I know I'm terrible and don't post here often but I just wanted to share my excitement. We found out this past Tuesday that we are having a healthy little girl after five boys in a row. We played a memory game and found out as a family It was really fun and a little surreal to turn over that last card and see a pink G for girl. My five year old is so thrilled, he wouldn't accept that it could be another brother! So, needless to say we are excited to welcome baby Alice come July. He's also convinced that her name is Susie Alice which I think would be adorable if that was his very own name for her. Congratulations to everyone and I hope time passes quickly so we can hold these little ones:).
Mom to Emma, Noah, Isaac, Asa, Asher, Jonah and expecting baby Alice 7/16
DS gets a little sister!!! I really was excited to have either a girl or boy...but was so surprised how emotional I got once I found out it was a girl! We can't wait!!!!
Had our A/S last week, due date moved up a week and found out we are having a boy! DD is getting a baby brother and is so excited. She tells everyone his name is going to be "Wink"
Just found out this morning that our first child will be a baby girl!!!!! So incredibly shocked, as we thought for sure it would be a boy! We love her so much already ♡♡

@emnoahmom My DH is the oldest of a family exactly like yours, 5 boys and then a girl
Found out at the a/s on Tuesday that we're expecting a healthy baby BOY! We are over the moon with excitement! The last baby on my side of the family was born 17 years ago, and the girls have always outnumbered the boys so this will be a new adventure
We had a check up scan and we are expecting a perfectly healthy little BOY! I was convinced it was a girl because this pregnancy was so different to my last one with my son, so I was a bit shocked. DH just about danced out of the room.
We had our anatomy scan today and although we are team green, I kept looking to see if there was a penis when the tech was measuring baby's femurs, but I didn't see anything. Guess we'll be patient for a few more months I'm just happy to see baby is doing well and heartbeat was nice and strong at 139 (even after my cup of coffee!)
Well ladies, I'm team pink.. for now. Apparently the doctors I go through for this baby don't tell people 100% what they are having. They wouldn't even give me a photo to show it was a baby girl. So private ultrasound on the 5th of March here I come! I wouldn't worry about doing one, but having doubt in my mind about what the sex of the baby is, and having family all the way down in kentucky. Yikes. I don't mind having either one, but can you imagine our baby really being a boy and whoops.. girl clothes? Hehe. Sorry for the long post.. but yep for now, team pink!
I am an ocd planner so I am finding out the sex. I am excited and happy to wait till the half way point for the big surprise. Feels like a great milestone in my pregnancy. One more week!
Im having a boy. Im devistated. Now bring on the "youre a bad person. You dont deserve a child" comments. I miscarried my first, a girl. So i was desperately hoping for my little girl.

First and foremost I am terribly sorry for your loss. One of the things I would encourage you think about though is how have a little boy growing inside of you eager to explore the world and learn and love with you. While feeling disappointed is understandable you having a girl unfortunately will not bring back the little girl you lost.
Maybe this is life's way of helping you heal but in a different way then you had envisioned. I also encourage you to start finding positives about this little boy who has done nothing wrong.

*trigger warning - past loss*
I'm also Pgal. My first daughter was stillborn last March. I know how loss can mess with one's head and emotions. It can really make us think some crazy things. I'm very sorry for your loss.
I can understand hoping for that second chance with your little girl, but it doesn't help even if the next is the same sex. I'm having another girl, and it in no way can replace the one we lost. I will forever think I should be raising two girls right now. This isn't the same baby. She's an entirely different person. It's a struggle to accept that and a very common thing among loss parents to hope their first baby has come back to them, but it's not. This baby in my belly isn't her, she's someone else. Someone else who we will love for being her.
So, my advice to you is to go easy on yourself. You aren't a terrible person and you do deserve this child. This little boy will be the light of your life and he will be his own person. He will love you for being who you are and you will love him for being who he is.
