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?

Well thank ypu everyone for the responses. I'm very glad to know that I am not alone. It's just very hard.  My boyfriend has known for a couple years that it's a girl I wanted so he has been very supportive of my "upsetness". It just really *****!  I Just wanted pink and girlie and cute!

My husband really wanted a boy cause we already have a girl and I knew he wanted a boy the first time I cried when I told him it was a girl...I only tried again because of him I didn't want any more children cause I knew it would be a girl and sure enough 20wks with girl #2. ...it's awful that I couldn't make him happy but I really don't know what I would do with a boy so I'm getting my tube ties after this one and being done! He will have sons one day when they get married!  Lol (thats what I tell him, btw he doesn't like that comment) good luck I think when we hope for something to much we end up with the opposite!  My brother in law has 4 boys my mil had 3 boys my mom has 2 girls and my cousin has 5 boys find the good side I have the only girls on my husband's side of the family in 2 generations!
