Im so glad you are feeling at peace with what God has given you. Enjoy your boys.

That's sort of where I am! I think just having boys is kinda cool and I like not having the typical one of each! Of course I am in the 2ww so we will see but I have already decided and stopped the diet to move on with my life if I'm not pregnant! I felt this journey actually made things more clear. That I see what I have is awesome and would be so fun to move forward with! I think even if I have that 3rd, and it is a girl there will still be this difficult stage of closure all of us must go through. An end of an era, no more pregnancies, babies etc! It is hard!! So I think not having th opposite sex makes that transition even harder!!
Of course I have felt a little dissaponted as I haven't had much symptoms... But a good part of me is scared it has worked lol!!
Either direction is going to be difficult for me, I get really ill while pregnant!
Back to you, just thought it was nice to hear someone else feel similar because most people keep going until they succeed and it's kinda led me the other direction funnily enough!!
Good luck either way, either direction is meant to be and I think you can be at peace with that!! 3 boys are awesome!!!

I´m glad you´re in such a good place jjc.
I love to read this on here because we tend to only look at our desire and not at what we do have and can do with our lives.
I´m also looking forward, after this baby, to move out of the baby phase and get back at developing myself in my profession, hobbies and be proud of my boys as I watch them grow up.

But since that is how you´re feeling, this is probably the month you´ll end up being pregnant

I think that is always how it goes. I was frantic the first days after ovulation, wondering if anything took, and right before I got my BFP, I felt calm and really wanted to lose weight and enjoy DS2's babyhood for a while longer.

Then came the BFP, and then the depression for a few weeks about why did I get pregnant so soon? Then the worry about what others would think if I had a *3rd* boy, then to the realization that I honestly get along better with men, and maybe God really wants me to a mother to ONLY boys? Then finding out I am pregnant with a little girl, and being so happy and excited, but feeling a little bit weird about the 3rd boy (that I somehow feel still wants to be born) not happening?

I feel for you. I hope it turns out well for you, but I have a feeling if your mom had that dream you just *might* find yourself with a BFP. Not trying to scare you or anything. A co-worker told me she felt I was pregnant before I knew and I took the test that night and it was a very faint BFP.

Good luck on whatever happens and make sure you update us

I know what you mean and several times leading up to my sway I questioned whether I really wanted another baby anyway. Of course I want the one cooking in my tummy now but there were times when I wondered whether I was doing the right thing for sure. You decided to take a break last year jjc and enjoy your boys without thinking about ttc - something obviously brought you back?

I also find myself sticking up for boys a lot! A couple of boy mums from school this week were saying they'd have another baby (one has 2 boys and one has 1 boy) if they could guarantee it was a girl and I stood there talking about how great boys were - a bit hypocritical considering we swayed for a girl!

[atomic sagebrush]

I really think there is something about swaying in general but pink swaying in particular, that triggers this reaction. People seem to hit a wall or something at some point (not that you're unmotivated or not thinking clearly, just that swaying pink seems to bring this emotion out in people).

If you're REALLY sure that you're ok with it, that's one thing, but since I rem. this happening last year too, I'm just concerned that this may be a temporary situation and not a destination, KWIM?? You've done so much and worked so hard, I hate for you to not be able to at least try. If you get a boy, that's great, no worries, and you're just more of a boy mom than ever!!

Yeah, the world is prob. going to heck in a handbasket, but it always is! The world needs people in it and a loved child is never out of place. Even if we're wearing barrels and burlap sacks for clothes LOL! I totally knew I was doing the "wrong" thing when I TTC last year, and all evidence pointed that direction but then a lot of good things happened for us all in a row and everything worked out.
