My mother in law just saw the babe's photos on facebook and commented, "great to see babbi devoloping so well waiting to know if boy or girl"

And this is why I'd never be able to have a surprise even if I wanted to... she wants to know nonstop and is always asking or hinting to what she hopes it is (because she wants a girl badly to live vicariously through me. My one concern if this one IS a girl... that she will spoil and dote on the baby far more then she did on my son, eek...)

Congrats mummypink on your little boy. I really believe these babies are meant to be as they made it through all the swaying. Big hugs!!!!

[mummypink]

Thanks everyone you're all so lovely!

We went out today to get some paint as we're decorating our bedroom and I went to a baby shop and picked some super cute little elmo socks and a baby brother sleep suit. I have to say it was hard walking past all the baby girl stuff but when we picked the boys up from nursery and told them they are having a baby brother they were just over the moon!

I think I kind of got a lot of the stress and upset out of the way on the build up to the scan, I still can't imagine not having a girl or having three boys but I know it will all be great. My dh said we could have another in the future if I wanted but I know hand on heart I wouldn't be having another to have a baby I'd be having another to have a daughter. I don't want 4 children, I don't think I could cope as I'm already looking forward to being able to get rid of the baby stuff after this one has finished with it. I wouldn't want to go down the HT route so that would mean there would always be a good chance we would have another boy.

I think my three boys are going to be the best of friends, and what a lucky lady I will be with three sons looking out for me! I said to dh you can guarantee they will all go on to have girls and give me lots of grand daughters, I just have to make sure I'm not a mil from hell!!!

I'm going to make our bedroom more girly now too!

Fingers crossed everyone else that is still waiting to find out the gender gets their DG. xxx

Mummypink, I love the idea of redecorating your bedroom to be more girly! I might have to do that, as ours is in no way girly right now lol and it would be a nice retreat to have. Your baby boy will be so sweet and precious!

[mummypink]

Thanks Shellbelle, yep I figure with 3 little boys, a male dog and male cat I am entitled to a girly bedroom lol!

Far too many willies in our house!!! I need a retreat! Haha!

Mummy pink...I am so in awe of you. I hope I respond just like you if I find out ours is a boy. You sound so realistic and even excited. I just hope I am as delighted as you sound. I know it's hard to readjust, a good friend of mine has three boys and I know she had a hard time visualizing them together....but she too is head-over-heels with her third and I love seeing how cute her boys are together. It does make me excited for three boys in a way, cause how many people get that, ya know?!

Congrats on your gorgeous son, you got some super-cute shots there. I love it.

Surgena, I have the EXACT same concerns that you do. Exactly. My MIL is a crazy woman when it comes to wanting a girl. She was so disappointed that K was a boy. Openly as well. And it concerns me that she will all but ignore my boys if I have a girl (or if her other son has one, they are thinking of trying this coming year). She isn't so great of a grandmother with them already, so it really worries me that she will dote on the granddaughter and ignore her grandsons. I hope I am concerned over nothing. But it's a real thought I have. I know my mom won't at all. And I know I won't treat them differently. But I think my MIL would have if one of hers had been a girl (she spoiled her one niece, even to the disappointment of her own sons). And that scares me if mine is a girl this time.

Thanks hotdogz, don't get me wrong I am gutted and feel like sitting and having a really good cry. I'm sure I will at some point when dh isn't about as he really doesn't get it. I think seeing our baby on the ultrasound though just reminded me of how amazing all of this is, what a miracle our new little man is and like you say not many people are lucky enough to get three gorgeous boys!
My other boys reactions has helped massively too, although I feel bad for my mum as she will never have a grand daughter now and I know she was dying to start knitting pink things for me! My mil was surprisingly ok when dh told her, she just commented on what a shame she wouldn't get to buy some frilly knickers but what a gorgeous boy he looked and how wonderful it was. She has a grand daughter from my bil though so that took the pressure off there! xx

[hotdogz&boyz]

I totally understand wanting that good cry. And I hope it helps. I am sure there is a big aspect of disappointment. But you are so gracious and I really hope I can see all the good in having three boys when I am there. I am so terrified I will melt into a puddle of tears right then and there But I am glad people are taking it well too, that is a big aspect of finding out that I am not looking forward to.
