Gender disappointment π
Hey ladies, so today I found out we're having a little boy. I've been trying to explain to my husband why I feel the way I do, but it's hard.
We already have a daughter. We wanted a boy as well, but also wanted my daughter to have a sister, since that was important in my life.
Well, we didn't mind what the gender would be. Until literally EVERYONE has been saying "I bet you hope it's a boy" "your husband will be happy to get a boy" "I hope you have a boy" and the list goes on.
This has made me bitter. What's wrong with girls? Why will my husband be any happier to have a boy? And now everyone is going to ruin it for me by saying "I knew it!" "Oh you've got your boy and girl, now you're done!" "Carrying on the family name!"
It makes me so mad that this can ruin the whole experience for me. I am so happy to be having a healthy boy... I'm just having a hard time coming to terms. I also had envisioned having two little girls who are best friends, and I felt like it was a girl, so it's hard to give up the dream I guess as well.
Please don't bash, I know I'm lucky to be having a healthy baby. I love him so much, but I have explained why I'm a little disappointed. I wanted another girl out of spite, basically. Because I'm sick of feeling like people think my husband isn't happy because he has a daughter (no one knows new baby is a boy yet)
We TTC for a while as well, so please, refrain from hate. I know how hard it can be. But gender disappointment is real and it really sucks.
Also, boy moms, any places to get cute boy stuff? I hate all these truck, tools, camo etc outfits. And also furnishing for boy nurseries!
