@law_and_little1 hey girl!! I can relate to the gut feeling of it being a girl.. and it's a boy! I was a little shocked too - I think I really wanted my daughter to have a sister so that's why - but what helped me was to start picking out nursery theme stuff - we are doing little man cave and it is SO CUTE. I also went and got him some crocodile pants that are adorable and a dinosaur outfit that I love. This made me super excited for my little man. It took a few days for me to let go of my girl name that I Loved.
Its obvious that all we all want is a happy healthy baby no matter what the sex is, but I also think its in some of our natures to lean slightly one way or the other so I wouldn't be too hard on your self

How is your pregnancy going so far?: Meh it's ok. I was having a ton of headaches, but I stopped taking the allergy medicine I was taking and they went away for the most part. I'm also still tired. Ultrasounds are going well. They are really inconvenient though.
Where do you live?: Kansas
Do you work? SAHM?: SAHM, I do help DH a lot with his business so sometimes I feel like I work for him.
Anything going on in your life right now that you'd like to share? Not that I can think of. H is just getting into busy season and I don't know that I'm ready for it.
How is your pregnancy going so far?: Feeling much better in the last few weeks! Although exhaustion is still rough. I am now noticeably pregnant even in my baggy tops. It seemed to happen overnight!
Where do you live?: New Brunswick, Canada
Do you work? SAHM?: I am an education teacher in a federal penitentiary. I teach Math & English to male inmates that do not have a grade 12 education.
Anything going on in your life right now that you'd like to share? Not a whole lot! Work, eat, sleep, repeat!
Thank you both @Twinkiedoll@wabash15. I do love this bump even more than I could imagine I would. I am very glad this growth is gradual so I can mentally adjust. My husband loves it too. I don't feel at all that I'm fat but I'll say something along those lines like people might think I am and he is quick to remind me that I'm not fat, that I'm growing a human. I'm so grateful for that.
@peachy0709 I'm so glad you got the good news! That is fantastic!

How is your pregnancy going so far?: This has been a rough one. HG which is still lingering, the flu, back pain starting way early... but, the little man is healthy and I'm thankful to have a healthy baby. So staying focused on the positive!
Where do you live?: southern US.
Do you work? SAHM?: SAHM, with side jobs in tech and real estate. I planned to be a full SAHM, but found I really enjoy having my own work to keep me mentally occupied & contribute financially. ItsI a good balance for us.
Anything going on in your life right now that you'd like to share? Our 10 year anniversary is coming up, and I'm planning us a kick-butt road trip to celebrate! 10 years just seems like such a long time, I can't believe it's already here! I'm trying to pin down the cities we'll hit on our road trip, but so far our consideration list:
-Gulfport MS - Pensacola FL - New Orleans LA - Lake Charles LA - San Antonio TX - Galveston TX - Mobile AL
We are trying to narrow it down to San Antonio + 4 more cities along our route.
@law_and_little1 definitely don’t be too hard on yourself for feeling shocked or even a little disappointed. Obviously, healthy baby is most important, but it’s natural to hope for one or the other. Being a boy mama is super fun! I’ll parrot @moon1417’s advice and say, go find some super cute boy stuff and give yourself time to adjust to the idea of having a lil man!!
