Excited mommy...

So today we found out that we are having two little girls! I am over the moon excited as well as our daughter but daddy doesn't seem to be feeling it as much. He never said much about the genders before and I know with our first pregnancy he wanted a girl so badly (and our daughter is daddy's little girl).

He has barely spoke since our appointment this morning and has been fairly cranky with me all day. I feel like I've done something wrong. Anyone else have their partner react oddly or poorly to the gender of their babies? I'm really hoping this mood changes asap.

Sorry for venting. I just wasn't sure where else to go with this.

Yes my man wanted a boy and when he found out its a girl he was pretty shocked and not as excited but i have to say that changed rather quickly. And btw its not YOUR fault hun, technically its his genes at fault for the girls haha ;) the dads genes determine gender! Our women genes have no role in that department. I would just give him time and remind him girls can be into mud, cars, dirtbikes, and bugs just like anyone else :)

Did you know you were pregnant with twins? If not that probably just shocked him a bit is all.
