upset that it's a boy

Found out we are having a boy last night.  I cried a lot and we are on vacation and will be bumming around and shopping a lot. I feel ok now but im worried if I come across little girl clothes or items I'll have a mini melt down in the middle of a crowded place :( yes, before you judge, of course I'm happy that baby is healthy, it is most important but I am so so sad.  I feel like a bad mom, but I can't help that I'm so upset. I already have a 5yr old son and he was happy for a baby brother but even when I was pregnant with him I was hoping for a girl.  I know we can always try again for a girl but I don't know if I want to put myself through this again because with my luck it will be 3 boys.  :(  any one else feel this way or any advice?

I feel your pain. I went for my 1st trimester scan at almost 14 weeks and she said not 100% but pretty sure boy. I kept telling myself it doesn't matter jusy want healthy baby...but now I'm hoping she's wrong...my oldest is getting a brother in August from her dad and stepmom and she has a brother from me already...and she wants a baby sister more than anything...we have our gender appointment next week and I'm hoping for a girl. You're not alone!

Don't feel as though your a bad mom... we all have our preferences on what we want. .. I desperately wanted a baby boy.... and cried when the tech said it was a girl... I have a little girl already and wanted a son... hubby and I decided 2 kids and that was it... so I'll never have a son... with the way this pregnancy has gone... there is no way in hell I would go for round 3

I'm pregnant with my first and due the day after my birthday, I want a mini me so damn bad and I know I'll cry if I find out I'm having a boy. My sister and sister in law have boys,  my cousin is now pregnant with a boy and I just want my little Aubrey. I'm 17 weeks tomorrow and I'm paying for an elective scan at 19 weeks just to find out!  I don't think it's bad to react with tears at all, it happens!

I want a boy soooo bad, so I'm sure it will be a girl lol. Like all of you, of course I will be happy that the baby is healthy, no matter what is is. But teenage girls scare me lol. I don't know that I'm cut out for that. We'll find out in 6 weeks! I also wanna give my man a son. He already has a son and two daughters but there is this special bond he has with his son that just makes my heart melt. I'm sure he is a big softy with his girls too but he just keeps that on the down low, he is very masculine. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has strong opinions about this. I said it at the fertility clinic and I swear I was almost shunned lol.
