Did your older children just KNOW that they were having a certain gender sibling? (Long)

My boys too talk about how much they want a sister...they assume I can just give it to them. When we tell them about the baby I will have to keep reminding them it could be another brother and that that is okay too.

Yes, like I said above, I always always reply that we don't know it's a girl, it could be a boy etc. and I never talk about girly things around him at all. It's just funny that he's so specific.

The moment i told my two sons they were getting a brother or sister, my youngest one (3 year old) said: i know it's a babygirl. And he started to spread the news at daycare ;-)

Fortunately he was right. Though, i 'warned' him it can also be a little brother. But he was very consistent and hard headed, lol

Aw that's sweet! My son hasn't told anyone yet that I know of.

Your son sounds so sweet too!

We immediately got questions from the daycare workers 'are you pregnant with a girl?' No, i said, i'm only 9 weeks... Three weeks later we did know LOL

As that's great. I hope he's right but am happy for him to have a brother too.

Two stories. First, when I was pregnant with my first he wouldn't cooperate at the ultrasounds so we didn't know what we were having yet though, some were leaning towards girl. I was at my friend's house and her daughter who couldn't have been more than 5, rubbed my belly and said "I think it's a boy". Found out at the next ultrasound she was right!

Second, my story as to how we ended up going for three kids sounds so similar to yours, it'd take too long to explain but lots of prayer and things led to this. The day we took and got a positive test, we were driving and my oldest told us a story about how he drove to the city and went to the hospital and picked up his baby sister. (He didn't know we were pregnant or even thinking about a baby). Then, when we told both boys about being pregnant after our first ultrasound they both (but especially my youngest) insisted it was a baby sister, and both prayed at night as well. Unfortunately they were wrong, per ultrasound anyways but only God knows FOR SURE right now but ultrasounds aren't leaving but a .0001% doubt ha.
I really hope for you he is right! Sometimes my youngest still says "my baby sister" and my oldest says he wishes we were having a girl because there's enough boys in the family and he wants a sister...it breaks my heart.

I'm sorry for that disappointment. Your boys sound awesome and I'm sure the three of them will be best buds. I wanted my younger son to be a girl but now I feel guilty for even wishing that. He is so perfect in our family and brings so much joy. Even though we swayed for thus one I keep praying for Zgod to help me trust Him with my family dynamic. He does know what's best!
