I think it's just because of how much water you've had, not the sex of your baby!!!
Oh and yes, vitamins can make them very bright yellow!!

I agree with what Canadian said, maybe counselling will help? You cannot help how you feel, but by writing it down and talking about it will surely help you come to terms with your second little girl.
So sorry you're sad, I hope you try to find someone in real life to talk this over with....good luck.

Just wanted to say to southernwife your picture is so beautiful, I have many of those pictures of when my boys were smaller.....they are 8 & 7 now, already I look back and I am so sad those days are gone.
I too agree boys are so wonderful, we forget sometimes don't we? My boys are very easy, I don't understand why people say they are so hard!!!

I'm with Wating for Daisy on this one, I've never bought a book that tells me how to parent children, that's my job, not someone who is out to make money selling their version of the 'best' way to parent.
Your kids are individuals, not robots. I hate stereotypes.

Hi there,
My husband is not a 'manly' man either! He's very sensitive, loves music, hiking and being outdoors! My oldest son is not your typical 'boy' either, he loved puzzles and reading as a very small boy (never into trucks or cars etc.) and is very gentle. One of his friend's mothers loves having him over because he's so quiet! His teacher this year wants him in her cl...

My first was a long labour, my second was very fast and easy.
Not really true for me.

Whoa, little bit of bitterness on this thread I see.[
Anyway, OP, I wish you all the best! You are not too old at all - my parents were older too as my father was a doctor and then got shipped off in the army so my parents did not start their family until they were about 30. - but that was also 'normal' in my parents circle too. You're a youth compared to some women I know ...

Hi there -
Just wanted to say that most of the mothers I am friends did not become mothers until in our 30's - most of us are educated and had our kids after working and saving! I don't think 36 is old at all, my girlfriend just had her second at 36 and both are doing well. It's almost the norm in my circle to wait - kind of a socioeconomic thing I guess!
Anyway, I kin...

My son and daughter are two years, six days apart, and they play all the time - and they play very well together. Not sure why your daughter is going to hate you......I'm sure she probably does not care!!!
Boys are so easy, you will be amazed.

Hi Smout - cute doggy picture by the way - I'm in love! I too am in Canada - on the west coast. Anyway, I just wanted to say, and maybe it's no consolation, but there is a family at my kid's school and they have three girls and they are wonderful, beautiful little gals!!! The oldest one is so helpful with her younger sisters, it's beautiful to watch!
I know you are h...

Oh and I had to laugh at the baby disappointed that Snookie is it's mother!! Who cares about her? Isn't she the one who was falling over drunk vomiting everywhere on TV? Ugh.......

Whoa, boy would I get it from your doctor/friends etc.! I breastfed my last until her fourth birthday, and even then my doctor told me to not stop and told me to tell my husband to butt out! I don't tell too many people that, mostly other mothers like you guys who understand! I hate people who feel the need to tell you when 'you' should stop breastfeeding, as if it's any of their...

No, newbaby, I did not mean she's 'older' at 31! That's young!!! What I meant was these ladies had their tubes tied whilst young, but as they got older (into their 40's) the periods got really, intensely bad!!! So they had the surgery while they were young, and had no troubles, but as they got older the problems started.
It's something I would never consider, as ...

Hi Puppydog,
Sorry you're having to do something so drastic, but please do your research first! My friend and I were just discussing this last night, and I know so many older women who have gone through hell (especially as you enter your 40's) with horrible periods. My sister in law had to have her uterus 'burned' because she was bleeding so heavily during her mid-forties. ...

I think if any God determined this, surely he would take into account all the babies in India and China that get aborted because their parents did not want them because they were not the 'miracle' gender? Sorry, it sounds really farfetched to me. But maybe they just don't deserve what they want? Come on!!! Only nature can decide this.
Nature will determine which gender we ...

If you lived near me, I'd give you a baby shower!!! A huge one!! How awful for you - don't listen to that crap, they are idiots, especially the one that doesn't buy her boys nice stuff. What crap to listen to.
Every baby is wonderful, whether it's your first or tenth.
You need to find new friends!!! Good luck!!

I have also heard that 20 weeks is much more accurate than when you are farther along. I would post it on the ultrasound board, I sure hope your little boy is still a little boy!!!!

That is sad about your neighbours, hope they are not too close to you, they sound ummm, irresponsible (I'm being nice).....
Congrats again, glad your son has a new friend to play with - I'm so jealous as we lost one of our cats on Boxing Day.....my husband won't let us get another one until my Cloudy goes (hopefully not soon but she's 16!).
Enjoy your little fuzzy blue bundle and good luck ...

So cute!!!! Congratulations on your new addition - but what a sad story! What kind of dog killed this kittent's mother? Yikes!
But good for your son! Good luck, he's very very cute!!

Yay! Congratulations!!! Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy! Listen, my midwife told me in 25 years practicing she'd never had a patient told the wroing sex!
Enjoy every moment!!!

I don't think it makes one bit of difference, not one. If it did, wouldn't certain cultures be doing it in order to avoid aborting the undesired sex? No, I don't think it makes any difference whatsoever, nature determines what we get, it's a moment in time that we, as humans, think we can control.
I think it's money grabbing from vulnerable people, at best.

Very well put, and puts many things in our lives into perspective! Sometimes we need to be thankful for what we have, not what we think we should have.
Once again, very well said newbaby, how gutwrenching that must have been - don't think many of us can even begin to fathom.
Your little boy is going to be one lucky guy, all those wonderful big sisters!

Hi there dia! I got pregnant when my second was 16 months old, and we were in the midst of getting him started with an autism diagnosis. We did not want three kids!!! I too wanted my husband to get a vasectomy (he still hasn't), but it was not to be, but a third pregnancy was. Anyway, I had a termination all set up, bought the pills in order to have the termination and the ...

Oh, I could not read and run. I just wanted to give you a big, huge mommy hug. When I am down I try to remember something my dad used to say, and it really is true, as I think you're probably going through the worst of your disappointment now - my dad (who is gone now, sob sob) used to say "it's always darkest before the dawn". It's been true for me, over and over and over.
Big ...
