My husband was the exact same way last pregnancy.. he felt bad I was so upset and thinks it'll happen again, if they do say girl I will probably be shocked also, I will keep you posted:)! So glad you got your girl!!

I totally understand. I'm pregnant with #3, first two are boys and I also believe it is absolutely impossible that we'll have a girl. I don't even know what I'd do if they say girl because I've had it planned in my mind since DS2 that we'll be a family of all boys. I hate all the annoying comments about "oh, I hope this is your girl" "trying one last time for a girl?" and my MIL in relentless about telling me she's dying for a granddaughter. When my MIL found out we were pregnant she's like "ah better start praying for a girl" and I was like.. sorry, that was already decided a few weeks ago and she's like "oh noooooo, I should have been praying long ago for a girl" making it SO obvious that she won't be happy about another boy. Were totally staying team green this time because I can't handle all the annoying comments!
when do you find out what you are having? That sounds exactly like my mom she's all like "oh i'm hoping its your girl!" or i'm constantly asked my symptoms and they try to justify that is why it MUST be a GIRL.. ugh.. we just went ahead and told everyone we are team green to try to stop it because I would be bothered by calls/texts almost daily, it gets so annoying after a while.. Did you try to sway a girl at all? or have any Ramzi predictions for your first u/s? mine was in the wrong plane but I had 1 boy guess and 1 girl guess so of course I couldn't even do that, plus two psychics say BOY.. hoping for a girl but my hope is slightly withering away at this point=[ GL though I hope we both hear girl and have healthy babies!
I was very sad to read this. I wish your DH would be more supportive, even if he doesn't understand. Our feelings are just that, so long as we keep our actions moral and ethical, we can feel whatever we want.
I am a HUGE advocate of lying to people about the gender, either way. It is your baby, your body and its no one's business. When the baby is born, they can pry all they want, but until then, they can just shut up and wait!!!
Big hugs honey, I know exactly how you feel as DD3 was my big GD baby. #3 of the same gender is tough but you still have every chance of having a girl in there. Keep us posted, we all understand!!!!
Aww hun I could have wrote your post. I am right there with you on the anxiety. I find out Friday and the anxiety is eating me alive. DH has zero sympathy and he just laughs at me when I tell him how bad it hurts, and then tells me to go see a shrink.
I am terrified at the idea that I could be having another boy and feel like I will completely fall apart if I don't hear girl at my scan. I hope both you and I have happy endings. We deserve em. Good luck and keep us posted.
We're probably not going to find out. We did with both boys and sort of want the 'surprise'. This is our last baby so we'll see if we can hold out but I can easily see us caving too! I swayed for like 3 solid months and I ended up losing too much weight that my cycles got all messed up and I basically lost ovulation. I tried sticking to a few things but I kept getting BFN's so by the time the BFP cycle came I wasn't swaying at all. We just wanted to get pregnant so I started taking prenatals again and working out.. not exactly strictly following the girl diet. I'm sure it's a boy.. but who knows. DS1 & DS2 had polar opposite pregnancies and they are both all boy so I've stopped paying attention to symptoms or anything as I know it personally means nothing for me. I'm only 10 weeks so I haven't yet had a 12week scan so no nub to see yet! I don't even want the scan, I feel like if my picture has a nub (neither of my boys pics did) it makes things so final - even though they aren't 100%. Good luck to you.. I still think it's totally possible and really still a 50/50 shot, but it's hard to think that when others are SO annoying!!!!!
I keep going back and forth with wanting a surprise or finding out and today I am more on the wanting to wait idea..I think I will have a better pregnancy all around not knowing than to know and have GD..plus my DH wants to wait!! Ill keep you all updated either way:)
