My son is now 14 months old...and yet i still think about wanting a girl nearly every day....Especially now that many people i know are having their second babies already...

I am scared to even try for a second baby because i know i will be crushed if i have another boy...

What make things worse is my sister is trying for another baby and she is trying for a girl...if she has a girl i will be extremely jealous and i feel like i will be guaranteed to have another boy ( i know it sounds crazy but my siblings kids have gone in order of girl, boy, girl, boy, girl, boy (my son)

I hate feeling this way

 I understand, but I am in a different boat. When i had my DD, I had hoped desperately for a son. My two SIL's then went on to both get a girl and then a boy in quick sucession, while my second child was a DD also. I felt so jealous, so envious and for years put off having another as I so desperately wanted a boy. Don't get me wrong, it took me some time, but i fell for my DDs hook, line and sinker and wouldn't trade them for anything. But i so wanted a son. I felt so cheated that others seemed to get this so easily.

5 years later we tried for another baby (DH not minding girl or boy, me fretting HUGELY about hoping for a boy) and with number three came our son...I am so glad he is here, he is my little boy i wanted for so long, and I am just as glad my girls came first as getting to know having daughters has been really amazing.

What i am trying to say is that i know how scary it is trying again. But you will be okay either way, really you will, because our own kids tend to have a way of making you fall for them even if the parcel we receive is not what we expected.  The way I got to trying for number three (or number two in your case) is knowing that I would always wonder if i didn't try again. And having, somewhere deep deep down inside, faith that if i did have another DD that i would have the love she needed to be raised healthy, happy and strong. I really hope this helps, even if just a little.

I am sorry about the stress of your sister ttc. I also felt that tug for a DD but was happy w/my guys...each time you try is a gamble its another boy/girl or the girl/boy you desire the only way is high tech and from what I have heard there is fails that way to. Your sis could also have another boy too...but if she was my sister she would be having a girl...Doh!

Yes I have a Baby Bear Girl but it doesnt mean I can't be on IG anymore or offer my support on the Gd board! Hmm
