holy sh!t it's a girl

It's a girl! I'm still in shock, even though i've known all day. Haven't told the family yet. DH and I were hoping for a boy, but when we heard it was a girl we both cried and got super duper excited. It's just so nice to know! But i'm a bit scared. mother-daughter relationships are infamously rocky, and mine was with my own mother. And i'm afraid to pass on my own body image and mental issues to her that I inherited from my mother. Girls are so different than boys, right? I don't worry about my son at all, but now that i know i'm having a girl I will worry constantly that she'll turn out as whacked as I am.
Oh, and i'm determined to buy as little pink sh!t as possible. I don't mind pink at all, but i think purple, red, orange, green, yellow, and blue are great colors for little girls too. And no bows. But I'll probably end up with some bows anyway. (sigh) I love the little girl already, but I'm afraid I'll let her down...

Congrats!
I have a lot of those fears with DD and now with DD#2. I have a good relationship with my mom, but I don't want them to have the self-image issues that I do. I just try to be conscious of them so I don't pass them on
