1 Week until we find out the gender!!

It's Monday and I am now only a week away from finding out what our youngest baby's gender is. My emotions are all over the place right now. I have read every blog, symptom spotting every chance I get to predict the gender of this baby. I told my doctor I am driving myself crazy trying to figure out. I knew what each one of my other kids were before they were born. My oldest is a girl and I just knew. With my second I knew he was a boy. I was so sure I didn't even want to know the gender at my ultrasound and low and behold he was a healthy baby boy. With my third, I felt he was a boy but wanted another girl so I would tell everyone he was going to be a girl. Deep down inside, I knew that was a little boy in there. I was upset for 2 weeks after my ultrasound. Mothers intuition is usually right. I got over it and the minute he was born I couldn't see my life without him. Now, with this baby, I have not a fricken clue! And maybe that's why it's driving me insane. I REALLY want another girl. I try to remind myself that I should just be blessed and be thankful that I have made it this far and have 3 amazing children already but it's hard. Maybe it's because I know this will be our last child. And I know the minute this baby is born I will love him/her just as much as I love my other children. My 2 oldest are from a previous relationship and my youngest is with my spouse now. I know my boyfriend would love to have one of each of his own as well. Not that he doesn't love my children, but you get it. He thinks it's a boy so that helps to keep me level headed if it does turn out to be a boy. I know I will be upset again and I think that's so childish of me. I don't think this week can go any faster. I am trying to keep myself as occupied as possible. I also picked out the name Kyree if it a boy and my boyfriend likes it too. I think if it is a boy that will help out a bit with the disappointment. I really like that name. My youngest is named after LeBron James and Kyree is his team mate so I think that would work out great. Regardless of gender I will be happy to have a healthy baby. It may take me a little bit to get over the shock but like I said before I am just blessed to be able to create such masterpieces. Just being a little selfish.

 | Comment from Amanda_McDaniel » Posted Oct. 19, 2015 6:09pm We didn't find out the gender with our first because I wanted a boy so badly that I knew I'd be disappointed if it was a girl and, Lordy, that made me feel guilty. But I knew, once I saw him/her, it wouldn't matter. Well I did get my boy and now I'm absolutely tickled to get my girl. Be sure to keep us posted on your results! Fingers crossed you get what you want! |
 | Comment from lala_0412 » Posted Oct. 19, 2015 2:55pm Thanks ladies! PBC10 that is a blessing that you are having one of each. I'm glad to know I'm not alone and it is okay to prefer one over the other. Sometimes I think how horrible it is that I prefer one and not just a healthy baby. |
| Comment from pbc910 » Posted Oct. 19, 2015 1:48pm Totally understand! I wanted these babies more than anything but I think I would have still be disappointed if they were two boys because I wanted a girl so bad. Of course, you're always appreciative and love the kid(s) no matter what! I know they are silly but all the old wives' tales I did to predict gender were correct and all the other little tests and such ended up being right too. |
