So convinced that this is another boy....can't be excited about the pregnancy :(

Hi there I was just curious if you ended up having a baby boy or a baby girl.

All 3 of my boys have perfect Girl skull shapes so definately do not take stock in that theory there is every chance you have your girl on board - Fingers crossed :-)

Sorry I forgot to update - it's another boy. I was very very sad for a few days and cried a lot. I actually wanted to do HT for our 3rd child, as I didn't want more than 3, so I was so angry at my DH for saying NO to HT, therefore robbing me of the chance of having a girl. But now my DH says we could go HT for a 4th, and even though I feel 4 children is daunting, it's what's holding me together. I might still have a chance of a girl if HT works for us. I have decided to think of this baby as my bonus baby, the one I wouldn't have had if we'd done HT for a 3rd. So we are all looking forward to his arrival, I'm trying to think of all the positive aspects of having 3 boys, rather than focusing on what I didn't get. Hopefully we'll be successful with the HT, even though I'm realistic about our chances, I will be in my late 30's by the time we do it. But now I try and focus on what this little man will be like and how he will fit into our family. Luckily I haven't had many negative comments about another boy, something I did get when pregnant with DS2.

I had serious gd with ds3 from 12 weeks when I found out to 22 week scan. After that it was still there but not as bad. Ds3 is now 2 and is the cutest toddler ever and everyone loves him. He makes me smile constantly. I am now pregnant with ds4 and I know there's no more chances for me so have quite bad gd but hopefully once he is here that will all go. Sending lots of love

Congrats on your 4th son! Having a one-gender family is pretty special

One of the things I worry about is what will happen when my sons are grown up and they gravitate towards DILs family rather than mine. I feel now that the more boys I have, the larger the chances are that at least one or two of my sons will gravitate towards me. One is allowed to hope!

Claire, three boys are fabulous and I hope you get to enjoy that for a few years before welcoming your HT DD.

Claire, congratulations on your 3rd son, 3 boys are truly beautiful our 3rd ds is just a delight & we couldn't imagine life without him, we decide to go HT for our 4th and are nearly 20 weeks pregnant with our dd
I truly hope things work out for you like they did for us and that you have a dd in the near future, enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and your new little boy. Wishing you all the very best

Thank you lovely ladies!

I have 4 boys and find out in two weeks if I am having another boy or not. For the sons migrating to DIL family. My husband and I go MIL more than my parents. We live on same lane as inlaws and about 2 miles from my parents. My MIL is great and if I ask her if she can help or watch kids she looks at her calendar and gives direct answer. When it comes to my mom I can ask her and she says well I have to see what I am doing or not sure what I am doing . It can be 2 months away. I can call my MIL and she will go shopping with me more than my mom. My husband has a twin brother. I am hoping at least one one of my DIL and I will have the relationship I have with my mother.
