Just popping in to say my anatomy scan went well! It's still a boy and a girl and most importantly they are both looking healthy and measuring on track! I'm so incredibly grateful for my babies and couldn't be happier. I teared up at the scan from the sheer joy of it all. As a child I always wanted boy girl twins when I grew up and although as an adult twins were one of my biggest fears it does feel very special to have a childhood dream come true. Sorry for the mushy post, just feeling so happy today!
Look forward to hearing from you Ugee!
It is so wonderful to read that so many of you girls are getting your much longed for gender. I catch up on here everyday and this really is an amazingly lucky thread! It's why I've waited so long to post anything, I don't want to pee on anyones parade but.......I just wonder why me? My weight loss was good, my timing was good my sway was good! So why am I having another boy? I feel it must be something I did or didn't do as everyone else who swayed has got what they wanted. I'm sorry to put a downer on this thread. I don't even need a response as there is nothing to be said. I just felt I needed to vocalize how I was feeling. I have come to terms with never having a daughter (sort of) and will love this little boy as I do the others.
Oh I'm so sorry. I wish I had some words of wisdom to tell you why. I know I would have felt exactly like you do, and I am sure there are many women out their who swayed and got an opposite and feel like you do now. I'm sorry again, I wish I had answers for you. big, huge hugs.Quote:

Me+4. I think sometimes we can do everything possible to put the odds in our favor and luck still isn't on our side. I truly think luck has a big part of it. I do. Sending hugs and thoughts to you. I always hear people with opposites say how special their GD babies are to them. I hope that for you. Xo

Me+4 I'm sorry your sway didn't work, I will feel like you do if mine hasn't either. I will also love the little boy just like you do. My boys have been little angels this week and I truly love them with every part of me and hope if that's all I have I will find peace without a daughter and I hope you do too if it's your last. I wanted to post this to you now as I'm not sure how I will feel later today. Either too sad to say something or to happy and it won't come across as sincere. Hope we keep seeing you on here :bighug:
My scan is at 1.30 today so will update later once we get home. Wish me luck
I did post earlier but, Tapatalk ate it. Me+4, please don't think you're putting a dampener on the thread. You are just saying what's in your heart and head. It's healthy to talk about it. When I was pregnant with my youngest and we found out we were having another girl, I was crushed. I love my girls to bits and wouldn't change them but I longed for a boy. At the time we had no intention whatsoever of having any more kids. It took a little while but once I saw my new baby, the pain pretty much went. I will admit when my sil was pregnant for the first time and she found out she was having a boy, I distanced myself from her. To this day I still feel terrible about it. But, I did get past the pain and enjoyed having another bub of the same gender. You will get there, in fact it sounds like you're already on your way. Remember, we're here for you x
Im so sorry Me4 , this boy is ment to be , and u will love him no matter what !
Ugee FX fx fx
Happy for everyone else having there desired gender !!
Do u take vitamines ?
I keep forgetting to take them and im eating junk food , nothing healthy , I hate myself for this , as Im gonna hurt myself and my baby's health ! Ahhh
Ugee, everything crossed for you :)
Business.woman, I've just started taking my vitamins again. Only because I've been feeling more tired than usual. I suspect work has a lot to do with it though.
I made my first double layer cake this afternoon/tonight. I made my gender reveal cake. I'll try to add a pic of the cake and the invite.

I held that baby girl until my arms were about to fall off and I loved every bit of her but part of my heart was still broken and longing for a boy. That cloud of "what if" followed me around for years and the jealousy of others was a challenge every single day for a long time. I tried so hard back in those days to not let that side of my heart overtake the side of my heart that loved and cherished the joy of babyhood, but honestly, many days it was a 50/50 tug of war. I feel like I cheated myself out of some sweet memories...but I couldn't help it at the time.
I hope your heart and head can divide the joy this little boy will bring your life from the grieving process of not having a girl. I hope that eventually the 'joy of baby boy' will overtake 'the loss of a girl' and you will find peace. I SO wish their was some answer to 'why' in the land of making babies, but their just isn't.
Big hugs mama.
Me+4 - I'm so sorry for what you're going through! You have every right to feel upset and post here whenever you want, that's why we're here! Random question, do boys run in DH's family? Atomic disagrees with me on this, but the science shows 20% of men are carry strong "boy" genes and it's so hard to fight that. My aunt is very much a "girl mom" (diet, personality, exercise patterns, etc) but has 5 boys and 1 girl and her husband was one of 5 boys, his father was one of 6 boys, etc. Boys go way back in his family! Otherwise you had an amazing sway and this little man was obviously meant to join your family. Huge hugs sent your way.
businesswoman - I've have been AWFUL this pregnancy with vitamins, etc. I do know that with prenatals they are extremely important pre-conception and first trimester and once the baby is fully formed (2nd, 3rd trimesters) they aren't as "crucial". I miss many days and don't stress myself about it. It's so much harder growing a baby and caring for a baby at the same time . You moms with 2,3,4+ kids on top of being pregnant are my heros! I can't do this pregnancy + child rearing thing again myself, we are more than done ! :)
GL today Ugee!
Sorry forgot to add that your cake and invites are precious boysway! We did a gender reveal for just family with cupcakes for the twins and had a ball! It's much more fun I think when the mom and dad already know. I threw a gender reveal party for my friend and her and her DH wanted to be surprised. When the Dad found out it was DD2, he was devestated and didn't hide it at the party. Eek.
Me+4 vent away! I felt the same way with DS3 I tried the shuttles method with him and well it didnt work lol. DS3 was my first I breastfed and I bonded with him so much I also co-slept with him also. DS1 & DS2 look nothing like me but DS3 could be my twin except with blue eyes :) He is the earliest to walk and talk and is my little boss :) I know you will love your little boy to the moon and back. I am sorry that it didnt go your way, I know I would be very upset if my sway didnt go my way eithee.
As long as its okay to you please keep us posted and share any good or bad news you have GL
GL Ugee!

It worked :D There was a slight delay before everyone realised bub is actually a boy.http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...067bc9ca40.jpg
Oh how wonderful, Ugee! I nearly cried myself reading your post! Congratulations on your baby girl!
Boysway I absolutely love the cake and the inside was definitely like none I'd seen before-great idea!
me4 we all get it and talking about it and letting it out helps you on the road to "recovery" as it were. We all can realize the what if it was us and how we would have felt. It may not mean much coming from one that got their wish but I know how I felt when my first was a boy that I was not thrilled about and thought was potentially my only due to health problems. I had to find the fun things to cheer me up and excite me like decorating his room and collecting all the giraffe stuff that I could find. It was the little things that perked me up and during that time I had NO ONE that I could talk to in real life or online. My mother actually told me I better get over myself because my son would know that I didn't love him. LOVE HIM? we all know how far from the truth that is for each of our children. Support is all important and you have lots of it here :)
OMG ugee I couldn't help it shes playing dress up in there LOL
