Sorry you didn't see anything PP! Your baby is so bashful!!
Peony, I hope you can talk your OB into giving you a scan. I'm sorry that you didn't get any good pictures last time.
Hobber, I am sorry you are bummed, but let me tell you this (again)....YOU ARE SUPER LUCKY!!!!!! xxoo
I know Lola, I am sorry, I don't mean to sound ungrateful.
I just don't want to go through this whole GD thing again. I don't want to be disappointed in my baby. I don't want to feel ashamed to tell people the baby is ANOTHER girl. I don't want to feel inferior to all the moms who pop out boys effortlessly. I don't want to feel like a failure because my sway didn't work. I don't want to have to tell my DS he will never have a brother. :(
Hobber - You are still very lucky to have atleast 1 of each. Whatever comes after is just an added bonus. All people need to know is you wanted 4 kids. And they are less likely make comments about you because you don't have 2+of the same gender and pregnant or trying.
Hobbers i know how you are feeling at the moment, i too feel very similar. I dont yet know the gender, but i dont want to tell people that this is another boy :( I know already that people who know im pregnant think i have done it just for a girl not that i wanted 4 kids but to be honest even if i had one of each i would have had four but they wouldnt believe it...argh! I dont want to feel a failure with my sway and unable to give my DH a little girl (which i know he wants). How can i tell my DS1 he wont have the sister he so wants, he insists that baby is a sister, how will i tell him its another brother?!
I have just been torturing myself looking at lovely little girls clothes and made myself upset thinking i will never get to buy any for my daughter :tissue: why do i do it to myself??
Im trying to convince myself that i will be ok if its a boy, but seriuosly i dont think i will be. Im just kidding myself!
I've been sitting here like an idiot not knowing where to post, I have some good news, still in a bit of a shock I had my scan ladies and its a boy! the sonographer showed me twice because I didn't believe her, and I saw it! I burst out crying when she told me and I've been crying tears of happiness all day, me and my husband can't quiet believe it. I really wanted to share the good news with you ladies that dreams really can come true, I can't believe I have a little boy on the way its crazy. I'm in shock still.
Bumblebee, that is such good news. I love hearing people get their desired gender...it can happen!!! Wow, bet it feels great to know you have your son in there. Huge congratulations xxx
Yay Bumblebee!! I am so happy for you!! The other day you were just saying it was a girl... it must feel so good to be wrong!! :DS:
So so excited for you Bumble!!!! :D
Well ladies 24 hrs to go till my scan, so so soo nervous!
Happylea, I really hope you get to have a little girl to buy clothes for, and your DS gets the sister he wants. I hate that people have to make comments! Why should it matter how many kids you have?
thanks ladies! its going to take a while to sink in! it will probably sink in when I go baby shopping! TTC5 you're next! :P
PP, I know you are right, but it is really hard to see it that way. I know my kids will love any sibling they get, and we will love the baby if it is a girl. I just need to make peace with it, I guess.
Hobber, you aren't sounding ungrateful....just trying to shake the fear from you a little bit. You are super lucky in every way, you really are....no one in the world is going to think you are a failure. Honestly, outside of your DH and maybe a few extended family members, no one really gives a shit what kids you have. Your friends don't care, they love you and your kids all the same, just as your DH and all do, so try not to look at it that way. I don't mean to post the same old "don't have GD" drivel, because I know you've heard it all, but I hate reading that you feel upset, and you don't even know what you are having! Your DS will live if he never has a brother. Life will go on for him and he'll be the little king of his castle and love every minute of life as long as you guys keep on being a happy family.
Hobber I hope you get your little boy, we all have dreams and wishes in life and I hope your dream comes true, think positive you never know until you see between the legs so don't be afraid to hope that it could be, whatever happens you will be happy, we always love our children no matter what and you will love your new baby too.
Thanks Lola... this made me cry a little bit. :heart:
It just hurts to hear the kids all say (all 3 of them) that the baby is a boy, because I know they will be a little disappointed if they are wrong (though I know they will love whoever the baby is). I know DH only cares about my reaction--he doesn't give a crap about gender. I am a little worried about my sister, because she has GBB, and was pretty smug about getting a second boy after I had DD2, and told her about my GD. She is always trying to one-up me, so I am sure she will have something to say.
But really, why should it matter? Why do I care so much? Why am I so lame that I have to judge my happiness and worth by the gender of my kids? I wish there was some way to brainwash the GD out of me!
