Congrats on Team Blue!! x 1st post updated

Thanks hun. I'm obviously really happy he's healthy, it'll just take a little while to get my head around, as if I'm completely honest I had my heart set on a girl. We went to some baby shops after the scan & I was just drawn to all the cute pink girly outfits! Must train my brain!!!!

It is strange isn't it...when you've convinced yourself the opposite! I was so convinced we were blue and it totally threw me to be told pink! I'm the opposite to you - always drawn to boy stuff.

Personally I was so nervous I wouldn't be any good with a girl; i think it made me want a boy. I've always been a tomboy, never been girly at all, DETEST pink (although it is growing on me) and always found it hard to get on with girls...found so many to be horrible, bitchy, self-centred cows I tend to surround myself with blokes or blokey women!!!

BUT it's amazing how quick it grows on you. I know I'll love this little girl with all my heart - and yes I had a little cry at first - but now I'm chatting to her like anything and I can't wait to meet her....pink outfits and all!!!

Moomin - you;re right it's so hard to get really nice boys clothes... there's nice stuff but there's like one tiny section whereas girls have loaaaaaaads of choice and take up half the shop usually lol

yeah it takes the piss how boys clothes are in the corner and theres rows of girls stuff. ive been shopping in h&m for zane recently spent a fortune but the tshirts are amazing lol


i can now see kicks on the outside of my bump and hes jumping around as i type

 

[AuntBug]

Hi ladies, although I was sure we were having a boy, we're on My DH guessed a "baby", he was right

 

[Kylarsmom]

Congrants Auntbug and Sarah! Both of you got it wrong, how funny! lol!

Sarah- I am the exact same way. Im so happy and love my little boys so much,but i really enjoy the frilly girl stuff. After 1 boy already I was sooo hoping to get to do the tutus and bows this time. But I just learn to completely avoid even looking at that stuff at the stores! It's hard to want a girl so bad but it does not make you love your boy any less! I wouldnt change either boy for ANYTHING in the world! I just have an aching in my heart for a girl that will probably never go away unless we have a 3rd, which I dont know if that will happen or not, still up in the air right now. Anyway just wanted you to knwo you arent alone feeling that way!!

Thanks girls. I had a real good cry on hubby this morning. I feel awful for being upset about it, I should be thankful that he's healthy, and I am, it'll just take a little while to get my head around "she" being a "he"!! (& to train myself NOT to look at all the cute girly outfits & stuff in the shops!!) We were both just so convinced otherwise, I really don't know why!

My brother & his wife just had a girl, so I think my parents are pleased they get their first Grandson, and there'll be one of each at Christmas this year!

Hubby said "Well, we'll just have to keep going until we get a girl.." Ha! Obviously I don't know how I'll feel after labour etc, but I think I would have happily stopped at one if this was a girl. I'd love one of each, but if I ended up with two boys, I really don't know if I could go for third time lucky..!

 

[ProudMommy26]

wow! Congrats on all the beautiful pink and blue bumps. That's brilliant news!!!!!
So happy for all of you.

 

[Mark&Annie]

Congrats everyone on your gender scans!!

I love boys clothes!! They are so cute, especially dungarees. Girls clothes are cute, until they get to about 3 then it's leggings and tops trying to look like little adults, bit creepy IMO! And then there's the washout of PINK! OMG, why does everything have to be PINK?! It's hideous!!! They playground looks like a marshmallow factory exploded over all these little girls!
When my nieces were born it took me ages to find nice things in red and blue, but worth the effort they looked much cuter

 

[moomin_troll]

hahah yeah i agree that the girls outfits are too grown up sometimes.
and i lobe boys tshirts, zanes got so many funny ones lol

 

[mothercabbage]

i wanted a boy at first and i thought i was having a boy...now i want a girl and im positive im carrying a girl....but wont know until monday!! so im sure ill be ok when we do find out the sex... but i was worried in the first few weeks as i was desperate for another little man, i kinda know how you feel hun, but you have 4.5 months to get used to having a little man come along! im sure you will love him just as much as you would have a little girl..

 

[AuntBug]

We're still praying our little girl is healthy. I have a single umbilical artery (SUA) and a soft marker for downs (long bones are 3 weeks behind in growth). We have an amnio on Thursday to check for Trisomy 13, Trisomy 18 and downs. Lots of babies with both SUA and shorter long bones are born perfectly healthy, so we're trying to stay positive, chances are greater that our baby is fine. We'll know results on Monday, it's going to be a long week.

 

[Kylarsmom]

OH no aunt bug! Im so sorry but Im sure everything will be ok! But im so sorry you have to go through all this and the stress involved! PLEASE keep us updated I will be anxiously waiting to here how things go!!! Thoughts and prayers with you all!
