Heidi @ Mt Hope Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I just went in for my 20 week prenatal ultrasound. The boy-pack tagged along. It took the whole appointment for the baby to finally move into a position where the tech could determine whether it is a boy or girl. And it looks like, after 3 boys, we're going to get to figure out how to raise a girl. I thought we only made boys. :lol: This is the first pregnancy that God planned without help from us :tongue_smilie: and I guess He knew who we were missing. And I finally get to use the girl name I've had picked out for over 10 years.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Congratulations!!! I've got a friend here whose 20 week check was the first of May. They, too, have 3 boys (2-, 4-, and 6-years old) and are expecting a girl. Must be something in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidi @ Mt Hope Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 I know several people with *4* boys and a girl (just met a couple Monday evening, in fact), but I've been told that statistically the chances of having a girl after 3 boys is pretty slim (oddly, it resets after 4 boys). Not necessarily the *technical* chances, just statistically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indigomama Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 We just had our fourth child, first girl, in March. Even the midwives told us they thought we only made boys:) She's only 2 months but it's already so different than having the boys. I am loving it! Congratulations!

And now we have kept on having girls--we have 3! Ever since we moved to VA we've had girls, so we tell people something about VA makes it a pink state for us. The boys are ready for us to move, LOL. They think it's time for more boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SproutMamaK Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 You're giving me hope! 3 boys here and hoping to try for another within a year.... honestly, I guess I'm not really HOPING that I'll have a girl, but it'd be nice to buy pink, too. ;) So, any names that you've been waiting 8 years to use? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favorite girl names (minus the one we're using :001_smile:): Sylvie, Stella, Hazel, Violet, Lark, Elle, Wilder, Wren, Adelheid, Ilex, Willow, Annika, and Rilla.

msrift Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Congratulations! I'm in the same boat: three boys (8, 5, 2) and surprise pregnancy with a girl. We still don't really believe it. It is so weird going on the 'pink' side of a store. I've gone from being someone who couldn't imagine having boys to someone who has no idea what I'm going to do with a girl. I'm sure we'll figure it out.;) At least you have names! We've never been able to agree on a girl name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cortana Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Congratulations!!! When we had the 20wk u/s with our little girl, I was so certain it would be a boy that I asked the tech to look again and make sure, lol! She was a long time coming (7 yr age gap between our younger son and our girl) and a total suprise, we honestly thought we couldn't have anymore children. The boys adore their little sister and are super protective of her and spoil her rotten. ;) Dh says he's not worried about boys when she's older, he says he'll just let them try to get past her big brothers, lol!

Heidi @ Mt Hope Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Loretta! LaQuinta? Latoya? Lupita? Hmph. I'm still pulling for Laverne!!! Um, probably not Laverne... But A+ for effort. :lol: We are probably going with Lola Colette. Colette is the name I've had picked out since before #1 came along. I didn't originally plan to go with all Ls. I also didn't ever imagine myself with 3 boys, and once we got started we couldn't stop (since we thought Leif would be the last kiddo).

Melinda in VT Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Congratulations! Our lone girl came smack dab in the middle of the three boys. (She has a twin brother.) If I could offer one small piece of advice: Try not to get your heart too set on pink twirly dresses after the age of two. Mine won't touch pink or dress with a ten-foot pole. I think it might have something to do with the three brothers. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dh almost didn't come, either (trying to save his time off for when the baby actually GETS here), but instead he came and helped with the three boys. I am *so* glad they all came and got to experience that ultrasound, especially since this little girl will be our last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
