My latest way of dealing with boy #3 is to pretend that this was an oops pregnancy, that we weren't really trying so when he is born I won't feel that people were thinking I was trying for a girl and got disappointed, make sense?
I'm surprised by how many women have told me about their unplanned pregnancies, usually the last child, and it's always been a girl. My DD (first born aged 9) was an unplanned pregnancy so I'm starting to wonder if most unplanned pregnancies are girls? My other 3 were all planned and yes, all boys. Of course this doesn't change anything but it does add to the sting...
Everywhere I look I see familes with 2 boys and 2 girls, it's not fair, why did I end up with 3 boys and 1 girl! I bet those families weren't even bothered about gender, when all I wanted was a another girl.......
We went out on Sunday, DD was all dressed up, she got so many compliments on how nice she looked, her outfit, how she was growing into a beautiful girl, my sons got the usual "hello, how are you?" ... no fuss, no compliments, no comments on their nice clothes.....
Sorry this has turned into a rant, it just annoys me the way my boys get over looked by everyone. Do people thiink they need less attention because they are boys???
