Even though I dreaded having three girls, I agree with pp that now I am SO proud to say "I have three daughters!" I don't even have to pretend to be proud and I happy, I just am : )
I guess the biggest difference in going from 2 to 3 is that now I am satisfied, and don't feel like anyone, irrespective of gender, is missing from our family.

In my experience people put all the pressure on you to have that boy *while you're pregnant* but once she's here they get amnesia about it, and will instead focus on how cute the girls are together and how *lucky* you are. It's like 'what's done is done' that kind of thing. And in my experience the same people who wanted you to have a boy will go hog wild buying clothes and hair clips for your gir...

I agree with everyone who says the ultrasound is the low point, and it will slowly get better from here. I'm sorry you're going through GD; I wouldn't wish it on anyone. You WILL adore DS3 when he gets here, and it IS very special having three of a kind.

she thought she'd go for the girl just one more time after her DS3 and ended up with.... twin boys.

this exact thing happened to my cousin. the first time I saw her twin boys she said in passing, 'yeah, these were supposed to be my girl' it's like after three of the same you don't think it can happen again, but it sure does

I had GD with all three. From before we conceived #1 both our families were hoping for a boy. When I found out at the ultrasound that I was carrying girl #3, I felt fury more than the disappointment/sadness/weepiness I'd had with the first 2. I don't know why DH understands me so well, but the first thing he said to me in private after we found out was "Now don't be angry, okay?" Because I re...

What she said is horrible and totally UNtrue. I also work with small children (3-9) and have known many teachers over the years. The biggest difference between me as a young teacher with no kids of my own, and me as a mother/teacher, is that I have far less energy to give my students than I did before, and I sick of them (LOL sorry!!!) a lot sooner. Poo on that woman; she sounds defensive and inse...

Ooooh, I would be over the moon to be in your shoes! Still, your feelings are totally valid and I'm sorry you're struggling. Hopefully you'll get a happy surprise at your next scan, but even if you have to work through GD, just know it's not the end of the world and there IS light at the end of tunnel. Just hang on until you find out for sure!

U2 in 1992 in a football statium. Bono filled the whole place with his sexual energy--and he also called the White House from onstage. It was genius and so, so sexy.

Sometimes there's SUCH a heavy burden on mom's of girls, because it seems like they need you ALL the time. And they do lol. Sometimes I think to myself "I hate being a mother" and in the moment I truly mean it, even though I love my girls.
You're doing the right thing by being honest. I do have to say, though, that what you give to your girls they give back many times over; I'm seeing this with ...

I know this probably doesn't help at all, but I am someone who didn't plan their family AT ALL and never had an abortion, and I still never got that boy that would make dh and his family so happy. There's no right or wrong way to plan your family. You deserve to get your heart's desire period, please don't beat yourself up about your past. Bucketloads of pink dust sweetie [hearts]

All three of my DDs were GD babies [:(] since I was hoping for a boy from the get-go.
With each girl my GD recovery was easier. I know you will be OK ((hugs))

Once in a blue moon DH likes to remind me how as he was holding out his hands ready to catch DD3, I pooped right onto them (he was wearing gloves though!) And I'm like, 'come on, honey, I had other things on my mind!!!'

I cannot believe this has happened to you, and you in no way caused this tragedy! Praying for you and your lovely boys.

Thanks a lot! This is her first pg and will most likely be her only pg (as she is 42) and I just want everything to go smoothly for her.
Congratulations on your twins, ladies [hearts]

My lovely aunt is pregnant with twins and she just found out! This is her first pg and we are all so excited for her. I already told her of my favorite pregnancy books (Birthing from Within and Hypnobirthing) but I wondered if there are some that are twin-specific that you would recommend for her? Or good websites? (other than IG lol). TIA

Her DH and my DH have been friends since college, and our kids are the same age. I like the idea of explaining to her that our neice needs the stuff more, but this lady is going to DRIVE to my house this week and expect me to give her stuff.
Since writing it all out, I think I realized something: she's willing to spend money if it's for show (for example they drive a big old BMW) but if it's n...

I have a friend who is due with her third in July. She has a BG pp (has always liked to rub that in btw!) and hasn't told me the gender whatever.
She and her hubby are RICH. They have lots of money, own five businesses, etc. So she calls DH tonight and says "what kinda baby stuff can you give me?" (she had mentioned to him a few weeks ago that she wanted our old baby stuff). He told her we've go...

When DD3 watches me pee on the potty she says, "Mommy I am SO proud of you!"

Trim the stems under water and they will last much longer. Also those little packets of powder from florists help.

I remember the first time I ever said "I have three daughters" and felt proud of the fact. I think DD3 was about 1. By then I realized that my family make-up is FUN and really special. The first time I saw the three of them holding hands and walking together (DD3 just learning to walk) I got really emotional thinking this is the perfect family for me. But my GD at the beginning of DD3's pg ha...
