I don't want it to sound like I'm always putting the dampener on everything, and of course it is different for everyone, but I hate to think that I could give someone false hope. I know there are people out there who will guess girl on a scan just to give you hope, you see it in the preg test section, clearly negative tests but certain people ALWAYS comment saying "I see a little something, I think this could be it" and when it's gender guessing they look at a signature and see you have 2, or 3, or 4 boys and say "I think it's a girl" and then someone else will go "I don't even see a nub" there are people who like to bring others down so will guess boy just because they notice you already have boys, whether they see a boy nub or not.
Because of this I try so very hard to not say I think it is one way or the other unless I really do see something.
I say this because I know I've picked fault with the gender predictors, and now I'm going to tell you all how my first 3 pregnancies were almost identical. Mild nausea, but no actual sickness, and nausea passed by lunch time, headaches, nose bleeds, no sore boobs, all symptoms stopped at 12 weeks and I didn't feel that pregnant other than the growing bump. I didn't even get a single craving, just good aversions. With number 4 I had sore boobs, no headaches, no nose bleed, loads of nausea and threw up all day everyday until 18 weeks. And then I had tons of cravings, including craving things that I couldn't even stand the smell of when I was expecting the big boys. My pregnancy with number 4 could not have been more different. Same dad, same gender.
Pink that's fantastic you get to go for number 4, whatever this babies gender is. I think it's so much better along a decision now than when you know this babies gender, because that could effect how you feel.
Here's hoping each of us gets a girl in the end. I sometimes feel like I won't because I don't want it enough, like even though I've cried and stressed and had dips into depression over it I am still actually ok with the idea of another boy, and because if that I don't deserve and won't get a daughter.
