    I have my anatomy scan today and while I’m really excited to find out if it’s a boy or girl I’m a little nervous that if it’s a boy I might have some gender disappointment. Not that I wouldn’t love baby equally either way but this whole time I’ve been feeling it’s a girl and so has literally everyone else so I feel like I may have gotten my hopes up a bit and will need to rewire my brain/expectations if it’s not a girl😬

    @justyouraveragemama just know it’s normal to have some disappointment. I’m completely over mine and now I honestly couldn’t picture us having another little girl. Plus, my boys are so loving and sweet. My girls are sassy right now and have big attitudes. One argued with me yesterday about what to wear to dance. She has a dress code so the decision is already made. I was so irritated. Basically she didn’t want to wear her leotard but I refused to allow her to go without because when she lifts her arms you could see her stomach. Which is not going to happen. Anyways, I’m feeling blessed I’m getting another boy right now. 😆

    @justyouraveragemama no shame there when we were pregnant with my daughter both me and my husband wanted a boy never even considered it being a girl. We found out early that time around about 14 weeks it was definitely a shock and a little intimidating for me because I’m not girly at all and felt like I had no idea what to do with a daughter we just kinda sat in silence in the car for a couple minutes then my husband said what do you think of Aubrey and we never looked back ❤️

    @emeraldcity603 @AlexisJoy92 I think part of it is I was one of 5 growing up and 4 of us are girls and then my siblings had majority of girl babies(big age gap between us),so growing up I pictured myself with a few girls. And now here I am surrounded by boys and it just makes me want just one girl at least😂 it doesn’t help that SO’s family does not have a record for having girls going back like 5/6 generations so I feel like I need a girl to happen now and then I’ll be okay😅 

    probably doesn’t help that it’s almost April, we have 4ft of snow still on the ground, and DS is going so stir crazy because he wants to go outside but doesn’t want to put snow stuff on because it’s “too hot out”(it’s like 25°) but again 4ft of snow so not an option and he’s driving me crazy😂

    @justyouraveragemama My kids argue with me about gear. My 3 year old will spend 45 minutes crying and screaming because he wants to take it off. I hold my ground and say no. He eventually gets over it and has a great time. You can’t run around without snow pants in snow. And I’m not allowing anyone to roll in mud and muck without mud pants/gear on.

    @emeraldcity603 I don’t even force him to go outside at this point because there isn’t much to do anymore. There are layers of ice with the snow so he can’t even do anything with it😬 I’m just hoping we have a quick melt and we can at least move down to just rain boots!

    @justyouraveragemama We have mud season that comes before anything else. Which is fun and extremely messy all at the same time. It’s taken several years for me to get comfortable with the mess. Lol!

    Ugh so I really don’t want to admit this. Kind of stupid on my part truthfully. I should’ve known. I wanted to be team green and not know boy or girl. My drs office uploads all visits and a summary of the visits on a portal and then emails you that it’s available to read. 

    I just had my anatomy scan done and although the tech told us to look away while looking at the private parts. I was reading the anatomy scan review online and then guess what I saw? Yup. I saw the anatomy of our baby and obviously one has testes one has ovaries.  So it was clear what it was!! FML so much for me keeping it a surprise. 

    I didn’t admit it to my SO that it says it RIGHT THERE. He read it too but I think it didn’t click for him. I don’t want to tell him bc he’s been having his hopes up for a BIG surprise. Keeps saying it’s life’s biggest surprise to wait until birth. And here I am knowing what the surprise is. I thought about telling him. I know he’ll be happy with boy or girl. But I don’t want him to be bummed out that the surprise isn’t during delivery.

    @lmn823 I’m sorry. That’s a bummer that you saw the sex.

    @emeraldcity603 thanks. It is a bummer but I’m happy. My FFC will be not telling my partner. First big secret I’ll have to hide from him.

    @lmn823 I wouldn’t be able to do it. I can’t keep anything from my husband. He is the first person (or second if I tell my BF first) I tell everything to. I totally get not wanted to ruin his excitement about being surprised. It’s a bit of a pickle.

    @emeraldcity603 ugh you’re telling me. I can’t ruin it for him. But I freaking hateeeee hiding anything either. It really sucks and I’m torn. I’m kind of hoping he would just read it again lol and then see it’s not me who ruins the surprise lol 

    @justyouraveragemama wow so you found out!! Omg it’s killing me to keep a secret it’s been less than a day!
