I don't think they feel superior but with the comments I get EVERY SINGLE TIME I leave my house - seriously EVERY TIME with 4 boys - "oh you poor thing" "God I'm so glad I have a girl" "that must be so hard" " I bet your house is never clean" "I can barely deal with having 1 boy, let alone 4"... there is certainly a lot of pity and just feelings of "glad it's not me!". It's annoying and I'm to the...

1 - not finding out the gender at the u/s was a GOOD thing. It was exciting to find out the gender at birth, regardless. It made my pregnancy so much more enjoyable to wonder instead of feel like the dream is over before the baby was even was born.
2- No matter what your pregnancy is like - basketball - watermelon, puking - not puking, beautiful - ugly, ec...

Sorry you didn't hear girl!! I would just not tell anyone, if they can't be happy then screw them, right? That's just the way I'm looking at it anymore!

We aren't finding out the gender but had we, we wouldn't tell any family! No one will be happy if it's a boy and if it's a girl they'll throw the boys we have to the backseat because they'll finally get a "girl" in the family. Either way is a no-win in my book. People, most of our family included, suck.
I wish I could tell you they'd be THRILLED after they seen the baby but our family wasn'...

That's how it was for me too, when we found out our 3rd was a boy we had family visiting so I had to hold myself together for a WEEK! It was hard, but after they left... the tears started. It took a few months for me to get used to the idea, starting on his room helped a lot. I just tried to avoid even thinking about a girl. And now I wouldn't trade him for any girl in the world! He's just so fun,...

I have three boys in a row, then a m/c, then this baby which we don't know the gender of yet.

This is a really good question and it actually brings some worries for me...
I have 2 sisters and 3 brothers, HOWEVER, my 2 sisters and 2 of my brothers are twice my age (from my dad's first marriage) so I was not raised with them, I maybe seen them once a year and even then they were old enough to be my parents so we didn't "hang out". (Only now am I "friends" with one of my sisters and we live ...

It is annoying, even if you google "perfect family" that's the pictures it brings up - mom/dad boy and girl. Not at ALL perfect in my eyes! I've never wanted the PP though, I've always wanted at least 2 of each gender but at this point if it's a girl after 3 boys then 3 boys and a girl will be perfect to me!!

I've cleaned out the boys old clothes & our baby stuff! Everyone is giving me crap about it because "if it's another boy" it would be such a waste to get rid of it. Well what they don't get is I NEED to get rid of it. I need to have to buy new stuff if this is another boy. I need something to look forward to and even if I have to buy blue, baby clothes shopping is enjoyable. I just c...

I've never understood this either! The one of a little girl is to be a little girl, why would anyone want to dress her up to look like a 16 yr old then parade her around with an overly sexual dance routine?! It's a pedophiles dream come true!!

No I don't think there is anything wrong with that! You basically have two options - adopt the gender you don't have or keep having kid after kid. Obviously having 10 kids trying for a boy (or girl, whichever) is pretty irresponsible (unless you want 10 kids) so I think adopting is great. That's our plan should this baby be boy #4! And no they will not discriminate against you because of your...

She asked what our oldest was (he wasn't there) and when I said boy she got this big smile and it was just kind of strange how excited she seemed about OUR ultrasound lol! All of the other techs we've had have been really... boring and just didn't seem to care about anything. The way she talked about the baby and acted really makes me wonder BUT I'm trying to remind myself that maybe she's...

We did NOT find out the gender of the baby, it was hard but I'm glad we decided to wait - sorta.
The tech was awesome, talked to us about our other kids and was just really friendly and outgoing. We were about 3/4 of the way done with the u/s and during it, as we talked about the baby I referred to it as "him" and she stopped and said, "why do you keep calling the baby a HE?"...

I understand what you're saying! I understand GD an wanting a specific gender but if you don't get that, well that's how it goes. I find it digusting when women who end up with all boys or all girls and think they are just useless little monsters. Or a mom who wants ONLY girls who acts like a boy is the most horrible thing in the world. That's terrible! GD sucks but your baby is your baby, love it...

But instead it made me feel a bit better...
Tonight we were at the store and we were walking down the isle and our youngest was in the cart and the older two were walking a few feet ahead of us. Right next to them was a mom with a little girl about the same age as our youngest, she was walking along with her mom just as cute as could be. I kind of gave my husband the "look" and he said, "ye...

I found out with all of mine and the last time (3rd time) it was really miserable for me. Kind of ruined the rest of my pregnancy. So this time we're going to wait till delivery. I think the waiting without the baby, just knowing it's a boy is what made it hard. If it's a boy but I have him here, it won't be as hard.

Sorry for your loss! I completely understand how you feel about the loss being your girl. I just can't shake the feeling that the baby I m/c was our girl... in the back of my mind I just wonder if maybe for some reason I can't carry girls?

Maybe he's trying to spare you from the disappointment now? My husband is a "must know" kind of guy, he can not take not knowing.. But this time around he has willingly agree'd not to find out. Simply because he knows that me knowing now is going pretty much ruin the rest of my pregnancy. As long as I don't know... hope is getting me through! Once the baby is born I know there will be a moment of ...

I would wait till at least 15/16 weeks to find out. The last thing you want is to be told girl and have it turn out a boy, that would be harder than just hearing boy from the start.
We're the only family on my DH's side without a boy and girl also, so we're kind of the weirdos. Everyone else has 2 kids - boy and girl. Hope you get your girl!

Congratulations! Glad you are feeling good about your 3rd boy! 3 boys are for sure something special, my 3rd little guy is just something else! Couldn't live without him. PGD isn't an option or us either (also financially & ethically) but we've decided that if this is a boy we'll adopt a girl after this. Gives me a little something to hold onto, you know?

I get that same crap all the time, except I have 3 boys. It's like people figure if you had a boy then didn't get a girl you should quit because I guess having more of the same gender is pointless?
I really honestly think it's the comments I get that make the GD worse, it's just constant, I can't go anywhere with the kids - especially now with 3 boys and one on the way without people saying some...
