Roslyn, I completely understand where you are coming from. I felt the same way when I was pg with Noah before my scan. The fact that I had waited 7 years to have another baby and I was so desperate to have a girl after already having 2 boys was huge. I put so much pressure on myself as did family members (although not intentionally) I asked the technician if she could see what bub was before Mark was even in the room with me. My heart dropped, but only briefly and I thought, he's mine and I love him no matter what. I think from there in you go into a kind of damage control. You defend to both yourself and others how happy you are that bub is whatever sex it is.

I was and still am totally in love with the little boy that Noah is, but the yearning was still there for a daughter. Thankfull I got lucky last time, I was very careful with my dating and did as much as I though I could to help determine a baby girl. Alot of people asked what I would've done if she were a he. Of course I would still love him, but I truely think there would always be that yearn...

I don't think you can prepare yourself in anyway other than accept in your own heart that this bub is the one that was chosen for you. You are this babies Mother and no matter what you will love him/her unconditonally.

Sending you heaps of pink vibes for Tuesday. I hope that bub is doing great and growing nicely.
Oh and I also hope that bub isn't growing anything extra
