Gender Guessing / Confirming - Page 3

[MommaHen]

Gender guess:

Confirmation Date: April 11th, 2011... or whenever baby decides to come out!  Our u/s is on Nov. 23rd, but we are team green!

Gender:

Thoughts/Notes: This pregnancy has been very similar to that of my DD, and my 2 DS's were quite similar as well.  I guessed right each time, so here's to another girl!!!

Gender guess: 

Confirmation Date: 11/9/2011

Gender: Boy.... so I was wrong. But dh and dd and my mother and pretty much everyone else is right!

Thoughts/Notes: I am a little disapointed. I think I was just SO sure of a girl and since I had been right with dd I thought I would be right this time. Dh is now dragging his feet on name ideas and shooting down everything I like:( Oh well.

[sunflwrmoonbeam]

Ravensong, I'm in the exact same boat (totally expected a girl, surprised and a teensy bit disappointed to see I was wrong) but at least DH is FINALLY cooperating on names.

Anyways, congrats on your boy!

[csekywithlove]

Ravensong: Congratulations! Boys are quite a bit of fun. ;) And I am hoping mine will be a girl, so it's probably a boy. So I might be in the same boat as you at the end of the month. At least you know though! The anticipation is just too much for me!

ravensong- i wanted a gilr with my first (who is now a straping young kindergarden boy) until someone told me this:

no one will EVER love you as much as your son. when hes little he will stroke your skin when you nurse and as he grows he will stroke your hair, and be so enamored with you untill he finds another girl. he will then his whole life be trying to find a girl just like you.  your son is the only person who will see you for the amazing woman you are. 

another thing iv learned with my 2 children, ( for toddlers on up): girls are like cats. they like to be cuddled but on their own time, and when they are done, they are done. they are much more  guarded with their affections and they think thru everything. they have a sweet purrrr and soft love, but it is theirs, not yours.  boys are like puppies, they want to be touched and loved and wrestled thru adulthood.    their love is available and palpatable. and i have to say...iv always been a dog person. :)   

enjoy your beautiful son!!!! believe me.....boys are amazing.

Thank you vivica, this is just what I needed to hear, you made me tear up a bit too, lol. 

I think I was just sad to put away little baby dresses etc. I am over my feelings of disappointment today, especially since dh is being so cute- talking about his son and talking to him. 

[vivica2]

if it makes you feel any better i cried (off an on) for 2 weeks when i found out dd was a girl..i wanted another boy so bad! haha. you are doing awesome. :)

vivica2 - your post made me cry. I'm sitting here at my desk at school with tears streaming. I guess it was time for a good waterworks session! I used to want only boys (terrified of girls because I can't imagine having a child like me, my mom is a saint). That was before we started trying. Now I just want to know! 

[flavorfull1]

Gender guess: Boy

Confirmation Date: Ultrasound scheduled for 11/22 and I am so excited!!!

Gender: (quote your post and update when you know!)

Thoughts/Notes: Thought it was a girl in the beginning but lately, and every time I have heard the heartbeat, I feel like it is a boy.  So, now I am completely confused.  Girl names have been way easier and the only dream I have had about the baby have had the baby a girl.  I think this is really a case of being really ok with either one.  I was scared to have a girl when pg with DS bc I didn't want all of that pink and girls seemed complicated.  This time, I feel happy with either. I feel like brothers have a special bond and that would be fun to watch with my DS1 growing up, but my younger sister and brother are also really close.  If it is a boy, it will be the fourth grandson on my side and if it is a girl...she will have three boys within three years of her all being protective and playful with her.  I think I have come to the conclusion that there is only so much that you can pin point on sex of a child and the rest is about relationships, personality, experiences, and your own family. Either way, I really can't wait!

I couldn't have said it better Vivica!!! My son is mommy's boy, without question. He adores me and protects me at all times...he might break things, or not want to help out at times, but when it matters I know where his heart lies. My daughters are much more distant (and I find girls in general break away from mom as they try to prove they are their own person). I'm SO hoping for a little boy again.

And yes, you'll have to put away those pretty little dresses, but think of the adorable little suits you get to replace them with!!

While I don't have a girl yet, I totally love my son to death!  I had wanted a girl at first, but am so glad I have a boy.  He is such a Mama's boy.  While he does have his daddy days, it's always Mommy in the end.  He is such a caring and wonderful little boy who loves to be hugged and cuddled!  I still hold him to sleep and while sometimes I wish he'd go to bed without being held, I adore that time because it's such a cuddle moment that lasts longer than a few minutes (very active little boy during the day).

I love this. Made me tear up a little too!! I love my boy so much. He's the sweetest little angel and he's just so dear to me.

I am good either way this second baby turns out though because I think it'd be nice to have a girl because it'd be different and I'd like to experience raising both and having one of each. However, I have to admit I'm a little terrified of having a girl because I just don't know as much about little girls and I can imagine the increased "maintenance" with girls and whatnot. (Also, I'm not too much of a "girly girl" myself and I kind of hate pink.) Because of all that, and because I love little boys, I'd also be fine if this baby turns out blue. It'd be nice to get to reuse more of the clothes and toys we have and whatnot, and I feel like I already know what to expect with a boy, but life is all about the surprises so it'd be nice with a girl to experience all the unexpected I suppose too. Either way I'm good. We find out sometime soonish... I hope!!!

Lats night I couldn't sleep b/c I realized that I will be sad if the baby isn't a girl and sad if the baby isn't a boy. So either way I will be happy and sad.

[tarabelle]

Courtney- When do you find out?

 

[Thursday Girl]

so we had the sono today but won't find out until tomorrow at the gender party. my friend is teasing me that she will make it a swirl cake. the ultrasound tech said 80% on the gender she wrote, which is what they said for my last kid.

Courtney - I'm looking forward to pics and the reveal!

it's a girl (or 80% sure anyway)

[zuzusplace]

Sorry about that laundry duty Courtney, but congrats on the girl!!!! :)

[winterhalter]

vivica-that was beautiful! oh my. I wish I would have put up my guess on here sooner. At least I put it on the rollcall.

The night before we found out we were pregnant I had this strange dream. There was a baby on top of this tall white box and a man in his late twenties across from him also on a white box. My DH looked at the man, got in between them and picked up the baby. I had been wanting a baby, but felt very bad when he picked up this baby. Almost like a greiving feeling.

I don't really have a stance on reincarnation, but I woke up pretty darn convinced I was pregnant and having a boy.

And we are! :)
