amyanne TTC girl Sway Attempt- UPDATED!

[justhangingouthere]

I think your sway sounds brilliant! How the hell did you manage to run so much with a 4 and 2 year old?! I had to do no exercise as couldn't ever fit in loads of it. Your circumstances and sway are very similar to mine, I've got 2 boys aged 4 and 2 and have just got a BFP. Will post my sway soon too. Will you find out sex? I'm thinking that I won't. Is that unusual on this site? It seems to be the norm with all these nub shot posts. I figure that if I find out I'm having another boy I've got 20 weeks to stew on it, whereas how can I be disappointed with a beautiful newborn boy in my arms? Thoughts?

Firstly congrats on your bfp!!
Secondly not finding out during my last pregnancy made me very depressed with people guessing and saying stupid things about oh I bet u want a girl fingers crossed its a girl bla bla I was losing sleep over my nub photos and spent hours watching ultrasound videos to see if they were like mine to determine the sex and it occupied my mind constantly it's rediculous ... I had gender disappoint when I didn't even know it existed and it very much kicked in the second they handed him to me and stayed a long time ... I love him to peices now and am looking forward to having another baby and will try my hardest during my sway next January ...
I will 100% find out this time so I can shut down people with their rude comments and decorate the nursery & enjoy it and enjoy my pregnancy

Wishing u a healthy pregnancy regardless of what u to decide to do xxx

Congrats to you!

I did almost all of my running with either one or both of the kids in a jogging stroller. I was SO over it and so were my kids so I am just SO thankful it only took two months to get pg (been doing the exercise for 3 months).

My plan is to find out the gender but to tell everyone (minus a few close friends I'm sure) that we are not finding out, no matter the gender. I hated all the comments when I was pg with DS2 and I realized I will also hate any "oh thank goodness you got a girl!" comments too. But I need to know and have time to get excited about a third boy if that's who is joining our family! And if my MIL dares to say she wanted a girl while holding DS3 in her arms like she did when we told her at 20weeks with DS2 then I might actually punch her

I plan to say something like, "we will be surprised but I'm sure it's another boy, can't wait to have 3 of a kind!"

I'm sure I'll still get dumb comments, people are the worst.

I don't know why but I am dreading the comments and want to be prepared with a snappy answer to 'shut them up' and/or make them feel bad for making it! But then I'm pretty sure I've asked pregnant women about the sex of their baby and certainly said some kind of misguided comment when I've only meant well...so I need to perhaps chill out about it. Good call finding out the sex and keeping it quiet. I would have to keep it quiet from my husband though as he is the worst secret keeper in the world, bless him but he's incapable of not telling people things. Fortunately I work as a Radiographer (Rad tech in USA, I'm in the UK) and can get my sonographer mates to scan me at any point so I could do a sneaky scan at work and find out without DH knowing. Hard secret for me to keep from him though, and I guess what is the big deal really?! It seems to me that people really want you to acknowledge that you DO want a girl, especially other women. Well it's true, I do want a girl but it seems like I am being disloyal to my two gorgeous fabulous boys to admit it. I think that perhaps the answer to "do you want a girl?" could be "Yeah, that would be lovely" and leave it at that, with no "but". Everyone knows the "but" is that we can't (normally) choose these things and we get what we're given. I don't need to fill the silence afterward with platitudes but somehow I feel that I do - with comments such as "I wouldn't know what to do with a girl", or "I'm such a mother of boys". Tricky one.

Mother in laws are the worst! We will have to just prove them wrong Amyanne, bring on the pink ones for us...
