I am literally the only person who is not having the opposite gender.

It is really hard to get over GD when everywhere you turn someone who has a DD is now pregnant with a DS and vice versa. I am not exaggerating. I have four friends who are all pregnant with the opposite gender and three coworkers. It is just making my GD worse.

Because it's on ur radar- it will feel like that. There are many ppl who have BBG or gGb just look harder. Sorry u feel this way

I thought that when i was having my second dd, but now i have my girls i think i was soooo lucky as they get on soooooo well and their relationship is so sweet and they share everything, it is a blessing...trust me.

  I'm sorry you feel so bad. I'm hoping to find out that my little bean is a girl in a couple weeks, although I'm thinking it's another boy for us (#3). Everywhere I look, all I see are little girls, and it's driving me nuts. I feel like other people are so lucky to have daughters to raise, and I don't (even though that might not be the case - maybe they wanted boys and got girls - who knows). I just feel.... ripped off. 

Anyway, I understand what you're saying. It's really hard when it seems like everyone else has something that you want desperately. :( Hang in there. *hugs*

I always wanted boys, so didnt want to look like my post was gloating x

True. I agree it's annoying anyhow when it seems everyone around is currently ending up with the family of your dreams. I feel "ripped off" too to not be able to raise a DD, although I am very thankful to have no fertility problems and for my sweet DS and DS to come.

What I did was I made a list of everyone I know who has all boys, even celebrities, and it was longer than I thought! Some on that list are probably hally with all boys and some maybe had/have GD.

I just posted too because I found out that yet another person is expecting their DD after two DS.. this is atleast the 4th one this month. I don't understand. I posted wondering if it was because we swayed that we aren't having a gender opposite. None of these people swayed. I just don't get it.. I am so grateful we are having what seems to be another healthy baby.. but I am really just bummed out and kind of in a state of "how come not us". It makes me so sad to think we will never experience having a daughter. I am so nervous to push DH into #4, it makes him so anxious to think about having 4 kids and then what if it's a fourth boy... then will I still feel the void I am feeling now?

i had 7 girls in a row before i finally got pregnant with a boy! how many have 7 of the same gender?

I find myself keeping score every day - how many have all boys, and how many have mixed and how many have my dream family of all girls. So far, the "winners" (all girls and some of each) FAR outweigh the "losers" like me. I know this a) sounds awful and b) is far from scientific, but it is hard to take. It seems like almost everyone has at least one girl - except me... I'm just glad at least one of the other preggers at work is Team Green. Sure, she'll have a girl, and so will the other chick, but at least I don't have to hear about hers before it arrives.

I am right there with you.  I was thinking the other day of all my friends, coworkers and family members who have had one of each and I was up past 25 couples, only 5 for having 2 of same gender.  I think I would not feel so down right now if I was not told girl at 18 weeks and given the chance to go shopping and create my expectation of a little girl.  I always thought it was a little girl from the beginning of my pregnancy but they said at my 20 week U/s that it is definately a boy.  I will love my son no matter what, but after being told a girl then having it taken back has been a true disappointment. 

If this pic posts right this was my "girl shot"

 I feel that way too.  I was talking to some of my parents' neighbors the other day and one of them mentioned that another neighbor's daughter-in-law just had a boy (she already had a girl) and I couldn't take it and said in front of everyone "How come everyone else gets a variety?!"

The other thing that drives me crazy is I feel that everyone who has two boys has a girl next.  I know, I'm not even pg with #3 yet but I just know I'll be the exception to that.

Lol, very true! Although I do know someone that has 8 daughters (and two sons).  But yes, definitely rare.

This is happening to me too. I just posted this as well. My friend just found out she's getting her DG (girl) and now will have one of each. Also everyone I know has one of each. I seem to be the only one w kids of a single gender

I feel like I see the opposite, I know alot of people that have 2 of the same gender or 3 of the same gender.  Although I was happy with boy or girl 2nd time around, I've gotten some comments from some of my family members like, "Awww, your poor daughter doesn't get a sister."  And my grandma outright said (right when I announced boy back in December) - "I just KNEW it was a boy.  I was hoping for another girl."  WTH people - especially my grandma?  It makes me feel horrible for my son and makes me feel like they don't want a grandson.  I hate the thought of any bad feelings towards my kids!

UGH, maybe because I'm hormonal and 2 weeks away from my due date but why do people give a shit about other's family makeup?  Why do they need to comment? 

Anyways, I sometimes feel like I'm the only person not having the same gender thanks to my family members comments.
