sad....

So I just found out Friday that I'm having a girl. I'm happy and my mom is finally coming around to the thought of me being pregnant. Especially since its s girl.  I noticed my bf hasn't been excited about the pregnancy since I found.out its a girl not a boy. I guess he had plans for the little boy not girl. Im also hesitant about telling the rest of my family because its a girl. They wanted a boy cuz there r too many girls. I feel like this baby isn't gonna get ad much love as love as I originally hoped. I feel horrible...

I recently found out we r having a girl....my hubby has two boys from his previous marriage which we r raising....so of course we along with the big brothers of this baby wanted a girl, and we got it!! Now my mother n law favors boys cuz thats what is mostly on my hubbys side if the family and they r just used to boys and she even asked for proof it that it was a girl and questioned her name (Ava) that we chose....how rude!!!! I am thriled my first kid is a daughter and so is my family.....hopefully his parents will get over it an understand its 100% possible to have a girl or boy!!!

I come from a girly fam too, lots of women! My dad searched for boys and had 2, but surprisingly he's the one telling me today that it means nothing to have a boy. He's had his biggest disappointment  from his boys, and biggest pride and joys from his girls! Now my aunt was exactly the opposite, more boys but wanted girls and is heartbroken looking at their behavior. So at the end of day, sex really doesn't matter just pray to have a healthy and good kid. It might take them a long time to figure out and see the light, but trust me your bf and family will come to their senses sooner or later. As for me, I'm trying to educate my family too, I didn't bother finding out what I'm having and it's just killing them ;)

I was the same way, my hubbys fam has nothing but girls. His sis has 5 girls and this will be my second girl. Im 35wks. Luckily his bro had the only boy grandchild in the fam lol. But itll be fine. Just like the other ladies said. Once ur angel gets here everyone will love her as equally. My hubby wanted a boy this time and so did I, I mean we've had a boys name picked out since our first. But just try to relax. Your princess will be beautiful!! Xoxo

Don't worry. Once your baby girl is here daddy can't help but falling in love.
My hubby's family have lot of girls too and everyone was hoping for a boy. But once my lil baby girl gets here everyone fall under her spells.
Don't let other people spoil your excitement.
Start thinking about playing dress up with your lil angle and all the other cool thing you can do with a girl. Congrats!!!

They will change their minds when they see your sweet little girl. My fiance wanted a boy sooo bad when his ex got pregnant, but she ended up having a girl and he loves her so much, he wanted a girl when I found out I was pregnant. Lucky for us cuz we're having a girl. Girls are so much more laid back.
