Week 16 : Flip a coin, hope for heads, get tails, cry.

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I decided to ask everyone in our family whether they thought I was having a boy or girl. I thought it might be fun to write down in her baby book that everyone related to us hoped she’d be a boy!

Ha!

There were some family members that made it well-known that they wanted a certain gender. Girl. Boy. Twins! (Yes, for some reason, there were people that were sure I was having twins at 16 weeks.)

Then there were the people that couldn’t decide. They’d stand there, much like an annoying person at a fast-food restaurant that can’t make up his mind (It is a hamburger! Get the freaking hamburger!) going back and forth, back and forth.

Come on, buddy. Boy or girl, you have a fifty/fifty chance of getting it right.

If someone, by chance, decided to ask me my preference, they made a big deal when I told them I hoped to have a girl.

“What if you have a boy,” they’d ask. I’m not sure what they expected me to say. I’d give the baby back? Refuse to go into labor?

Figuring I’d give them what they came for, I’d fire off my snarky comeback: “I’d cry.”

For some reason, nobody ever liked that answer.

I really want a?????? I don't know. My Fiance wants a boy of course and insists he only makes boys, and NO he doesn't have any yet except for our unborn child lol. I think having a boy will be easy and I'll love a girl so we can shop and spend all of daddy's money! I'll be happy either way but I don't want my man feeling like he's less of a man if it's a girl.

Eveyone always told me with my son that it'd be a girl but i knew that he was going to be a boy. I wanted a girl so badly.One day it was two days before the ultra sound and someone said it was a girl i turned to my husband and said lets buy some boy things this is going to be a boy...sure enough it was a boy.

To be honest I'm really hoping for a boy, but I guilt myself out of saying it out loud because if it is a girl, i don't want to be disappointed, or pissed at myself. when people ask what I would rather have I tel them from the moment it was conceived it already was a boy or girl so, i don't like to say, as long as it's healthy...
then I find myself calling it Ethan! oh well hopefully I'll find out what it is my next appointment, I'm really tired of playing the gender game.

I have a feeling im going to have a boy, but I've picked out more girls names and am hoping for a girl more than a boy. Ive actually had more people critisize me for wanting to find out, rather than wait. I just tell them they can have their own baby and do what they want, when they do. Most people dont like hearing that.

I think thats funny about them thinking it was twin at 16 weeks. I got comments about me being farther along than I thought, or carrying twins when I found out I was pregnant at 5 1/2 weeks along!! It was fun telling them though after I found out how far along I was (and correcting them on their prediction) that "you shouldnt pre-judge people on how far along they are because you basically called me a fat@$$!" You should have seen the look on the ladies face. It was priceless.. Stupid thing is she will still get around me and tell me that im farther along than I really am! Good thing I understand that shes just one of those people that have low self esteem and just has to put everyone down around her. *sigh*

Atleast I get to go in 3 wks to find out if it is a boy or girl! Yay! Im getting excited!

we have 2 boys and hubby says this is it, so we are hoping for a girl..for that reason only. I dont care what I have. But I told my step-dad I wanted a girl, and he said he was praying for a boy b/c my 2 sisters-in-law are both pregnant with girls and he doesnt want to be surrounded by all that estrogen. I said that between me and my sister there are 4 boys, and he said it didn't matter..lol. so, I jokingly told him I was praying for twins and he could keep the boy. On the other hand, my sil is hoping I have 2 girls! if you want twins so bad in your family, have them yourself! lol and maybe twins wouldnt be so bad if I hadnt just bought a 5-seater :(

Oh and just one more thing....I really could care less what other people think of my responses to their "boy-girl" inquiries. That's like people who come up to me now, strangers mind you, and place their filthy hands on my expanding middle and ask "do you feel it moving yet?"! My typical response is "yea! Wait....nope, must be gas." Then I fart. I figure if you don't want to know my opinion...don't ask. And what makes people think they have any right to place their hands on you and ask you intimate details about your pregnancy anyway? Then they don't even have the common concideration to spare your ever fluctuating preggo "horror"mones to their uninvited , MEAN retorts! You want to make small talk?

