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?

Awwe this is my first, his 3rd (he has one of each)
We decided not to know but honestly I want a girl more than anything. I would never tell him that but the other day I purchased a cute pair of leopard print Mary Janes just in case ;)

I honestly want another girl this time, half for the convenience of already having girly necessities and half because I'm not sure how to have a boy! I have four nieces, my daughter, and my nephew. One boy of six! I'm ninety percent sure I'm having a boy though ñ just a gut feeling, and I'm trying to be okay with that.

I have 2 boys and was praying  for a girl this time and of course it is another boy.  I was fine when we found out and everything that is until my boyfriend wanted to go shopping soon as we left the ultrasound and I walked into nothing but baby girl clothes....can I say major meltdown... .I cried and I am sure people thought I was crazy.    Just from experience you will soon be happy it is another boy.  Congrats!

I know how you feel. My whole 20 weeks I was told i was having a boy, we wanted a boy sooo bad. When the lady said it was a girl I broke down crying and left the room lol. My bf told me that it didn't matter, it just meant we can again next time. He's in love with her already and she's not even here yet :) over time you will ease up. It took me a while, I saw little boys clothes and cried cause of it. But my bf was having a blast picking out littles dresses and bows haha so that helped a lot too :) we both are now head over heels having a girl, our little Lahna love!  It's our miracle baby after all!
