Anyone else have gender disappointment?

Question

Yesterday I found out I’m having a baby boy, he’s already a little smart ass like his father and I and I wouldn’t trade him for anything. After I found out I was at the store alone and started balling my eyes out, ever since I was little I always imagined having a little girl. I have been an emotional rollercoaster since I found out. I feel guilty for being sad because I love my baby but I can’t stop being sad that I’m not having a girl. 
Has anyone else went through this? Support and advice is welcome. 
Here’s my announcement yesterday,

And my baby (16 weeks),

Answer

Yup I cried at the Ultrasound! We were both very disappointed when our 2nd was a girl. Obviously you get over it but it stings :(

Answer

I have accepted having another boy only because we had our first lil girl after 3 boys later my oldest 15, 12, 5 and my princess 18mos I'm due Oct 20 with boy! he won't accept blood work done by DNA, so well wait until ultrasound for confirmation. any who he tells everyone its a girl I'm like ok......

Answer

I completely understand! I was the same way with my son, I wanted a girl so bad but now four years later and I wouldn't trade him for all the girls in the world! it took until he was born that I was finally able to let go if the feeling he was a girl, I looked into his sweet blue eyes and fell in love!!!

Answer

Totally get it. My first is a girl and I desperately wanted her to have a sister, but #2 is a boy. I'm having a hard time getting excited about it. I'm the only one who knows because my husband didn't want to find out, so I can't even talk to family, just some work friends who don't know him.

Answer

You can always try again 😂

Answer

I felt the same way you do. Except I wanted a boy sooo bad with my first pregnancy. I found out it’s a girl and of course I loved my baby then and love my little girl now but I was definitely disappointed at first because I wanted my first pregnancy to be a boy so that when or if I had more they would have a big brother. Lol

Answer

I did with my second: I was so hoping for another girl and we ended up having a boy. He’s the sweetest little man ever and I feel silly for being disappointed about it but it is totally real and not wrong at all. You at least have time to get used to the idea :)

Answer

I didn't have to go through this, I wanted a boy and I was blessed with one. 
but I totally understand, and I think it's totally normal! don't let others put you down.
