Anxiety about A/S tomorrow afternoon

We are going for our A/S tomorrow and we are SO excited - but at the same time I am having complete anxiety about it as well.  

I had a dream the other night that they told us it was 2 girls and I was so miserable about it - which makes no sense because in the beginning that's all that I wanted.  Now I really want one of each (then Hubby and I are both happy and we wont feel the need to try for more anytime soon!)

I know we have no control over what they are - and we are beyond excited for them no matter what their gender is - but I'm so afraid that I'm going to react badly when they tell us what they are.  

 Please tell me I'm not the only one with this insane fear?

    I think I was already so shocked at the prospect of having 2 that gender wasn't going to phase me regardless.  Honestly, I don't know if I had much of a reaction about gender since I was so focused on their development being okay.  I always felt they would be the same gender though. All of the color did drain from my husbands face when he found out they were both girls. Now, he's all into the pink and princess stuff.

    I think it's totally normal. We had a reveal party and I total anxiety beforehand bc everyone kept guessing one of each and I thought we were having two boys. I didn't want to feel as though I was disappointing people weirdly enough. We ended up being team purple which is amazing. However I know twin parents who are team double pink and double blue and they love it. IMO only, you're going to be head over heels no matter what you have. Enjoy this time!! It's already decided anyway lol. And once you hold those babies you and dh won't remember what you wished for....best wishes.

    I walked out of my A/S and cried and then had a serious ugly cry that night.  I thought they would tell me 2 boys or a b/g but never dreamed they would tell me 2 girls.  I am not a girly girly and had no idea what I was going to do with 2 girls and really had my heart set on a boy.  Now that my girls are here I couldnt imagine anything else and love dressing my little girls up. It's ok to feel happy, sad, disappointed, let yourself feel it and then move on.  Once the babies are here it would be ok if they were purple unicorns, you wont care.

    thank you ladies - I could barely sleep last night because all i could think about was todays appointment - and your right...no matter what they are I'm going to love them to death no matter what...even if they are purple unicorns!  And if I do come home a cry - so what.  Life goes on - and these kids are going to be amazing no matter what.

     Only 1 1/2 hours til we find out!!  I've spent my morning cleaning the house and reorganizing to keep my mind off things! 

    Thanks again for the support - not feeling quite as nuts-o now.

    Oh I can so relate!  I wanted 2 boys so badly and ended up being told 2 girls.  It was a shock for sure but truly you're just happy to hear they are progressing according to schedule.  No matter what's in there it's meant to be!

    Well - turns out my latest dream was right - we're having 2 girls. ?It was bittersweet because I know how much my husband wanted a boy, but after about a hour he came to terms with things. ?I also was a little upset, but not enough to let it effect me. ?Good news is that both of them like to cross their legs - took us almost 2 hours to do the A/S - most of that time was spent trying to get them to move around and uncross their legs! ?lets hope they continue that into their teenage and young adult years!!!?

    You will love it!  I had no clue what I was going to do with two girls but I can't imagine it any other way!  They will have your husband wrapped around their little fingers!  Mine do!  Congrats!!  And your last sentence cracks me up!  So true!
