Anyone else having their 3rd boy or girl!?

MrserinJ · February 2013

We found out last week we are having a third boy! We are thrilled but I am really surprised to get three boys.... Just seems like the odds would have been a girl!

It was so cute when we told our 5 and 2 year old. I feel so blessed and happy to be having another one as our boys are the light of our lives! Can't wait for this one to join the brood!

That said, there are a lot of people that seem disappointed for me!? Like its "too bad" baby is t a girl. I don't get it. We just wanted a baby when we tried to get pregnant. Anyway, it doesn't matter what others think, as we are thrilled.

Just wondering if there is anyone else out there having a third of the same sex!?

My aunt and uncle had seven boys. No girls. So it happens. Lol.

Whoa!! That's got to be some kind of record! Lol

DH is 1 of three boys, so I guess it's not too surprising!

Congrats on your baby boy!!!

We are expecting our 2nd girl and last child. My FILs response to the news of another granddaughter was "I guess you'll have to have a 3rd". Ummm.....actually no, we are thrilled to be having another girl.

We are having our third girl. People keep saying that my husband must be disappointed. He wanted a third girl! This is our last child, and you do think about the fact that you won't ever have a boy, but it has nothing to do with the joy of having a third, healthy child. We could not be happier!

This is so true! For split second, when we found out, all the thoughts of the motherdaughter relationship that I'd wondered about went out the window. But then came in the awesome thoughts of three brothers, the special bond I have with my boys and also the bond DH has with them. Honestly, we would have been happy either way!

They all have R names too. Rory, Ross, Royce, Riley, Russell, Rhett, and Robbie.

I may be having my third boy. I just don't know it yet. Will find out next week.

A lot of what you've said in this post, and others, rings so true to me. We weren't trying to have a boy or a girl we were trying to have a baby. As much as I may mourn not having a mother/daughter relationship if this baby is boy I will mourn not having a third boy for other reasons. I actually enjoy being the only female. (I am the only girl in my family with three brothers. I'm used to being the princess!!)

Anyway, Congratulations to you!

Did you decide if you are sharing the sex with friends and family?

We're having our second and third, and they're both boys. And we're definitely done after this. While I was a bit sad for a bit that I'll never have a daughter, I think this is the way our family was meant to look. People are kind of weird about it though. When we tell people they're boys, they almost look a little disappointed.

my4blessings · February 2013

this will be our 3rd son and we couldn't be happier...we didn't care what sex the baby was as long as it was healthy...i told both our families that they better get over it b/c this is the last one for us...we will have 2 girls 9 & 10 and 3 boys 5,3 and the new baby.

MLS0630 · February 2013

Possibly? We are Team Green but I think I saw a glimpse of boy parts at our a/s which would make this our third boy. I also have a DD, I'll admit the thought of her not having a sister does make me a little sad because I see a special bond forming between our boys. But I am beyond happy that this pregnancy has going pretty smoothly and baby is healthy. A sidenote, my DD is a major princess, very dramatic, and by far the most demanding of my children...so maybe its in my best interest to have another easy, mellow boy like my other two, lol.

Congrats on your 3rd boy!! We are expecting our 3rd boy also! As much as I though this one was going to be a girl I guess I'm not surprised. We seem to have a triple trend in our family. DH's grandmother had 3 boys. My grandmother had 3 boys then 3 girls. I am one of 3 girls and DH is one of 4 with 3 boys and 1 girl.

Cookies2013 · February 2013

We have two girls and will find out in a couple weeks what #3 will be! My husband def wants a boy but I am fine with either...I am kind of scared of a boy actually bc we are so used to girls! It has been annoying me lately when people say we really need a boy or think we only had 3 to try for a boy. We wanted to have at least 3 kids if we were blessed with the opportunity and I know we will love no matter what we have! My friend just had her 3rd girl. She said she broke down crying at the ultrasound bc she was so excited for a boy but her little girl was born a week ago and they couldn't be happier!

I am sure you are an awesome mom to your 2 boys and having 3 of the same sex def has its benefits!!

We are having our third girl. When I told people we were pregnant, I got a lot of responses like, "Well I hope this one's a boy!" It infuriated me. During the A/S when we found out it was another girl I got a huge smile on my face. Now people say, "Your husband must be really bummed." Its so rude!

valstulas · February 2013

We found out today that we are having our 4th boy! No girls in our family. This is our final baby, and most everyone who knows me knows that I've always dreamed of having a daughter. Some people, then, are a little disappointed for me, but everyone is excited that we are having a healthy baby. Of course we feel so very blessed with 4 healthy kids, be they boys or girls.

You sound like you have a very healthy attitude anyway, but I will tell you from experience that having 3 boys is a fun and wonderful experience. You will cherish every second of it, of course, and every moment is just magical. Congratulations on your baby boy!

I grew up in a family with 3 girls. We are all VERY close, and the bond my sisters and I have is great now that we are all older!

I wish you the best of luck with your family and your wonderful children!

kathleen02 · February 2013

It hadn't even been two hours since we had found out we were having another boy and a nurse asked me if I was going to try again for #3! She wasn't mean but I'm like, um, I'm only halfway through this pregnancy so I'm not thinking that far ahead and most likely not anyway. Weird! Of course I'd love a daughter but I think I may be done with two so that's fine with me.

Though I did read something a couple years ago that if a woman has at least three of the same sex children then the odds are slightly in her favor to have another of the same. It was only like a 5-10% chance increase though.

Thank you for the congrats!! We are truly thrilled to be having another healthy thus far baby joinin our family!

We found out a week ago and were going to keep it to ourselves. However, I didn't think about how much it would break my heart not to tell my 5 year old. He has been so into the whole pregnancy and asked every day if "God had decided if the baby was a hour or girl or not" lol. We really wanted to tell him, so we did. It was so worth it. His reaction was priceless.

That said, we knew he couldn't keep it a secret! Lol. We told my MIL yesterday. She was better than I thought but still said "A part of me is just so sad for you, no chance you'll try again?". I could tell she was disappointed. DH told FIL and he was thrilled. My SIL had been going on about it being a girl and I told her it bothered me so now she is going waaaaayy over the top about how awesome it is that I'm having another boy. Lol.

emandia · February 2013

I'm having my 3rd boy, too! YES, I do feel like people were disappointed that I wasn't having a girl. But whatever... My boys are the sweetest and love their mama so much! I wouldn't have it any other way. I just love those guys.

missyjg · February 2013

Big congratulations on another baby boy! How exciting.

My dad's one of 8 boys. My grandparents adopted a girl. I don't know how she did it, the stories my dad and uncles tell me is crazyness. We are a family of 3 girls and then a boy, my parents were done at 3 girls so my brother was a big surprise.

EVA116 · February 2013

How do you all make boys!? Honestly we tried to do shettles this time around for a boy. I know i

I will find out Monday but I have a feeling this is another girl. I am praying for healthy and starting to think of all the wonderful things that could be with another girl.

(but I will be crossing my fingers....I want to experience having a son....I would have my fingers crossed for a girl had DD been a boy)

Want a personalized experience?

Anyone else having their 3rd boy or girl!?
