You guys didn't give up and kept going till you got what you wanted!! I always try focus on the end result and what a great result you've got! I would suggest let go of all the past negative thoughts and any fears...
Embrace the joy of this beautiful gift. Enjoy every moment and belive that this is it you made it!
Well done to you both can't wait to hear how it all goes.

Thank you all. I've been so emotional since and have made some really bad decisions in the intervening time. Just bad bad calls that may have lost me friends. With the depression of gender disappointment, I just stayed at home for the three months it took to work through. Didn't meet friends. Struggled through work, though I did make some bad calls then too. I was determined all of that wouldn't happen again and had really steeled myself for a fourth boy and actually think I would have coped with that better in the short-term.

I know it sounds totally ungrateful and contrary to all the anticipation. But my emotions now are similar to the GD. My head is fried. I actually can't cope with this shock.

A part of me thinks "too little, too late, I can't enjoy her"

I am exhausted from it.

I know I'll get over it, same as I did the GD. But really wish I could start enjoying the anticipation of having a daughter. But I guess I have to work through the stages. So weird.

Tales you have been through alot of bad GD and disappointment I think quite a few mummas with 2, 3,4 boys have little hope left for that dream daughter!! And are so shocked when it does happen. It will take you time to get there but by the time she is here you will be sooo enjoying her and thrilled to bits . Big hugs you got your dream but it can come with alot of mixed emotions!!! Xxxx

Congrats! I think I'd be too scared to accept it until she was born for paranoia of it being too good to be true. Looks like she is coming though! How wonderful for you

Tales, how are you now? I was totally convinced i was having ds4 & doubted the harmony and scans right up til my dd was born. Even now it feels unreal, and we have "wow she's a girl!!" moments every day. Still feels as if I'm going to wake up and it was all a blissful dream. Don't think of it as too little too late, but that it's the icing on the cake xx
