Jealous of my own sister! :(

[atomic sagebrush]

exactly. I think that the attraction factor is huge. My adult sons both have or had girlfriends and/or crushes, with glasses (I wear glasses) and I have never seen any guy go out of their way to find girls with glasses.

Cool! I hear it often that girls pick out a male that reminds them of their father. But of course the same applies to males (I'm SO not like my MIL! And she would SO say the same lol). Somehow that must be good for the genepool!

Dana-Alicia my husband and I had the exact same conversation not too long ago when I told him the genetic factor has been disproven because his family is a long string of boys! His family pretty much has always followed the HE and THEN some style of eating, all very overweight, stressed out drama constantly. Then one cousin marries a vegetarian and starts up the first line of girls in 30 years and is about to have their 2nd girl. So thats definitely a theory I can agree with of it being lifestyle vs genetics!

That explains why they had so many boys. His family is big meat eaters and the majority of them are overweight.

[Dana-Alicia]

Yup that's a clear example Nahri of how we don't have to worry because a certain gender runs in our family!

Prayin, I don't think being overweight sways blue (it depends on what makes them overweight if I understand correctly, but that's AS department ), but the meat does. So you totally have a good chance with swaying!

Prayin4pink- I have 2 girls. I love them dearly. I do however WANT a boy and the comment your sister made could just be HER way of handling with gender disappointment. It's so taboo to express sadness over a gender preference. She probably had her game face on and said that to make her feel better about it. I was VERY happy my daughter would get a sister when I found out, BUT I also cried because its a curiosity thing too..wondering what parenting the other gender is like.

[prayin4pink]

You know Midwest that's true. I did the same thing with both of my boys. And I never told anyone I wanted a girl so I didn't have to hear the maybe next time comments. I never thought she felt like that though. I'll try to cheer her up and buy her some pink outfits. Might make both of us feel better

Exactly what I came to say. And if she doesn't when you have your girl you'll have something she doesn't -both genders and I bet she'll feel similar to you now.

I'm so sorry about how you are feeling! It can be hard to see others have what we want especially if it seems they got it easily while we had to work or wait for it. I hope you get your baby girl as well

aww hun my sister has a perfectly balanced family 2 of each her dds last and she had gd with her 2nd son she knew exactly how I felt each time it was a boy.....

she said few weeks ago she didn't want anymore and I said I was ttc but waiting a month (I didn't want to get into swaying as I knew she would think I was mad)

so today I went to see her and she tells me she 7 weeks found out last week and happy im happy for her and we've been preg together twice both times she had girls I had both boys so my heart sunk a little thinking here we go again and was super jealous
