And I'm pretty sure 99% of the population believes I won't be complete unless I have a girl. <br />Girl Willow, I was told around 13 or 14 weeks by son's ultrasound showed fetal echogenic bowel syndrome. And that he would likely be born with trisomy 21, trisomy 18, or just not make it. It was scary and I had to wait till by 20 week ultrasound to find out they were completely wrong. I don't know what your outcome will be, but I hope they've made a mistake. Prayers to you!

I am the oldest and only sister of 3 brothers, my hubby has one brother, and his entire side of the family is all boys...I think the last girl was born in the early 50s. Anyway, I was excited either way with our first but was totally planning on having a boy. When we found out it was a girl, I was so surprised. Same way this time. I loved the idea of having a boy but I also loved the idea of our daughter having a sister. Surprise! It's girl number 2. I never saw myself with a house full of girls but that may be what our life will look like...and I love every second of it!!! :)Alicia Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15044064941953601259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604493001487428914.post-35683320250466253972013-03-22T22:06:53.446-07:002013-03-22T22:06:53.446-07:00oh goodness..what lengths we go through to have th...oh goodness..what lengths we go through to have these sweet babies of ours!<br />ALL precious and perfect!<br />Love hearing about your life with boys...I always just thought I'd have a boy..hehe..and now have the most precious girl and couldn't be happier!Tristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06262580980942940258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604493001487428914.post-1740654965091149902013-03-22T21:46:38.810-07:002013-03-22T21:46:38.810-07:00K I am not married and don't have kids (though...K I am not married and don't have kids (though I pray for that a lot) but I love these kinds of posts.

They are sending me in to meet with a "specialist" because baby appears to have a possible cyst...they're saying possible cyst or indicator of Down's.

I agree th...I LOVE that you are posting about this! I agree that our culture is very obsessed with gender, the girl gender especially. I have one 5 year old awesome boy, and a baby boy that was born at 21 weeks four years ago that we lost. After praying, hoping, longing for another baby to fill this hole in my heart I am now pregnant again! We are thrilled beyond words at this great blessing. But it has really shocked me how many people say, "Oh I sure hope you have a girl... they are so much more fun!" Funner to dress, put bows in their hair, blah blah blah. It makes me really sad. Because a baby is a person that God has entrusted us parents with. They come to earth to fulfill their own special mission, not to be someone's dress up toy. They are not dolls, they are people. I am happy to say that I am having another BOY and am so excited to meet him, get to know his personality, and love as best as I can. I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of your story! I love seeing you in the midst of all these boys, and am glad to see you writing about this.

I understand why mamas chat about gender preferences and why people ask those questions....it just doesn't always relate to me and my heart. :) I prayed for a baby for four long years and in His time, my Korean baby boy was in my arms. <br /><br />We're hoping our second baby (when the time comes) is a boy or a girl. ;) <br /><br />Although, I feel so confident as a "boy mama".
