I dont think having older siblings of the opposite sex makes for a tomboy girl or a sissy boy, but we get the comments too, people seem to think if we get a boy he will turn out gay for having 3 older sisters :mad:Quote:

And I love everyone's doggy pictures. Unfortunately we had to give our sweet dog to a rescue organization last year after she bit my older son right above his eye. It was shocking because they grew up together.....she knew Ryan since he was a baby. And she was such a great dog- but after that horrible night I just didn't trust her with my babies anymore. I'm not sure we will ever get another dog because if she was capable of doing that then any dog is capable. She was the sweetest, easiest dog. She has great new owners now (a couple without kids)- and she lives on the beach in NC. I'm happy for her. Attachment 6430
Oh gosh, I hate when people make comments like that. I used to dress my brother in little girl dresses all the time and he came out just fine!!!Quote:

Congratulations on the little boy mummypink! I know how you feel, but I can tell he will be very much loved in your family! So I decided a couple of years ago that I want to be a sonographer, and lately have really been itching to get more info about going to school for it, so I've decided to see how much of it (if any) I can do online for now. I'm really excited about it, and to top it off, tonight DH said that we could have one more baby after this one so long as I go back to school and get a job! It wouldn't be for a while because I'd really like to have my boys all in school before I go back to work, but at least I know I have one more chance! :)
Ok those of you with 3 already: how hard was it going from 2 to 3? My boys will be 4 and almost 6 when this one is born. I had a REALLY hard transition going from 1 to 2 because they were only 21 months apart and they were very overwhelming. The baby cried constantly unless he was being held or fed. Seriously- my mom didn't even want to watch him for me because he was the worst baby ever. And my older son was just such an active toddler. He never stopped......or listened. I am excited about #3 because my boys will be so much older and are already so independent. They will also be in school for the first 8 weeks the baby is here. I'm thinking my transition from 2 to 3 will be much better. A friend of mine on FB keeps making comments to me about how hard it's going to be and how I have no idea what I'm in for, etc. She just had her 3rd a month ago but she also has a just 5 year old and a 20 month old. Tonight I asked her to post more pictures of her newest little guy and she said "Just wait till your third gets here and you will see you won't have any time to take pictures". Well I highly doubt that because I am NUTZO with the camera. I take a million pictures every month- even when the boys were babies (probably took even more photos then). So seriously- how hard is it? I'm thinking she's having a tougher time because of the close age difference to her 2nd son......
Sorry to say, for me 2 to 3 was really really hard, but then again we moved across the country away from family and friends when the 3rd was only 3 months old. So I had a 4 year old and 2 year old and a new baby in a place where I knew no one. Even with that said, I think it still would have been harder with 3 because I only have 2 hands, and when my husband is home, we are still out numbered.
I am in a similar situation to you Jark22, my two boys are 5 and 4 and are 17 months apart in age. I like the idea of them being more independent when I have this next one. With my 5 year old in school and my 4 year old at preschool, I'm sure I will get plenty of prime time with #3 for photos etc :D
Cinss, some of the best men I know have 3 or 4 older sisters :o Your son will be just like them!
:sigh: Dumb comments... will they ever end?
When it comes to transitioning from 2-3 kids I don't count. It was like starting all over again since there is such a hugs age gap between 2 and 3... 10 year difference. When I was the nurse for my OB... I had several patients with multiple children tell me all the time that going from 2-3 was really hard but 3-4 and 4-5 were a breeze.
Hope your ok today mummy?
