I am currently almost 20 weeks pregnant. Our first was a girl we lost at 24 weeks our 2nd is a sweet boy who's almost 2. We found out yesterday that this, our last baby, is also a boy. A healthy boy thank God! I was surprised at the grief I feel over never getting to be a mom to a girl on earth. I feel like I am grieving the loss of my daughter all over again it's awful! I am so grateful for even the chance to have a baby again I love this little boy fiercely. I am just broken again over the loss of my daughter. And I feel guilty for even feeling this way. Has anyone else gone thru this where they will not get to be a parent to a baby of the same sex that they lost? And if so do you have any suggestions or advice on how to get thru it? I just want to focus on loving this new little boy inside me. Tia

I can relate. We have a 3 yo DD, then we lost our son, our rainbow is a little girl. We were team green so didn't know what she was going to be but honestly I can say I was kind of expecting a boy. I don't know if that's because of Nathaniel, but I almost
Thank you ladiesyour comments have helped me. I'm trying to embrace this little fella I'm feeling better about it. I was shopping for my sons bday gear yesterday those cute dresses or "pretty like mommy" onesies were a stab in the heart. I'm now wonderi
