanted a girl because I felt pressured that I should have one as daft as that sounds...in the grand scheme of things now that I've unexpectedly become pregnant I realise that as much as I'd like a daughter I wouldn't mind another son either...but people don't seem able to grasp that and so the gender comments keep rolling in!
Hey everyone,
Sorry I haven't been on here in a few weeks. I've been feeling pretty down lately. Having a hard time getting excited for this pregnancy because i don't really "feel" pregnant a lot of the time, and I'm still worried I will miscarry. I am also convinced we're having our third boy, although I know I'm being silly as I have no way to know this yet. I thought I didn't care that much about gender anymore, but I just feel like I'm in a mental rut now for some reason. Actually, it kind of makes me feel better to see that a lot of you have posted about feeling the same way (not that I want anyone to feel this way, but at least it means I'm not crazy).
Shanshaff, I'm so glad to see you saw a heartbeat and everything is ok! I was wondering if there had been an update from you since I last checked in. Roe, sorry you didn't hear pink. XX, huge belated congrats, although it sounded like it was practically a sure thing since that nub shot. :)
