Hiya you know since I found ingender I have noticed that soooo many people IRL have GD in some shape or form. I think it's natural because it makes us reproduce more than we would otherwise. I met my cousin today and she had girls halloween costumes with a football team logo her two girls. Her husband is football mad and is always trying to put jerseys on them, that's gender related! My other cousin just found out that he's having another girl and he is obviously disappointed, he won't say but he is planning his boys room in his house already. My friend is having her 4th and had a girl and two boys. Because she had the perfect pair first she never had to think about GD, but I strongly sense this time that she is hoping that it's another girl.
Two neighbours of mine are very open about it. One has two girls and desperately wants a boy and the other had two boys and told me openly that she cried when the 2nd was delivered. The latter has gone on to have a girl. I was shocked when she told me as I was pregnant at the time, but now I think she's great for being so honest.
My best friend has one of each. She always wanted a boy and said openly that she thought I would have one and she wouldn't and told me she was relieved when she did. I always wanted a girl and like you had two amazingly gorgeous boys, the opposite of what I wanted. I still want a girl, I would love a girl. I had no sisters and always wanted one. My best friend had 2 sisters and always wanted a brother. So maybe that's where it comes from. I always thought she was so lucky to have sisters and NEVER thought aw her poor mam having 3 girls. I did look at women with 3 boys and think that though (before I had any).
But you know what, great things come in 3s and I'm looking forward to meeting my 3rd little man if I'm lucky enough to get him. My mam said that there is no difference in how you love your kids regardless of their gender and I think that is why people with both sometimes don't understand GD. Cause once you have both you realise that you love them all the same.
I think 3 girls is fantastic, you're very lucky. My friend's family are so close. Mine are too but the three girls and her mam and dad are always together. The girls are best friends and they're gorgeous. I know people look at her mam and dad with envy that they have such a beautiful close family. Make that your focus!! Also if this is your last baby relish having a new one in the house. Cause babies all look the same, bald, toothless, and utterly adorable.
Mammy to a beautiful
