Hi ladies
I'm Kaz and mummy to Henry (aged 2 years) and non-id twins Liliah and Tallulah (nearly 8 months) I am WTT until 2014 and would love another blue bump!
Really pleased to see this new area of the forum. I must admit, I used to cringe so much, browsing the site and coming across Gender Disappointment threads. Because I knew somewhere within them would be at least one lady who just does not understand and comes out with the brainless "you should be happy to be pregnant at all" type comments. Arrrrghhh!!! Of course we're thrilled to be pregnant and the baby is looking healthy but ffs, you can't lie and pretend you don't care what sex you're expecting when in actual fact you do care!! Makes me very cross. Anyway, hurrah for this section and other understanding people
From a very early age I knew I wanted two babies. My yearning for a baby girl and the pretty dresses started VERY young. But in my naive head I decided that I must have a boy first so that he could be the big protective brother when my little girl were to come along.
Lo and behold!! I got my boy first. It was very strange. I knew it was what I had 'planned' but when we found out it was a boy at our 16 week scan... my heart just fell. No pretty dresses, no barbies. No pink and purple.. I love purple. Gosh, I really was disappointed and I felt SO guilty. My husband was pleased. I still enjoyed my pregnancy and as time went on, I did get my head around the fact I was carrying a boy. Choosing his wardrobe wasn't fun, I must admit. I still don't particularly enjoy it. I just can't get enthusiastic about boys clothes!! But thats really very unimportant in the grand scheme of things. Once Henry had been born.. I fell in love. I could not wish for a more incredible son. The disappointment didn't exist even for a second once he had arrived and it never has since.
I was team yellow with the twins. I hate to admit it but if I had ended up with two boys, I would have felt totally and utterly crushed. Don't get me wrong, I would have loved them to bits and obviously would have got used to having two more little men in my life. But.. blah.. it feels horrible writing it, as if I'm saying I wouldn't have wanted them. I really would have!! Its just.. preference, isn't it. Anyway, its irrelevant, I gave birth to two absolutely gorgeous healthy little girls and I was (and still am!) on cloud nine!! Needless to say, I am at the stage where I need an extention built onto our house for all of their clothes.. haha!
Sooooooo if I am lucky enough to fall pregnant again.. 2014 is when it will be. If everything goes to plan! I would adore another little man. To even it up, yes, but also so Henry has a lil playmate. Hes going to be ganged up on big time by his little sisters, I just know it! If I were to have another girl, I wouldn't be disappointed as such. At least, not like I would have been if the twins had been boys. Because I've already got my boy. I don't NEED another one in the same way I felt I NEEDED a boy and a girl (or two!). But if I could choose.. it would deffo be a boy
Sorry for rambling, I tend to do that a lot. I hope everyone in here gets what they want. Whether it be now or another time x
