Ugh, I'm letting something silly really irritate me.
I haven't told many people I'm having a girl. Just a few coworkers who have pried. Well, almost ALL of them have responded with like... disappointment for me. WTF?! I wasn't hoping for a boy. I honestly didn't care either way. And when I tell them that, they say something patronizing like "Yeah... all that matters is that baby is healthy."
They sincerely think I was hoping for a boy
solely based on the fact that I already have a daughter. I would have loved a boy. Probably would have been just as excited about a boy as I am about a girl. It makes me feel like I've somehow disappointed people by not having a baby of each gender or something.
It's not so much that I care what they think, it's that they think they know what I'm thinking and that what I'm thinking is that I'm disappointed I'm having another girl. Does that make sense?
I'd like to annouce to the world that
I'M THRILLED ABOUT HAVING TWO GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And yes, we're probably going to try for #3 in 4-5 years. NOT because we want a boy. But because we'd like 3 children. And if we have 3 girls, I'll be delighted. If #3 is a boy, I'll be equally delighted!
