So sorry you didn't get your pink bundle, from2to3. I'm sure when he's born he'll melt your heart. Hoping you and baby are well. x

hi everyone,
i haven't been on here for a while.. just thought i would check in and see how everyone is doing... so i had an experience the other day that made me upset.. i realized what it is about finding out the gender is peoples reactions. one of my girlfriends when i told her i was having another boy said, "wow you are CURSED with boys" it was sooo hurtful! i was thinking to myself.. i am so blessed to have these magical little souls in my life and she just told me i am cursed. so rude. anyways... moving beyond that..
for those of you who heard girl (HUGE congrats!) i am totally jealous.
for those that heard boy.. i'm sorry and know how you are feeling.. just so you know the first week was sad for me and i was obsessing about having another baby and going high tech.. bc i was so desperate to feel like i still had a chance at a girl.
i will eventually entertain that option, but something happened and i had a huge shift.
i started getting really excited about my little boy, picked his name, and started ordering stuff from etsy for his nursery. i went to visit a friend who just had her second baby boy, and it made me realize that moment when you first meet them, and no matter what you just can't believe the little human is a creation you made. they are so pure and the room is always filled with so much light and joy when they come in. when my other two boys were born, they both brought lots of luck to our family (with finances) i am convinced it was them that brought us this.. so i am sure this next little fella will bring some gift as well.
i have been talking to him in the womb and letting him know i cant wait to see his little face, and what kind of personality he will have.
just thought i would let you ladies who are experiencing GD know, that it will get better. i think once i decided on a name he became real to me. and i started to test out his name on birth announcements, and i got so happy!!!
anyways, thanks for letting me rant... and i am really feeling good and optimistic about my future.. 3 little boys what a blessing! and if a girl comes eventually great, if not thats okay also.

Thanks ladies. I'm just numb right now. Hasn't fully hit me, but enough to where I'm sad, and depressed about stuff. I know I'll love this child and he's a blessing, that's not what I'm worried about. I loved DS2 right away but I still felt like something was wrong or missing everyday and I was distracted and almost bitter. Don't want to feel like that the rest of my life.
To top it off they found an echogenic focus of the heart and we need to go up and get a specialized ultrasound. Dr isn't worried because it's just a "soft marker" and everything else looked great and healthy but for us it's just enough to cause us to worry about downs

from2to3 I am so sorry you did not hear girl & that you have to have a specialized ultrasound. Prayers that they will find everything is perfect with him at that next test.

A similar thing happened to me with ds3. They saw something on his heart and the ob went on to say I was going be high risk and the baby would be rushed after delivery for heart surgery. She was giving me the worst case scenario. I then had a specialized echocardiogram on the baby while in the womb and everything was completely normal. It was just a calcification.
I am hoping everything is fine with your guy!

Sorry 2to3 you did not hear girl and I am sure everything will be ok with the dr. When is your scan?
