I didn't think I'd feel this way :(

So we were planning on staying team yellow, but through an accident I just found out today that we're having a boy.

I had been 100% sure we were having another girl, and I guess I never realized how attached I had grown to that "daughter" I thought we were having. We had a name picked out for her that I absolutely loved (whereas I can't seem to find a single boys name that I like), and I was so happy that my DD would have a sister close in age, since I never had a sister and always wanted one.

But now I feel like I lost that daughter, as silly as that sounds. I've just been bawling all evening and feel terrible that I feel this way, when I should be so happy to having a healthy baby.

it doesn't sound silly at all. This will get easier

Massive hugs to you sweetie, it's not silly at all. I can't imagine being sure you were having one gender for it then to go the other way - both times I've been almost certain we were having boys which they turned out to be. I know I've heard lots of people on these pages say you need to grieve for the child you've 'lost'. It doesn't mean you'll love your son any less
