Aussie Newbie

Hi,

I'm new here and thought I should introudce myself. I am praying and wishing for a girl with all my might after having 2 boys already. I joined after seeing the documentry 8 Boys and Wanting a Girl. Michelle's story really spoke to me, and I hope she is out there somewhere. I do think of her and the other mothers from time to time and wonder how they are going.

 The biggest hurdle I am facing (besides the swaying) is to convince DH to have a vasectomy reversal. He is undecied at the moment so I'm hoping to get my answer soon. I will have to try and sway naturally as PGD is illegal in Australia and we can't really afford to go overseas. I am so hoping that the decision is overturned. There are some days that I feel so helpless. Not just not from not having a girl but wanting to have another baby. I'm really hoping DH decides to have the reversal.

I don't remember being this upset that DS1 was a boy. I was happy, I wanted to have a boy first. GD didn't hit me until a close friend of had a baby girl and all the feelings of wanting a girl surfaced. When I fell pregnant with DS2, I prayed with all my might that he was a girl. I had such overwhelming feelings of sadness and guilt when I saw his scan.

 Thanks so much for reading my story and look forward to reading all your stories on the forums

Hi! I'm from QLD myself, I also have two boys and desperately want a girl. Best of luck to you, I'm sure you DH will agree soon enough.

 Thanks I'm from WA. Sending you lots of pink dust your way

There are so many Aussies on this site now, it's great to see! I also have 2 boys and am going to try to sway for a girl this year. I adore my boys and wouldn't swap them for all the girls in the world, but whenever another friend has another baby girl, I do feel pangs of jealousy. It doesn't help that people make you feel like you're unlucky to have two boys. When DS2 was born, a lot of people said things like 'Oh no, not another boy', and made all sorts of pitying comments. it makes me angry. At least my boys are happy and healthy and I have a beautiful family. I think little boys are just divine. What upsets me about having all boys, is where I'll be in 10, 20, even 30 years time, with no daughter. My mum is my best friend and I want that relationship with a daughter. Let's face it, no one has the same relationship with their MIL as they do with their mother, and I want a daughter, not a daughter-in-law. I don't want to be surrounded by footy and smelly feet and sports on TV and be the odd one out. I want a girly ally. Plus I would just like that balance in my family so it is not all male energy and testosterone! My view on swaying, is that I will try my best to sway pink, but if we try our hardest and still get a boy, well, we were really meant to have that little boy! Little boys are just so gorgeous and squishy and cuddly. I truly hope your DH does decide to have the reversal. It must be heartbreaking for you to have a yearning for another baby and have this hurdle in front of you. GL with it all, and welcome to in gender, xx

Thanks Skyla D. It is very frustrating waiting for confirmation from DH about the reversal. I'm really hoping he'll say yes. I hate that having another baby is so out of my hands. Your post reminds me so much of me. I love my boys to pieces but just wish that my life for the next 15 or so years won't be just filled with footy, Spiderman and all things boy. Wishing you the best of luck with your sway!

Hi Swayingforaprincess, I too am an aussie and just joined this site.  I have 2 boys and would like to ttc a girl 2013/2014 also.  I hope your DH confirms that he is willing to have his reversal and then maybe we can learn all the tips on what we need to do for our sways together. Anyway best of luck!!
