Sex of the baby part 2 lol

The clicky poll made me wonder

Where you happy or disappointed with the sex of your baby?

yeladim · February 2012

I was happy with a boy, but would have been equally happy with a girl. DH, on the other hand, was hoping for a boy IMO. He never said so, but I felt it.

Funny enough, if I had known before she was born, I think I might have been slightly disappointed. I really wanted a boy, not sure why. I think I was scared of having a girl because I'm not girly and don't always "get" girls (mostly friends with boys my whole life, tortured by going to an all-girls school as a teen). DH really wanted a "daddy's little girl." When she was born and they said "it's a girl" I was surprised but so thrilled because she was my baby and I would have loved her if she came out green with 10 heads. So I wasn't disappointed at all, but I might have been if I had known before I saw her.

I was lucky and got what I wanted both times! I reeeeeeeeaaaalllllyyyy wanted a girl first. And the second time I really wanted a boy. Of course I would have been happy either way.

Before we knew DD was a girl this is how I would respond when people would ask me;

If its a boy that will be so neat because, in my family we are all girls, in DH family he is the only boy.

If it's a girl, I'll be excited because she's a girl! ) We'll do girly things like get our nails done and shop together.

DH said we are having kids till we have a boy- he's the only one able to pass the name down .

I always wondered this! I was SO desperate in my desire to have a daughter, I mean crazy so. When we found out that Hadley was a boy (about 2 weeks before she was born) I was sad, and I haven't ever told anyone that... I was so sad. I'm ashamed of it so bad still, I would have loved him... I would have, but I just knew that she would be our only one and I was desperate for a daughter. When we walked into the nursery after she was born and I saw her little bottom and the nurse said "it's a girl, do you have a name?" I about passed out from giddiness, seriously deliriously happy.

I'm glad you brought this up b/c I hadn't thought about the joy I felt in a while and I enjoy reliving it.

I was bummed.. I think H was surprised but indifferent. I always pictured myself with boys and never even thought about the possibility of having a girl so it was a little weird.

We're all happy, but we'll definitely try for a boy in the future.

LyndseyLC · February 2012

I thought for sure we were having a boy. So, when we found out it was a girl, at first I was a little sad and disappointed because I felt like my "motherly instincts" were already off..But I am happy we had a girl first. If not I would be worrying and wanting to try again right away. So excited to do girly things as she gets older but for sure girls cost so much more. at least for me because its so hard not to buy all the cute dresses and accessories ect.

AsOctoberFalls · February 2012

I was disappointed. I REALLY wanted a girl. Now, I couldn't imagine it any other way and I'm SO glad I have a son.

swimiz500 · February 2012

SO, so very happy. DH and I both wanted a girl. He was convinced DD was a girl from day 1, and I had myself sure she was a boy (I think so I wouldn't be disappointed). When the doctor told us girl at the u/s, I didn't believe him. And then I went to Carter's and bought every single girl item they sold.

I could have written this myself! I was almost 100% sure that I was having a girl,(I even bought headbands because I was so sure) so when we went for the 19w ultrasound, and they said "boy" I was almost in shock! But once it sank in, I loved him even more because he was MY little boy...and now, He's my world and I couldn't have even seen myself with a girl!

clineak · February 2012

We were both jazzed to be having a girl, but for different reasons. I was the last of 13 friends to get pregnant (like 8 of them delivered in October '10--crazy!), and all but one of them had boys. So, I had already bought all the boy stuff for their showers, and I was bored with it. I wanted a girl just to change it up a little. DH "knew" we would have a girl, so he was excited to be proven right!

dapple25 · February 2012

Thrilled! DH & I have always wanted more than one child but love the idea of having the firstborn be a boy. (One reason being the older protective brother factor.) We also really wanted to pass along his grandfathers name.

aimeelynn116 · February 2012

I had a feeling that we were having a boy but would have been happy either way. DH on the otherhand wanted a boy so badly that I swear he was sweating during the ultrasound while the tech looked at the head and organs, etc. without commenting on the sex until the very end. When she finally said it was a boy he was soooo happy.

Erin&Rod · February 2012

I hate to admit it, but I was so sad to find out I was having another boy. Now that he's here it makes me sick to think that I was even a little bit disappointed.

The u/s tech told us at 12 weeks that she 80% sure that he was a girl so even though I knew it was a guess, I still had my head wrapped around having a girl.

I love having two boys. They love each other so much and I know they are going to be so close forever

starz57182 · February 2012

We were neutral. We were both kind of expecting a girl though, because iterally everyone in my family has a girl first. It goes back 3 or 4 generations and it's weird. So, having a boy would have been a little more surprising and less expected I guess, but we didn't have a real preference. Well, I know my husband kind of wanted a boy more than a girl but now that she's here, there's no way he'd change it. He loves her so much.

Now for the second one....that's a different story. We want a boy. Fortunately, everyone in my family has a boy second, so we'll see!! But we will be happy either way. Goodness knows I'd be set on clothes for awhile if the next is a girl.

AmandaP678 · February 2012

We didn't find out with Timmy, and everyone (myself included )thought I was having a girl. But I wanted a boy first and I was thrilled to have a boy first.

With Nick I found out. In wanted a girl and (this sounds silly) but grieve over not having a girl, I knew I wouldn't have a girl. There hasn't been a girl born in the Aubin family for as long as anyone can remember. Mike has one brother, his dad is an only child and Mike grandfather had only brothers. So the odds were against having a girl.

andy'sgirl07 · February 2012

I really wanted a boy first because I have an older brother that I'm very close with. At 16 weeks they told us baby was a girl and I was super excited. We bought clothes, we picked her name, etc...

At 22 weeks they told us that baby wasn't a girl, the Dr had been wrong and we were having a boy. Even though it was what I initially wanted, I was disappointed. My mind was so set on a girl.

Now, I wouldn't want anything else for our family. Zach is perfection.

This was me exactly. I'm one of three daughters and desperately wanted a girl, though I'd never admit it until I knew that's what she was! I convinced myself she was a boy until the anatomy scan just to save myself from disappointment. I even remember thinking the morning of that it was actually possible it was a girl, but pushing the thought out of my head. The u/s tech said she always asks for guesses and when I said "boy" she said "Nope, that's a girl" and I couldn't believe it. I still don't think I was convinced until she was actually born.

Ah this was me completely! I had a ton of u/s because I had BP issues, and at every. single. one. I asked them to kindly check and see if she was still female. I was honestly half expecting them to say "it's a boy" during the c-section!