Bumblebee HUGE Congrats!!!! Wow it must of felt soooooo good when she told you BOY! Good on you!! xoxo
thanks ladies, I been trying to update some topics to add my sway information and any useful info, I hope I haven't left anything out, want to help as much as possible. Am knackered now, goodnight all and take good care xx Good luck with your scan TTC5 :)
Bumblebee - what fantastic news!!! Congrats, hun! Enjoy shopping for BLUE!!!
Bumblebee, what a gorgeous surprise for you!!
So thrilled. So great to hear when a plan works like that!
I had a big reality check last night. I was busy worrying about the silly pics I got at the u/s and then last night I heard that a close friend has just had a m/c. She has tried for 2 years to get pg and we were due 2 weeks apart and now she has lost it. It is so easy to get caught up in all this, but really I need to remind myself how lucky I am to be able to have
healthy children.
And thanks for all your nice words about my silly u/s lady. It made me feel better. GL TTC5. You have nothing to be nervous about I am sure!
Peony, I am sorry about your friend. That must be so hard! :( It does put things into perspective, doesn't it?
WOOOOOOO HOOOOOO I've been Really waitin' for this one...

Sending you the biggest :hugs: possible. I'm so sorry you're feeling upset - of course you're grateful, but we all have dreams. This might not help, but I would love to have two (or 3) girls and a boy! You're not inferior, in fact I wish I could have girls effortlessly. Even if your son may not get a brother, he will still have his sister (and if they aren't close to him right not, there's still every chance they could have a great bond in the future - a sister/brother bond can be even better than the brother/brother bond).
Maybe this baby will surprise you in ways you never thought it could:HH:. If you have GD, you will get through it. You're a really strong lady and I know you will get through your gd just like you did with your DD2. Big big hugs.
Good Luck TTC5!!! I can't wait to see some u/s pics of your boy :D
Lol Butterfly, love that pic!
I feel the same way Hobber. DH keeps relentlessly trying to talk me out of my persuit for a 3rd child. But I just won't let him do it! We all have our dreams, and some of us won't give up our dreams for anyone.
I just will NOT feel complete until I have my baby girl! So I too judge my happiness on that too. DH calls me selfish ALL The time!
I want more than anything to give my boys their "baby sister" Then there's everyone in DH family trying to push us to go for a girl since we have the only blonde hair blue eyed kids. It's SO frustrating!!! I know I was carrying a little girl, from the day of my BFP. It's just horrible. Please try to feel greatful for a healthy baby!
I got to give you credit though, you are EXTREMELY STRONG! I would have watched that DVD by now in secret. No doubt!
LOL If you decide to find out before baby is born, don't feel guilty that you want to do it. We will are be here for you to help you through it! And you might just be pleasantly surprised! If you did find out, and it was a boy, just think..you could make a cake with blue inside.. and present it at dinner.. it would be an amazing moment to cherish forever.
I really think it's a BOY. I just have a feeling!
I really think I am going to be the one to have such a clear boy nub BUT it turn out to be a girl... I really do....
17 hrs and counting but starting to feel to scared to find out :/
This one!?

Hahaha Thank you!! That's my, "I'm gonna get you if you don't STOP
feeling a certain way, beating yourself up, being ridiculous attitude!"
But TTC5 knows It started as a joke between us when I saw the OBVIOUS winkie..
Because I am 1000% sure she's having that "It's A BOY!" phrase uttered tomorrow! ;)
Butterfly, oh I wish I felt it too but right now I'm feeling very woe is me, and it's going to be "another" girl... so much so I don't want to know now.... but I do...
I will be the one with a boyish boy nub that turns out to be girl after all, just to mess with my hopes :( You all wait and see!!
TTC5, I'm super excited about your scan!! How many hours hon?
And honey, that's NO nub.. that's a penis!!! hehe :rofl:
Under 17 hours now LOL!!
I need to focus on baby being healthy!!!!
Oh I cant wait either! she will be shocked!!! I know the feeling tho your having ttc5 as we will never be so lucky, I feel that way I feel like there is no way my baby is a girl, cant shake the feeling
I will break down in tears I think, that or just be utterly stunned I will stop breathing LOL!!!
I know Butterfly and I am not just repeating myself for people to say to me it looks like a girl its just I really feel like it wont be.
It does seem girly but skull theory is not proven
Should we film us opening our envelope and post it here for you all to see how cool would that be!
