My sister just called from her big u/s to let me know I will soon be an aunt to a baby nephew. Not only would our babies be the same age, but both boys. She was crying because "she really wanted a girl." What? This is her first and she is telling this to her sister who just lost her baby. I thought I was being good for being excited for her in general, but yikes. Fertiles just dont get it. Ever.
DX: Unexplained IF/possible PCOS
5/5/2010 Surprise BFP!
After 2 miscarriages and many prayers, our angel is here:)
I'm really sorry she said that to you. Your a better women then me because had it been my sister I wouldn't have hesitated to say something to her about being so silly about the sex of her child considering my current situation!
UGH!! I think it is horrible to get upset over the sex of a baby (fertiles really don't get it i guess?!)... my mom used to be like that ...always saying she wanted a granddaughter and not a boy.... but i kept reminding her our only wish is for a healthy baby someday! Who cares what the sex is... i think either one would be a miracle and blessing and i would love that child to pieces!! :-/ Sorry you had to deal with this and so sorry for your loss

Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2 After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
I'm so sorry that your sister is too wrapped up in her own MUD that she can't be more sensitive. I will never understand gender disappointment, ever.
