Don't fret doll
When I was pregnant with my son I desperately wanted a girl. I am very girly and I will admit, a lot of the reasons I wanted/want a daughter are very petty, but I don't think anybody needs to justify their feelings - feelings cannot be helped, they just are.
I just knew I was having a little boy - the same way a lot of the other posters in this thread have said - because I wanted a girl so badly I knew it couldn't possibly be one. So when I had my anatomy ultrasound and the technician matter of factly commented 'It's a male' I glanced at my partner who wanted a boy and my parents who thus far only have grandsons, and forced a smile.
Later that night I went home and just felt hollow. I fretted that I wouldn't love a boy as much as I would love a girl, and that a boy wouldn't be as much fun.
I know in my case that when he was born it wasn't love at first sight, but I feel that girl or not it would have been like that. I think I was just in shock that I was now responsible for a helpless little human - it's a crazy feeling!
I didn't like boys things either, and I still don't like some of them but you know what? They're growing on me and the stuff my son loves I am really beginning to take joy in. I get excited looking at toy car and garage sets and train sets because I know how much fun he would have playing with them. Ben 10 toys and Transformers? Not so much but I suspect when he starts to play with them and I see how much he delights in them I'll like those too. As for the clothes, I still find a lot of boys clothes to be awful (sports designs, MASSES of clothes with dogs on) but you can find the cutest little polo shirts and jeans and trust me it is so fun to dress your little boy up so he is a super handsome wee dude.
You will love your son because he is just that - yours. And you will be his favourite gal.
My little boy gives me snuggles and big sloppy kisses and picks daisies, sniffs them and then gives them to me. He is the absolute sweetest and while I would still love a girl, I would take ten the same as my wee man.
If you're ever having a bad day (I remember having quite a few of those) you're more than welcome to drop me a PM. As for In-Gender, it's broken But as HPJagged said, genderdreaming is good too
