September 2013 babies!!

Okay I cant catch up on all the posts. There is just too many pages.
Can anyone give me a run down on who's having what gender if it was found out???

[Elements]

Hi ladies! We had our gender reveal today and had a lot of fun. Everyone enjoyed the surprise blue filling that revealed gender, I'm really glad we did this to show everyone that we want to celebrate this little guy!

However, once the party was over I noticed DS1 seemed really sad. I knew he had hoped for a baby sister (which shocked the heck out of me since I assumed a 10 year old boy wouldn't want anything to do with a baby girl lol). He told me he was really angry that it's another boy and he didn't want it. He said he won't love this baby like his other brothers because it should have been a girl. I was stunned and worried at how hard he was taking this. He sounded just like many moms with GD (and how I felt when pregnant with DS3). I know kids can be disappointed but it really worries me how upset he is. Anyone else experience anyhing like this?

I remeber the day I found Out I was getting a little brother and I was only 4.
I HATED him. It didn't last though Maybe your boy would like to set the room up or paint it or do something really proactive as a outlet and also an adjustment thing?

Sorry Southern Butterfly, my mistake! I haven't posted enough to see sigs yet, so I didn't realise. That is curious then.. Did he say what part he was sad about? Maybe there was something in particular he had in mind about the idea of a sister?

Oh dear Southern, what a shame. I know my eldest I'd thinking its a boy but he's still only 5 so don't really think he has much preference. Does your son have a friend with a little sister? Maybe he's seen them and is jealous?

Perhaps give him some money to buy for the baby and just you two go to buy it? And like someone else said, perhaps include him more in the pregnancy and choosing things for the baby or baby's room!

honeychild i've added you to the roll call thread - let me know your due date and i'll add that too i guess you said in your orginal message but it's so buried now I can't find it!

Southern, do you think he had picked up on your desire for a girl so it's a sort of confused empathy?

fish-we're still waiting for a bump pic.

Welcome, honeychild!

Diva- I sulked for weeks after finding out DD3 was a girl but it seems silly now that she's such an integral part of our family.

Thorz- I'm sure your ex's wife was desperate for a girl. Hardly anyone knows I'm pregnant but I certainly haven't admitted to anyone that I swayed for a boy.

Northern-will you know by this time tomorrow?

My nuchal is in 12 1/2 hours, I'm hoping I don't stare at the nub the whole time and actually concentrate on the much more important things I'm being scanned for. I will post a pic though, but it won't be until thursday night our time.

Yes, this thread sure moves fast! I'm due Sep 8th.

Thanks again all for taking in a stray, it does feel easier being able to share the bumpy journey with people who get it.

Mum to three, good luck!!
