Does the pain ever stop...

Hey there! Well I have 7 weeks left before he gets here, but I have started to feel a bit better. My boys 9&7 have been so great this pregnancy, very loving and making me feel extra special to have these little men doting on me. I have 2 teenage step daughters and wow, I must say hormonal teen girls are nightmares. It makes me feel a little thankful I won't have to deal with that, my husband and his ex wife are lol. These are good girls and it's like a switch was turned on...bam

Overnight the sweet 16 yr old has been caught coming home tipsy and her mother and step dad found a condom wrapper! My husband is lost for words, not to say boys don't have their naughty side, but it's different with girls. Girls these days deal with so much more than I had to, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, selfies## hashtag this and that, body image, keeping up with reality tv bimbos...girls have it hard now and it soothes my mind I won't have to deal with that. I will have 3 boys that treat me like a queen and do anything to protect me.

I still have moments when I get down and I just have to remind myself of how girls are these days are a challenge I don't think I could handle. Nothing against girl moms at all, my heart goes out to you lol so I hope that helps give some perspective that all boys is a blessing in disguise...and more opportunity to have granddaughters to spoil and not deal with all the drama.

Chin up lil mama, remember you're the queen of your castle!

Wow not long to go now. Goodlcuk with everything :)

My twin boys are nearly 22 months and the pain is almost gone and is now just a shimmer of sadness every now and then. I can imagine it possible for the pain to go away and just be replaced with wondering

My little man is now 5 months and I mostly have good days but when my boys play up I almost feel I'm being punished for wanting a girl so badly. I'm currently putting together a sway plan but still don't know if I'll ever get it into action. Dh still wants to move house first, this isn't possible for a few years yet, by which time it will be too late.
I'm also fed up with feeling this way and not sure if having that one more go lingering over me is helping or making it worse. Some days dh gives the impression we can try as soon as I'm ready (no af yet) others he goes on about there being no space.

Hugs for you. Rag doll babies are amazing btw we have two boy rag dolls and they are so affectionate and loving. So sorry your away didn't work as it sounded like you put in a lot of effort. In time you'll find acceptance I know you will but right now you have to feel that pain and just keep going on regardless. You're obviously an amazing mummy as your boys love you to the end of the earth and back. Thinking of you. Xxx

Didn't see there was a second page. Doh! Good luck for the next 7 weeks hun xx

Didn't see this one... Oh my sweet rag doll daughter is amazing! She is such a baby lol likes to be held like a baby, follows me everywhere, and loves on me like no other. I would say she is the next best thing, and she will never grow up and give me attitude or rebel and say she hates me haha

I too have a rough sway plan in place but not sure if we will go for another or not. Sometimes I wonder if it would be easier to try to deal with accepting things the way they are now rather than the wondering what could be.
I still want a girl so much and it is easier not to think about it sometimes

Yes! Exactly as you say, sometimes I do wonder if it's easier to just call it a day and move on instead of living with the waiting and hoping!

I have no advice because I'm dealing with the same thing. Just wanted to say, you are definitely not alone. Hope when our boys come they take GD away!!
