I have a son already. He's 11 years old, and even though when I was pregnant with him, I knew he was a boy even before the u/s to find out. I still hoped for a girl before I found out, but still happy to have a boy. He's a wonderful child.
Well, my OH and I found out we were expecting back in March. This is his first child. He told me he wanted a girl, because I already had Momma's boy, and he wanted Daddy's Little Girl. I understand this. I also wanted a girl because I already had a boy. Well going along we said at first we werent' going to find out the gender. My mom was adamant that we were having a girl, I had others saying we were going to have a boy.
I've also found out since I found out I was pregnant that alot of close friends and people I went to school with expecting as well sometime this year. Most of them are all having girls or just recently had a girl.
I kept thinking I don't want to find out, when baby gets here, we have no choice but to deal with the fact that baby might be a boy rather than a girl as we had hoped.
Even last week when OH asked me what I wanted to do, I said there was no real need to find out as we weren't decorating a nursery or doing any type of theme. So no reason to find out.
Today was our u/s. Before we went, OH said he thought we should just find out. I said okay, so while we were there the tech asked us if we wanted to find out, I told her yes. She tells us "looks like a boy". Didn't really confirm it, and I briefly saw it before she moved onto checking something else out.
I almost cried while there, because I was so set on having a girl. I had already bought things but most of it is either gender neutral or blue toned.
Part me is glad we found out, because now I can deal with it, and move on. But I'm still sad as I know we don't plan on having any more. Financially we would not be able to have any more.
