I so wanted a boy!!! I had outfits picked out and names and was looking forward to playing tag football and watching him grow to be like his daddy...then the ob said "it's a girl" and DH was video taping the ultrasound so you hear me distinctly moan and groan and say "well this just sucks!"
That was a week ago and I'm still not completely excited about having a girl and I even have it in the back of my mind that we could be wrong and a little boy pops out...I doubt it but I still think it.
I've had a miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy and tried to conceive for a bit of time so all that think about people who can't have children I don't agree with cause all i have to do is think about myself this time last year having to take a shot to end my ectopic pregnancy. I know what that feels like and I'm not diminishing my feelings at all.
I am slowly warming up to having a girl. I'm extremely excited to be having a baby and that has not changed. And sometimes I slip and refer to the baby as him or he and i have to correct myself. And i still look at girl's clothes and not like any of them so i have no idea if and when that will change but knowing DH is happy to have a little girl to spoil makes it easier. And I know that even if it takes me a while I will be so in love with this little girl and the world won't be so bad with a mini-me.
Just think of how much you love your OH and think you're gonna raise a mini-him but better
