I said "oh I think we will keep all 3 of them." and then she asked, "is it a boy or girl?" I said a boy and she said ooooooh and gave me a thumbs-up. then she asked, "are you through?" (I'm not sure why this was her business and no we are not through, but I said with a forced smile, "oh I don't know, one at a time" and then here's the Best Part... she told me, "you have to remember about college!" ...

I always get "oh I bet you are hoping for a little girl". It just irritates me so bad. Like they are saying my boys aren't enough for me, or implying I am sad I have yet to experience a girl. What really gets me is that people out there really do get sad when they don't get the gender they are hoping for. I like you have had three miscarriages, and all my poor mind can think is please just let my baby get here safely. And then once they are here you can't imagine your family any other way. It was meant to be and has been from the beginning. How could you wish for anything different. Always love your insight....on instagram and your blog. One of my favorites.

Having two girls I am ...YES. exacttllyyyyyyy. ugh.<br /><br />Having two girls I am already getting the pressure of "needing" a boy. Um, no-I don't, actually. If I had another (which we don't even know yet!), and it's another girl, I would be completely and utterly thrilled and I'm pretty sure I'd punch anyone who said anything further about needing a boy. They're our children. We love them no matter the gender and there are families of 4 girls or all 5 boys, etc, and I'm sure those families feel MORE than blessed. ;) Loved this.Katie @ Loves of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841348340467277988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460311140317714777.post-48533646305164581762014-03-27T21:49:56.958-07:002014-03-27T21:49:56.958-07:00Oops, why that came out "teacher", I mea...Oops, why that came out "teacher", I meant t-shirt! ha!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071718537817896904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460311140317714777.post-11680536196724256442014-03-27T21:49:10.485-07:002014-03-27T21:49:10.485-07:00So very true!

It bothers me because it's as if my daughter wasn't enough for him when really she has completely stolen his heart and I watch him fall in love with her over and over. Thankfully, he responds with "I'm just lucky that I have my girl" or "She's so sweet, I'll take 100 more". When we talk about having more children, boy or girl won't matter, but all girls? That would be a blessing, not a tragedy.

My husband and I honestly didn't care if was a girl or a boy, and when we found out he was just as excited as I was to be having a girl. What surprises me is what some people's reactions are when they find out it's a girl - "How is your husband doing? He must be so upset." What?!? We're just happy that we have a healthy baby (especially after having a miscarriage last summer), and why does everyone assume that men would never want a little girl! I'm so glad that my husband is so exicted for her! :) Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764120127257257736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460311140317714777.post-4434722468993358072014-03-27T10:35:57.354-07:002014-03-27T10:35:57.354-07:00I get that comment all the time.

Through God's amazing grace I ended up pregnant with twins, which happen to be boy/girl. People tell me all the time how lucky I am to have a girl. They even say it in front of my other children. One of my older boys asked if I would have been sad if the twins were both boys. mrsuribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608947914630764899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460311140317714777.post-75891026174323233552014-03-27T10:17:09.986-07:002014-03-27T10:17:09.986-07:00Even with two kids (a boy & a girl) people wil...Even with two kids (a boy & a girl) people will say "how nice that you have one of each". I'm like you - I didn't care if I had boys or girls and would have been fine with whatever God saw fit to give us. We also didn't find out the gender before hand. Not many people do that anymore and I think it's one of the most exciting things (and try to encourage people to wait for that awesome surprise but no one ever listens to me!).

"Are you hoping for a boy?" "Going for the boy?" I bit my tongue, but what I wanted to say was, "We're going for a healthy baby." We ended up having our third girl and I couldn't be more thrilled. I would have been just as thrilled with a boy. All I prayed for everyday was that our baby would be healthy.

I don't get mad because I used to be that person too and understand why they ask, but we are so thrilled to have two boys! Brothers! I always say, I'm glad God chooses because I honestly don't know what I would pick. I know He knows best what I can handle (which I'm surprised is 2 boys :)) but it takes the pressure off my shoulders (like I could choose that anyway) lol. I love my boy and couldn't imagine anything different. All children are blessings from God! Boy or Girl! Love this post!

Two months later I found out I was pregnant. When our son Mark was five months old, I found out I was pregnant again. We had another boy, Matthew. I love and adore my two boys, now ages 2 and 3. I was diagnosed with cancer when Matthew was 18 months old and as a result had to have a hysterectomy. I can't tell you how many people ask me "why aren't you trying for a girl", "don't you long for a girl", "two boys...you need a girl to complete your family". While I would have loved to have had a third child, God made that decision for me. Our two sweet boys would complete our family. People need to understand that it's none of their business. None of us have any idea what strangers have been through and are dealing with. I usually nod and smile and say "oh, two boys are just wonderful" but one of these days I am going to share my diagnosis and hopefully that person will think twice before making those kind of comments!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798076626258663788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460311140317714777.post-66938596893830521312014-03-27T07:17:08.775-07:002014-03-27T07:17:08.775-07:00Our family has the same, girl, girl, and then in F...Our family has the same, girl, girl, and then in February we just had a boy.

It's great. :)<br />I have had several miscarriages and the doctors just can't seem to figure out it is going on. I need a response to "So have you looked in to fertility treatments? How about adoption?"<br />What people fail to realize is that response makes it seem like if we don't do one of those things then it's our fault that we don't have kids.
