So I have been TTC for about 4 months or so and I am questioning myself now.. Do I really want another baby? I have 2 boys and the smallest ( Jesse ) is just such a handful and such a hard baby. I dont really want another baby but I want a little girl so desperately. I feel like I am just rushing having another baby because I want a girl so badly. I dont want to make my boys grow up faster than waht they should I feel like I have missed out on

Personally, I think since you are having some doubts you might want to put it off for the time being. I have two boys and am still unsure if I want to try for a girl for the reasons you are saying. I'm worried about how I'll feel if it's another boy. It will also give your youngest some time to get a bit older, and hopefully be easier to deal with. How old is he?

Is there anyway you can get some help so you can get out more? Can your husband take over for you so you can see your friends? Regardless if you have another baby or not, sounds like you could use some time to yourself! I know I tend to put everyone else's needs before myself, but I've been getting better about scheduling more "me" time.

Well, I told myself this will be our last cycle for a few months. I should be ovulating today so I am staying away from hubby lol.The timing isnt the best because I would be due NOV 29TH if I get pregnant and with school it would be very diffifult because that is one of the last weeks before finals. Then the plus side is I would have winter break. I have to admit, I am nervous about getting pregnant because I might be sooo happy for the first 5 months or so until I find out I am having another boy. What would I do and how will I feel? Will it be for nothing? Ds #1 is 2 and a half and DS

sounds like me a few years ago. I was just so sure I was due to have a girl, having a 3rd boy never entered my mind much. So when it ended up being a 3rd boy...it was bad. emotionally. the baby after him, I waited until I felt I could handle it and just wanted a baby. When I was ttc I pictured my life with the baby being a boy, planned my future with the baby being a boy...you know, what room he would sleep in, what he would look like, how he would play with his 3 older brothers, etc. I did this for quite a while, didn't even think about it being a girl, or even hope it would be a girl in the back of my mind. I then asked myself , do I still want to ttc? lol, the answer was yes. Of course that time I was swaying big time. My advice to help any gender disappointment if your 3rd is a boy....plan your future with this new baby boy, instead of only excitement for a girl. That way if it is a boy, it won't be as much shock. there is a 50 percent chance it is a girl, and you will be happy, but also 50 percent chance boy. and then sway sway sway, any chance to increase for girl the better :) Is there a chance you are pg this month? or are you just waiting to decide what to do? I wish we could just have dh take a pink or blue pill for what ever gender we want and get it, lol....but then I'd be afraid the males species might die out :)

lol totally agree with the pink or blue pill. And population would consist of girls mostly so there would be a lot of women to every man lol. but That is very good advice. It was pretty bad with
