1stbabyNovember... I'm a mom of two boys.... love them to pieces. Not that I don't want a girl with #3, but I honestly will be happy either way. There are times my boys are all about daddy... but when it comes to boo boos, night time, scared of new situations, they always want momma! My 2nd is more of a mommas boy than my oldest, but I love it! I can play monster trucks with the best of them....lol. you will find what things you enjoy to play and do with your little man. Once he is in your arms, you won't imagine a better feeling!

I am going threw a lot mentally with this!! Of course im going to be happy with a healthy baby but I chose this time for my mom to be the only one who knows the gender since I have 2 girls already we obviously were hopeing for a son but as im laying there getting the ultrasound down my kiddos were with us and my 7 year old was starring right at the screen as the ultrasound tech was trying to secretly type on the pic the gender and my daugher states its a GIRL!! LMAO The ultrasound tech shut the screen down immediately and says oh honey you will just jave to wait and see. Im 23 weeks and got an ultrasound done at 18 weeks. I will find out at the gender party in about 2 months.. but almost sure its a girl and we are fine with that but in my mind im hopeing she just said that or the ultrasound tech I s wrong!! Lol I really want a son :) but healthy it will be!!

I know exactly how u feel. That was my reaction. I feel absolutely terrible for feeling this way but I wanted the mother-daughter bond more than anything I was so disappointed.

Hearing about this momma boy stuff does make me feel better! My husband is a total mommas boy now that I think about it. I'm just so scared.

To the poster... Please don't worry about having a bond with your son... My sister has three and they are all teenagers now and still come sit on her lap after dinner and curl up on her... Its funny because two of them are actually bigger than her now! But really boys love their mamas something fierce... Ask my hubby he is a mamas boy thru and thru... I'm having my second, first is a daddy's girl so bad but now I'm getting my Mommy's boy and I'm so excited

I already have a boy but I have two step kids one boy and one girl. I want my own girl...one that wants to spend time with me and tell me she loves me or misses me. If I dont get a girl I will be beyond depressed....I long for that mother daughter bond so badly.

I had always wanted a boy but here I am on my forth pregnancy with another girl!!! Everyone thought that me and my husband would be upset but we were so happy I don't think I would have known what to do with a boy after having three girls! As long as she's healthy we are happy!!!

I have said all along that if I knew my hubs and I would have ore than 1 I would prefer a boy 1st. I was due on Fri 6/6 with a girl but she doesn't want to come out yet. Inducing on Wed if she isn't here by then. I grew up w an older brother and liked having him...now...If you would have asked while we were growing up I think I would have had a different story. Lol. He has played a huge role in who I am tho...I'm one of those 'don't take s#!+ from anyone' kind of people. ;) I will just be happy with a healthy and happy baby!

My family is all girls, and I teach a sport which is predominantly female, so I always envisioned glitter and frills.. found out at 20 weeks that I'm having a boy, and while it took me a week to wrap my mind around, I'm SO excited to add some testosterone into the mix! I suppose we get what we NEED and not necessarily "want", but it'll allllll work out!

We are not finding out ahead of time - we will ask not to be told gender at our anatomy ultrasound. When my brand new baby is handed to me after I give birth I doubt very much that there is any way I could possibly be disappointed. Either a brother or a sister for my wonderful son - we will be ecstatic either way at the arrival of a new baby.
And no, I didn't have a gender preference for my first, either. I hoped for a happy friendly healthy child and that's exactly what I got!

I really wanted a girl, I kept having dreams of having a little girl. It's a boy, and I wasn't necessarily upset, I was just bummed. Girls clothes are so cute, and doing their hair seems so exciting. But now, I'm looking forward to the years of Tonka trucks and legos to come. :) my boyfriend was very disappointed. We've been amusing ourselves with talking about our family since we were fourteen, which was almost six years ago, and the whole time it was always a little girl. This baby has been a trickster from the get go though, and he will be a mommas boy

When I got pregnant with my first child I was very disappointed with the idea of having a girl, I really wanted a boy. But after a few weeks I warmed up to the idea and I love having her. So for this second one I was thinking I would get another girl but I was pleasantly surprised and I am having my boy now. So I think it's normal but it will pass.

I'm so scared. Can I take him shopping? Can I take him fishing and hunting? Would he wanna spend that sort of time with me even or rsther With my husband? Will I have a close bond with him as I would with a girl?

I'm terrified now.

I was a little disappointed to find out I was having a girl I always wanted a boy first. I am worried as I am not very girly that I may not be a good mom for a girl I can't do girls hair and when it comes to make up and such I'll be less than useless as I do not even know how to do my own make up or own any for that fact... I'm 22 years old and a very tom boyish girl. But my baby's dad told me he knows how to do little girls hair.. After about 2-3 days I got very excited for a girl even though she will be a total daddy's girl and I wanted a boy to be a momma suck lol

I feel so jealous of those who are on here posting "my princess". And all I can consider is my 2nd probably won't be a girl either.

Ive always really wanted a girl. I have been pregnant 3x. My oldest is a boy, I lost twin boys back in Oct and now im pregnant again with another boy. I think im doomed to live in a household dominated by testosterone at this point. Hubby wanted a boy and is thrilled. I flipped him a bird in the drs office when we found out. Lol I dont regret my sons I just really want a girl and was hoping this one was because im carrying so different and my symptoms have been totally opposite of my other pregnancies. I dont know that hubby and I will try for a 3rd child, we havent decided yet.

That's my situation. I was hoping for a girl so I was guarenteed a girl and the 2nd could be a boy or girl. Found out today its a boy. I'm excited for a healthy baby, but a little upset. I know it'll pass. Was wondering if I was in the same boat as any others.
