That would be impossible for me since absolutely each and every friend I have that has children, has girls. :( I am not even kidding. My best friend has two girls, my other long-time friend has a girl, and every mom in my local playgroup has two girls each. There are no boys at all in my life other than my two boys. Our playgroup tried once to get another boy mom to j...

I shop for my boys' clothes at BabGap, Old Navy, Children's Place and occasionally Gymboree. I am very selective at Gymboree though because I also am not a fan of the regular old t-shirts that just have a picture of a truck or a dog slapped on the front. I do find lots of things I like at Janie and Jack, but it is somewhat pricey so I shop there very infrequently.

My son is almost 3. Since he was about 1 1/2 he has been part of a playgroup that was formed by a few moms in the Gymboree class we participated in. One mom in the group is my best friend and the other three moms we met in class. It just so happened at the time that I was the only one with a little boy that went to the first playgroup and our playgroup has remained that way ever ...

I feel the EXACT same way. I had difficulty choosing DS #1's name also and he wasn't named until the day before he was born but I'm also having a hard time referring to this baby as a he. I also have no desire to look at baby bedding or paint colors and choosing a name is the furthest thing from my mind. The worst part is I have a full wardrobe of practically brand new clothes fr...

I never asked what the heartrate was when I was pregnant with my first DS but during this pregnancy, I asked at every visit and every visit, the heartrate was different but always 140 or above and once it was as high as 160. Baby #2 is a boy. I also know a mom who asked her baby's heartrate at every prenatal visit (she didn't find out what she was having). Every visit she was tol...

I hear this all the time from my friends with girls. In fact, one of the moms in my son's playgroup that has two girls and was really hoping for a second girl when she was pregnant said this to me last week (she doesn't know yet that I am having another boy...I haven't told them that I know) and all I could do is roll my eyes. Does she, or anyone else, honestly think saying things like...

I know I haven't posted much here so far but a few weeks ago I found out that we are having DS #2. I am experiencing severe GD and part of that is because DH and I only planned on having two kids so I feel like the opportunity to ever have a daughter is gone. I think I could probably talk DH into conceiving a third child at some point, but I am having trouble coming to terms with that ...

I sure hope so because I am feeling really awful right now and my only hope is that this feeling will lessen once my second DS is here and the idea of our family with two boys is more of a normal reality for me. I couldn't bear feeling this bad for the rest of my life. :( Sorry to be such a downer...I'm having a bad day.

Julia:
I do not have any words of advice for you but I wanted to tell you that I am currently pregnant with boy #2 and although I am not having twins and did not encounter fertility issues, I could have written all of the rest of your post myself. I know exactly how you are feeling about the gender stereotypes and not feeling like a "boy mom." I also look at my almost three year...

Mariana....I'm sorry that you are dealing with the same thing I am dealing with.
I am back to tell you all that I just got back from the ultrasound and it does appear this baby is a boy. At first the cord was in the way but then the baby moved around and the tech was able to confirm it. I saw it too and though it wasn't glaringly obvious, I could see what she was pointing out ...

This is my first post on this board though I've been lurking her for some time. I started lurking when I was thinking about having baby #2 because my first child is a boy and I so desperately wanted my second child to be a girl since my husband and I both only want two children. I had every intention of doing my best to sway the odds when we tried to conceive number 2. Fate had o...