I have 2 older girls (15 and 12) and when I was pregnant the third time and found out that I was having a boy? I did cry. No joke! At that point, I was used to girls! What did I know about boys? Other than they smelled funny? Boys, I've found out, don't look as cute wearing little pink dresses! LOL! My 4th child is a girl(she's 6) and I am now 15 weeks pregnant and am PRAYING for another girl. My son, who is 9 now, I love him to death BUUUUT, I want another girl. Everyone asks me what I hope for ...I tell them, a girl. They respond with the inevitable.."What if it's a boy?" I flat tell them, WITH A STRAIGHT FACE....I will cry. Everyone I know thinks that's funny! Like I said, I love my son but I don't want to do the "boy" thing again! You know how I had to potty train him? I threw cheerioes in the toilt and told him to "sink the boat"! He kept sitting to pee! I know nothing still, to this day, on how to raise a boy to become a "man". I think I sissified him! I was a single parent until he was five and my new husband is trying to undo the damage I've done! If we do have a boy...well....I'll cry for a minute.(can't break tradition!) Then he will pop out and I will fall in love with him just as I did my first son!

Everyone has had their opinion on whether it was a boy or a girl, I am the only one that hasn't had a guess, oddly enough, even though it's growing inside of me! At my last ultrasound I was 11 weeks, they couldn't find the baby's heartbeat with the heart monitor. It looked like a baby this time and not an alien! I cried, not at the fact it wasn't an alien, but more because I saw my baby! They couldn't find the heartbeat because the baby Looked like it was running on a treadmill or something, I attributed my nausea to the baby not being able to be still, and then blamed my husband because he can't! After seeing this last ultrasound, I have this feeling it's a boy. But who knows? It's a 50/50 chance.

But I want a girl to look just like me and one I can dress in dresses. Having a boy would I love it any less? No, just hopefully, it looks like me. My mom prayed I was a boy and so did everyone else but they are glad they had a girl first and I'm glad I was born first.

My favorite comment (after having 2 boys and pregnant with #3) is, "OH, So you are trying for a Girl?!!" No, I want 3 kids. If it's a boy, I'll love him to death. If it's a girl, yeay!!! I would like a girl, just b/c two boys and a husband...too much boy in my house! :) But I would love to know what it's like to have a girl. If it's not, no big deal.

To Elizabeth (#26)- What's so wrong with having a preference? It doesn't mean you're going to give the baby up or sell it on E-bay if you get the other gender- it just means you have a preference. Your logic is like saying all people who have a job should be thankful and shouldn't say- well I'm a pediatric nurse maybe I'd prefer to an ER nurse. It doesn't mean you're not thankful for the miracle of a child, it just means, for whatever reason, you would prefer one gender. I am fed up with women who can't conceive passing judgment on everyone else. You inability to have children doesn't give you carte blanche to criticise though who have been blessed.

I feel the exact same way... I'm counting down - 2 more weeks! But I keep hearing about them sometimes not being able to tell, or telling you one thing and then your baby turns out to be something else! So, even if they tell me what sex it looks like - I don't think I can get too excited and run out and buy boy or girl-specific clothes, etc. you know what I mean?

I am 15 weeks preg and this is a "surprise" pregnancy after having 2 boys 9 and 11 years ago. I desperately want a girl and when people ask I tell them that. And when they say "what if it's a boy?" I say "Well that is why I am finding out. Because I do want a girl. It is something I hold dear to me for my own personal reasons. I have a right to want a girl. If it is a boy I will cry and feel disappointed and no doubt depressed. But it is very normal and healthy to feel this way and I have a right to my feelings. I do not feel I have to justify to others why a girl is important to me just as I do not begrudge others their dreams in life. Rest assured, that by the time the baby comes, I will have dealt with my grief of the opportunity I have lost and will be ready to love and fully welcome the gift that has been given. I find they have nothing further to add when I am done.

