It's ok to feel that way. Don't feel guilty at all.  I remember my aunt going through a tough time when her 4th boy was born, she has so wanted a little girl.  And you know it doesn't mean your going to love him any less, your just a bit disappointed.  I'll tell you though...those 4 boys of my aunts are adults now, and are so so very close.  Something special about brothers.

No thats something you have to express and deal with, its understandable, but give it time... i think lots of women secretly go thru this more then they let on... and it does go both ways...  too make matters worse you have those crazy pregnancy hormones that can make it that much worse... but take some time and it well get better... it doesnt mean you dont love this baby its just a disappointment when you were hoping it was a girl so bad... im sorry and i hope you feel better soon :(

No, you're not alone. My best friend has 2 boys and her entire pregnancy she was told she had her baby girl. The day she gave birth, out came a boy! She had the hardest time looking at him for the first day. But, he's almost 2 months now and she's doing great. When he was born I told her just think, it was a blessing to be able to have a healthy child. (I have lost 4) and it made her realize that no matter the gender, she created that baby and he will always be a part of her.
