I am nervous. Tomorrow we find out the gender of Baby E. I've gone from excited to nervous. Of course, I am happy to have a healthy baby inside but I am scared of being told I may just become mama to three boys!! I have vivid images of pink and red and yellow... in my dreams. I talked to a friend yesterday who went through it and it makes me so happy to know that tomorrow I can find out and if more testosterone is in our future than I can grieve it and move on. So stay tuned to find out what parts Baby E has :)

I think you're doing the right thing in preparing ahead of time a bit - Mike always said that he had to make peace with only having girls before Sasha was even born, so that when she was born, all that was done so he could just delight in the beautiful little girl she was. Will you be telling the world the gender, or will you and Dave keep it a secret until the birth?
we will tell the world! thanks karla. i totally agree.. it's the main reason for finding out. i don't want to be surprised and then disappointed...
I wanted to prepare too.. grieve if need be and then enjoy the birth :) Thinking about you!!!
boys can wear red and yellow and pink too! maybe not like strawberry patterned things, but still!
i totally understand....it took me a long time to accept that Caden was a boy!! i had really wanted zara to have a sister.....it's good to have time to let it sink in and then come to a place of acceptance- will be thinking of you!
Either way...another teeny tiny Difrancesco to love! YAY!!!!
OK - seen as this post was written Friday and yesterday was the ultrasound and there is no post telling the world that I baby girl will be joining your household, I am curious if it IS another boy. :) I had to find out what we were having with the twins, for the same reason, if I was going to be mama of 3 boys, I had to prepare myself and didn't want my first memory of them to be the disappointment that I would never be a mommy to a girl. I did always think I would have 3 boys and a girl when I was younger, but our son and two daughters suit us well.
i SO know how you feel. i'm a mom of 3 girls and we found out what we were having with our 3rd. i couldn't bear the suspense!! oh man, there is so much i could write in this comment.
a few things that i have realized with having three kids of the same gender: i LOVE the wow factor. people are always seem to be amazed at three kids of the same gender (haha, thinking of it now, you are probably tired of the wow factor after having twins...and having the public comment on your family all the time) also, i LOVE seeing the bond between sisters (and for you it will be brothers)...no need for your boys to try to figure out a sister ;) and, most importantly, God knows a boy will be perfect in your family. not 'another' boy, or boy #3 or 'just a third boy' but your SON. how special that God picked out this baby for your family & your family alone.
Ok I'm rambling but it's 4:45am :)
I think the biggest thing I had to get over where the comments from some unthinking, insensitive people. Your husband must hate not having a son...your poor husband...etc. No, he was not devestated to have ANOTHER healthy and beautiful daughter. c'mon people!!!!!!
ok really, i will quit now. congrats on your pregnancy & all the best!!! and welcome to the 3 kids of one gender club....it's a good one!!! :)
