And yeah. We were team green and I thought I truly didn't have a preference, but when they announced boy in the delivery room, I thought 'Oh thank god.' Combination of junior high drama and all the trashy clothes from practically infancy.
I have a girl. After we found out, we had to go back in the waiting room before we could see my doctor l. I kid you not, there were four pregnant teenage girls in the waiting room. I just remember telling DH, "I don't think I can do this."
I have a girl and given now I wouldn't change a thing. Come find me in 12 years when she's hitting puberty I'll be begging for a boy.
Same here! The thing H feared most about having a girl was and I quote: "Girls are bitches to each other."
Haven't read the replies following this but YES. GIRLS ARE BITCHES TO EACH OTHER. And it starts so early too! DD already had a couple in school last year that she'd butt heads with.
I dunno, I think boys can be bitchy, too. I think a lot of this bitchiness is learned behavior that shouldn't be tolerated.
I agree 100%. It just seems like the bitchiness DD has encountered with other girls has been more emotionally hurtful...vs the bitchyness I've seen my nephew encounter (he's a couple years older) with other boys, where they just beat each other up. Neither's better than the other but it seems like girls are more sinister (i.e. the girl who DD had a problem with calls other girls fat/ugly/says they have ugly hair/etc...at SIX. Oy.) Just my experience though. None of it should be tolerated at all.

I agree with this. Bitches are bitches, no matter what. My DD and her girlfriends are actually super sweet to each other and everyone. No girl bitches in her class. There are more male bitches They can be MEAN. It's learned and typically stems from home.. no matter what sex they are. I do think girls can be catty as they grow and have more drama, though.
Boy!!! From the moment I knew I was pregnant I knew in my heart it was a boy while everyone around me said it was a girl. At 12 weeks the sonogram technician hinted that it could be a boy. At 20 weeks we were told girl. At 32ish weeks I had a scare and went to L&D and when asked if we knew what we were having I said joking said " Yea, a girl unless you want to tell me differently. " The Dr. Looked at me like I was crazy and asked who told me that. I told her the head honcho, her boss. She said well I can't say anything or I'll get in trouble but do you see that on the screen... it was a penis for sure. Lol. It worked out really great because we only ever had one name picked out and we were going to use it for either sex, so I didn't have to worry about calling the baby one name and having to call it another.
