My mom had me at 40 so you aren't crazy BUT you would need to want another child, not just a sister for your daughter.

I, too, love hearing "all boys, how fun!" Or something equally flattering. I always make it a point to say nice to moms with all 1 gender because they have likely heard enough negative comments. To the PP, my middle son is Tate (we debated about the i but ended up leaving it out) and I just adore that name!

I'm typically a really upfront and honest person but my personal opinion in this situation it is best to hold it in. I have a relative who wasn't shy about her GD and now whenever I see her I can't help but think about those days when she was so sad about her son and I EVEN have GD myself, I bet it is worse for people who don't know what it is like. So I fake it myself. Good luck!

I guess I'll put a different spin on things. For me, it is because my desired gender changed. I was on this forum years ago (different screenname because I can't remember what it was back then) because I wanted a baby boy so bad. I wanted to give my husband a son and I wanted a mommy's boy. I didn't find out the gender of my first child because I was so worried I would find...

My dad had 4 sisters (he actually had a brother -older- who lived until his school years and died suddenly) and then went on to have 4 daughters. He is now getting 'paid back' in grandsons (he has 5 out of 8 being boys, but 2/3 girls that were born were adopted!)

(I just lost a looong post so this will be much shorter) but I know there is a generalization that men want boys and women want girls. Does anyone else out there have a husband who suffers from significant GD? My dh was CRUSHED when we found out that our third was another boy. He dreams of holding a newborn bundle dressed in pink, seeing himself in a little lady and walking his d...

I know that there is a lot of generalization out there that men want boys and women want girls. I have 3 boys and will admit to GD but am not plagued by it (I'm one that wanted a boy first or maybe even second, but now want to get a chance at a girl!) but my DH really wants a girl! He wants to swaddle a newborn in pink, wants to see himself in a little lady and he w...

This is my first post (but I've been a lurker forever...) so I hope I do this right. I'm wondering if anyone else has gone from one gender preference to another? Most of the posts here say, "I've always wanted a little girl" or "I always knew I wanted to be the mom of a boy", etc. so I'm wondering if I'm an odd-ball. Because I'm pretty sure I jinxed myself. I always envisio...
