I already suspected to be honest. I took it really well - much better than I did with DS2 - and I've actually had almost no GD this time. Yes, I'm disappointed I'm not getting my little Daisy THIS time but I've decided that it's not going to decide my happiness - getting a daughter or not - as I've no control over it. PGD is not an option financially and probably ethically as well, I'll sway next time but it's still not a guarantee. And I'm actually genuinely happy about my third little boy on the way. I think my family is pretty freakin awesome especially as it quite unique!

I know this probably belongs on the Rising Above board but I just wanted to share that sometimes happiness can just be a case of making the best of what you have.

 

Love my babies

I am the mother of three boys ( then had a girl) and I can tell you i love it. Although I love all my kids equally there is just something about my third baby boy. He is just a mush! Congrats and look forward to a lot of fun times ahead!

I believe this, too, making the best of what you have, because you can't control it or change it. Congratulations on your Baby Bear Boy!!

Congratulations! Glad you are feeling good about your 3rd boy! 3 boys are for sure something special, my 3rd little guy is just something else! Couldn't live without him. PGD isn't an option or us either (also financially & ethically) but we've decided that if this is a boy we'll adopt a girl after this. Gives me a little something to hold onto, you know?

Congrats!! We are expecting baby boy #3 also.  We swayed for a girl....but God had other plans for our familyHappy Wink.  I am happy about our new little guy also.  I only had like 2 days (after ultrasound) of GD which surprised me also.  I had it with ds2 and it ruined my pregnancy for me.  I prayed for months before ttc that if we conceived boy #3 that I would not have GD and could enjoy my pregnancy as it may be my last.  I believe in making the best of what we have alsoHappy  LOL

Thanks guys. I'm feeling very positive about things about excited for him. He looks so cute too! I would love to have a girl in the future of course, don't get me wrong, but it's outwith my control. I mean even if I really swayed as best as I can (I have hypoglycemia so I'm not even sure the diet is an option for me, unless I want to hospitalise myself) then it's not a guarantee. I just had this moment of enlightenment after leaving the scan where I thought NO, this will not decide my happiness, I'm not going to put my happiness on hold until (IF!) I get a DD. I don't want to waste the bestest baby bits of my boys' lives wishing they were someone or something other than the amazing little people they are.

I'm thinking of calling him Carter. What do you guys think?

Love my babies

Thanks ladies and congrats on all your little bundles too (those that are still expecting)!

I was thinking of the name Carter Boston Trench (and our second name). Is it too out there? He'd only be called by Carter though.

Love my babies

Hey, Waiting!  Just wanted to say I admire your attitude and am trying my best to imitate it!  As you know, I took the news of DS3 really hard this w/e, which I hadn't done with DS1 or 2 at all.  I guess my age is the main reason this time around is so hard for me -- I am turning 39 soon and doubt I will have anymore kids.  But I hardly cried at all today, so maybe I am adjusting.  The truth is, my newest little one looks absolutely gorgeous in his u/s pic, just like his older brothers, so what am I crying about?  

Thanks for inspiring me!

Aw hun don't worry, I really thought I'd be a wreck this time round, I didn't even know what GD was until I broke down after hearing boy for the second time! There is nothing to be ashamed of in how you reacted at all and I hope my post didn't make you feel bad at all because that definitely wasn't intentional. I guess this time I'm forcing myself to be 'ok' with this all and the more I only focus on the good things about having three sons, the more it starts to feel like a huge blessing. I'm also only 24 (almost 25) so I know that time is on my side should I want more children. I think if you think high tech is the way to go, do it. Only you can make the decision about waht you are willing to do or not do to get that daughter. Maybe wait and see how you feel after this little guy is born and see then. Take your time to feel ok about everything. I think your little boys sound the sweetest things ever and I know this little dude will melt your heart. We know that GD isn't about crying over that beautiful healthy little boy or girl in our tummy, it's about crying over the dream that will never be.

We can get through this together hun. I am here for you whenever you just want to rant or be pissed off at the world. You have absolutely the right to do those things. When that little boy is handed to you, you are going to love him and we both know that. There is no shame in what you have to go through to get there. Have you got any name thoughts for your little man?

Love my babies

You are too sweet!  No, your post didn't make me feel bad.  It was more like I want to adopt your attitude and I am really, really trying to do it.  Thanks for being there.  I really do appreciate it.

 No names yet, really.  I had a hard time picking names for DS1 and 2, and I don't really have any favorites stocked up.  I'll keep you posted!

BTW, love your choice for a name.  So cute.

Congrats, Waiting4Daisy - i think I remember you from your earlier screen name! I was really hoping you'd get a girl but I am really happy to hear your attitude.  We 3 boy moms need to stick together - it's a great life, it really is, and there are many times, even though my baby is only 6 months old, that I think it's the best choice for this family.  I think the girl would have been for me, but a baby brother was the right thing for my sons.. They adore him and he adores them.  He crawls/scooches across the floor constantly to join in their games, he babbles and smiles at them, and in the early hours of the morning, one of the twins will always say, 'ooh mommy I hear baby bruttha crying. can I go into his cot?" and when I walk in there, all 3 of them are all in the cot together cuddling up... Sure they might do this with a girl, but it's very sweet to see the 3 boys.

Another thing that has helped me feel better - babies require huge amounts of time and attention (duh.) In a way, having this be a baby boy eases my guilt, as I fear that IF it had been a girl, my boys might have gotten the wrong idea... ie, mommy is spending all of her time wtih the new baby and buying it all new dresses and pretty things because it's a girl and is more special than us.  So strangely enough, I have less guilt fussing and loving over a new baby boy than a baby girl. (if that makes sense...) I bought this baby LOADS of new clothes but every once in a while, dress him in something his brothers wore, and that pleases them to no end, especially if I go through the photos and find pictures of them as babies so they can see themselves in the same outfit!

At any rate, congratulations, and really hope you enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. My GD peaked right before the birth, and I think it was mixed in with the hormones and the anxiety about the reality of bringing home another baby and how one earth would I manage, but I have to say the transition from 2 to 3 was smooth... I just had so much more confidence and was SO much more relaxed - even strangers would come up to me in the shops and tell me I was such a natural and so relaxed and that baby was the happiest most contented baby they'd ever seen.....

good luck with everything!

Thanks love2run, I used to be Baby_Maker and I always loved your posts! I think in a way it will be the right thing for our family too. I hope to try again in a few years - for a boy or girl! - as I've always wanted a big family but this way my little guys will all have each other and I think that is awesomely special. I think I will buy lots of little bits for this wee guy, he doesn't need the stuff but I'd love to have him a few special things.

I'm glad to hear about the 2 to 3 transition too - sometimes I do find myself panicking! I'm just so looking forward to those newborn snuggles again plus my two boys are stunningly gorgeous and I'm sure this little butter bean will be cute as anything too. Glad you are enjoying life with your boys - I'm so jealous of your twin boys btw, that's like my dream! (MAYBE NEXT TIME!!!)

Love my babies
