Ladies due in Sept/Oct/Nov 2012, gather here!

Bumblebee, what a gorgeous surprise for you!!
So thrilled. So great to hear when a plan works like that!

I had a big reality check last night. I was busy worrying about the silly pics I got at the u/s and then last night I heard that a close friend has just had a m/c. She has tried for 2 years to get pg and we were due 2 weeks apart and now she has lost it. It is so easy to get caught up in all this, but really I need to remind myself how lucky I am to be able to have
healthy children.

And thanks for all your nice words about my silly u/s lady. It made me feel better. GL TTC5. You have nothing to be nervous about I am sure!

Peony, I am sorry about your friend. That must be so hard! :( It does put things into perspective, doesn't it?

I just don't want to go through this whole GD thing again. I don't want to be disappointed in my baby. I don't want to feel ashamed to tell people the baby is ANOTHER girl. I don't want to feel inferior to all the moms who pop out boys effortlessly. I don't want to feel like a failure because my sway didn't work. I don't want to have to tell my DS he will never have a brother. :(

Sending you the biggest :hugs: possible. I'm so sorry you're feeling upset - of course you're grateful, but we all have dreams. This might not help, but I would love to have two (or 3) girls and a boy! You're not inferior, in fact I wish I could have girls effortlessly. Even if your son may not get a brother, he will still have his sister (and if they aren't close to him right not, there's still every chance they could have a great bond in the future - a sister/brother bond can be even better than the brother/brother bond).
Maybe this baby will surprise you in ways you never thought it could:HH:. If you have GD, you will get through it. You're a really strong lady and I know you will get through your gd just like you did with your DD2. Big big hugs.

Good Luck TTC5!!! I can't wait to see some u/s pics of your boy :D

I burst out crying when she told me and I've been crying tears of happiness all day, me and my husband can't quiet believe it. I really wanted to share the good news with you ladies that dreams really can come true, I can't believe I have a little boy on the way its crazy. I'm in shock still.

You'll be in shock til birth! I know I was. I have the same family make-up as you - only opposite genders :)
Congrats on your baby BOY!

Lol Butterfly, love that pic!

It just hurts to hear the kids all say (all 3 of them) that the baby is a boy, because I know they will be a little disappointed if they are wrong (though I know they will love whoever the baby is). I know DH only cares about my reaction--he doesn't give a crap about gender. I am a little worried about my sister, because she has GBB, and was pretty smug about getting a second boy after I had DD2, and told her about my GD. She is always trying to one-up me, so I am sure she will have something to say.

But really, why should it matter? Why do I care so much? Why am I so lame that I have to judge my happiness and worth by the gender of my kids? I wish there was some way to brainwash the GD out of me!

I feel the same way Hobber. DH keeps relentlessly trying to talk me out of my persuit for a 3rd child. But I just won't let him do it! We all have our dreams, and some of us won't give up our dreams for anyone.
I just will NOT feel complete until I have my baby girl! So I too judge my happiness on that too. DH calls me selfish ALL The time!
I want more than anything to give my boys their "baby sister" Then there's everyone in DH family trying to push us to go for a girl since we have the only blonde hair blue eyed kids. It's SO frustrating!!! I know I was carrying a little girl, from the day of my BFP. It's just horrible. Please try to feel greatful for a healthy baby!
I got to give you credit though, you are EXTREMELY STRONG! I would have watched that DVD by now in secret. No doubt!
LOL If you decide to find out before baby is born, don't feel guilty that you want to do it. We will are be here for you to help you through it! And you might just be pleasantly surprised! If you did find out, and it was a boy, just think..you could make a cake with blue inside.. and present it at dinner.. it would be an amazing moment to cherish forever.
I really think it's a BOY. I just have a feeling!

I really think I am going to be the one to have such a clear boy nub BUT it turn out to be a girl... I really do....

17 hrs and counting but starting to feel to scared to find out :/
