Went to the Fetal Maternal Specialist

Appointment went ok. Met with the genetic counselor first, she recommended the Maternit21 test as a follow up, so I had that done. Then we did the Level II u/s, they said everything looked fine but that it was hard to tell since it's still early. They did say it was a boy though, I've been trying to hold it together in front of my family, but I bawled all night. FOUR boys, I can't even. Three put us over the edge which is why we said we wouldn't try again despite dreaming of a girl, but then a contraception failure and here we are. One. More. Boy.
Oh, and because of my issues with preterm labor with the twins they want me on weekly progesterone injections for the next 20 WEEKS. I am deathly terrified of needles, I was *this* close to passing out when I got the Rhogam shot and my blood drawn. I'm not feeling great right now

4 boys really aren't all that bad....I will be having my 5th boy and survived 4 boys just fine....I also have 3 girls. Boys are defnately boys with their rambunctious sort of energy and noises and love of potty humor etc. But my boys have also been very loving and generous. And girls, while different than boys, come with their own set of troubles. Like they are so emotional yes even at a very early age! The crying and whining can be monumental. They are about 1000xs more likely to be shouting "mine" than a boy. As they get old you can throw a group of boys together and they pretty much all get along but throw a group of girls together and things are bound to get catty!
Its still very early for and I do know a lot of people who were told one sex early on and a few weeks later they found out indeed that was wrong. Your matern21 will solve that mystery too!
I have a 6 yr boy and a 2 yr old girl. This is our second boy. I'm not going to lie. I was like ohh crap how am I going to survive another boy. Lol. Because my son is nuts! He's 500% energy ALL day long.
