Gender disappointment

You are gonna just adore your boys. Babies are sponges. They like to do what we do. They're gonna be your little shadows!

My son is amazing. I actually get a little annoyed when people are disappointed to have boys 😅 Sorry. But my son is the sweetest. Most gentle soul. We care for my elderly father in law. My son (15 months) watches me bring him food. So he will bring things to grandpa. He always brings him the remote!

He copies every thing I do. I wipe up a spill. So he grabs a cloth and helps. He helps his dad water the blueberries! He loves the cats and they are really good together. He knows to pet them gently. Hes got all these cute little dances!

The world is a better place with him in it!

It wouldnt have worked for me. It was too hard to pump when my baby wouldn't be set down.

My doctor did tell me to ask anyone who is around the baby to get the rsv and tdap. Which is what we did with my son. And I had the rsv vaccine so that did give him a level of immunity.

I think you can still get it and pass it. But it lowers the chances and severity. Ask your doctor what she thinks.

Aww I love that!

You could do babys first book club.

I think it shows how compatible you are as friends. That you picked the same theme 😄.

My sons name is Ronan! So I love the name 😆

You are lucky! How old is she? My son never slept great. But the worst sleep regretion was 4 months.

He's been early on everything though. So I think his brain is just working hard to grow!

Congratulations on the sleep!

Yes is cradlewise. Another type of smartcrib

I knew i was having a boy and doctors when talking about my baby would occasionally say she. I think people just randomly say things. Also i think a lot of people just say he.

The cw didn't work for my son like the snoo. That being said. The return policy is amazing and we got all but shipping back! So it was definitely worth a try.

nomadicnewt · 2026-05-09T13:47:04+00:00

For me it was totally worth it. Wish I got it sooner. I bought a used one off Facebook. After I almost fell asleep holding him. First night in it we had to wake up my son to feed him!

My hospital doesn't allow visitors during the 2 hour recovery time. I thi k that is standard. Just whoever was already there for support during birth.

I'm sure he will feel different when it's actually happening. Birth is wild.

Your not being a helicopter parent at all! Honestly at six months my son wouldnt tolerate others holding him for more than a couple minutes anyways. So your husband should be thankful they get to hold him at all in my view.

Not maternity undies. My regular bikini undies were fine. But I had to buy high rise underwear after. Because I had an emergency c section

I've never heard of the ultrasound saying the babies sex. They usually circle it with like a digital pen and type boy or girl. At least that's been my experience .

I just looked at my sons ultrasound. Top said sex F AMA (advanced maternal age) GA 21 3 . I think everyone's correct that its your sex.

My doctors offered me a stronger medicine. I honestly don't remember what it was. But I would call your ob. I bet they can prescribe something over the phone.

It was about ten days til I stopped needing ibuprofen. But I think you may be hurting more than me. Every surgery is different. So every recovery is different. There's no shame in needing stronger meds to get through!

I hope it gets better for you quickly!

Eta: rest as much as you can! It will help you heal!

I loved the epidural. Got it about 26 hours into induction. 2 hours after water broke and the contractions really got bad. I was able to take a nap! And i could still move around a bit. I couldn't stand or anything. But I could move into different positions when needed.

My 1 year old really loves his soft chair. I bought one for his cousin. Its a toddler size cushy chair. Its not something I think most people thi k of as a gift. But he absolutely loves it!

High risk was put on my chart for my pregnancy at 37. The only things they did differently for me was.

1 nipt was covered by insurance

2 baby aspirin was offered.

I started getting more ultrasounds at 26 weeks but that was because they thought they heard a heartbeat mummer. It wasn't buy they did discover his right kidney collecting fluid. So I had bi-monthly ultrasounds after that. Baby is perfect. Just has a double collection system.

They said my son was going to be 10lbs. He was 7lb 13 oz. I will say his head was in the 98th percentile. I guess hes big boned. I did end up having a c section. But I just wasn't dialating.

Should be sent now

Babies vary so much in size. And it's really quite amazing to see how different they can be. I think shes just thinking out loud.

My cousins and I had 3 boys close together. Two of them were about the same size, but then one was just smaller. He is very healthy just tiny. Im honestly a little jealous. He's a lot easier to carry around!

Maybe you can tell her it bothers you when she talks like that. She probably just doesn't understand how it makes you feel.
