Sorry I've been so busy I haven't been keeping up. I agree with you 100%. You can have your "preference" of what you want but either way you should be happy and love the child. My husband wanted a girl but when we found out we were having a boy he kept saying "now i have a little fishing buddy" and now that Carson is here he wouldn't change it for the world. Some people are just ignorant and think pregnancy is a chore or right, ITS A BLESSING. I'm so glad you are doing so good darling!!
MUMZTHEWORD - Thursday, 2 Apr
You are so right! I can remember when i was pregnant, we never found out the sex of our baby, was just so glad 2 have finally got pregnant. One thing i do remember saying to my mum tho towards the end was that i felt guilty, not because i wanted either a boy or a girl, just that if i was havin a boy, should it be a girl, and vise versa. Really hard 2 explain how i felt, it was weird. Then i felt guilty 4 feeling like that. I could never have been disapointed, and now iv got my beautiful little boy and i would not change him 4 the world!! x x

Disappointment? Coz they don’t carry the sex they want. If they don’t know what looks like TTC may be they did but as for us no matter what sex it is we need just a health baby. One of my friend she got two children with in 2yrs of her marriage she even don’t know what TTC means at all her first is Girl and the second one too and she was crying when she gave birth to the second one and she told me that she is disappointed with GOD coz she didn’t ask for the girl. And I said in my heart if she is crying for this and being angry at GOD what about me? Yes you are right WE NEED A HEALTHY BABY no matter what the sex is.

You are so right! I would love to have a blessing of a child. There is a chance I will never know the joy of a newborn or a successful pregnancy! How can people be so awful! They news to be thankful for the blessing they have and shut up about disappointments!
mindygallo22 - Wednesday, 1 Apr
I completely agree with you!! I would NEVER be upset about it either way. I go back and forth daily hoping it;s a boy or girl but super excited either way. I do have to say though, one of my patients' today had a 3 year old little girl that was just being a little terror today in the office and that made me a little nervous about having a girl, lol. She would knock stuff over or do something mom told her not to do and look directly at the mom and laugh!
hmm318 - Wednesday, 1 Apr
First off, I would like to congratulate you on making it to the 16 week mark!! Trust me, the time will fly, I speak from experience.*L* I have followed your story for some time even though I am not on your friend list. Your blogs are an inspiration to all of those who are TTC, even those who have children already. I just wanted to say that I firmly agree with you on the whole disappointment disbelief that is seen on the forums. I am a mother of 3 lovely boys, and I am expecting again.We have no idea if it is a boy or girl yet as this little person has been difficult.I get it VERY often,the what are you having? I bet you want a girl? I would be mad after 3 boys if it was a boy... I could go on and on the things that have been said to myself and my husband regarding the sex of this child. We honestly do not care one way or the other.Sure, it would be nice to have a girl, but honestly I don't know if I would know what to do with one after having my sweet boys! Our major concern is happy, and healthy! I am a firm believer in you get what you are supposed to have, and should be so very thankful for the happy healthy children yoou end up with. I just wanted to say thanks for posting what alot of us feel.

