2nd Trimester

Were you...

disappointed when you found out the sex? I hate to admit this. Before I would say " I just want a healthy baby " but once I found out it was a boy, I am excited, because I did want to give my dad a grandson...but I am still a little upset, I wanted a girl more than I realized. I was always a ballet dancer and I guess I wanted to do dance recitals and stuff. I cant wait for baseball and football games, I love going to my little brothers games but...oh well...Ill love my little man no matter what. Anyone else feel like this????

Re: Were you...

  • I guess you're just going to have to have another! :)

    I completely understand what you're saying though. I want both so badly. I'll be thrilled either way, but I might be a little bit sad too.

  • I completely understand what you're talking about. Some days I want a girl really badly and other days I want a boy really badly. I think either way I will be really excited but also a little disappointed. I don't think that's weird at all, just don't tell your friends or family, they might take it the wrong way.
  • I sometimes have the same feelings but I know that I would feel the same about a baby boy if found out I was having a girl.?
  • i felt the same way too...

    but let me tell you...having a boy is more amazing than i ever could have imagined!  makes me even want another boy!

  • I was really disappointed when we found out it is a boy. I felt like I just don't know what to do with a little man! Smile But now I am so excited about it and I cant imagine preparing for a girl.

    And while out shopping today looking at baby clothes, I was thankful (or my wallet was thankful) that it is a boy and not a girl. With a girl I just would not be able to resist all of the cute, and not necessary stuff (like bows, tights, tons of cute girlie clothes). 

     

     

     

  • I have never posted here, but lurk often. I am pregnant with my 3rd child or should I say 3rd son. I was very heartbroken and disappointed. We KNOW that this is our last and the thought of never having a daughter has affected me more than I realized it would.Because this is our last, I think it "hurts" a little bit more.  While I love our baby and thank God continously for his health, I am still saddened by the realization that a daughter is not in my future. I wish I could give advice, but it is what I feel is an honest feeling. I do not judge you for your feelings, because I feel like you are just being honest. Stay positive.
  • We waited to find out the sex with #1, and when they said it was a boy I was very disappointed. Boys aren't common in my family, so I have zero experience with them. Plus, I was looking forward to all the cute clothes, dance recitals, etc. I spent a lot of teary moments the first few months of DS's life. I got over it and love my little man more than life itself. I won't lie, but when we found out #2 is going to be a girl, I cried happy tears and feel so blessed to have one of each. When I was growing up, I always wanted a big brother. I guess this is God's way of answering my prayers by giving my little girl a big brother to watch out for her as she grows up. Don't worry, unless you're 1 and done, there's always a 50% chance next time :)

  • Yeah, I'm like the original poster.  At first, I was so excited about being pregnant, I really didn't care.  Then as we got further along, I started hoping for a girl.  Found out it was a boy and was seriously disappointed for a long time.  Still sort of am.  I was looking forward to doing all sorts of girly stuff with my little one as she grew up, and I don't know what to do with a boy.  I'm getting better now, and I know I'll love him lots when he gets here.  But this is going to be our only one, so I'm still a little sad.
