It's a GIRL (but felt a wave of disappointment) anyone else??

I just found out I'm having another girl (my daughter is 13) I'm getting excited but feel bad as we were really hoping for a boy and I didn't realise how much I wanted a boy until they said girl and I cried. I'm so in love with my little bub already but feel guilty that I had this feeling of sadness.

Thanks everyone I was feeling so guilty for being so upset even though I'm feeling so blessed to be having another baby and that she's healthy and active, but now names and everything are so hard everyone was so sure it was a boy we just never really considered the possibility of a girl and now it all feels so daunting again..... But I know once I start buying stuff I won't be able to stop getting gorgeous girly things for our princess :)

I'm having  boy. But wanted a girl. I wasn't too disappointed because my bf wanted a boy. But next time if I don't get a girl I'm gonna be devastated

This is my sixth try and I am now just getting a boy. I have five girls.... I had almost, no I had given up. I thought this was another girl I was calling this baby her and had already named her and got stuff. Went for my ultrasound and it was a BOY.... we are very happy but cried after a bunch of ultrasounds... don't feel bad you had your hopes up.

It will pass. I had two boys prior to the baby I just had 3 months ago. I was so certain it was finally our girl.  Had the name picked out for her and everything. Had no boy names whatsoever. I seen the goods before she even had to tell me. I went to the bathroom afterwards and cried. Now, I can't picture my life without him and can't even picture having a daughter with the name we picked out. Funny how it works out. :)

Yes I felt that and hubby too.
We wanted the boy before the doll.

But that makes me love the lil doll on the way a lot more, because she is my doll. And I feel bad for feeling disappointed at the beginning. (Oops)

Wow. I totally relate. I found out 3 weeks ago that I am having a girl when I felt the whole time that I was having a boy. This is my first child and she will be born the same month that my dad passed away...I just wanted to name my son after my father soooo bad. When I heard girl....I didn't stop crying for days. My husband just tells me all the time to count our blessings. We weren't trying for very long and our baby is growing beautifully and healthy.  So I guess that's what people like us have to keep in mind. That our babies are healthy. P.S.  I have 2 sisters. No brothers. If your baby girls have a childhood like mine...they will be best friends forever with many amazing memories.  Good luck.

I had the same thing just happen. My daughter is 2 and we're having another girl. We only wanted two kids and i hate that we aren't having a boy but I'm slowly adjusting to having another Lil girl.

I have only ever wanted boys. ImI'm having a girl. I was disappointed and I did a 3d ultrasound hoping that maybe the doc was wrong. Nope. Still a girl 8 weeks later. Which I guess is good since I have bought her some really cute clothes. I don't think about it much because I'm just lucky to be able to have a child. This is my second pregnancy so I am very happy this one has worked out so far. I read that it is normal to be disappointed, don't feel guilty about it though. I don't. Cus I know I love her and wouldn't change her for the world.