i'm actually one of the babies that was cried over when my mother found out i was a girl. lol. she told me how terrible she feels for cryin even to this day when the dr told her i was a girl. lol. you shouldnt cry or be disappointed over the sex. i do get offended when ppl say "IM SO GLAD IM NOT HAVING A GIRL". uhm hello im having a girl! a baby is a blessing regardless of the sex. takes baby boys and baby girls to make this world grow. :) well i totally understand where you come from.
expecting-2b-patient (Cheryl) - Tuesday, 31 Mar
I totally hear you on the sex thing! When people ask me "what do you want, a boy or girl" it kind of bothers me a little. All that we've been through last year, it does not matter one little bit!! Either is a very precious gift!! I will be finding out the sex though, just because I am such a planner....
Ashia - Tuesday, 31 Mar
I completely agree with you I have never cared what the sex was its very exciting to find out so you can name him or her but i would love either sex regardless and i and congrats on 16 weeks i just hit 15
alwayshopeful - Tuesday, 31 Mar
Congrats on getting to 16 wks!!!! And I agree with you too. What does it matter, all children our a gift from God. I am so thankful to be pregnant and will be so excited either way!
samsara625 - Tuesday, 31 Mar
16 weeks fantastic ! Totally agree with you there hun ! I found out the sex of my baby but only because i wanted to know and wanted to buy a few things of the right colour lol I just felt i needed to be able to call my baby he or she but that was my choice and totally understand why people dont find out . I didnt with my first wanted the suprise the first time and wanted to knowthe second . There was no way i would of ever been dissapointed as i totally agree that the main concern you should have is that the baby is healthy and not what sex it is !
Anyway congratulations again on reaching week 16 ! This is the time you can really enjoy your pregnancy now because you have gotten over the first discomforts and not reached the next ones yet lol
Georgesmummy - Tuesday, 31 Mar
i think it's great that yo feel like this. My whole pregnancy i just hoped that my baby was healthy and safe and didn't care at all what the sex was. Some people couldn't believe i didn't wat to find out what i was having but i couldn't understand those that did want to know. it's such an amazing thing to hear the doctors say "congratulations you have a son/daughter". I see you with a girl, Jack can have a sister :)
steph mom of 3 beauties x - Tuesday, 31 Mar
Yeah i cannot agree more! Some women get pregnant without even trying and do appreciate those precious babies but there is other ladies who sometimes take that for granted for them to understand where your coming from would be impossible and it does make me very angry too every child is a blessing and should be fully loved and appreciated! But there is selfish ungrateful people out there too unfortunatley! Anyway Woohoo! for week 16!! Im soo pleased for you xxxxx
aUTUMN - Tuesday, 31 Mar
Congrats on Week 16! I completely agree with you about the sex of the baby... we were hoping for a healthy baby both times, and were very lucky to get one of each... :)
jamesmommy - Tuesday, 31 Mar
i agree with what you said. thats why i never found out the sex of my boys. b/c it never mattered. ")
LizDW - Tuesday, 31 Mar
I couldn't agree more. How selfish to put expectations on a little tiny innocent baby. Especially when there are people out there that don't give two shits about the sex. Obviously these people have never had to go through the heartbreak that we have, so they don't understand, but it should be common knowledge to not complain about having a healthy baby! There was a lady in week 5 talking about how getting pregnant is going to ruin her life plans and she called it "this thing". It was disgusting... I didn't comment because I was too outraged by it. My first pregnancy was a surprise too, but after the inital shock I was ecstatic! Us women are amzing creatures, we MAKE people!! How can that be a bad thing? I don't know... I was really upset for a couple of hours, but I decided not to comment if I couldn't give her any constructive advice. How about don't come to a pregnancy community and piss and moan about getting pregnant. Anyway, I'm glad you made it to 16 weeks, how exciting! The 20's weeks FLY by, I'm not kidding. Hope all is well, take it easy friend!
stepheni775 - Tuesday, 31 Mar
I understand what you are saying. When I was preggo I was hoping for a girl and I got a girl but I would have been happy with a boy to. That is very selfish how people get dissapointed because they don't get the gender they want. All baby's are blessing and that is all that really matters.
firstlittleangel - Tuesday, 31 Mar
OMG I totally agree with you! I have heard a lot of people say that they would be dissapointed one way or another, blows my mind! how about the fact that you were blessed with a little life inside of you! OMG I couldn't agree with you more. I am just happy that I am finally blessed with a little one! I don't care boy or girl as long as it is healthy! Congrats on 16 weeks! how great!! and you look fantastic!
eileen88 - Tuesday, 31 Mar
16 weeks!!! Whooooo hoooooo. How ya feeling?! I bet ur super excited to see ur baby at the u/s!!
EmmaReed84 - Tuesday, 31 Mar
Helen I know exactly what you are saying. I have 2 beautiful boys and I am so thankful for them. I have high risk pregnancy due to old health problems so I have always taken great care of my body during pregnancy, my body is protecting my un-born child I would have done anything to ensure my babies safety. I even stopped going to see my auntie at her house cos she smoked like a trooper and I had given up so I didn't want to be around any kind of smoke. I did everything in my power, then I would see some mums out there with a child already and pregnant again, she would be f-ing and blonding at the child she already has and smoking....I felt like slapping her so hard (if she wasnt preggers lol) It used to make me almost cry thay people do not realise what true blessings children are. I was so happy when you announced you were pregnant and I love hearing you get from week to week, you truely deserve you preious baby and you both will make fantasic parents.
EricandCalebsMommy - Tuesday, 31 Mar
Congrats on 16 weeks ~ and I'm TOTALLY on the same page as you ~ I didn't find out the sex of our little bubby before he was born, and I was OVER THE MOON when he was born...........but I would have been just as far OVER THE MOON if I heard, "It's a girl" instead. Some people don't appreciate the miraculous God-given gift that they have been blessed with. I feel the same way when I read comments that say things like, "My baby never ever stops crying. It's so annoying, etc." GET OVER IT! There are people out there who would give their lives to hear their own baby cry day and night. I pity people who make comments like that ~ but I truly hurt for their poor children ~ it's so unfair to them :( Good for you for speaking your mind!
2morebabyfeet - Tuesday, 31 Mar
