It sure is making me lose hope that we might get one! Seems impossible for it to happen. 2 more weeks and we'll know either way but I keep having dreams and losing sleep because I will have one dream where they tell me it's a boy and then the next dream it will be a girl. Such a rollercoaster.
I know a lot of you probaly don't understand me wanting a boy so bad but I just long for one and i Know this is our last chance. I know the baby's gender is what it is and you can't change it so I just want to get the u/s over with.
THanks if you've read this far. I hope no one judges me for my feelings.

I totally understand. I really really wanted a boy first and I was really disappointed to find out I wasn't going to have one. Of course, then I felt guilty because the baby is healthy and really that's all that matters. Now I'm just scared cause I was always a tomboy and I don't know how to raise a 'real' girl. ;P

haha you will do great with a girl!
I know I feel guilty too because I know that a healthy baby is most important but I just can't imagine never having a son.

try to relax, it's almost your turn! I swore up and down that I was having another girl, and I still can't believe we are going to have a baby boy.
sending BLUE dust your way!

I hope I am having a girl, since this will most likely be my last. I can say I will be dissapointed if it is a boy, but as long as its healthy thats all that matters... So I understand!

no judgement here  I never wanted a boy so not having one doesnt bother me that much  Wait...that came out wrong. What i meant to say is that the one gender I always wanted was girls! So I got my two girls...If I get a third it is just icing on top! If I get a boy I will have both genders and who could complain?
So...for me I understand because if i found out that i was having my third boy I would be devestated...I really wanted girls. AT LEAST one! Totally understand that desire

I was going to post a similar thread about "feeling guilty" when you don't get the gender you've wanted. I felt that way with my first when we found out he was a boy. There was this pang of disappointment that I wasn't have a girl ... because I was just *so* sure. But then I felt horrible about being disappointed because my little guy was healthy and I was having a baby!
Now, when I look at him, I can't think of it happening any other way. I'm so happy he was my first and I wouldn't change it for the world.
Again, I really want a girl, but I have a feeling I will have another boy. Mostly I'm trying to tell myself this because I don't want to have that guilty disappointed feeling again. It would be fantastic to have a little girl, but as long as my baby is fine, I don't care what parts s/he has! =D

Oh girl, I am so tired of hearing people get upset at me for wanting a girl so bad! I have been a GREAT boys mama and I have loved every moment.  I pray and dream of my girl!
Don't lose hope! It isn't over until you know for sure. HA HA

Of course no one would judge you for your feelings. There are a LOT of us who lean or have leaned one way or the other and are slightly (or maybe more) disappointed to find they are having the opposite gender. Especially if they already have one or two or three of one gender and want the other! It's completely natural and you know you are a good mom and even if you are having another girl you wouldn't love her any less. That being said, I will send blue baby dust your way!!

Thank you everyone............I am getting all teary eyed reading your responses. It sure makes me feel better to know that there are other mommies who feel the same way.

I totally get that. I had 3 boys before I had my first girl though so for me I was on the opposite side of the fence. I'll trade you some blue baby vibes for some pink baby vibes from you.

I totally understand. I was never good at predicting the gender. I had wanted an older boy and younger girl, but I got the opposite and I wouldn't have it any other way. Having one of each, I can definitely say that both are awesome to have and are very different. I hope you get your boy, though. This time I won't mind either way. I'd wanted fraternal twins, but it didn't happen.

Just because I dont want to be dissapointed... Sending blue dust your way !!!... Again though.. I am more than happy with this little one whatever it is..  and I think as mothers we are all deep down like that....  Hang in there

I totally understand how you feel! I'm on girl #3 and I'm so hoping #4 will finally be our boy.
Keep your hopes up!

I'm really hoping that this one will be a boy. DD1 and DS aren't DH's and even though he's raising them as his own and to them he's the only daddy there is I would really love this one to be a boy for him. It could very well be our last and while I know he'd love two girls that are his I know he wants a boy.

I get it too. I found out last Monday I am having my second boy and I cried  I managed to tell my parents a few days later but I still haven't told anyone else. I didn't even announce it on here. It's taken me this whole week to get excited about my little boy but the thought of my boys growing up to be best friends is great.
Plus, if you don't get your boy you might get a whole bunch of grandson's and it will be WAY better since you can spoil them rotten!!! Sending boy vibes your way!!!
