I was very upset when I found out that I was having a second boy during my second pregnancy. I CRIED and CRIED for a day. But I realized that the 10 years between my first and second, things had changed, and there are as many nice things for boys as there are for girls, then I got excited. I decided that THIS pregnancy, I would not have a preference, so I wouldn't be disappointed. I found out via blood test that this baby is a girl. I would have been fine either way, because I managed my expectations, but I'm happy to experience having a daughter.

I felt that way when I found out I was having a second son and I was so depressed the whole pregnancy and then when I met him and he was on my chest it all went away! He is now 3 and my gosh I would not trade him for anything. I did try again for a girl third time around and I got my girl! Did you all do the harmony test as well to find out the gender?

We just did our reveal today.  I'm on video saying I want a girl and I don't like part of the boy name we picked... And, its a boy. I'm definitely feeling you.  I'm glad we did the reveal, this gives be time to adjust my expectations and get excited to meet my little man.

Your allowed to be upset by it, as long as you can get urself excited about it a little bit after ur done being sad, and atleast this way your kids will be in two sets so they can play with each other, and you get to plan another little boy nursery I'd start looking stuff up and planning to get urself excited
