Our guardian angel gave us a . . .

We found out this morning that we are having a little girl. It took five minutes to get her to settle down enough to get a good look, but we finally got a great view and saw the three little lines of a girl.

I think my husband was a little disappointed as this is our first child and he has been calling "him" by name for weeks now. But I think after he got over the initial shock he was excited. 

I'm excited, but it's also very bittersweet. My mother passed away from cancer last year and we were very close. I've had this feeling all along that even though we really wanted a boy, she would give us a little girl. And now that we found out she really did, it's just making this pregnancy even harder. I think it would have been easier to raise a little boy, instead of a little girl who will be constantly reminding me of her.

It's just making it very hard to be excited like everyone expects me to be right now and I just needed to let it out, so thanks for listening!

    Hope you feel better and that your DH is a good support. Losing your mom is a big thing, and always comes to the forefront when major life changes happen, like having a baby. I hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy!

    ok that made me tear up.

    Your mom gave you a little girl so you could have the same closeness she shared with you.

    I couldn't imagine going through pregnancy without my mom. I am so sorry you have to. My heart breaks for you. KNow that your mom is looking down on your new little blessing and will smile.

    You'll be a great mom to your daughter, as your mom was to you!

    Awe, what you said about your mom was so sweet.  I hope your daughter feels exactly the same way about you that you do about your mom; I'm sure she will.

    Just let me first say congratulation on the daughter. Your DH will come around even with the initial first shock of a daughter instead of a son - I would even be willing to bet he becomes a great dad to her. 

    I do wish to express my condolences on your lose - passing of your mother. I am sure you two were very close.

    I know you are excited even with the bittersweet information being given you - I would just like to say here if you thought that much of your own mom. Then you realize she has your love in her heart to have given you one to love as she loved (no loves) you and always will. You just know that mother knows best - what you needed right now! This is after all what you needed something - someone to always remind you of her. I personally want you to think about what you just said "it's just making this pregnancy even harder. I think it would be easier to raise a little boy, instead of a little girl who will be constantly remaining me of her" now do you really think a son would not remind you of her. I do not think so.

    You did need to vent this! Stop a moment - think; your mom as well as God knows what you needed so they gave it to you. You have a great - wonderful day. Pregnancy knowing it will all turn out for the best.

    congrats on your little girl, I am sorry for the loss of your mom.  I haven't lost a parent but I lost my grandmother to cancer years ago, it can be bittersweet to have such a happy event but to not have all your loved ones around.
