2nd Trimester
bawled my eyes out over nursery bedding. crazy.
so, we had our big u/s yesterday (scheduled at 4-- had to wait in the waiting room until 7!!!!). and it's a healthy baby boy!
All along, I've been certain that it was a girl, and I had totally imagined how my baby girl's nursery would look, etc. I'd found one "boy" bedding set (the giggling turtles from BabyGap) that I though would be really cute for a boy.
After our ultrasound, I showed the turtle bedding to DH, and he loved it, but then when I told him it was $250 he freaked out. I started bawling that I needed the turtle bedding because all along I thought I was having a girl; now it turns out she doen't exist, and the one and only thing I knew about having a boy was that I had wanted this turtle bedding. And if I don't have the turtle bedding, then it will be as if I hadn't known anything.
Just picture a tear-streaked pregnant lady sobbing on a couch: "I need the turtles!!!" Not one of my finer moments. But we're going with the turtle bedding!

That is my back up bedding too, as I "know" it is a girl!
Aww, congrats on your little boy and getting the turtles that you want!
The hormones can be crazy...When I was at the grocery store this weekend, I cried over every (crappy) song they had playing on the radio. People thought I was a lunatic. It happens! Enjoy the turtles!
same thing happened to us... we were SURE we were having a girl and it turns out he's a boy! and the only boy bedding i like is the safari baby animals one from gap... expensive but i didn't like any other boy bedding!!!
congrats on the baby boy
Ooooh I was so there with you. I was so sure we were having a boy. I had even started picking up a few boy clothes! We are having a little girl... it's not that I'm not excited about her, it's that I'm sad that the little boy I was picturing doesn't exist. If that makes sense.
It will be okay, there is tons of cute little boy stuff (I know, I have some of it sitting in the babies room- useless now! lol)
Awww. I am glad you got to get the turtles.
We had come cute jungle-animal bedding picked out because everyone was so sure it was a boy, but we had to change it up when we found out it was a girl. It was a really emotional experience (for me at least) when we found out the sex. It was a surprise, since I was nearly convinced it was a boy. I was a little sad that it wasn't and all worried that DH would be sad since I know he wanted a boy. But I was also happy that it was a girl and that she was healthy. I don't know how to describe it, but emotions were running high. You aren't the only one!!
Glad you're getting your turtles and I LOVE that bedding!
I cried because I thought the furniture we wanted went up in price (a total of 100 dollars so really nothing to cry over). Then it went back on sale (an hour later - totally weird) and I was fine. DH thought I was insane. Best of all, I was only 16 weeks so I totally could have waited for the furniture.
