Hi ladies,
So I was pretty staunchly O and D up until a year ago. I have a DS 6 years and have a pretty stressful time with him to frequent illnesses and feeding issues. But now that things have calmed downed, I find myself really wanting a little girl. Now Im dreaming of pink stuff and dresses and all that other stuff. I know obviously the sex of a child is not a guarantee. I guess Im kind of on the fence right now. But part of me is thinking I want another baby for mostly superficial reasons. Anyone been in this boat or have advise?
Re: Need a major reality check
Sure, I think a lot of us can relate. I am OaD mostly by circumstance ( recent single mom).
I have a DD, but find myself daydreaming about both scenarios-- two little girls (matching outfits!) and one of each sex (brother/ sister fun!)
But for me, for my situation, this is not something that can be reality. Even if I do wind up getting remarried, I am not sure my OaD status would change, because as it is DD gives me a run for my money, andplusalso, I have gotten so used to the idea of her being an only.
But I think you will find a lot of support-- there are quite a few fence sitters that go back and forth.
