Can someone tell me it's awesome...

in June 2015 Moms
...to have TWO sons?! Deep down I know it is, and I'm excited for my DS to have a brother, but part of me really wanted a daughter. We are done having kids after this little guy arrives, so the finality of this is hard for me. I LOVE my son more than anything, but I was honestly disappointed to find out we are having another boy. My mother-in-law has always made comments about how she always felt like the fourth wheel once her boys got to a certain age because they were all about their dad. I can't stop thinking about that! I'm sure it will change once he's here and I see my boys together, but I'm struggling to get truly excited!

    We have two girls and thought we were done..sometimes God has other plans. ;) Maybe someday you'll adopt your daughter or have a God daughter. I'm sure my husband feels like a 3rd wheel some days but there's nothing like having the same sex kids to play together :).

    I was the opposite of you, I wanted a second boy! I am so excited! But my interests run more towards stereotypically male interests (contruction, sports) so I may be atypical.


    My DH is one of three boys and they all have great relationships despite their age gaps. All 3 boys have part of their mom's personality and they are fiercely protective of her. (She's awesome.)

    My two brothers are so close that I hope this lo is another boy. Growing up without any sisters I wanted my first to be a girl(but didn't mind either way) but now I have a son I would love to have another. Obviously if it's a girl I won't think twice. But feeling in the minority is nothing new for me, DH has no sisters only brothers the same as me and they all only have sons. Even all the family dogs are male. But regardless of the feelings your having now once you see your baby you know you will fall in love.

    I completely understand where you are coming from. I cried when I found out we were having a second boy...then I cried because I felt bad I was upset. I was very disappointed. I promise you it changes once they get here. For starters I didnt have to buy anything new for DS2 and now they are the best of friends and total mama's boys. I do however worry that I will have the same feelings and reactions if find out #3 is also a boy however if it is it is and that's what I was intended to have! I promise your feelings will change *hugs*

    Edited for spelling because it's hard :-(

    Completely normal! I have heard so many people who were disappointed with the sex of their babies and gone on to love them so much.
    Before I got pregnant I kept thinking, "I need a girl this time." (We have one boy and this will be our last too) Now I am pregnant and have decided that DS will probably love having a brother so I will be happy either way.
    I have decided not to find out though because I figure once they hand that squishy baby to me I won't care either way lol.
    My instincts tell me this baby is a boy though lol!

    If your first son is awesome, then I think chances are number 2 will be awesome too. You'll have two awesome kids.

    But think when your sons are grown you will be the awesome mother-in-law! You'll get 2 daughters you never had!!! My MIL only had DH. I'm the daughter she never had and she treats me amazing. We have gone and got our nails done together, anytime she wants to watch a girl movie she knows I'll watch it with her. Decorating ideas, she comes to me. You are going to raise two awesome boys who will become men and get awesome daughters-in-law. Don't forget someday you might even get granddaughters! This is my second DD so my MIL got to buy all the pink dresses she never got to for DH.

    I'm in a similar boat...thrilled to have another boy for my son, but pangs of sadness when I see little girls in dresses and pigtails.
    I'm certainly not looking forward to being a mother in law - but, I'm hopeful my husbands relationship with his mom will rub off on my boys (he speaks to her almost daily).

    Maybe we can start a fart joke/song thread to help us moms of boys with new material :)

    Glad to see this post... We haven't found out the sex yet and at this point I really don't feel like I'm leaning one way or the other, but I have wondered if I'll feel a little sad or disappointed if it's another boy. I mean, there's no point in worrying about it yet since we won't even find it for a few more weeks. But this made me feel better and reminded me of the up-sides of having boys. :)

    IMO it's ok to have some gender disappointment but I have 3 boys and it's awesome!  Honestly if I could I'd have a baseball team of boy.

    I kept thinking (at first glance) the title of this thread was "can someone tell me IM AWESOME" lol.

    Anyways now that my eyes are working, I do honestly think it's great! I hope to have more children and will be thrilled if they are all boys. I too would like a girl but I'll be happy either way:)

    I've convinced myself that I'm having a girl so if the tech says I'm having a boy this time I will be disappointed but I know I will love the baby no matter what and maybe I am needed as a mom of boys.

    I always assumed I would want a girl. Even after having our first boy I thought I'd want the next one to be a girl. He was a boy too. I absolutely cannot fathom my life any other way and feel so lucky every day to have two boys. They love each other so much and love their mama even more. Our life is so crazy and messy and I wouldn't have it any other way. We are both really, really hoping for a third boy to round out our family. I never in a million years thought I would feel this way - but a houseful of boys is such an unimaginable blessing.

    I think it is kinda natural to want one of each. My friend and her husband kept trying for a boy......5 girls later they stopped trying lol :)
