Thanks ladies :-) I love having this forum of such incredible support. You all understand how badly it was wanted and worked for. I can't really express that to most people in life and just have to downplay it all. It's nice to be able to jump with joy over here :-) And I also appreciate that you all would have had just the right words if it had gone the other way too. Thanks for being such an awesome and supportive bunch of gals!

Another congrats Crazy cat! It really is such an amazing feeling, knowing who is in there, isn't it?! I bet you are thrilled.

And yes, I did the ice bucket challenge. Several times, actually (I did it each time I was challenged, we already donate a good deal to the cause). We lost our very close family friend to ALS in June and it was agonizing and heartbreaking. And I am SO glad that the ice bucket challenge has really brought awareness to what ALS is. Most people didn't even know that it was the same disease as Lou Gehrigs. Or that most who are diagnosed die within two to five years of diagnosis. Our friend died almost exactly three years after his diagnosis and left behind a wife who was not yet 40, three kids...two of whom are in lower elementary school. So, yeah, I am loving the ice bucket challenge. I do encourage donations to other charitable causes as well though...I think it's all good to share the wealth (DH works for a nonprofit financial management foundation). Just keep talking about ALS for at least a little while. This is the first big break ALS has gotten. I know it would make my friend so happy!

Hi everyone! Haven't been here for a long time and missed a lot of fab news! So happy for everybody who got the desired gender, and can totally relate to those who did not since I am in the same boat . At 14 weeks ultrasound I found out that I was expecting boy #3 (later it was confirmed by Harmony test and 20 weeks anatomy scan). I was devastated, couldn't stop crying and feeling guilty at the same time... For some reason I had been almost sure that I would hear "girl" (even though I didn't sway but it turned out to be a kind of unintentional sway, so my hopes were pretty high). Now I am almost 25 weeks and very excited about my little guy and can't wait to meet him. I am sure I will love him as mush as I love my other two sons, I can't imagine my life without them! But somewhere deep inside I am still longing and hoping for a daughter... When I got pregnant the third time, we were sure that this would be our last child, no matter what the gender would be. Now I am not so sure about it, and DH is being very supportive. I am not ready to give up my dream! What bugs me a lot is that I even didn't have a chance to sway, and if I don't try I might regret about it for the rest of my life. With DS#1 I didn't think about swaying - I just wanted to have a baby. DS#2 and DS#3 were oops pregnancies - with both of them I was going to start swaying in a few months but those guys somehow just got ahead of us :-). So if there is a next time, I would love to do everything I can to help my little girl to make it through... BUT the main factor here is my age - I just turned 39, and if we decide to TTC again it will be only when DS #3 is about 2 y.o (DS#2 and DS#3 will be only 20 months apart, so I physically will not be able to afford another baby that close in age), which means I will be at least 42 by the time baby #4 is born. Am I too old to think about it?

Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to share with somebody who would understand what I feel. Nobody around me (except for DH but even with him we haven't discussed it lately) knows about my feelings, and everybody is pretty sure that I am done with the babies, not even asking about planning the fourth one... Which makes me wonder: may be I am really crazy for wanting and thinking about the fourth child for us?

Dear Lovemykids

I can understand 100% your feelings. I am 39 as well and I thought that for me number three is the last one due to Age.

Please don't feel guilty for your feelings. It is so understanable that you were hoping for a girl and that your felt disappointed when you found out having another boy. As you said it took you some time to accept it but you will love him as much you love your other sons for sure the Moment you will take him into your arms.

With ds 2 after 7 month of thinking pink my doctor corrected his oppinion and I found out that we are having another boy. I was crying for weeks and felt so guilty. But it is important to accept These feelings and now I love him more than anything Else and don't want to give him back ;-). It will be the same for your third son.

With Baby number three we are having a girl but I only belive it when I will have her in my arms. I always said that this will be our last one but for sure I would change my mind if we would have another son (in the beginning I only wanted two children ;-)). I have so many friends getting their babies in their fourties (even the First one) so please don't be concearned about your Age. If you are still thinking that your family is not complet after getting your lovely ds #3 then just try it.
My thoughts are with you...

Lovemykids, I'll be 41 when I sway & while I frequently have moments of thinking I'm insane & waaay too old to be doing this, most of the time I don't think I am. I just found out high school friend with a grown daughter is expecting a girl (she has a 2yr old boy too) so now I feel even less crazy.

Hi everyone! Had my scan the other day. I was 11 weeks 6 days but measured 12 weeks 1 day. Any gender guesses?
Congrats to all those who found out gender.
Lovemykids - three boys is a very special combination. My three are best friends abc my ds3 and I have a very close and special bond.
