I have four boys that range in age from 5 months to almost 15. Life is good with my boys! I still want a girl, but I'm not as passionate about it as before. For me, pregnancy makes me crazy and I start obsessing about a girl since people don't leave me alone about whats in my tummy.
You'll be fine. You'll probably get a girl, but even if you don't you will love your child for their character not...

Do you know what I hate most? Its when people say negative stuff about me having four boys in front of my boys!
I can't believe the nerve of people. One time, my 5 year old angel caught onto it and when we got in the van, he said, "don't worry mommy, one day you'll have a girl". He was saying it as if he wasn't good enough. Its heartbreaking. I don't even say anything about wanting a girl i...

Yes, thats the way it was with me too. I think one reason for that is that there was so much external pressure from other people to have a girl the third time around. No one really cared to much the second time. I notice women who have either two girls or two boys, don't get as much grief as us third and fourth time with the same gender.
Its also very hard to be listening to other people's stupi...

Thank you all!
I'm going to try to be on here a little more often because I feel that I can help others to rise above and to also still find support from my In Gender sisters when I need it.

I am just taking a couple minutes to let other ladies know that you have a good chance of rising above. I had posted some pretty bleak, dark, posts on here when I was pregnant with #4, posts that caused some people to be really upset.
I don't come on here a lot any more because I'm too madly in LOVE with my new baby and enjoying him so much. I would like to have a girl, but its not at the top of...

I already have a girl, so I should have been thrilled but I really wanted another. I don't feel like I know anything about boys, while I feel very qualified to handle girls. Every tells me how crazy boys are and how hard they are to potty train. What will I ever find to talk to a teenage son about?
I may consider adoption or high tech if in the ...

Just tell everyone you're a gestational surrogate .... then after all the hoopla dies down and you end up keeping the baby, everyone will be glad

No, it seems weird. I wish I had longer eyelashes. I see these girls, usually younger, teens, early 20's with these long dark eyelashes! How in the world do they get them like that? Are they fake? I wish I could find a picture to show what I'm talking about.

If you recently moved into your home, you may be getting the last people's mail. I know I did. I got magazines I had no interest in like L.L. Bean.

You're right. My youngest son gets noticed a lot because of his cute attitude vs the clothes he's wearing. He talks up a storm to people about this and that and people find that cute.

Woohoo!!! Now she'll realize that boys are really sweet! As a mom of three boys, 2 that are 7 and 5, I can honestly say they are really cool! They cuddle me and love me! She will realize this in time as long as she treats him well, that is. [DS]

The doctor suggested that last week and then at this weeks appointment said nothing. I'm hoping they do that, if not I will ask. I have one last appointment on Tuesday. I think that would be the best if they started on their own. I'm 2cm as of yesterday but I'm not very much effaced.
I will be sure to post the pictures and birth story. I'm so nervous. Its wierd being that this is my fourt...

They want to induce because they're scared I'll have the baby in the car on the way to the hospital since my other labors were so quick. Also, I'm + for strep b and they want to have a chance to give me antibiotics.

I can honestly say I'm excited to meet baby Jacob. The hormones have settled down and I just don't have that "care" about the gender that I had in the beginning. Maybe that will help some that wonder if it will get better. I do want a girl, but I'm not dissappointed in this baby. kwim?
Anyway I am nervous but not for the reason everyone may think I'd be nervous. This is my fourth baby and t...

Starlight, I'm the same age as you. My baby is due very soon and I won't be able to cycle until next year at the earliest. My DH keeps saying how HT is really made for older women and not to worry about it but I still worry. I feel like maybe I should try ...

I'll be your friend!! We all have GD in different forms. We all had our own thoughts of what our perfect family would have been. If I'm actually honest with myself, I had really thought for sure my second would be a girl. I thought of dressing alike, naming her Emily, buying pink. When I found out he was a he, I didn't let myself feel disappointed, I just bit my tongue and held my thoughts in. I w...

Thank you ladies. I know I can come here when I need an online hug! [love]
I was just so suprised at how people were reacting. I thought I had it pretty good since no one really said anything until recently. My oldest is 14 so I don't think of him as a little boy anymore. He is a young adult. My other two usually go everywhere with me when they aren't in school and since they're off on Chris...

I had to edit my post before because I posted too quick so I didn't finish all my thoughts. I'm just kind of sad when people say this stuff. It really sets off my GD again. Maybe its because I'm big and its so obvious now. When I'm out with my two little ones I hear it, Oh, another boy? I just don't understand what people have against baby boys. Would they really say that if it were my fourt...

I haven't gotten that many bad comments about my fourth boy, but lately I have. I get Oh...wow, four boys, or thats your fourth boy!!?
Its starting to get me down. I had an ultrasound today for baby's heart because they had heard an irregular beat before. The lady said, this is your fourth boy?! So I called her on it and said, "I seem to be getting a lot of that lately". She said she would have s...

Well, I will tell you what I personally would do if it were me, but feel free to dismiss my opinion if it doesn't feel right to you.
I would carry full term if possible and have them do the surgery at birth (again, if possible). Surgeons can do amazing things now and I would put all my hopes and dreams upon that. Having the po...

Thats such a crappy comment, though! I know you don't think it, but I just have to point out how sterotypical it is.
