Yeah, I don't see having granddaughters making up for not having daughters. I know it's weird, but I do often wonder if I would be envious or resentful if my future dil's have daughters. I also think I would rather they had sons so I could relate better and have something in common. Although, it is hard to know how I'd feel, maybe I would love it and it would be very healing. My paternal gra...

Oh and I was really praying DS2 would come out looking totally
different then DS1 for the exact same reasons. Well he came out looking
exactly like DS1 of course but it was ok. Over time they look somewhat
alike but also have their own look and I have found it to be quite
fascinating comapring their similarities and differences. My DS2 was the 4th boy in my family (all boys) I thoug...

I can relate to some of how you are feeling. Don't worry once the baby
is born you will start to see that he is a whole new person with his own
personality and he is separate from your DS1. He will most likely be a
totally new experience, not just a repeat, I felt the same way but turns
out my DS2 and DS1 are night and day. It is also fun to watch the
dynamic between brothers for ...

Big (((Hugs))), sounds like you are dealing with a lot of heartache right now. GD always seems to intensify when other things in life are just not going as planned. I found my GD really lessened as my baby got older and things got a little easier. My DS2 is turning one soon and I no longer look at him as the baby boy that wasn't my baby girl but he is just now another one of my kids. It stil...

Check and see if you have a pediatric therapy center near you. They usually offer speech, occupational, physical therapy etc. We took our DS directly to one where an occupational therapist did an evaluation on him and diagnosed his sensory issues, he then started to receive therapy 1X a week there. Our insurance fortunately covered the services at the time but you should probably check with ...

so sorry you are hurting. I also desperately wanted a PP but got 2 boys instead. I did feel bonded with my DS2 right away but still there was not a second that went by day or night that I was not thinking obsessing over the fact he was a boy and not the girl I had dreamed of. The newborn days are so hard and I can't imagine dealing with the pain of your traumatic delivery as well. I think it...

[Y] I've never found these sayings offensive, I think they are cute too. I think GD really clouds our perceptions sometimes. When I just had DS1 people would comment that he was "all boy" and I would laughingly agree and beam with pride, but when I had DS2 and was experiencing GD this phrase would really make me cringe. Same words but different perception. I have a friend with 3 girls ...

I have a cute little daytimer/appointment planner book and every day I just jot down a little tidbit about what we did that day or some cute little thing one of the kids/said or did. It also helps me to remember any milestones/stories I want to add to the baby book when I have time. It is really fun to look back a year on that day and just see what you were doing and totally helps jog your m...

I prayed my DS2 would look different then DS1. I was just so depressed at the thought that not only was it "another boy" but if he looked the same it would just be like the same old thing, yawn, btdt. I felt a real lack of excitement to say the least. In fact, I did not even go for a 3d scan because although I had scheduling issues, deep down I didn't think it was worth the $ for just "anoth...

The problem is once you start ttc using the 7 sway factors you don't realize how difficult it will be. It is very hard to align all the factors every month and then can take many many months, even years to get pregnant with the "perfect" sway. I think most go into it thinking they will do everything by the book and those that have failed did not commit enough! Unfortunately, the emotional as...

Fellow failure here [;)] It does sting to see every forum plastered with happy happy joy joy over people getting their DG due to their magical swaying skills. I also don't blame them as I couldn't wait to make my, "My sway worked! The little girl I always dreamed of is on her way, Thanks IG!!!" post, although hopefully I would have been humble and considerate about it. I would love to partic...

I find that most people just have these formulated responses in their head for these situations. It is just something to say for them most of the time. It is totally idiotic though, but I try not to overthink it. If someone says this to me in email, I just ignore it and talk about more important things and I imagine they feel stupid that I do not even acknowledge the question. I don't do fac...

I am so unbelievably sorry. You did not cause this. You are obviously in shock right now, please reach out to your family and friends for help!!!

I am so sorry for the loss of your precious daughter. Your feelings are completely understandable. Go easy on yourself and give yourself some time to adjust. You will find peace in time with your new baby boy. (((Hugs)))

Just wanted to send you (((Hugs))). I feel that people are being a bit hard on you. I think the intent behind your post has been a bit misunderstood. You are suffering with GD over not having boy#2 and just trying to reach out for support, it's obvious to me you were not trying to just gloat about having girls to hurt boy moms, I mean you wanted to have another boy so obviously you think hig...

Yes, this is a big fear of mine! My DS has always been extremely demanding, high maintenance, high energy, he still requires constant supervision and interaction. He also wants to be entertained all day long and is like a non stop whirlwind, he gets more hyper by the day. It is absolutely exhausting and part of the reason why there will be a 4 year age gap between my kids. I just couldn't de...
