So I'm reading through some of the posts, and I see one in which this mother who is 20 weeks pregnant states that she is "devastated" about having a boy because she knows another person who has a boy and that baby is sickly. I wanted to SCREAM!!! While I understand everyone is free to share their opinions and whatnot, what would make someone post something like that on a site where other women would trade everything to be where you are?
I'm not judging her or her feelings, what I take issue with is how, and where, she chose to share them. Maybe I'm extra sensitive because AF visited today, or because it took me three years to have my first. But isn't the point to have a healthy, happy baby? No matter the sex? Especially at this time of year, we should be extra thankful for the blessings we do have, instead of whining and crying about those we don't.
I understand we all say and do things we sometimes regret, especially when we're hormonal. But part of being a grown woman and deciding to have children is learning how to appropriately handle and deal with our negative emotions. It's a reason why 12 year olds shouldn't have children.
So, whoever it was who posted that, while you're "devastated" your having a boy, make sure your child isn't "devastated" to have you as a mother.
Just wanted to drop by and say a BIG HELLO to all the new ladies, and encourage those also waiting for their BFPS that it will happen sometime, probably when we r least expecting it!! So stay blessed, and happy holidays y'all!
. Merry Christmas
