Grasshopper, I am so very sorry, I know EXACTLY how you are feeling, I was OK that ds2 was a boy but with ds3, they couldn't really, she said if she had to guess she would say boy, so we had to go back 2 weeks later just to get some things checked out as he wasn't co operating that day, so had to wait for that time hoping and praying she got it wrong.

Anyway when I went back and they confirmed boy, I just cried, the same tears I cried when Dr S said I only got 4 eggs, just tears running down my face and I felt so bad, I was possibly going to hear something was wrong with my baby and I was crying. I was sad my entire pregnancy, I would just cry every now and again and dh just didn't know what to do with me.

BUT the up side is, I can't imagine our life without my precious little boy, I still want that little girl, but having him is a good thing. I am so sorry this didn't end how you wanted it. My dh was also sure 3 was it, but he has relented.

Good luck, please keep us up to date with how you are going xoxoxo

Grasshopper, it really sucks! I have been following your story for so many years. That coin you spoke about in a previous post, it could have gone either way. I thought about this a lot in my third pregnancy.

If it helps, my number 3 is 18 months old and I have come to know why the coin flipped this way for us. Each of us needed this little boy. My eldest is our alpha male and number 3 has brought out a sensitivity in him and taught him empathy. My second born was lost in the shadow of his elder brother until number 3 came along. He is the bridge between the 2 boys, he was the missing peice between them. It feels like the jigsaw puzzle is closer to being complete, number 3 was critical to our family dynamic. I am still hoping to add another peice to my puzzle..... o to feel complete : )

Take care hun
