Gender dissapointment is a real thing. Don't feel bad for your own feelings.
I really wanted another girl and cried for a week when I found out I was having a boy. I felt like I was mourning a life that wasn't happening. I desperately wanted my daughter to have a sister.  I cried everytime I went to the store and saw all the girls clothes. My husband was extremely excited to have a boy and I couldn't even tell him how I felt.
I Am Due In 3 Weeks With My Son But It Still Hasn't Sunk in. I am grateful to be able to have another and I love him but I still wish we were having a girl. I know I won't care once he is here and won't be able to imagine my life with a different baby though.

It's normal, don't be hard on yourself. You will love your baby as much as humanly possibly one you get to hold it, regardless of the gender. I wanted a girl for my first child, got a boy. Then I wanted another boy for my second child, got a girl. Now I can't imagine it any other way. God knows exactly what he's doing when he gives us these blessings. I decided not to find out the gender for this third baby because either way I'm going to love him/her unconditionally

Babies are a blessing if they're boys or girls shouldn't matter. I have a 10 month old daughter, and I'm 15 wks with my second. I find out may 18th what I'm having and I couldn't be more excited either way!!

I was set on wanting another girl. Esp since my bf has a boy I thought since this will be our only he needed his little girl. Once gender was revealed a boy I was crushed a little. But now that time has gone on I'm excited to meet my lil man... My son!

I completely understand what you mean. I have two boys and was really hoping for this to be my little girl but God has blessed us with yet another boy! I was a little upset at first but now I see it as I'm the Queen of the castle lol

I always wanted a boy first cuz they are easier, but my fiance really wanted a girl. By the time the ultrasound came that we found out - I was actually rooting for a girl, too, despite my many fears because I knew how happy it would make him. So when the ultrasound came, I really was disappointed, too because I knew he'd be pretty upset about it. He acted like he wasn't at first because he could tell how on edge I was about it but a week or so later it came out and he finally said how disappointed and let down he felt. I know he wishes it was a girl a little bit, but I know by now he's pretty excited either way and I am too! I did always want a boy first, after all - to be able to look after his sister and so I wouldn't go INSANE worrying about someone taking advantage of her. (This tradition unfortunately has continued through the last three generations of women on my mother's side)

I felt exactly as you feel, i wanted a boy and im having a girl. When i feel and see her kick, and when her daddy talks and kisses my tummy i can't help but just to be so blessed to be able to create something so unique, so beautiful. Its my boyfriends and my creation. It'll be hard for a while,  but now am happy my babygirl is happy active and healthy ♡ best of luck!
