sometimes sad..

So I found out at 20 weeks that I'm having a girl, according to the doctors. And I'm happy because the baby is healthy. But sometimes I'm kinda ehh about having a girl. I have 6 younger sisters so I know what it's like to have a baby girl. My husband and I are trying to think of names and I'm frustrated because I want a name that no one has. I have thought about so many names I like but i know someone or someone's baby with the exact same name and I don't want that. I was hoping for a boy because I would love the different experience with boys. Personally I don't like girls only as baby's because they don't do anything but after they grow up and walk and talk and get older they are annoying to me... I think it's because I have so many sisters. Is it bad for me to not be super ecstatic about having a girl?!

It's normal to feel that way or have a particular bias especially when you are pregnant and hormonal. By the time the baby is here and you are holding that sweetbundle in your arms, I doubt you will care whether it's a boy or girl.

I have a little girl. She is the sweetest and I just love her to death. I'm also having another little girl soon. And I couldn't be happier expecially after how the first one turned out :)

Good luck and I hope you an embrace the fact that you are having a girl. And that you can give her the love she deserves.

I think it's normal to feel how you feel.lol but I'm sure it'll change after she's here :)
Oh and finding a name that no one has is almost impossible unless you want to invent a name. There are tons of people in this world, just remember that.
