Three: I think that it's a really personal thing. It seems like not only your daughter had this dream of a sister, but you also have it for her. And really, like the others said...if DH is on board, you can handle it being another boy, and you have the money...DO IT! I don't believe I have ever heard someone say they regret having a child, but I have heard those who regret NOT having another child.

But do really evaluate how you would feel if the next was a boy as well. Like where your "stop" line is. We always knew our "stop line" was four kids. No matter if they were four boys, four girls, two of each, three and one, etc. And ME, we won't be swaying for our fourth. I truly will be 110% happy with either sex. Because when I saw our family before we knew what any of our children would be, my only desire was that I got one of each sex. I dont mind having one daughter and three sons. If that is what we end up with. I would have struggled if I had four of a kind, but would have found a way to make peace with it. But I think it's easy for me because I grew up without sisters and never missed it at all. I love being my moms only daughter. I love watching my brothers grow up as best friends. So my answer is obviously not your answer. Mine is no, we would be stopping if it was the number we decided on and even if I had to come to terms with what I had and wasn't going to have. But ours is money, space, emotional ability to stay connected to each child and not lose my mind, and a host of factors that we considered when picking our number. BUT, it sounds like your decision is more fluid and it does sound like you are willing to take the risk of having another boy to give your daughter a sister. And if DH is willing as well...I see it being a total go for you guys

I think I'm calling it quits. I honestly don't want another baby. I just want another girl. But it isn't in the cards for us. And my dd will have 4 great brothers. I think my hormones got the best of me yesterday. I feel better today. I want to focus on my own life too. I want to go back to school...again...lol. And I want to grow old with my dh. I can't keep having babies. And my poor body feels like my insides are going to fall out so I think it's time to throw in the towel. Thanks for the feedback.

I had my glucose test today, and have doc appts every 2 weeks now. As many times as I've been pregnant, when my doc said this to me I cried. I can't believe I'm here already and I'm done being pregnant after this. LOVE MY HORMONES!!! hahaha

Still here but I had a sweep today and have had some strong bh contractions with lower back pain so fingers crossed... Although I think I'm wishful thinking!! They are uncomfortable but inconsistent so far:/
I'm also fighting a nasty cold so kinda would like that to simmer down first... I guess I'll know if these mean anything tomorrow!!

Everything is going perfect. Gained 4 lbs in 4 weeks, I'm up to almost 15 lbs. My fundal height is 25 and bp was low (like normal) 94/52. I'm going to have to have surgery as early as 6 mo after baby for my bladder. I'm going to try to put it off for a few years if I can help it.


My Dr (old boss), gave baby girl her 1st pair of shoes today! They're little pink Vans! So cute!!!!

Threemen - I totally sympathise as I keep having the same question running through my head. Do we stop after this lo or not? I always imagined I would have two boys and a girl, and if this one was a girl I would definitely not be planning any more after this as I would feel like my family is complete.
I have more days at the moment where I think I can't do this again (go through the whole swaying and pregnancy) as I feel shattered already this time and I'm only 29 weeks. Plus without a guarantee that our next one would be a girl I know at the moment hand on heart that I wouldn't be having a baby because I truly wanted a baby, I would be doing it because I was hoping and praying that I would get a daughter.
Then of course I have dreams that they got the gender wrong at the scan and I'm having a girl, or people say to me 'oh maybe they got it wrong at the u/s' and I'm reminded of how sad I feel that I'm not having a girl, and probably never will. I worry about what I will regret most in the future, I worry about what impact it would have on my children if I did go on to have a 4th as I know my time would be stretched. I worry about my sanity too lol!
As someone else posted though you have to draw the line somewhere, I've met two people since finding out this baby is another boy that have 4 boys and no girls. So I know that if I have a 4th there is probably a good chance I'll have another boy... and then what? Do I have a 5th, 6th...? I have to be sensible and let my head balance out what my heart is longing for.

For now I'm allowing myself the 'maybe' factor as I know it is just too hard to deal with the definite decision that this is our last baby and I will never have that mother daughter relationship. I already love my 3rd little man to pieces, and I know as soon as I hold him in my arms I would never swap him for anything. I'm just praying that will be the cure to my gd and that I can enjoy my family and feel blessed with what I have. xxx
