"she only makes boys"

Island Meadow, that is such an insensitive thing to say of your own mother. Hugs to you :kissy:

Island- my dad said something to that exact effect my last pregnancy, he said I know you want a girl but I think it's another boy and your cousin will have a girl. I just remember saying gee thanks and being really irritated.

My mom has said since we found out the gender to everyone "it's another stinking boy" I feel like she's ashamed of me and my other two boys. My brother has two girls and they live about 6 hours away. She still asks me all the time if they are sure about the gender... As if I don't feel bad enough!!

I told her last night and she said: Oh, I hope you have a girl this time, but I think you're going to have a boy. I don't know why... it's just a feeling. I don't want to jinx you or anything, but of course, the baby already is what he or she is anyway. Oh, and I really think K & C will have a girl.

Ummm... okay. What do I say to that? Gee thanks for your prediction. I'll make a note of it.

I'm sorry I had to butt in island meadow.. Regardless of what gender the baby will be and what people think.. Shouldn't put a damper on your day .. People are so oblivious to the fact that soooooo many couples out there are barren whilst others have a 1 in a million chance to conceive.. But We are blessed to be amongst those who are fertile and child bearing and on top of that give birth to a healthy baby considering the tons and thousands diseases/disorders that are being diagnosed .. We are so blessed to be given all that and people are just totally inconsiderate ..
