Acts 2:38 girlYour boys will spoil her rotten! My DH would not trade his two girls for the world.

As for not playing with cars and such -- my older daughter plays with EVERYTHING from Barbies to rescue heroes (daddy is a ff/emt) to Transformers (the ugly beast ones) -- not to mention cars and trucks. [

] Your daughter will gravitate towards all the toys your boys play with, so hopefully, you won t have to invest too heavily in dolls! [8D]

Since I ve never had a boy, I can t tell you how this will change your family, but all the pink clothes will certainly be different in the laundry! Even if you say you won t drown her in pink, I GUARANTEE you will, because EVERY girl outfit you see in the store is just so darn cute and there are 3 times more girl clothes than boy clothes!! Then, there is the investment in shoes! LOL! I guarantee that your daughter will end up with more shoes than your boys! (OK, maybe I m just a shoe freak) [

Congratulations!!! We wish you all the best!!

Acts 2:38 girlGee.. I would expect 3X more boy clothes than girl clothes... (Heck, the boys out number girls by 3...) Wowh,... [

Lee, you remember that term...spare cash aka spare change?

Forget it. For every dollar we ve spent on DS, we ve spent 3-4 on each of the DD s. If you thought boys were expensive, wait till you see what girls cost.

The worst part is, it s almost all in the nickle & dime category. They boys might ask and beg and plead for a $50 wizzbang, girls will hit you for $1-2 at a time...300 times.

Acts 2:38 girlGatsmommy, I know just what you mean about being nervous! I am a lot more nervous at the thought of a daughter. My boys are laid back and not to whiney. I feel like I m a good " boy" -mommy. Little unsure about the girl thing!

QuoteWhat is the heart rate? I wanted to know

You know, I asked last month, because my boys were ALWAYS right around 140/bpm, highest was 160. So even though we never found out the sex with the other three, I was pretty confident. When I asked this time, the tech said that they don t worry about the heart rate when they can see it beating just fine on the ultrasound (all 4 chambers, etc) I was bummed, but figured it was a girl anyway! Everytime I ve gone in they ve given me an ultrasound for one reason or another, but I think this was the final one!

QuoteCongratulations on having a girl. Did you ever pick a name?

Noooo! Now I really can t think of anything! I have plenty of boys names picked out, but just can t find anything for a girl.
Thanks for all the congrats.. it s really nice to know, although I will really miss the surprise at the end. Nurses and Dr. s always like it more when it s a surprise too! They usually stick around even after thier shift is over or show up the next day to find out! Plus it gives me that much more incentive to PUSH!!! I guess I can console myself knowing that it sure will be good to see her!

Acts 2:38 girlCongrats! How exciting! I bet the boys will love having a little sister! And they aren t that bad. I have 2 DD and 1 DGD and I wouldn t trade them for the world! Never had a son but now I have a stepson who s like a big overgrown 24 yr old who plays with big trucks and a step GS who is cute as a button.

My GD can be a little tom-boy but then she loves to wear dress up clothes and lots of pink. Her mom played sports and I imagine she will to. She does love her Barbie dolls though!

Best part is you know she s going to be a " camper" !

Acts 2:38 girlCongrads...... You will have some good and bad with the girl and boy sibling situation. With only boys or only girls you would miss out on:

" .... I need some privacy...."

" Who colored the wall with my lipstick?..."

" Why do girls take so long in the bathroom?....."

" Ewwwwwwwwwwwww, does she really like boys?....:"

" Ewwwwwwwwwwwww, does he really like girls?......"

" That s stupid" (To any argument for the other gender)

Why does he/she get everything?"

.... and the list goes on and on and on.......

It is really great having both boys and girls. I think it streches our parenting skills sometimes, but I have never regretted any of it at all. Each child, boy or girl, is a unique person and you must do your best to raise them that way IMHO....... You will certainly be blessed with another unique person. Congrads again...

Acts 2:38 girlYou did not hear the best part; you should have seen how my daughter s eyes were bright and proud and how much she was enjoying it when she told us the story.

My first reaction was, let me get that shotgun [8D]

Acts 2:38 girlWhat we gotta pay for the wedding ? Is it our responsibility ?

whippetwrun · Apr 09, 2003, 10:09 AM

Acts 2:38 girlIt s yippee and yahoo ( and a little yikes, too).

Actually we waited to find out about our DD - DS had predicted a girl but I still expected another DS. Wasn t sure what I d do if I had a girl who liked dresses and dolls (I was and still am kinda tomboyish myself).

But we had our DD( 99) and she loves her dolls and dresses, and I am loving having a girl along with DS. Different kind of bond going and I gotta admit I love that she loves dresses and dolls.

I know you and firefyter-emt don t need to be told, but enjoy her, and your sons! And enjoy preparing for her arrival!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
