Hubby really has his hopes up for a girl!!!!

Mrs Ellie · Mar 19th, 2012, 19:41 PM

After 4 boys, hubby is desperate for a girl! And he keeps on rubbing & kissing my tummy and saying things like "My 2 girls". AND i'm not 100% sure if I am even pregnant! If I am pregnant, I don't want him to have his hopes up for a girl, in case we end up having another boy. I'd be happy with another boy, we have 4 boys, we can do boys! I'm not sure throwing a girl into the mix would be good anyways! Don't get me wrong, i'd love a little girl too. But I'm not fussed. But I don't want my OH to have his hopes up for a girl, and then find out i'm not pregnant/expecting boy #5!
What'll I do? He won't listen! He says it's "a paternal instinct". I beginning to think he's a little crazy at this point, you'd think he was insane too if you heard what he's been coming out with today!

Have you taken a test yet?

When OH first ttc for a few months, he would talk to my belly too. I ended up not being pregnant any of those times.

Later we were ntnp, occasionally bringing up a baby, and then got a bfp. Now he always kisses my belly and rubs it when we cuddle.

He wants a boy though, and as for me, I'm happy with either.

FX. Hope you have a sticky bean in there.

A girl would be a lovely addition to your family and a precious jewel for your OH, but I'm sure you both will love your baby if it's a boy.

So glad I'm not the only one experiencing this we also have four boys and my husband desperately wants a girl I'm 7 weeks and honestly if this is a girl I would be terrified it would be like having my first child all over again. I wouldn't know what to do with girl he too swears its his paternal instinct... It would be delightful to be able to get the cute girlie stuff for once but I'm really nervous sorry for babbling just a breath of fresh air knowing I'm not the only one
