Aaargh!! I'm gonna be in bed lol. I'll be going to sleep with my fingers x'ed for pink for you, GL!!!!!!!!

I think there is a great chance you will hear girl! The biggest majority of people get an opposite on #4...not many keeping getting the same gender!!

2. After DS3 was born (& I knew he was a boy before he was born), I was taken to my recovery room. And I was smitten to hold my little baby & glad it was all over. BUT, the nurse started talking about another little girl down the hall...and I was JEALOUS. I'm sitting there, holding my son, & I was jealous & sad that I didn't have a girl.

I really think if I wait, I'll have worse PPD than I did knowing.

It's hard, because I know I'll love the baby. I know I'll love holding him. It's just not realistic that I'll be happy to hear it's a boy.

The day my DS2 was born he was the only boy and there were 17 girls born right around the same time... Everytime the nurses came in they kept saying her or she, I cried everytime they left. I know it will be hard if it happens again but in the end loving your baby for who they are is a wonderful feeling no matter the gender.

WELL! Here I go! Finish some chores, drive kids to babysitters, & drive to hospital. I wish this was as fun as it was the 1st time I had an ultrasound. I wish a lot of things.

I'm trying to convince myself that if it's boy #4, then God's using this to mold me into the person He wants me to be. I'm selfishly begging for my molding to be done a different way. I'm feeling somber. Kinda like I'm going to the funeral of my hope of ever having a girl. Praying baby's healthy. Praying a healthy baby is enough to comfort me.

Will update when I can. Thanks for prayers of peace & understanding.

Good luck hon....I hope this is it for you, that you finally get that girl!

Good Luck, hope you hear pink x
