Total AW: 20w A/S Yesterday (and a rant)

My babies look perfect. I had a good case of hives by the time I arrived for the scan, I was so freaking nervous. But I have to admit, I was really nice to lay there for an hour and get a good look at them. I could do that all day long. All system were functioning and nothing looked amiss. A is 11oz and B is 10oz and measured right on track. And the icing on the cake was finding out the sex. Both my boys were more than happy to show their goods! I am a momma of 3 boys! Eek! I could not be any happier! Oh, and major cervix brag - it was 4.45. Wow, I am shocked!
There is where my rant starts. Why are other people disappointed for me that I don't have a girl? I am not disappointed in the slightest. My 3 boys will only be 20 months apart. What fun they will have and what good friends they will be. I love my son with all my heart and love being a boy momma, so this was great news to me. Why can't it be great news to others? I know my mom is disappointed (she doesn't have to say it directly to me) because she always says "every woman needs a daughter" but even a lady in the dr's waiting room had to get in on my and DH's conversation and asked if we knew what we were having so we told her and she said - I kid you not - "I bet you were hoping for a girl". I actually wasn't, you witch, I just want these babies to be healthy and stay put for as long as they can so F off. Then to top if off all the ladies at my son's daycare were all visibly disappointed when I told them. I got a couple of "you've got to be kidding me" remarks from them. WTF? Why do you care? I sometimes can't stand people. End rant.
I am literally tickled blue and have finally gotten all giddy and excited. Hearing that they are healthy and that we are moving along well makes my heart soar with happiness and pride!

When they told us we were having two boys, people made comments like, "oh I bet your husband is happy!" and were sort of shocked when I said that, actually, he was really hoping to have a little girl. People are just, as PP mentioned, ridiculous.
That said, I'm so glad your anatomy scan went well! Ours is Tuesday and I am already starting to get nervous.. we didn't do any of the genetic bloodwork, but everything has looked great so far. It's just hard not to worry.

If you're wondering about my avatar...it's a fried pickle chip shaped like a fetus!
I had two boys before my twins boys so I know exactly what your talking about, one of the gramma's was even angry at me for not finally giving her a granddaughter. And not a single person seemed to be happy that I was having twin boys, except DH. He wanted to throw a party, he was so happy to not have any girls. The possibility of a girl baby terrifies the man! Well I love all my boys and wouldn't trade any of them for a girl! NOW if I could get a guarantee that the next one would be a girl I WOULD go for number 5...but yeah, it would be a boy so nope, im done

People blow sometimes. They also look at my only son, with his 3 sisters, and say "poor guy." Um no. He loves his big sister so much and kisses his twins daily. Plus, he will have dates for every prom from their friends. He's a-ok.
I don't get it- why people think there's a perfect family ratio and number.
