hoping for a certain gender?

[kitty]

we've just found out that #2 is a boy. I was disappointed as I wanted a little girl.

Today Ifound out that "friends" of ours are expecting their first and it's a girl - just as the wife wanted. I've spent all day sobbing and even now am on the brink of tears

I just hope that this feeling will pass and that when #2 is born I'll love him just the same as I do with my first... but I'm worried I won't and won't get over this feeling

You will love him, Kitty. Don't doubt that for an instant.

(((hugs)))

I'm hoping for both genders. Both have their really strong points. So I'm a bit stuffed cos I'm definitely not having twins.. LOL

haha, i was the same! Kind of alternating between how wonderful it would be to have blue or a pink.

i hoped for a boy last time and he was i didnt stop me saying i hope its not a girl in labour
im hoping for a girl next time and i'll probably be dissapointed if its a boy but i'll be happy coz i wont have to buy all new clothes lol got a lot of blue stuff xox

you'll love the baby either way dont worry

Hi Kitty, my DH and I were also VERY shocked to find out that we are expecting another Boy (i'm suppost to be keeping that a secret oops). DH has 2 sons from his 1st marriage so this will be boy #4 for him.

We both just sort of expected that it would be a girl so when we were told otherwise we both laughed and said to the US tech "no really what is it?". I have girls names picked out and still think maybe the US tech got it wrong (yes i'm in a bit of denial).

But i know 95% it will be a boy and it took a week or two but i'm ok with that now. Just give yourself some time for it to sink in. I still get a little bit sad when i look at all the little girls clothing at the shops, but i know that this little man will be loved and i wouldn't change a thing. I also made a mental list of all the positives of having another boy, so maybe that might help.

Take care and give it some time

kitty, big . There is a gender disappointment group that you can apply to join, if you want to talk about it more. I'm sure that you'll love your number 2 just as much as you love number 1, but it's easy to say, and talking to people who've been through what you're experiencing can really help.

i though DD1 was a boy, mainly because i was worried due to my relationship with my mum! i was stoked she was a girl, when pregnant the secont time DH and i both secretly wanted girl, and she was!! but would have been happy with either

I have a 10yr old DS and this new bub has been wanted for years now so I'll be happy with either, but in saying that... I know deep down I'd love a girl. I wont at all be dissapointed with a boy but I think there will be an extra twinkle in my eye if I get a girl... dont all mums want a little girl!
Funny thing is though heheh Im certain Im having another boy!
