Had our a/s

missmuffin87

We had our a/s scan Friday and I needed a couple days to get over the shock before I could come here and say positive things. We are having a boy, and I am so thankful he is healthy, but I guess I didn't realize how much I was hoping for another girl. I was feeling really sad that hazel won't have a sister and will have to give up her perfect girly room. FI was hoping for a girl as well, mostly for financial reasons, like already having all the clothes and nursery decor. There's definitely an added expense to dressing a boy and making sure their shared room isn't filled with pink birdhouses. So it's like while we were prepared for the possibility, no one ever wants to spend money on things when they already have a bunch of perfectly good things (like 4 under the bed size Tupperwares of clothes) just sitting in their attic. 

But I am feeling a little better about it and getting to a place of acceptance. It's not that I'm one of those people that's all like "I don't know what to do with a boy" I know exactly what to do with a boy, I've nannied one for almost 2 years now. I just miss having a baby girl and I guess part of me was hoping to make up for the first 6 months of hazel's life when I was working 4 jobs and barely got to see her. I wanted to give my new little girl all the cuddles that baby hazel missed out on, but now I'll never have a baby girl again. ::sigh:: it all sounds so petty, I know. I'm hoping that this boy won't be as difficult as I'm imagining. I had such an easy time with hazel, but the boy I nanny has always been much fussier than she ever was, so it kind of has me dreading doing it all over again. 

But I did say I was going to say positive things. We decided on a name, Henry Ezra. I think its sounds like the name of a really adorable musician and a jeopardy contestant. Plus I think Hazel and Henry sounds like the cutest sibset ever. I spent yesterday pinning a bunch of ideas for their shared room and now I'm excited to get started on a whole bunch of DIY projects, but I have to wait till we find out where we are moving to.

Congratulations on the boy! I know it's hard to adjust once you had your heart set on something (I wanted a girl the second time around and had to deal with the fact that I will probably never get to experience having a girl now). But once you see that

Congrats on the boy!  I'm sure it must be tough when you've got your heart set on something.  We're not finding out for that exact reason.  I think I'll be so overwhelmed by giving birth that no matter what the sex is we'll be happy.

Congrats on your little boy!  By the time he gets here you will be so excited.  Just let yourself feel what you're feeling and process everything.  Yay!

Whoa, I can't believe you already had your a/s! It seems like you just got yoru BFP!

Congrats on your little boy!

I completely understand about not wanting to re-buy and being worried about the room-sharing, but I am glad you're feeling be

Congrats on your little man!

It is totally normal and fine to be feeling the way you are.  There are lots of M2M sales around our area...next time I hear of one I will PM you.  Baby boy clothes are usually in really good shape.

Congrats on your boy mm!!  It's perfectly normal and okay to feel that way.  I did as well b/c I was convinced I wanted a girl and everyone told me it was.  C is definitely a boy and he's our only child so we will not most likely ever have

First of all - Congratulations!

Second of all - I love his name!

Third of all - I completely get the shock/acceptance journey.  I was convinced I was going to have a girl; for 3 generations my maternal-side family has had nothing but g

Congrats on having a boy!  And the name is pretty awesome!

TBH, I was a little upset that LO2 ended up being another boy.  I kinda wanted a lil girl to spoil..a shopping partner...someone to pass all my shoes to (lol) so I was a bit dis

I think Hazel and Henry sound adorable together.

I think once he gets here you will be happy to have a boy. You can always sell Hazel's clothes. Check FB for a local online garage sale, or consign what you can. You might be able to use som

Congratulations on your little boy!  Love the name, it does sound great w/ Hazel!

Believe me when I say that I know exactly how you feel...don't know if you remember how upset I was when I found out we were having a girl; I posted about it a

When we had our a/s and found out we were having another girl, I was surprisingly disappointed too.  Thing is, I wanted another girl.  We could reuse clothes, they could share a room easily, etc.  Plus, I loved being a mom of girl

missmuffin87

Thanks everyone for being so supportive and not telling me what an ungrateful beyotch I am. What would I do without you all.  

--halo--

Hazel and Henry is a super cute sibset, I love the name you chose!

Honestly, I've been telling DH that I'm afraid I will cry during our AS if we find out its a boy. Not because I don't want a boy, but because we might never have a girl. I k

I'm sorry you were disappointed. You can still make up for the snuggles by snuggling a baby boy just the same as you would a girl. It will be special in it's own way.

In regards to the clothes, just reuse DD's stuff with DS while you're hanging a
