Congrats MeganBeth, he is beautiful!

We are not finding out what we are having this time. We found out for our first two, but I just want this one to be a bit of a surprise. Although we pretty much already figure on having another boy. I joke around with everyone that we are just incapable of having girls. *I would absolutely love to have a little girl though.* As long as it is a healthy happy baby, that is all I care about!

thanks ladies!

4Myself, we all have days like that. Kids are nothing if not infuriating at times! You did the right thing calling your mom; cut yourself a break and start again. Hang in there, you can make it!

Oh honey, I am sorry you are having such a rough time. I have never taken any meds, but I can tell you that I did experience much greater "baby blues" with my daughter than I did with either of my sons. Maybe it is the girl on girl hormones - I don't know. I can remember just sobbing in the shower and my husband coming in and asking what was wrong. I couldn't even talk...all I could do was cry. He finally called my mom because I was so upset and I didn't even know what was wrong, but I sure could not stop crying. It did get better slowly, but it took time.

Don't ever feel bad about taking some time for yourself. You know your limits and did the absolute right thing calling your mom. Sometimes a small break is all we need to get back on track and feel better. Just do what you can and make that man of yours get on the ball and help you out darn it.

We had our ultrasound yesterday and it was pretty obvious we are having another boy. Our third boy... I don't know if I can handle that. I broke down quite a few times in the last two days and I know it is ridiculous. I just have always wanted a daughter. I always thought that I would have at least one and now another boy. I feel terrible because I should just be so grateful to be having another healthy baby when some people can't have kids. Why does this affect me like that? I hate to say I'm disappointed, but I am. Very much so. I hate it. I told DH that I hated him because he just can't give me the one thing I have always wanted. (Lately I just can't stand him, so it may be more than just this) I just need to get it together here.
Sorry about the rant, but seriously I don't know who else to go to. I don't have my mom to go to and I don't talk to my MIL about personal things like this. She had 4 boys, no girls and thinks it helps to tell me that "someday I will have DIL's". This just makes me more depressed.
Why am I so sad during this pregnancy? This is pretty pathetic. I just want to lay in bed and cry.

TBCH i was a bit disappointed when we found out we were having another boy. I've pretty much resigned myself to knowing I probably won't be having a girl of my own, there are only like 3 girls in DH's family on his dads side period. Hormones suck I hope you start feeling better soon!

Thanks MeganBeth. I do feel a little better today. It seems that everyone in our families has had a girl except for a few. I am one of them and it kills me. I don't understand how all of that gets determined and I don't know if it has much to do with positions or time of month, I didn't know it would be this hard. I especially didn't know it would be this hard to not be able to have girls and have this awful feeling. It doesn't seem fair.
I am blessed with my boys and I need to focus on that. They are alive and healthy. At least my boys have someone to play with and stay close to. They will have that brotherly bond that my brothers had. Anyway, I'll leave it at that before I start bawling again.
I hate hormones. UGH.

It's all determined by dad. If he's only shooting boy sperm you won't get a girl... according to taking charge of your fertility you have a higher chance of getting a girl if you dtd a few days before you ovulate because girl sperm live longer than boy sperm, but in some cases it just doesn't matter. In our case we have a pretty small chance at having a girl given how genetics has played out on dh's side of the family at least on his dads side for generations.

Congrats MeganBeth, he's a cutie! Are those some little longies I see in the 2nd picture?

We're not finding out the gender either, I'm declining all ultrasounds again this time around.

I'm so sorry you're going through this, too! I had to fight feelings of guilt after my B/G ultrasound because I wanted another little boy so badly. As time has passed, however, I HAVE come to view it from the "as long as she's healthy I don't CARE" angle.

It took time, but now I'm, um, almost excited about meeting my beautiful baby girl. Still a little scared, though!!

Yup! My grandma made them, I'm so sad I didn't buy enough preemie pf's though and the infant pfs are huge on him still. I should've remembered I make skinny babies

Hi everyone. I hope that the holidays where good for you. All I have been doing is munching the last week. DANG those cookies. The ones that I made are gone it is what everyone brought over for Christmas now. I know I'm up at least 2lbs from the 24th I was not brave enough to weigh this morning on my normal WI day. Maybe I will do it tomorrow.

Well, I have definitely been avoiding the weigh-in thread...I weighed in at 192 today. So discouraging! BUT I feel our little guy more and more so I would say he's doing pretty well! I didn't watch what I ate the majority of this week and I know I really overate last Sunday, Christmas, and the day after Christmas. I will definitely do better this week, I did great yesterday and so far today. Thank God this month is almost over so the temptations will be gone! November and December are the worst for me, as I'm sure is true with most.

It's technically still December and I'm preggo! Well, we're waiting on bloodwork results to be sure (will get those in a few hours), but 3 home tests say I am. I'll admit I'm in a little shock... I'm sure it'll wear off soon enough. I remember having this feeling right after I found out I was pg with Caleb, too. That "Oh my goodness, what the heck have I done?! I'm not mature enough for this!" feeling. I'm still there, like I said, I'm sure it'll pass.

Congrats!!!

I already miss being pg, I don't want to not go to my MW's house every month how sad is that?? lol I'm sure we'll be having lots of lunch dates so she can get her "fix" of my red heads
