Baby boy after 2 girls

[Toastypie]

Hello, wondered if anyone has experience of having a little boy after girls? I am so used to daughters I realise I had subconsciously assumed I’d have another girl. But it’s a boy! There’s a 5 year gap between new baby and my youngest and I’m just struggling to picture how life will be with this dynamic. Thanks 😊

Yes no 3 is a boy (no 4 another girl)

Maik difference is when he was i nappies i had to remember to point his penis down. Apart from that its the same as any other human. mine is 19 now and at uni sent a WhatsApp this morning very proud he had worked out the washing machine.

It will be the same as it would have been if the baby was a girl (apart from the nappy situation).

And maybe when they're older you'll need to worry slightly more about bedrooms. But the baby/toddler/primary school age will be the same.

Haha I have the same age gap but a girl after two boys. Like you I assumed it will be another boy although symptoms were different. I remember asking what will I do with with a girl 🤣 congratulations!

It was just lovely having a boy after two girls. He was always up to mischief as a toddler and is now the calmest and cuddliest tween. The girls are interesting teenagers... and he seems like he might give me an easier ride. Also he was the only one who slept with a doll.
It was fun buying boys clothes after two girls too. It's really not been that different having a boy after the girls because all three of mine have distinct personalities.

Yep two girls
Then two boys
It’s awesome
They are all their own people
My girls are just as ruff as the boys and the boys as gentle as the girls
My boys appetite is incredible though haha

I would suggest that you think carefully about how you spend time with them individually. It would be easy to lump them into 'the girls' and 'the boy's. I wonder if the less dominant girl (DD2?) might end up being a bit ignored?

Yes two girls and then a boy.

Yes also had 2 girls then a boy, 6 years between the second girl and baby boy. He's only just coming up to 2 years old but so far the girls adore him, especially the younger one and is really happy being a big sister now. He's very confident and mischievous and gravitates to older girls in the park.He also has a very sweet tooth, probably that's partly genetic but he was allowed a lot more treats a lot earlier than the other two so now he is very determined when it comes to hunting down anything sweet! It annoys the girls a lot when he goes in their rooms, tries to get hold of their stuff because he obviously isn't that careful but they have their own rooms so can shut him out (though he can open doors now).

I love the boy clothes, it's a real novelty. Otherwise as others have said there's no difference really except one has a willy.

I had a boy after girls. The girls have always adored him.

When he was born we tried to be low key about him being a boy as people had relentlessly said perhaps you’ll get a boy this time in front of my girls. They came in to meet him and said “hello little Prince,” and “I’m glad to have a brother as I have enough sisters.”

He likes art and craft and dance.
One of the girls plays a rough team sport and wants a chainsaw licence and to work in a forest. They like watching films together and gaming.

Enjoy your little one.

Oh and another thing, he has FOMO which means he needs to have everything we have, try everything and be part of everything. Also I've felt quite judged as a mother as the girls, especially the eldest, have an opinion on everything. She even reads the baby books and quotes them at me. So that's fun! I think they've learnt a lot through having him though especially through the lockdowns etc which wasn't easy but hopefully you won't have all that to deal with.

I just remembered it did feel strange to be growing a boy after having had girls. I felt like my female body would produce females while the boys would be grown by the males Funny things, hormones.