right on helen! i hear you loud and strong :) so happy to be a mommy-to-be again and it is such a blessing and miracle that god granted us this special gift to bear children! i had my US done today and although i was antsy to find out the sex of our baby i still held firm and didn't ask to technician to tell us....i'm pretty sure she got a good enough of a glimpse and now knows what we're having but pete & i are still in the dark!!! hehehe soo happy i still don't know-there was one moment when we saw a certain image of baby and thought it was a girl for sure & the next image we thought we were certain it was a boy~can't wait to be surprised!!!!! hope you're enjoying your day!!! take care sweetie!!!
andriette and christians mummy liz - Tuesday, 31 Mar
oh yeah i totaly agree with u hun,i mean as long as i can have a healthy baby when i decide to try again ill be ealated no matter what sex.so well said.
J9 - Tuesday, 31 Mar
Totally agree.. it's important to keep some perspective... this is such a precious journey and when someone gets pregnant it's a miracle considering all the things that can happen... happy 16 weeks helen!
firstmommy08 - Tuesday, 31 Mar
You're right. Those people who are "disappointed" usually never experienced a loss...cause obviously, they would be happy with any baby (boy or girl). You know?
MrsStrickland74 - Tuesday, 31 Mar
Very well said! I could not imagine being disappointed in what sex my baby would be. It would be a blessing just to have one. I am so happy for you though and I have to hand it to ya for not finding out what you are having. I am a planner so I want to know asap. Good luck!
momto4littleangelsn1ontheway - Tuesday, 31 Mar
good for you i absolutely agree with you said,i get so piss of and think how stupid you could be,many women are out there paying thousand of dollars just to hear you're pregnant and these idiots are complaining about the sex,after losing my first daughter that took us 3 years to conceived and then another 3 years before having my son i didn't care if it was a monkey i just wanted to have a baby in my arms and to call my own and true enough the god lord bless me again not once but 4 times and i hope and pray he will do it again,Loubyxxx and Lily are definitely in prayers,you enjoy your day too and just ignore them.
jen - Tuesday, 31 Mar
Well said!! I told everyone that no matter what, I just wanted a healthy baby...boy or girl! And so now that people are asking is we are going to try for another, they keep saying, your going to try for a girl this time?? I just say nope, we will try for a healthy baby! I would be just fine with another boy as I would be fine with a girl, but that time if far off, so I'm not even thinking about it right now! Keep us updated as you find out more about Loubyxxx and her baby...can't wait to see your belly pic later today!!
Savvy - Tuesday, 31 Mar
Hi Girl, i totally agree with u, I am one of the women that didnot care of the sex of the baby, i was just happy to have a baby, gosh we have been married for 15 1/2 yrs with 6 m/c, also my bro -in-law back home and his wife prmoised us that they will let us adopt their 4th child and we bought all the stuff and mailed it home, started to do the paperwork here and then they changed their minds, so I am still praying and thanking God every moment I can that He is giving us this gift and i can feel life in my womb. the weeks are dragging for us...sorry for the long comment, but i got carried away...:) take care and enjoy ur precious preg.
dannii - Tuesday, 31 Mar
of course i agree hun when i got preg this time i wanted a boy so id have 2 of each lol any way she was a grl!! i think most ppl are just expressing a preference over sumthing of which only mother nature has a say in. anyways,,,,,,,,16 weeks already glad ur feeling more urself nearly half way there keep goin xxx
STCT - Tuesday, 31 Mar
Glad everything is going well with you. Exciting for Lily to come. I understand what you mean about people not happy with the sex of the baby. I didn't care either way just as long as they are healthy. Children are a blessing. When I had my daughter it was love at first sight.
ttcbby1 - Tuesday, 31 Mar
YAY! 16 weeks- you must be over the moon with joy! I know I would be haha.. and to comment on the part about how "disappointed" some women are when the baby isn't what they were hoping for.. I totally agree with what you said! I would be excited no matter the sex of the baby.. I just want a healthy happy baby- boy or girl, doesn't matter.. its a shame some people feel that way but such is life.. Take care and keep enjoying every little bit of your pregnancy :-)
| 31-3-2009 - 16 Weeks |  My mood while writing this blog:Happy but going to have a moan! |
Hi ladies
How are you all? It was so amazing to wake up this morning, feel my bump and know that I'd hit 16 weeks, every week just makes me feel so much happier that I've gotten through it and that it's one week less until I meet my precious baby.
For those of you who know Loubyxxx I went to see her yesterday over in maternity and she was doing ok but scared, I felt really sorry for her. I don't have any news yet as I haven't heard from her today so I'm assuming she's busy giving birth! I can't wait to get that text to say Lily has arrived safely. It's so exciting.
Right I'm going to have a moan now, this isn't an invitation for an argument I am merely expressing a concern so if you don't agree with what I'm saying please don't start sending me messages:-
Over the past few weeks I have read quite a lot of comments from women talking about finding out the sex of their babies and the 'disappointment' they have felt when it wasn't the outcome they wanted or that they are scared it will be one sex or the other as their husbands will be 'disappointed' when they find out; when I read these comments I get so angry.
How can anyone be disappointed in any way shape or form when they are having a baby? As long as the baby is healthy that is the ONLY important thing, not what it has between it's legs. What I want to remind these women of are the millions of women out there who can't have children or who have gone through years and years of heartache trying for a baby or gone through miscarriges or any kind of loss and still not had success that would give anything in this world to be pregnant and not give a damn about what sex that baby is - I am one of those women and find it so hurtful to hear of people's 'disappointment' when the baby turns out to be a different sex to what they wanted.
Imagine if that child found out in 10 years time that you were 'disappointed' when you found out it wasn't the sex you wanted, how much would it hurt that child for the rest of it's life.
Every baby is an absolute blessing and not a day goes by that I don't appreciate the fact that I am carrying a child, no matter what sex it is.
Right, rant over. Most of these women are on the forum pages so they probably won't read this blog but I have decided to not comment on those pages anymore as I don't like the content of them. If anyone disagrees with what I am saying then please don't start an argument with me, just delete me from your friends list if need be because if you don't understand what I am saying I'd rather not have you as a 'friend'.
To all my lovely friends on here that will agree 100% with me I hope you are having a wonderful day. Lots of love from Helen xxx

