[Y]I have them when I see all of the boys (including dad) goofing off together. Or when somebody says/does something funny when we're all together and we end up giggling. It all feels right.

Just in case you didn't read this on my other post... Go check out "goforette's" posts. It may change the way you are feeling.http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/p/69180/627388.aspx#627388

So sad...There is also another former poster on here... goforette. You should go back and read her GD journey. I think it will help with gaining new perspective as well. She had GD with her 1st pregnancy (BOY). Well, Noah almost died at birth. We all prayed so hard for him. He pulled through but does have some special needs issues now. But I read her...

I miss you tons, kristindoggirl. [U] I wish that you were back here more, but I can see with the sway-bashing how it would be hard. I can only assume that you're fed up and that's why we don't see you anymore. Maybe I'm wrong.Like I have said before in another post, this is such a "no win" topic. Always heated and always divided. We will always have the women wh...

Help! Can you send the link? The only thing that comes up for me is an "expired" coupon. I really need new running shoes!!

This is as far as I made it into your post. As a momma of 3, and just having moved 2 states away (19 1/2 hours car trip with even a 14 year-old girl along to help)... just making a one-way trip with a nursing baby and a 3 year-old (and 6 year-old)... Well, I didn't even need to read the rest. You said it all.

I don't think anyone here thinks it's weird or rude to just do "girly" or "boyish" events. It's fine. That's not the real issue here. I've kind of been following along with Smommy's "weird trip" with these "so-called" friends and this seems like passive aggressive behavior on their part, IMO. And obviously if one of these women knows about IG, has an account, logs on ...

One of these ladies checks IG frequently so I wouldn't be suprised if she saw this but I don't give a rats ass anymore.

My husband is a fighter pilot and we have 2 boys, one conceived with egs for a girl. However, all our other pilot friends do seem to have girls and want to know how we got boys

Same here, except we have 3. LOL! We're definitely the minority, huh?!?!

Well.
If your wife is ADAMANT about no more children PERIOD and won't even discuss it... Then it seems the only thing to do for the next 9-10 years is to accept things as they are until your daughters are grown and out of the house. At which time you can then re-evaluate the next chapter of your life.
At least you have IG as a safe and understanding place to come and...

My family doesn't really feel "incomplete" because I don't buy into that whole theory of needing someone to make me feel "complete." My personal opinion is that children should "complement" us, not "complete" us. But that is my take on it, and I know that others don't feel the same. For me, a daughter would have been lovely, but it didn't happen and I have accepted it. I do...

I can understand those feeling. Before I had children, I remember telling my husband that I thought BF was DISGUSTING (girl or boy) and no way was I going to do it. My mom didn't and I didn't need to either!
LOL... I actually went back to school when pregnant with DS2 to become a lactation consultant.
One of the topics in my class was actually about how often times, women...

And yes, I think it would help you bond. The physiology of BF involves oxytocin which is that "mothering hormone" that releases those feelings of love and cuddling. Give it a try! You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

None of my babies had any sort of sleep pattern by 6 weeks. Not even close. Plus, at 6 weeks they typically go through a growth spurt so they are ALL OVER THE PLACE! It wasn't until they were probably at least 4 months old that they could "maybe" sleep for a 4 hour block... Sometimes... If the stars were aligned.
It could be her reflux. Is...

Or the pot stirrers ( I can think of two) they have girls and love to write posts asking questions like "If you could choose only one gender which would it be?' . Knowing that most women on Ig would say girl when they have several boys at home.
