I get "spring girl fever" when I see all the frilly Easter dresses. ::swoons::
Momma to three boys:
Henry - 4yo
Alex - 18mo
Jack - born 2/23/12 at 20w due to ruptured uterus (previa and accreta resulting in hysterectomy)
He only lived here on Earth for an hour, but he will live in our hearts forever.

Okay...so I obviously don't care as long as it is our forever baby...but having a girl would be so much easier as I just lost 2 boys. For some reason I feel like it would be easier for me. Sometimes I feel like if I have a boy it will be like I am trying to replace the little men I lost. ::sigh:: But of course, regardless, I will be glowing with joy when our LO arrives...who know how long from now.

I totally understand this sentiment. I don't know really. I want a girl because I am in love with all the clothes for little girls, but like you said, it would almost feel like replacing the girl I lost.

If Glinda the Magic Gender fairy floated down on her bubble and said, "Triple, I will grant you one magic sticky pregnancy and you get to pick the gender!" then I'd say girl.
But in the real world, I'll take what I can get.
Weirdly, when I imagine holding my newborn in the hospital and showing her off to friends and family, it's always Josephine Edith, but when I picture myself at the playground with a toddler, it's Simon Kelly.

Re: CP: Gender
I know this is a headdesk response - I really just want a healthy one.
I'd be happy buying little dresses or overalls.
See Universe? I am very ungreedy. GIVE ME A GDAMN BABY BEFORE I JUST LOSE IT.
ok, i'm the douche that put "carrie stop being a pw"
only because i didn't see another option. i dont have anything for a baby and i really really really don't care. i have pros and cons to both sexes.
LOL fair enough.
I agree. I would just be happy with ANYTHING at this point. All I really want is happy and healthy.
I clicked "girl" but I really don't care.
