Confused

[purplepoet20]

I have been feeling a little better. I still have moments. I didn't have hormone issues with the boys, infact I was a little to calm. DH has noticed that I am really snappy with him and for the first time in all my pregs I have no desires to attack him. He made sure we had a talk about that last night.

My FIL keeps calling it another boy. My MIL was really upset by that comment and I guess she tossed 70% of his dinner in the trash for saying that while she was eating and thinking girly thoughts. She told him that if he calls it a boy one more time she was going to divorce him LOL Sad thing is I think she really would!

Yeah, I am definitely far snappier and bitcher in this preg than my boys. I know and *feel* really different, and I know they say don't read into symptoms but I can't help it...I was so calm and serene with my boys and want to kill someone during this preg!

Girlmom, I know you have more girls than my mom did, BUT I have one brother, and two sisters....so it was GGBG, and my brother, being the only boy in the family is so beloved and cherished. Trust me, I know he wished when I was first born that I was a brother, but we are very close to this day still, and I think having all sisters made him very understanding and compassionate and i think he's a great husband because of US GIRLS! Don't worry, your baby will be awesome, and he will love being king of the roost!

And just don't let your daughters dress him up...my brother was dressed up by my two older sisters until he told them, "no, I'm not doing it anymore." They used to put the KISS makeup on him when he was a kid. And he's fine, happily married with two sons of his own....no RuPaul there

thanks auroara, im excited to be having my 1st boy i really this its just hormones and fears of the unknown. im sure some of these moms with 3 or 4 boys who find out they are expecting a girl sometimes feel a little nervous. im glad your brother didn't turn out to be a drag queen and i hope mine won't either. although i did tell dh rupaul makes alot of money and seems quite happy so maybe being a drag queen isn't so bad. lol

My son was disappointed our last was another girl. He really wanted a brother. We didn't have the heart to tell him these were two boys. Though his youngest sister adores him and he's got a great bond with his oldest sister. I really hope even at 20+ we can finally give him a brother (well 2, we want the last 2 to grow up together ~ not giving up!)

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy! I hope you do get your girl, but another boy would be nice too (really, yes, really!)

Tink, I hope your boy gets a baby brother .

And Purple, I know how you feel.. pregnancy hormones really suck at times, I remembered thinking dark thoughts when I was around 8 weeks pregnant with my third baby. I think I was mainly scared of having another kid all over again, another mouth to feed and I was worried that if I had a girl, she'd be really lonely (I wanted at least 2 or 3 girls, not just one). Turns out, my third was a girl, and although she's not lonely now, I worry that her brothers might exclude her from their games in the future .

I kind of feel that way sometimes as to whether I've done the right thing by getting pregnant again because even now I don't think I'm ever going to be lucky enough to have a son and we'll just get another girl and I'll have to face all my relatives saying oh poor you no boy, no heir, and the burden of getting 3 girls married. Sometimes I feel like my husband is placing full responsible on me for this pregnancy because only I wanted to get pregnant and try again and he had no choice but to go along and oblige so if we have a girl its all my fault, that really depresses me but what can I do its too late and I didn't want to go through life regretting not trying one more time. Its like its now or never for me so whatever happens I just gotta face it somehow.

I come from a large family with 3 older brothers, and it was a great childhood. Our house was always loud and crazy and there was no time to ever feel lonely. Now my kids have tons of cousins to play with and my Mom has loads of grandchildren. I like that I'm going to have the same number of kids my Mom had. Our family IS a party - even if we don't have company on holidays, it will always feel like a celebration because there are so many of us. I look at my friends with 1 kid and think about how quiet Christmas morning must be....

I had to smile at this post because I also have a 20+ year old son who really wanted a baby sister!!

I love Christmas morning at my IL's... 2 little kids who take 4hrs opening presents because they have to play with each one, the breaks to eat breakfast and get coffee, and the trying to get all the presents opened so we can move with the day. I can see fitting in diaper changes and nursing into this coming Christmas. The best part of Christmas for me is my BIL and his family never come so I don't have to listen to them yelling at the kids to hurry up.
