Rainbow, I'm sorry it isn't what you initially wanted to hear, but you have a great outlook on things. After my first son, I knew I wanted a second one. My sisters and I have a real bond that I wanted my children to experience, too. I absolutely LOVE the idea that I gave birth to my sons' best friends...the best man at their weddings...the godfather to their children. I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world. I still think you'll get your girl...it just may take some time. For me, it was 7 yrs after my youngest that I decided to ttc again. Time got away from me...I was having so much fun with my boys. :)
Wishing you & your sweet boys all the best!! <3

Big hugs hon and I know where you are coming from. With my last I walked away from a swaying board full of friends and never looked back. I have to admit it really helped me immensely!! With less focus on what I didn't have all the time I came to love having all girls. You will love giving your son a brother, there truly is no greater gift for a child!!

Rainbow--I was wondering where you had been! I am so sorry that you didn't hear girl. But you sound so well adjusted and level headed about the whole thing, I am impressed! Your post really helped me feel like I will be okay if I end up with an opposite of what I swayed for, so thank you for your perspective.
You will love your little boy, and your son will love having a brother. Congrats!!
Please let us know when he arrives; we would love to hear from you if you want to pop in for a quick update. :)

I do hope you will pop in time to time rainbow, congrats on a healthy baby but big hugs for not getting the girl you swayed for xoxoxoxox

You had such lovely words for all of us to keep in mind, thank you! Raising brothers really is great, they will have so much fun together!

Great attitude Rainbow. You have given us a lot to think about, and you have been so very helpful on the forum. I too remember you from the first few times i came on this site. Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and have fun with your son. Maybe we will see you back here to show off your darling new baby, i really hope so :) xx

Thank you Rainbow for your endless support on here. Even your parting words are heartfelt and helpful. I am so glad I got to meet such a lovely lady on here.
When I found out my second baby was a boy (hadn't even heard of swaying at that point, and I found out by accident during the pregnancy when my OB slipped up) I remember a small pang of sadness that it was not a girl but also felt so happy that DS1 would have a brother. They are extremely competitive, but just melt my heart when they show affection towards one another.
So I guess I haven't made it to Rome either, but Amsterdam is truly special!! Enjoy the coming months and take care. Peony x

Having my second was truely an amazing experience. I felt very disappointed when I heard he was a boy and thought some very dark thoughts, but he was the light at the end of the tunnel and to this day he is my sweetest little boy:HH:
To be honest I never imagined I'd ever get two sons, but it changed me in so many ways and I've learned alot because of them. My two boys are pretty close. I adore having 2 boys and so you will when you have your second boy.
I hope you will come back sometime, but while you are away I hope you'll think about the many positives that come with having two of the same gender :).

I'm sorry that you didn't hear girl but you sound so at peace! I wish you all the best in life and hope that we will see you on here again sometime soon :) Take care!

Congrats on your baby boy! He is sure lucky to have a mama like you! And for sure you can have a girl next if you think to have another baby . I also never wanted a PP no way .Did not think to have 4 of the same or to ever have 5 kids but I will now and it's ok.
I really hope you will come back and post that pic !
