OK...so at 10 weeks this baby's HR was 172....Jack's was 169

At 12 weeks the HR was 140's (Doc was vague) Jack's was 140's.

I basically feel exactly the same....same aversions...same Baby Blues...same cramps...(Just all less than with Jack...but basically the same)

I was pretty blue after my appt. I felt foolish for getting my hopes up....and trying to sway.

I KNEW Jack was a boy....and I now KNOW this one is too.

The thing that makes me sad is that I will most likely never have a daughter....as we are really only planning for 2 for economic reasons (and my sanity level )

I am however happy that Jack will have a brother....they will be so cute together.

I told my mom to stop referring to this baby as a "she"...and a cousin sent me over "pink" stuff...and I told my mom to get it out of the house. I never saw it.

I know I know...the HR is only an OWT...but it is one that I believe...and again...I feel no different...I look no different....I JUST KNOW.

I also decided that I will find out gender at the US...but will only tell my mother...and DH of course will be there. I think KNOWING will help me....because last time I knew....and it drove me nuts not to have it confirmed.


thanks for listening.....

It's people like you that always end up having gender opposites, so you're quite possiblyhaving a girl. I never was sure of what I was having, always took with me a bit of hope and then wondered why I even allowed myself to wonder once we saw the penis three time over. Go ahead, convince yourself it's a boy and then all the sweeter the surprise. Let's face it, you have a 50/50 shot any way you look at it.

Don't forget to say your prayers, I believe that will give you an edge up.

To give you some hope, I can't tell you how many women I have seen on the DIBoards that were certain they were having the opposite gender because their pgs were so different from their 1st. All of them were shock to learn they were having the same gender. So, I'm not sold on you having another boy just yet.

Maybe you should reconsider finding out the sex because it may upset you for the rest of the pg. If you find out it's another boy at birth, there won't be any disappointment because you'll fall in love with your baby as soon as you see him. I'm not convinced you're having another boy at all! Keep the faith, Sweetie!

So many women convince themselves that they are having a certain gender base on the similarities or differences of each pregnancy, the heartrate, etc etc. It doesn't mean squat really. You may have been convinced with Jack, and just happened to be right. That doesn't necessarily mean that you are right on the money this time, however.

You may surprise yourself and be totally content with two boys. I am starting to not even want a girl anymore because so much time has passed. It just doesn't matter to me. Maybe you will feel the same way if this happens to be a boy, and you're done. I am not saying that your desire for a girl will go away completely, but it's not a feeling that can't be "lived with." You are such a strong woman, I have no doubt that if you indeed have another boy, you'll live your live the happiest mom in the world..........without ever buying pink.
