Gender

I know I shouldn't be upset but I am and I'm trying not to feel this way.  I really wanted a boy and found out I'm having a girl.  I'll been looking and picking out all the little boy stuff I want.

My first pregnancy..last year..i really wanted a boy. I just knew i was having a boy and by cravings and how i was carrying people kept telling me i was having a boy so my hopes were sooo high!! I got my ultrasound and saw girl and i was a bit disappointed but then quickly looking at her and my husband i smiled and was so happy and simply from then on out was so overjoyed to have a girl.  Im pregnant again and now im ok with whatever i have! My husband believes it will be a girl but im just now praying for a safe healthy baby and pregnancy/recovery for me as it was difficult last go around! God bless, hope u have a great rest of your pregnancy shopping and decorating!

I understand how you feel ma'am... I wanted a girl but im having a boy... but when i saw him in that ultra sound I cried & instantly became overwhelmed with joy... i love my son sooo much... just make the best of it... we don't always get what we want... once you have her I'm sure you'll be like what was I thinking.. don't drown yourself in depression over the gender.. your child deserves the same amount of love you would've showed your son...
