I was so sure with my first that it was a boy that when they said girl i didnt believe them. Took a couple times seeing her before i believed it. Now she is almost two and i am expecting another girl. Had a feeling she is a girl but was hoping i was wrong. My husband and i always said only two kids so i cried for a good week or so and felt like i failed him by not giving him a son. But now i am much better and excited for our little girl to get here. A sister is your first best friend. At least i think so.

I was afraid I was going to be but I think I knew I was having a little boy i am thrilled and couldn't imagine anything else. My first born is mommies buddy. He adores me more than anything. Wouldn't give them up for the world. Go look at a bunch of bit stufd. They have some adorable outfits! :)

Be happy. Boys are mommies bestfriends and girls are daddies' angels. Either ways you are getting something precious- a baby!!! And congratsss!!

I had gender disappointment as well.  I thought for sure I was having a boy throughout my whole pregnancy and only imagined having a boy.  But at 20 weeks I found out I was having a girl.  It was hard at first, but now ten weeks later I can't be anymore excited to meet my daughter.  Try thinking of thoughts like he'll be your handsome little man that you're gonna teach how to treat women with respect and that he'll be strong and brave.

I'm with you on this when I first found out I was pregnant I got all excited and everything I would see would be pink I even I had looked into girls names and nursery ideas but I'm 17 weeks now n for some reason I know I'm having a boy and everyone tells me that I'm having a baby boy and the excitement it's different. but I still want a baby girl.

I had those feelings for a few weeks...it goes away..The excitement of having your own child will overshadow any disappointment. When you look into your baby boys eyes for the first time you'll know how silly it was to ever be upset. Boys are notorious for loving their mother in ways that girls can't. They are so sweet and precious and nothing could replace my son not even a daughter. I wanted a girl so badly when I first got pregnant I was so sure I would have one. Now I could care less. Just happy to be a mommy.
