Due in March/April/May 2013 Roll call!

I wondered about the going from 2-3 thing too... DS1 will turn 4 when I'm 38 weeks, and DS2 won't be 2 until July. I'm so nervous about having 3 so young! DS1 will hopefully be starting preschool around August though, but we are home alone so much that I'm scared of taking care of 3 little ones all by myself! Too late to be thinking about that now though, huh lol.

Thanks HB, I woke up feeling ok and then I remembered and it kind of hit me. I just feel really sad tbh, I feel like I have let people down which I know is really silly and no one is saying anything to make me feel like that. I'm putting on a brave and happy face for everyone, but inside I feel like I'm grieving for my little girl.
I keep reminding myself how lucky I am, a friend of mine lost two babies and another can't have any so I feel totally selfish for the way I'm feeling. I know I'll be ok, and I'm sure the feelings will go away but I think I had convinced myself without realising it that this really was going to be a girl. I had everything planned out in my head of the things we could do together as she got older, how nice it would be to have female company etc etc. Now it feels like it has all been taken away from me.

I'm going to go and have a good cry in the shower now the boys have gone to nursery, I think I just need to get it out of my system.


As for going from 2 to 3 children I'm not so worried about that, I know it will be hard work but as there was 17 months between my first two I think it is going to be fairly easy in comparison. Both the boys are toilet trained, and understand instructions which of course ds1 didn't when ds2 was born. They are both eager to help and excited to meet their baby brother. They will be 5 and nearly 4 when the baby is born, of course it all depends on how easy or difficult the baby is and I'm sure it will be a bit harder getting back into a baby routine as I was never out of it when ds2 came along. xx

Oh mummypink, I am shocked you are also having a boy! How could it be?? The boy rate in this group is getting too bizarre, I mean even if we all swayed boy it would have been unbelievable! Anyway, I hope you're doing well and that GD hasn't hit you too hard.
This last few weeks DS1 has been keeping me busy, turns out he has some kidney disfunction , something that's called Nephrotic syndrome. He was hospitalized for a few days for check ups and observation, and at first we thought he would get over it without treatment. Unfortunately, last weekend his face started swelling again (edema due to kidney problems) and now we have to start giving him steroid treatment for at least 4 weeks. I must say that seeing all those sick children in hospital has made it very clear to me how valuable our kids and our own health is, more than ever. So, I just wanted to remind ourselves that we should be thankful for our healthy children, no matter boys or girls!

Hugs mummypink. I'm so sorry you are hurting, please don't feel guilty for the way you are feeling, it's normal, it it will get better, I can't speak from experience (yet!) but everyone on here says that all gd disappears when they hold their bubs.
Your little girl might still be in your destiny, just not right now.
Hope you feel better soon xo

MummyPink.. my goes out to you. I send you (((((((BIG hugs)))))))) to deal with this unexpected disappointment.
I am so sorry. I guess your little guy saw how much FUN your family was and wanted to be a part of it. I believe when you meet him he might just be the absolute light of your life, but for now I can only imagine how you are feeling.

Thanks lovelies, so glad I have you all to understand. I've been really tearful all morning and my dh is in a bit of a mood with me as he just doesn't get it at all. I feel like a complete selfish cow as a result, my friend is due her baby girl any day now too.

I think I am officially crazy as I've been Googling how often u/s are wrong, which is mental as quite clearly you could see the boy bits and at 19 weeks it isn't going to be wrong!! I just never imagined having three boys, from the moment we had ds1 I always thought we would have two boys and a girl.

I know it will be fine, I'll move on and get over these horrible feelings but right now it feels like gd has swallowed me whole.

I just woke up from a horrible dream. In it I had had a baby this past spring who was born sleeping. My doctor wouldn't let me hold the baby and my husband didn't want me to know the sex because he thought it would be too painful. In the dream, I was pregnant just as I am now - and we still didn't know gender (same as now). I begged my husband to tell me the gender of the baby we lost and of course it was a girl. So in my dream I had so much anxiety that this next baby would be a boy because I felt like losing that baby in the spring was the only chance we had at having a little girl. I hate crazy dreams like this. I wake up sad and then I always try to analyze them....... Hoping the next 11 days flies by without too many more crazy dreams.
