cckarting-I know exactly what you mean! Everyone keeps saying "it'll be a girl, don't worry", and I keep obsessing over all the OWT's and theories out there... It will all be for nothing in the end, whether it's a boy or girl!! And it would be easier if people said "It could go either way! You just have to wait and see" or something. Instead of reinforcing my hopes that are based and nothing... But hey, I continue to cling. It's all I can do to pass the time I suppose?
Guppy-You don't sound like a horrible person at all. If #2 had been a girl, I wouldn't be pregnant right now. I had always pictured myself with 3 children either way, but my first son is quite the handful. He would honestly be better off as an only child, or one other sibling. The fact that he says he wants a sister SO BADLY just increases my anxiety to make me feel like this baby
needs to be a girl in order for him to bond properly and accept another sibling.
I think it goes without saying that regardless of gender we will love our past and future children without falter. I wasn't overly upset when finding out Teagen was a boy, surprised certainly, upset, not really. I could try one more time. If this baby is a boy, then it WILL be okay. It has to be?! What option is there?! It's just hard to let go of something that is so deeply important to you. But the ladies in this forum know that all to well.
I try to remind myself that whoever my children turn out to be, and regardless of their gender they're meant to be here, and they're meant to be ours.
Not going to lie though... If this baby is a girl.... I'm going to throw a party!
