So we found out on Wednesday that we're expecting a boy. I was so shocked because I was absolutely adamant this was going to be another girl (OH's family history is full of girls and only two boys going back 35 years) We got my much longed for little girl in 2011 and it was such a breath of fresh air after 7 years and two boys.
When we had our scan I admit I cried, I felt cheated that another boy was joining our family and I just feel like such a crap mum because of it. I love my boys to bits!! This is my OH's second child with me, so he's now got the perfect complete boy girl combination, but I'm struggling with the boy, boy, girl, boy combination. I just can't get it into my head that it's another one especially when the odds of another girl were so high for us! I know I sound so ungrateful given this is my fourth and don't get me wrong I love this one no less than my other three beautiful children. But I just can't get excited about choosing another boy name, more boy clothes and more willies!!!
I still have it in my head this is a girl, despite seeing the very obvious boy parts on the scan and I hate myself for feeling like this. This one was far from planned as my pill failed.
When do these feelings go away?
