I need to have a girl.

Laura_Lee

I will love having either a boy or a girl, but lately I feel like I have so many creative ideas if I had a girl that just won't work with a boy.

For example... Just today I was thinking about what I should do with my wedding dress.  I loved it, it's beautiful, and there is so much sentimental value to it.  So, I thought since the top layer is super soft and sheer, with a beautiful floral print, I'd have it made into a baby blanket for my baby.  Then suddenly I realized that I don't know what I'm having, and my beautiful baby blanket idea simply won't work for a little boy! lol...

I've always been quite the girlie girl, and grew up with 7 (yes, 7) older sisters.  Even though I'll be super excited for a boy just as much as a girl, a part of me wonders if I'd even know what to do with a boy! 

No point to this story I guess... just random thoughts... nevermind me!

Don't know yet... I have an appt on Thursday, and the dr. said we'd schedule the big u/s about 2 weeks after that, so sometime soon at least!

I've been told to use my wedding dress to make a Christening outfit for Mason.  You can still do creative stuff with little boys, just in a different way!

I was going to say this.  There is a girl on 12-24 board that did that with her sons and it is beautiful!

I felt the same way about having a boy. I didn't grow up with boys so I felt like I wouldn't even know what to do with one. My opinion has completely changed though. I'm so excited about my lil man and SO keeps reminding me that he's gonna be such a lil mama's boy (in a good way).

I felt this way too, but I am having a boy. So I am finding new ways to decorate and stuff. Eventually I hope that we will have a girl - just the other day I realized how much I would have loved to either pass down my wedding gown or use it to do something if we had a girl.

Thanks ladies!  I know I'll come up with creative ideas if I do end up having a boy, it's just something I can't quite wrap my mind around right now!  I'll love my child to pieces no matter what it is - it's just funny how my mind automatically seems geared towards the girlie stuff!

completely natural! I felt the same way until our NT scan when the tech said....well you have one prominent little fella on your hands and I absolutely fell in love with Mason!  You're not alone..just start preparing yourself either way; I have a friend who literally almost went into depression when she found out she was having a boy!

This is what we are doing with my wedding dress as well. I just think it is such a neat idea.

I plan on doing this, but it will be a baby dedication outfit.
