So a week form today we find out boy or a girl, and I wondering what was everyone else hoping for? and are you expecting what you dreamed of, or if its different did you excitement changed with a change of gender?
I have a sweet little girl would love and a boy but I am excited either way.
I have two boys already, and this will be our last baby, so I was really hoping for a girl. Early on, it seemed like everyone was just assuming it would be another boy, and I would say, "It's always a 50/50 chance!" I was really worried I would be sad or disappointed if it was another boy. I worried I might not connect or bond with him because of that.
I talked about it a lot with my other mom friends, and my husband and my mom (she had two boys and then a girl, so I know she'd been in the same boat). I also prayed about it a lot. I started out praying that God would give me a girl, then over time it changed to, "God, please help me bond with this baby and love him/her no matter what."
Going into the 20 week u/s, I was totally at peace. I had had enough time to think about and process my feeling and emotions (I actually went to counselling to help treat a mild depression as well), so I can say that I was not worried at all about the gender going into it. It was kind of strange, because I was thinking I would still be worried, but it turns out we are having a third boy and I am perfectly happy with that.
A few things that also helped me, other than talking about it a lot, were buying a "coming home" outfit for both a boy and a girl, and picking out names that I LOVED for both a boy and a girl. It seems shallow, but having those things "ready" for baby helped me be okay with either outcome.
Sorry for the long essay, I just had a lot of thoughts! I also wanted to add that I think it's pretty normal to have worries or anxiety about the gender (and even disappointment). It's hard to process and talk about sometimes because there's this feeling of, "I should just be happy I'm having a baby when so many women aren't able to or have lost theirs, etc." But don't feel guilty for the way you might feel. Just talk about it and do what you need to do to process it all.
Heaven, will be thinking of you.
I'm hoping it's not symptoms of SPD. Just dropped DD at nursery and hoped to take the dog for a walk but I need to rest. I only walked down the road and back!
I think so too. 
We bought our GSD last year when my youngest was only 3 months old. 
We already have a 1 year old GSD and 1 year old Border Collie, so throwing a puppy in the mix isn't going to be too much to handle. Hopefully. 
I think I kept thinking it was a girl so I wouldnt be let down and then when they said boy I was like oh wow I already set my mind on girl. And baby girl clothes are soooooo much cuter IMO
