Congratulations on your baby boy, brothers are great! I am pregnant with baby number 4 and our sways seem very similar, so I was really interested to read yours. I have girl, boy, boy and hoping for a girl this time. I never swayed before, this is my first attempt at swaying and last baby,
Ht is not an option for us, x o
Haha, sorry I meant bf the two younger ones! My 2 and a half year old looks at me like I'm crazy when I start feeding his brother, I try to tell him I did it for him too, but he doesn't understand! Sounds like a similar plan when it comes to the feeding, I might even start a night time bottle soon to help settle him before bed, I did this with my first and it worked a treat!Quote:

I am liking the thought of them playing more and entertaining each other as they get older though.
I haven't really started looking into the process too much yet.. I almost feel like I'm 'cheating' on my newborn.
Good luck Girlieplease! And I honestly think a lot does come down to luck, I've read some really strong sways end in opposites and some lighter ones be successful. Hope u do get a sister for your daughter and if not like u say brothers are great! XQuote:

I really love the baby stage, but the constant feeding is getting me down too, hopefully the feeds space out soon and I get more time.
I really hope Im a OHW too!!!!! 2-3 cycles would be my max, Im going back to work so really need to save some extra $$ If we were successful there are other things we would need, like a new car to fit all these kiddies!!
Would you consider swaying again if it didn't work out? I still fantasize about going to that ultrasound and being told it's a girl :bigsmile:
Haha.. I hear you! I also have a super active toddler too, I can't complaint much as he is a very good sleeper! :)Quote:

I love my boys but 2 is maximum for me and to be honest, my ideal world is a boy and a girl, and I still get jealous seeing people with one of each..
I went to a playgroup the other day, 2 moms whom also have a new born(a girl after a boy of course, both of them) they came to me and asked "is she or is he" I goes "he", one of them went "oh that's nice, the other one went "oof, 2 boys, it's gonna be hardcore" i only replied "well, it will save me some money to go to the gym" but I instantly felt offended and upset, the worst thing is, after they discovered that I have 2 boys, they just kind of walked away from me [emoji33]
So no matter how much I love my boys, I still super desire to have a little girl in my life.. And knowing that I don't have her yet makes me sad sometimes..
What about you? I guess you will try to sway after 2-3 cycles? And if I remember it right, you are about 34/35? I'll be 37 next year, so time is not on my side :(
PS, my English is not so good, I hope you understand me and I have lots to learn about the HT journey..

We really are twins on opposite sides of the globe! I love my boys more than anything but I get super jealous and a bit sad seeing ppl get a girl after a boy, which seems to be everyone around me at the moment :( I always though I would have a girl first, then maybe a boy, I wouldn't have cared what the second was. But u can't plan these things! Luckily there are also plenty with just boys so that helps.
Those woman at your playgroup seem really rude.. Like my hubby says a boy and then girl is boring, who wants that! (He's just trying to make me feel better bless him!) I hate that cliche about boys being a handful, what about teenage girls?? I had an older brother and tell u the truth we fought a lot and are not particularly close now. I like to think that my boys will be very close.
I don't think I will sway again either, I couldn't hear boy at the ultrasound again, I love my boys but 3 is definitely our limit. Yep, I'll be 35 next year and feeling the same about my age, but I don't think it's too old for either of us, I still want to get started sooner rather than later!
Ps your English is great ! Totally understand u!

Yes, sooner the better for me too, i think I'm kinda forgetting how painful the labour was and I am pretty ready for the third, I kept thinking everyday how we can manager 3 kids when we go out, like going from places to places, I have this thing in my head that "ok, I'll hold the eldest one and carry the baby and my DH will hold the middle one".. Quite scary in a way but I start feeling excited about it!

Yes! I keep thinking the exact same thing, how will we manage with 3 out and about! I guessing my oldest will be walking confidently without a pram by then and the younger 2 in a double. I also worry about them out numbering us, at the moment I can handle the baby and hubby my oldest.. and dividing my attention between 3.. so much to think about really!!!! I'm already getting the 'are you going to try for girl' comments when I tell ppl I have 2 boys.. it's already driving my crazy :(
