Another failed sway

BrittneyLA · #1 April 12th, 2011, 09:51 PM

Yep. Snuck in to the sonographers today at work when she had some time. And there was very prominent boy parts. So thats it, 3 boys for me. Its hard for me to not be dissapointed but Im trying hard to be happy about it. but yeah just wanted to update you.

Oh, hon....I'm so sorry. I'll probably be in the same boat as this will be it for me if we conceive again and the cards are stacked waaaaaay against girls. I'm sending you lots of HUGS...

I'm sorry.

Your sway sounded so encouraging. To be honest, I'm losing faith in the whole 'sway' thing. So many people do such a great sway, and it doesn't seem to matter.
I tell myself we're meant to get the babies we get. (But still doesn't stop me from hoping and praying I have a little girl baking right now

)
On the upside - more $ to spend on yourself doing girly things?!

Hugs

Thanks ladies. Its hard right now. I know I am going to love this baby but when I go to get diapers today Im scared Im gonna start bawling when I pass the easter dresses and little head bows. It was our last one and I know now when i look at them ill never have a little girl.

I'm sorry.....I am starting to lose faith in swaying too! Back in the day people used to get whatever and ate whatever....

I'm sure your boys are gonna have a blast together and be super close!!

I was quite disappointed whemn i found out that Alex was going to be a boy, now i wouldnt change him for the world. I still believe in swaying. I think it is much harder to sway pink. Congratulations on you son and you ll have to post a ic of your little guy and keep us updated!!

Thanks Shell. Actually I thought of you last night. I know you were in my exact shoes with trying one more time for a girl and it didnt work. I knew in my gut the whole time it was a boy, but its still hard to hear. I dunno I think I am dealing with some extreame GD and I think its worse that it wasnt an official US, and my 20 weeks is in like 4-5 weeks and I keep thinking...what if?? Ugh I dunno. I know the chances of a wrong boy guess is pretty slim. Plus the pic was pretty convincinsg.

I am really, really sorry

I know how much you wanted a girl (I think I am on the same par...) and it is heartbreaking that you are not going to get your pink. Pink swaying is really harder than blue. We ended up giving up our sway because it was too much work and wasn't working (like we were getting pregnant). I will keep you in my thoughts, feel free to talk to me about it any time. I think I get what you are feeling and might very well be there in about a week.

As much as I love, love, LOVE DS#2, I am still unable to go shopping for kid clothes w/out tearing up...Those d@#% girl clothes! It not that I'm mourning the fact that DS#2 is a boy but the absence of a DD. I'm sending you TONS of HUGS, Mama. I am so sorry.

How about I trade my girl dust for your boy dust on this one!!! I have 2 Girls and my hubby has 2 girls and we are hoping for a boy......I'll let you know if our few efforts worked! But here is some girl dust for those still trying.........

ungratefulbiped · #11 April 18th, 2011, 12:12 AM

I'm so sorry for your disappointment. I suppose it's good to know now than at the 20 week when it may hit you and make you upset in front of the doc.

Hugs mama, my boy sway failed and its very evidently another girl. I am so sorry you didn't get your girl, wanna trade? LOL I'm totally kidding of course, trying to lighten the mood. Really big big hugs!

pikcstick · #13 April 25th, 2011, 08:49 AM

Hi- i had to message u. I know the disappointment u r feeling firstbhand. I also dealt with tremendous guilt for being disappointed. A woman once said to me "youre boy mommy", wth isthat supposed to mean? I wish i had some reassuring words for u. I love my boys to death and they r my life. Good luck

BrittneyLA · #14 May 15th, 2011, 08:17 PM

Im finally starting to get excited about the thought of being a mama to three boys. Thanks for all the support its nice to know Im not alone!

sharlers · #15 May 16th, 2011, 01:52 AM

first of all sorry you havent getting your little girl i have 3 boys and like everyone else i was alittle disappointed but once they re there it completely changes how you feel you love them to bits im currently trying for a girl but not swaying heavy taking supps and trying to limit things rather than cutting out completely my sister in law ate anything she liked and has 2 girls and a boy

Alleghany · #16 May 17th, 2011, 07:04 AM

Sending HUGS again, Brittney...I'm ready to TTC on my next cycle and I'm pretty sure it'll be another boy by all swaying standards but I just want to get preggers at this point. I think I'll be an ALL BOYS card carrying member for life as well...sigh. XO
