The last yr has been so crazy, my husband and i have 3 beautiful boys and 2 angels, after my 2 losses this yr we are 18 weeks along and just found out its another boy. i am soo happy hes doing great and healthy but everyone always saying i told u it would be a boy and the thought of not ever having a daughter still breaks my heart. i know i will love this child just like my other boys i just cant help my feelings about never havong any pink in my life. Jas anyone ever felt this way?

Oh yes my MIL keeps saying it would be nice to have a boy then we would be done?! UMMM no i have always wanted 3 kids...as long as i can remember! i may not have 3 but its still an option lol and to top it off her first 2 kids were one of each and then she had a 3rd!!! but that there is how messed up some ppl think? like there is a rule or something? lol but with her she never followed the rules i guess?

I'm on my fourth girl. I completely understand what your going through.  But honestly I was a little scared it would b a boy cuz all I know is girls.

I get it too...I have one of each already so folk sort of treat it like they're not interested in what I'm having this time, I get "oh you already have a boy and girl so it doesnt really matter what you have this time". Cos it mattered before??!!! Long as its a healthy baby I dont give a toss!!

Factorymomma I know what you mean! I have a girl and now im having a boy and instead of people getting excited im pregnant the first thing they ask is if we are done having kids since we have one of each! First I don't think how many kids I have and my future plans to gave kids is anyones business but mine and my husbands. I get so offended when someone ask me that. And the worse part, they act like im stupid or something if I say im not getting my tubes tied or that we haven't decided if we want a third one yet.

My favorite thing is (since I have a boy and am pregnant with a girl), "oh since you have one of each now, you gonna get your tubers tied?"
Wait.... What? Just because I have one if each doesn't mean I don't want more children :-p.

I totally agree that everyone thinks we need each gender! I just really thought this was it having 2 losses then getting pregnant so fast after my last miscarriage i really thought it would be a girl. i think to keep trying would be selfish to my boys.

I think there is the added pressure from everyone around to have a variety(well one of each gender that is) as well and i have noticed that ppl are very opinionated to let ya know that you didnt get the opposite gender... its like it is a bad thing or something?? im pregnant with my second and at first i wanted another girl...cause thats what i know but now when i think about it i kinda get sad cause i might not get the boy im "supposed" to want and i know ppl will comment "oh another girl" which is messed up because they are still our little miracles!! So anyway either gender i have im gonna love and be happy about but it bugs me that ppl think i should be slightly disappointed if its another girl.... i hope this makes sense? Im not saying that there isnt room for disappointment either... its totally allowed! im just saying that socially we are kinda judged by what gender we have....
