It's not so much the fact that I won't ever have a girl that's bothering me.. it's family saying "oh, you poor thing" like having three boys is a bad thing? Ugh.

I totally agree with you! I mean I have always been vocal about my desire to be an only boy mom, and they still say this to me! I tell them that laughingly that I don't view having all boys as a disability, and I'm super excited to have another baby to snuggle with! That always makes them stop and congratulate me!
People!

I've always loved being a boy mom! Having a healthy child is a blessing, like I've said all along. That's all that matters!

I'm so glad that you aren't disappointed. I know he will be exactly the person who was meant to join your family. I think the peanut gallery comments are always the most annoying part of any of this whole process. Boys are great, and while I prayed for a girl, it was never because I don't love boys. I'm just one of those people who likes variety- I could never choose between my dog or my cat, lol, but I was unhappy until I had one of each.
Congratulations on your healthy baby boy!
What really bugs me too is my MIL isn't posting about this little guy like she did for my two SIL'S girls. It's like she's not excited what so ever. Kind of sad, you need to have different gender children to get any excitement out of DH'S family. I just need to unplug and stop caring about what other people think. I'm excited about my baby boy, that's all that matters.

Barf, are we sure you and I don't have the same MIL? ;)
After seeing people struggle to conceive at all or who have children with disabilities I feel so grateful to even be having a baby at all. People who think less of the pregnancy because it's "another" boy or girl are very narrow minded. Whilst I wanted a girl before I found out the gender I always thought I'm lucky to be pregnant, a healthy baby is a bonus and gender really is not really relevant compared to those 2 things.
I think if you can help it is not to tell people you tried for a girl, or had a preference at all. If they think you're happy with the outcome that might shut them up. When I was younger ( and so silly ) I used to comment on gender. It didn't mean much to me at the time, I was genuinely curious if people wanted a girl or boy. Now I cringe when people say similar things to me.
No idea why your MIL is posting about one gender only. I thought as a grandmother there would not be a preference... Weird.. Very weird

I'm so sorry you have to go through that Seabee and Fivebabies! I am surprised that a grandma to these babies would be that way! It makes me sad! Babies are so sweet to snuggle, it's fun getting to know them, and I love the challenge to try and see what will make them belly laugh for the first time!! Why can't people see that they are special regardless of gender?
Hang in there ladies!

Anyone else experiencing Braxton Hicks? I've been getting them since early pregnancy and now they cause such pain to radiate in my back! I'm going back to the workouts I used to do that works my core say to see if that helps. Sheesh! I feel like when go time comes, he'll fall out, lol!! I did have 6hours or less labors with my other two boys, so we will see!

I think my biggest mistake was saying "I'd like to have a girl to even out the ratio a little". I've always said I would be happy with another boy too. But still, people feel bad for me. I'm sure once he's here everyone will shut up.
