Excited for 3rd Boy?!
FamilyCrew

I feel like I'm the only one in the world who honestly would be super excited to have a 3rd boy. Yet, EVERYONE I talk to assumes it's all about having (or "trying" for) a girl. Don't get me wrong...if this one is a girl I will be absolutely happy! Though deep inside...I feel like I'm meant to be a mom of boys, and that's a-ok with me...I just love my rowdy, ninja-loving, super-hero, sweet as can be little fellas! Is there anyone else out there who's also looking forward to the possibility of a 3rd (or more) boy? 
Re: Excited for 3rd Boy?!
When I told my boss I was pregnant she asked me if it was planned. (Yes, but also none of your business). She and I are both RNs and very used to working closely with confidential information, yet this question didn't even seem to resonate as possibly too personal. Bizarre.
Ive been asked multiple times if I'm hoping for a girl or "there's bound to be a girl in there this time!" I've also been asked "if it is boys, are you going to keep trying for a girl?"
First of all, we weren't trying for a girl. We wanted another baby, boy or girl. We were blessed with 2, and I will not have any disappointment either way.
It annoys me.
People are stupid. And rude. I've also been asked a few times if the twins were conceived naturally. Yes, they were, but that's an abnoxious question and absolutely none of anyone's business.
I have 2 girls and get the opposite of probably hoping for a boy. Whatever it is it's the last. "Even if it's not a boy?!" Yeah even then.... also I will feel kind of sad if I can't use my girl name.
Im really excited either way. One daughter is convinced it's a brother the other a sister.
ETA: After I had my girl, and had a boy already, people would tell me "Oh, you got one of each! So you're done!" Um...what?
DS2: EDD- 09.08.17
Like mom STAHP! We'll be happy either way but we don't NEED a certain sex child to "complete" our family.. our family will be perfect no matter who comes into it. Boy or girl.

*****Everyone is welcome******
On a completely selfish side, I'd like to use my girl name at some point in life lol but I wouldn't trade my boys.
Yes! This may very well be our only child, and several people (mostly in DHs family) keep saying it needs to be a boy so the family name will carry on. No, this baby only needs to be whoever he or she already is. Do't act like our lives will be incomplete without a boy, it's just insulting. Of course, if we have a boy and don't have another, they'll say our life is incomplete without a girl. It's ridiculous.