Very well said! I could not imagine being disappointed in what sex my baby would be. It would be a blessing just to have one. I am so happy for you though and I have to hand it to ya for not finding out what you are having. I am a planner so I want to know asap. Good luck!

good for you i absolutely agree with you said,i get so piss of and think how stupid you could be,many women are out there paying thousand of dollars just to hear you're pregnant and these idiots are complaining about the sex,after losing my first daughter that took us 3 years to conceived and then another 3 years before having my son i didn't care if it was a monkey i just wanted to have a baby in my arms and to call my own and true enough the god lord bless me again not once but 4 times and i hope and pray he will do it again,Loubyxxx and Lily are definitely in prayers,you enjoy your day too and just ignore them.

Well said!! I told everyone that no matter what, I just wanted a healthy baby...boy or girl! And so now that people are asking is we are going to try for another, they keep saying, your going to try for a girl this time?? I just say nope, we will try for a healthy baby! I would be just fine with another boy as I would be fine with a girl, but that time if far off, so I'm not even thinking about it right now! Keep us updated as you find out more about Loubyxxx and her baby...can't wait to see your belly pic later today!!

Hi Girl, i totally agree with u, I am one of the women that didnot care of the sex of the baby, i was just happy to have a baby, gosh we have been married for 15 1/2 yrs with 6 m/c, also my bro -in-law back home and his wife prmoised us that they will let us adopt their 4th child and we bought all the stuff and mailed it home, started to do the paperwork here and then they changed their minds, so I am still praying and thanking God every moment I can that He is giving us this gift and i can feel life in my womb. the weeks are dragging for us...sorry for the long comment, but i got carried away...:) take care and enjoy ur precious preg.

of course i agree hun when i got preg this time i wanted a boy so id have 2 of each lol any way she was a grl!! i think most ppl are just expressing a preference over sumthing of which only mother nature has a say in. anyways,,,,,,,,16 weeks already glad ur feeling more urself nearly half way there keep goin xxx

Glad everything is going well with you. Exciting for Lily to come. I understand what you mean about people not happy with the sex of the baby. I didn't care either way just as long as they are healthy. Children are a blessing. When I had my daughter it was love at first sight.

YAY! 16 weeks- you must be over the moon with joy! I know I would be haha.. and to comment on the part about how "disappointed" some women are when the baby isn't what they were hoping for.. I totally agree with what you said! I would be excited no matter the sex of the baby.. I just want a healthy happy baby- boy or girl, doesn't matter.. its a shame some people feel that way but such is life.. Take care and keep enjoying every little bit of your pregnancy :-)
