Default Longing for a baby girl

Hiya,
I've only just joined this fab site and it's great to be able to talk with other people in the same position as me.
I am 32 this month and already have four gorgeous boys Luke 7, Owen 5, Zak 3 and Joshua 14 months. I never really wanted more than 4 children but as all of them turned out to be boys I feel like something is missing from my life.
I look with longing at new born baby girls and try to avoid pink clothing racks in shops as I can't bear to think that I will never be able to buy stuff for my baby girl.
Christmas is filled with cars, footballs, toy snakes and spiders, I want the chance to play with a doll's house or have tea parties with a little girl of my own.
It's starting to take over my life but friends and family (all with mixed sex children) don't understand the longing.
Does anybody else feel this way or am I just weird??

I'm gonna try one last time for my baby girl.
This month we are preparing by taking supplements and BDing every other night to reduce sperm count leaving and not many
So next cycle after AF i'm gonna get IUD removed and try for our pink bundle by having a five day cut off. (I know that sounds excessive but apparently if you already have boys then you need a longer cut off) DH is having hot baths before BD and wearing tight pants!!
This is my last chance cos I really don't want any more than five kids, only really wanted four (two of each!!)
Good luck all you others trying for your baby girl hopefully 2008 will be our year!! x

I would also like to join the pink club. I have two boys and it would be wonderful to be able to experiance the joy of a little "me".

There are lots of methods out there, but I have chosen to go with the chinese conception chart. I know it doesnt work for everyone but, it has proved 100% right for me so far, and I'm banking on the fact that it will be next time too. It does mean that I am not going to get as many chances to concieve but, I really only have one chance left I think and I'm going with what feels right.

I need to concieve in June, July, September, November and December this year, all other months will be out.

Sending Pink Baby dust to all those going for Pink! Good Luck ladies!

Sign me up for pink babydust! I am the mother of FOUR boys. I cried for an entire day when I had my last ultrasound and found out it was yet another boy (hoping I don't get flamed for this statement!). I was grateful and appreciative to have a healthy baby, but I was mourning the loss of what I wasn't going to have - a sweet little princess and all that entails. I really don't want to have another boy, but I'd give ANYTHING to have a girl!! I just wish DH & I had $15K to spend on letting science choose our gender
We're not actively TTC right now, but we're not doing anything to prevent it, either. I'm half-heartedly looking at adopting, but I'm terrified of ending up with a seriously disturbed child (we already have two kids with multiple dx's on behavior issues!).

So who's using what methods (besides the Chinese one mentioned above)? When we started TTC DS#4, I'd *just* started reading on shettles, etc. I was also drinking cranberry juice. We DTD starting 6 days before O and every day until 3 days before O, but I think I O'd late, b/c we DTD 2 days after I was supposed to have already O'd and I believe *that* was the moment of conception based on how long it took me to get a BFP. We also had the most difficult time with having DH, just, um, get down to business without me having *any* pleasure (trying to avoid the big O during intercourse to help get a girl).

So, I'd love to talk details on who's doing what, why and how! And if anyone just needs a shoulder to cry on over mourning pink, let me know. I feel it every single day!

I have become nearly obsessed with my PINK thoughts. I want a little girl so bad! I want it I want it I want it! (I could throw a hissy fit on the floor, but I will save that.) I hope the rest of you are getting your baby girls very very soon!

I've been obsessed for so long (I really wanted DS#2 to be a girl - if he had been, I'd most likely have had my tubes tied and been DONE having babies!) that I have reached a point of burying it as best I can. I still get teary-eyed when my friends with girls post pics on my DIJ board - especially one the other day of my girlfriend's daughter pretending to paint her nails. Times like that, every desire and ounce of sadness over not having a girl comes rushing to the surface and I get upset all over again at what I feel and believe is truly missing from my life.

Anyone else have a very special relationship with little girls in their life? I have virtually no family nearby, but I homeschool and we belong to a co-op. I have one super special little friend, Maeve, who absolutely adores me (and vice versa!). Sadly, co-op's over for the year, so I won't be seeing her weekly anymore

I understand the sadness. When my niece comes over and has a girly day with me and plays dress up she makes me nearly cry because I realize that is all I want out of life. She accidentally calls me Mommy Nic sometimes (because she used to think a Mommy was a girl) and it is heart breaking. I hope I can have a baby girl soon.

I am the opposite. It is my DH who really wants our next to be a girl. I would really love all boys I think. My best friend from childhood just found out that she is pregnant with boy #3, and they have decided that they'll probably adopt in order to get a girl for sure next time.
