I am 35yrs old. I have 3 girls and I am now pregnant with my 4th child 13 yrs later. I have always wanted a boy from day 1. I had a 20 week U/S 5 weeks ago and found out I was having another girl. I was really disapointed. I'm having another 28 week U/S in 3 weeks. I heard that sometimes they can get it wrong and that they get the girls wrong more then the boys. I really hoping that they are wrong. I would love to try again but I'm just not sure I can go thought with another pregnancy. This pregnancy has been truely rough compared to the last 3.

I'm the only girl out of all my cousins, and my mom only has one brother. After my brother and cousins started having kids, they were all boys, I thought for sure I would have the girl. Ultrasound day came along- we didn't see anything indicating it was a boy, till he started moving, I was reassured it was a boy! I cried the whole time, not because the baby is a boy, but because I got to see this little miracle inside me for the first time. Later on during the day, I was really starting to get down, that i couldn't put bows in his hair. Now that we have started buying clothes, I get more and more excited each day.

When I found out I was having a boy I cried for a day or two. I wanted a little girl so badly. I had built up in my mind how my child was going to be... and what we would do... That was a lesson in acceptance and letting go of fantasy. Lol, after he was born I had this overwhelming feeling that this is the way it's supposed to be and truthfully I felt a little silly for wishing him to be a girl!

When I was expecting, my family had pegged me on having a girl. I was still hopeful, the baby would be a boy.If I was to have a girl, I would love her just the same. Finally at 20 weeks we saw the gender on the ultrasound. I remember my mom telling everyone, "It's gonna be a Girl." In the back of my mind, I was secretly hoping for a boy. Moments later the doctor says, "Congratulations, It's a Boy!" I was so happy, I cried. Then I asked him to check again & make sure.lol

It's funny because evryone expected for me to have a girl, but it really didn't work out that way. At first I wanted just that but, I'm blessed with a son instead.

At first when I found out I was pregnant everyone in my family wanted a baby boy. I thought i was going to have a boy too but when I went to my ultrasound I found out I'm having a little girl. I was happy it didn't matter to me what gender I was having I just wanted the baby to come out healthy.

I found out a month and a half ago I am having a little girl, and we couldn't be more excited! However I have a friend who was supposed to be having a little girl, called her Lily for months, bought little girl clothes, and then (surprise!) little boy Cameron was born. She loves him and has no resentment. But I keep having dreams of having a little boy, and I am terrified my husband and I won't feel happy if it isn't the little girl we think I am carrying. This was helpful to read, and know that odds are, I'll love our little one regardless of its gender.

After loosing my first baby, A girl, and then having 3 healthy beautiful boys I thought I would never have a girl. I made up my mind and got my tubes tied. I had my chance and it is gone. I love my boys dearly and I would not change them but yes I wanted a girl. After convincing myself that it was meant to be my old friend from high school asked me to be her daughters God mother. Wish came true. Now i have the girl I always wanted, in a way. I get to spoil her, enjoy her and I can return her when the fun is over to her parents..LOL! Kids are a blessing no matter what and special in their own way. I may nit have any daughters but Im sure my boys will give me plenty of granddaughter in the future.

i think that it is well worth the wait then it comes to finding out the if its a boy or girl of our new born child. I waited a long ten months of not knowing if it a boy or girl o still unsure of what i really wanted in the first place and finally when that moment came around i was happily in tears o know that i had a baby boy all along...

I completely relate to this article. I wanted a boy so badly, and of course I believed I would have a boy first, I alwways felt I would. Even My fiance said we would since everyone in his family had nothing but boys. It was not ill my 11th wk was I able to have my first ultrasound and at this point gender was not the issue, but but concerns of twins were. Right before the ultrasound the doctor asked if we had any questions, and our only response (joking mind you)was "yes, we just want to make sure there is just one".... Well as soon as he began to check the doctor say's "Well there is definitely a baby in there" and then immediately after says, "WAIT A MINUTE, IM NOT JOKING ..... THERES TWO!" with the drop of our mouths and tear filled eyes.....we were in shock. Being pregnant was a shock and now we were going to have two. It took a few days to get over the shock, but soon after we were excited and no we had an even bigger chance of having a boy. So our hope was two boys or a boy and girl... I mean we had a good chance. The thoughts of two girls kind of scared us but we knew no matter what we would love them still the same... but still we prayed for boys. The day of the ultrasound came and of course they couldn't just tell us what they were, they had to drown out he process. So here we were waiting and finally they say baby B is a GIRL....initially i won't lie a small amount of disappoinment set in, but hey we still had one more to go, and it surely has to be a boy. Again to drive us crazy they took another thirty minutes to say "well she has a sister". Our hearts sunk and all we wanted was for them to make sure, but it was clear as day. We were really excited with the pics we were given but silence had overcome us....finally we broke especially me, we really wanted a boy and now we had two girls. It took a few days to get this to pass... what were we going to do with two girls.... we were made to raise boys we thought.
Well, I have to say when you bring home two perfect beautiful green eyed premies with 10 finger and 10 toes, that are yours. You don't even know why you were disapointed in the first place because your so in love and even if you do remember you feel guilty because you think of all the great things this baby or babies has just brought to your life. I love them so much and even though it was one shock after another.....the greatest shock of all is that I could have all girls now and I would be extremely happy........(but ithis doesn't mean Im going to stop hoping for a boy. lol)

i feel so blessed to have a 4yr old boy and were now expecting another little one due by april..this time its a girl. Although hubby wanted a boy again with my second pregnancy- but i guess its time for him to work on his patience more for having a girl and im glad its finally sinking now to him that he will be having a little princess soon.
