Congratulations!!!!!

Boys are amazing - we didn't find out the sex with our son...for the first 6 months of my pregnancy, I was convinced he was a girl and didn't know what I would ever do with a boy.  By the time he arrived, I somehow KNEW he was a boy...and now I can't ever picture having a girl.  But who knows what the future has in store??

And, no, you are NOT a bad person :-)

I am SO HAPPY that baby is looking good - how exciting!

You are NOT a bad person for being upset you are having another boy - sounds like a reasonable reaction to me!  As the other ladies say, you will warm up to the fact you are adding another male to your clan.

Congratulations!

i can relate as well... to a point... i am 33 wks preg w/#4... i do have a girl who is 14... and 2 boys who are 6 and 12... i went in for my 18 wk u/s and she said that she thought it was a girl but wasnt sure... then at 23 weeks i went in and the doc did a quick u/s in the office with a older machine.. she said "girl" cause she said she saw the "hamburger" the 3 lines... well i went in april 8 and they are saying that they see a penis... but said nothing about a scrotum... so i am thinking it might have been the cord... idk, BUT i was prepared for another girl, even though i REALLY wanted a boy.  so now i am torn between going ahead and returning pink stuff... OR keeping it until the next u/s which should be in a few weeks... hopefully they can turn the 3D on so they can be 100% sure of the gender... as i said this is my 4th and i have NEVER been told one gender and then it change... so very frustrating.
anyhow point i am trying to make is that gender disappointment does NOT make you a bad mom, and it is perfectly normal when you have your hopes up for one gender and it is the other...
i was very upset when i was told girl... because i wanted a boy... and then i started crying when i was told boy.. i think partly because i WANT another boy, and partly because i know i have been preparing for a girl...lol
anyhow if you need to talk we are all here for you.

congrats that all seems to be going well.

what you're feeling is totally natural. i was really upset to discover i'm having my fourth boy. but these feelings soon fade and excitement takes over. i know when i hold baby in my arms i wouldn't swap him for the world.

No you're not a bad person. I balled my eyes out during the ultrasound when I found out I was having another boy. I am excited about it now but it took me a while to get here.

Aww, I was hoping for a girl:( But at least you know what to expect. I was very emotional after we found out our 3rd was ANOTHER boy too. I got over it a few days later and began get very excited out him! Dont get me wrong when the tech said boy I actually cried:( Maybe you could try one more time?? We always planned on 4 kids and this time around I swore it was another boy, but instead we were blessed with a girl. After I found out my 3rd was a boy I went out and got a t-shirt for DH that said my 3 sons (after the tv show) and put a picture of the boys on it! He loved it!
Did they say anything about the bleeds??? Im glad baby looked good!!! Trust me you are not a bad person, but give it a little time and im sure you will get excited:)
