Im Speechless.....not really...

kjkraus6 · October 2013

Today we had our u/s.....and we are having a girl......I know we hear this all day long on here....but when I heard girl after having 5 boys, I literally burst into tears.....not just the quiet trickle, but more like sobbing.....I totally convinced myself I was having a boy, more to prepare that I would never have a daughter as this is our last....and all that defense went out in me when she said she was 100% sure it was a girl and had zero doubts.....Now don't get me wrong I love, love, love my boys and would have been happy to have a healthy boy again, but lets get real, I really longed for a daughter.....I totally feel like I'm in a cloud now....anyone else relate?

Yay! Congrats

stefaknee · October 2013

Yes! I have 2 girls, and swore we would have at least 3-4 girls. I was shocked when we found out we are having a boy last week. I broke out in tears.

Now here came the annoying comments:
"Aw,third times a charm!" Huh? Does that make my girls worthless?
"Aw, your husband finally got his son." Uhm, thanks. Pretty sure he is mine too. We weren't TRYING for a sex. Just a baby.
"Oh, you finally had a boy, and can stop having babies!" We don't determine how many children we have based on sex.....

avigailandcharlie · October 2013

Amazing!!!!!! So so so happy for you. @stefaknee this is my first and literally the only "um what?" Comment I've had is a woman at my synagogue said we'd have to try again for a little girl. People suck. OP, sorry, not relevant to your amazing amazing news. I am so happy for you!

Excitedmum35 · October 2013

That's so lovely! And I love that you'd convinced yourself it was another boy and been happy about it. Makes it even more exciting!

I have 3 older brother and am the baby girl. She will be well protected for life. They where my brides men at the wedding. They stood up for their little sister.. It was sweet! I hope she has the same bond!

coreyeliz · October 2013

I can't relate per se since I don't know what I'm having yet. But for what it's worth, I started to cry reading your post just now. (I'm hormonal...) CONGRATULATIONS!!!

mcfife09 · October 2013

katykatykaty · October 2013

The day of my ultrasound with baby #4 remains one of the best days of my life. Got a girl after 3 wonderful boys. She is 10 now and having a daughter is still so wonderful! Baby # 5 is another boy so she will remain my only daughter.
Congrats on your wonderful news!

jamieandlori · October 2013

Congratulations! After 5 boys, I can only imagine how you must be feeling. I was super excited to be having a girl and I only have one DS.

OakvilleMomof3+1 · October 2013

After two boys I felt that way when I was told my 3rd was a girl. So I can only imagine after 5 boys how I'd feel! Now that I have 2 boys and a girl back to indifferent on # 4.
So exciting!!!!! Congrats.

Momackf · October 2013

I can relate to you! I have 3 amazing little boys this is baby # 4 I am praying for a little girl!!!!!

kelley72 · October 2013

oh my gosh, Congratulations!!! I have 4 boys and so of course would have a similar reaction, I'm probably going to cry no matter what. I want a little girl very much but completely not expecting it- I'd find it hard to believe if they said girl... Congratulations!!!

jwls84 · October 2013

That's awesome! After having thatany boys I don't blame you for being happy that it is a girl!! Congrats! Now go buy lots of pink! Or purple or just something with sparkles and bows

kjkraus6 · October 2013

Thanks everyone!!!!! I see some of you have similar stories to mine.....It will be fun to see how it all plays out for you.....babies are a happy thing no matter what the sex but when you have really been waiting to hear boy or girl and hear the one that you have been waiting for, for so long it really was mind blowing.....at least for me.

I had four sons before we had our baby girl, so I can completely relate. I am now having my 5th son, so while in different birth order, we will have similar families. I actually had a very hard time accepting that this one was another boy. When I found out I was pregnant (completely unplanned 6th pregnancy at 40 years old), the only thing that helped me get over the initial shock of the new pregnancy was the prospect of another girl. Then, the idea of that little baby girl was swept away instantly by the news of another boy. I suddenly felt overwhelmed by all the negative boy things. I suddenly hated seeing all the dirty boys at football practices, seeing the dirty toilet seat up in our guest bathroon, the constant bouncing of balls in my house, the borage of athletic shorts in my house (I swear that's all my boys wear), and anything else that screamed "mom of boys" in my life. I don't know why I reacted that way THIS TIME. I was never disappointed about it before, not even when I was pregnant with my fourth son and at the time was sure that would be my last child. I think it was a mix of my hormones and a feeling of being burned out on boy stuff (my boys range from 10 - 14). I'm feeling better now, but it did take a while. I LOVE my boys but I guess that was my long way of telling you that I completely understand your excitement of finally having a little girl. Enjoy every minute of it! As a side note, don't expect her to be girly-girl either. My daughter is very much a tom-boy. Her favorite color is blue and she'll pick hot wheels any day over a doll or anything girly. She has refused to take dance classes, instead opting for karate. She might not be the girly-girl that I expected, but I still love every moment of having her in our family.

I hate that too. Everyone assumes that we kept going until we had our girl (4 boys before our girl came), but it's entirely not true. We were 100% done when we had our boy and then oops, found ourselves pregnant again 3 years later. My doctor said that we are extremely fertile because here I am again with another oops baby. LOL!
