It's a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sigh.  I'm really surprised actually.  I felt like I had such a good pink sway.  But apparently it was meant to be....and apparently we only make boys. LOL.  If we decide to have a fourth, I really don't know what I'll do.  Because I have no faith in the Shettles method anymore (I know it's not 100% accurate, but STILL).  I'm sad.  I haven't had a really good cry yet, but I can feel it coming!

This was my sway:

3 day cut-off, BD every day up till the cut-off.  Was taking Ca/Mag/cranberry.  A little bit of the girl diet.

I don't feel like I can give advice anymore on this board....because nothing I did worked. :(

First off, Congrats on your healthy baby boy.

Secondly, I honestly felt like that was me typing that post just over a year and a half ago when we found out Keegan would be baby boy number 3. Only thing is we really hadn't done much swaying like you so I only imagine that makes it much harder.

I will say you will go through up and down days. It will be a whirlwind of emotions. And of course being that you are pregnant it will be harder to deal with those emotions. :(

Know we are here to talk and listen to you vent.

I am so, so sorry. :(

Congrats on your third son, Lindsay!

I hope you feel a lot better after a good long cry. I'm sure that when this little guy pops out you will take one look at him and now he was absolutely made just for your family. I mean, with a sway like that, it has to be fate that he join your family.
And please, stick around here, you had a great sway, and it just goes to show everyone here that nothing is 100%. Besides, we'd miss you too much if you left us now.
Hugs to you as you get through this!

Lindsay, I wanted to add. Keegan has been the perfect addition to our family. He was my most easy going baby came home sleeping 5 hr stretches from the hospital and has just been a joy. Having 3 boys is a blast!

I will say though I still long for a daughter. Not sure if that will ever be meant to be for me but I do. As I am sure you will. *hugs*

Any names?

I'm really sorry Lindsay. I know how you're feeling. When I found out my third was a boy I had an extremely hard time with it. I had bought girl clothes because I was convinced he was a girl and I got so angry. I cried for months. I cried probably every day until he was born and then I was happy again. But I still cry when I think of how I dont know if I'll ever have a girl. I am so incredibly happy with my third boy Wyatt, he's gorgeous and the sweetest little baby ever! I cant even imagine my life without him.

I think you should just cry it out and let yourself be sad. Holding it in hurts too much.

And if you need to talk and cry, I'm here. I know exactly what you're going through, and I'm sure all the other ladies on the board are here for you too.