She was called a horrible person, she was ridiculed. Someone even told her, they hope she never has children because she'd be a terrible mother! I was ticked off! Just because she "wants" a girl, doesn't mean she won't love a boy just the same. When I aksed her why she wanted a girl, she told me, "I like the girls' clothes better." It's not a big deal to hope for one or the other, so long as you love whatever gender does come out!

I can't stand when people "want" a boy or a girl. When they find out that they are not getting what they want they get upset, and then work on accepting the news. Everyone should just read some websites of women and men who are struggling just to get pregnant. They would be grateful for either a boy or a girl baby. You hear the term "she is expecting" when referring to a pregnant woman. Then you hear about these parents that are expecting to have a certain gender. Get over it! Don't be EXPECTING anything . . . just hope for a healthy child.

I am 16 weeks pregnant right now and I find out what I am having this week. I really want a girl myself and everyone keeps asking me what I would do if I had a boy and my answer was I have no idea! People are not to happy with my answer either but it is good to know I am not the only one feeling like this! Good luck!

I already have twins...a boy and a girl...I hit the jackpot the first time around. So this time it doesnt matter to us either way, but everyone still has their comments and opinions! Most people ask what if its triplets this time! Thankfully no multiples here, just one sweet baby. We're not going to find out this time...I did with the twins b/c there was so much to buy to get ready for two babies, I didnt want to mess it up. This time I have decided I am buying boy and girl outfits to bring to the hospital...that way the little one will have something cute to wear for the pictures and the trip home. I am sure I'll find someone to give the other outfit to!

Maybe it's because of the cultural make-up of my community, mostly Mexican-American, but strangers and co-workers never asked -- they would take one look at me, and say, "So, you're having a boy." I'm not kidding, 100% correct every time, men and women guessing! So this time around, I'm going to ask around before the test to see if this was just a freak coincidence or not.

I feel exactly the same way. I want a boy, and if the doctor says that I'm having a girl, I'll have to go into immediate therapy. People who don't know me, they look at me and forecast a boy. But people who know me, out of spite, say that I'm having a girl. (I think that's the meanest thing ever.) But like I said, if I find out I'm having a girl, I maybe depressed for a while, and have to seek counselling.

i ended up giving in and said i just want a healthy baby when it came to this conversation...cause if i said i wanted a girl they would say i hope you have a boy....and if i said boy they would say "oh its def a girl then" i just wanted to smack them......why ask if you know that you are going to dissagree...

When people ask "so do you know what is it yet?" I just tell them that although we haven't had the official test, we're pretty certain that the baby will be African-American. It's hilarious! The look on their faces is classic! Who knew pregnancy could be so much fun!

Oh my gosh that's hilarious. I went through the EXACT same thing! Everyone in my family thought I was having a boy-even me! But then come to find out it was girl, which was what I wanted anyway. But then everyone felt inclined to ask me "But what if it was a boy?" and my response was something like you said here "I dont know...give it back?" haha

I'm going through the same thing. I'm 16 weeks pregnant and I know that no matter what anyone says when they are pregnant they have in their mind what they want. Anytime anyone asks me and I say "I want a girl" I get in trouble. Everyone says you're suppose to say you want a healthy baby. I do want a healthy baby but I also would like to have a girl. My husband wants a boy. Everyone wants me to have a girl, but I'll be happy either way. I'm not going to lie though when someone asks me what I want. Some people say I'm going to have a girl and some say I'm going to have a boy. I think I'm going to do what you did. I'm going to ask everyone what they think I'm going to have and make a list of it and put it in my child's baby book. Thanks for the idea!!!

I think people always say that same silly remark after you say what you think/want. I know my family always says "what if the next one is another girl". I always laugh and say then I guess I'll have to go again! As if it would make you love them any less!

I wanted a girl with my first, turned out to be a boy. Wanted a girl with my second (and last), another boy! Horrible morning sickness with both, although I had heard about the morning sickness being a girl thing...it wasn't true for me.
