At my 16 week appointment I found out I'm most likely pregnant with a girl. The tech said its a 70/30 chance and at my 20 week appointment and make sure but I was so hoping for a boy.
This would be our 5th girl.. we only have 2 boys.. My husband just goes "hopefully our next is a boy" but I don't want a next one. Funny how life goes. We were happy with one and now are on our 7th.

Awww.. I'm sure you'll get use to the idea of having another little girl. Think of how close Charlotte/Zoey and the new baby will be! Awww.. 7 little bundles of joy . Got any names in mind for the new little one ?.

Oh, don't cry! Connie had some good points. I think life is what we make of it---our attitude is so important. You are very blessed! I do hope people don't get pregnant again because they are hoping for a certain sex, or hair color, or whatever. I hope people have children because they want those children, regardless of anything. Hang in there and enjoy your little ones! And big ones!

It makes me sad when people can find something to be disappointed about when they are so blessed to just have a baby in the 1st place. I got pregnant quickly (13 weeks now) but my sister took 4 and a 1/2 years, a tubal pregnancy that required emergency surgery and 4 additional surgeries to finally get pregnant. One of my best friends had 3 miscarriages before she got pregnant with her first- one of her miscarriages was at 15 weeks.
I don't know if that was meant as a joke but it's something to keep in mind. A lot of people (especially on this site) know someone who has or have themselves been deeply affected by difficulty or inability to conceive.

I didn't plan on getting pregnant; I planned to use a surrogate because I have a serious blood clotting disorder. I know that my miscarriage rate increases as my pregnancy progresses. I would be extatic if I can carry my baby to term, boy or girl, as long as they are healthy

UGH! I've typed this thing up twice already!

Auntieof6- I didn't know your name was Connie (until Alisamber mentioned it!) That's pretty, it's definitely not a name you hear around your age (if I remember correctly you're 18-19?)
I know I'm already starting to get use to it possibly and most likely being a girl. We do have some names we like, but are debating if we are going to carry on with our theme..

Alisamber- Trust me I won't get pregnant again to "try for a boy" haha, my body is done making babies! It drives me mad when people try for a specific gender, hair colour, eye colour, ect!
I am pretty blessed with my kids and have an amazing life. Just a shock that she's most likely a she. I had a gut feeling (No pun intended) that she was going to be a he. But I think I'd like to adopt again. I started toying with the idea after baby #6 was born before this surprise pregnancy came about.


Pchepil- I know I'm blessed to be having another baby. I'm fully aware of the fact there are people struggling out there to have children. I have friends who've gone through that. I have a friend who's tried for 6 years and couldn't have a baby so they adopted 2 brothers from Russia (don't quote on me on them being from Russia, I'm not 100%sure, but that's where I think they are from). And I don't want this to sound like I'm attacking you because I'm not because I know it's hard to tell tone online. I hate when people preach to me how lucky I am I got pregnant because so many people can't have kids, like that drives me mad. (not that I'm lucky I know I am but that there are people out there struggling and they can't have a baby naturally) Those people have the option to have children! They can always adopt! There are so many kids out there who need a home and a family. I've adopted 2 of my children and I use to be a social worker. I've seen first hand how many kids there are needing a family. Trust me from experience, I love my adopted children just as much as I love my biological children. There is no difference in my eyes and I know other parents who've adopted children who have said the same thing. Sorry for the tangent at the end.

I never knew that you adopted two of your children. If you don't mind me asking what brought you to adopt them? And if your open to having more children in the future you can always adopt a boy, that way you'd be 100 percent sure it was a boy! Lol. Either way I'm sure you're excited regardless of the gender. I can understand how you feel just probably a bit let down that you got another girl but in the end I think you'll be happy as long as she's healthy. Or at least I hope you would be. And also I don't understand why people feel the need to play the guilt trip game, it's not peoples fault that they can conceive better then others. I don't mean to sound rude, because I can understand how upsetting it can be to not be able to have a biological child of your own or to have your own pregnancy.
Anyways good luck with number 7!!!
