Find out in two hours -- feeling nauseous with anxiety

Our anatomy scan is in two hours and I've been a bit of a wreck all weekend -- crabby with DH and DS's and have felt nauseous for the last 12 hours just thinking about it. I THINK I've convinced myself it's a boy so that there will be less shock and disappointment at the ultrasound but I know I will still be a little bit crushed to learn I will never, ever have a daughter (this is our last, for sure!). The worst is all my friends and neighbors have been texting me nonstop wishing me luck and just being generally excited for me, and even though they insist they won't be disappointed if it's another boy, I still feel a lot of pressure there...I have dreams of finding out its a girl and going straight to the mall, but deep down I know I'll probably come home to mourn alone...

Don't get me wrong, I will LOVE my son the same way I absolutely love my other two. I just really want to experience both...

Keep your fingers crossed that the ring test and three internet psychics were CORRECT.

Well, the psychics were wrong--it's definitely boy #3 for us! Actually the waiting was much harder than actually knowing. There was definitely that moment of "wow, there goes my dream." But now it's easier to move on and start planning. Also putting the news on fb helped because everyone is leaving such nice comments. I'm sure I will have my GD moments but its actually much better than when I found out about DS 2. The hardest part was seeing my dh react--he had tears in his eyes and his face was sort of crumpled...I had no idea he even wanted a girl :(

Congrats on your boy... I am sure I will be right there with you in a couple of weeks!! Sorry you didn't hear girl but I keep thinking about it and there is part of me that thinks that three boys would be great:) I know what you mean by the waiting is awful. I just wish someone would tell me and I am having another boy and put me out of the "not knowing" misery!!

BZ, congratulations on your boy. Three boys really is its own special thing. For my DS # 3' s 20 wk scan, I had my other two boys with me. My oldest was 4 at the time and when he heard "boy" he cried and was upset!! I ended up comforting him. I did not expect that. I was very sad for a few weeks then began to look at names and buy little things just for him. Now I have an amazing little trio.

I was the same way when I found out DS #3. I cried at #2, but with #3 it was much easier.
