I’m 20w5days. Yesterday, we had our anatomy scan. My husband and I wanted to know right then and there. Later on, we were doing a cupcake reveal for grandparents and a couple others.

So, literally everyone and their mom has been saying they think it’s a boy. My husband and I want a boy first because we like the idea of a big brother. BUT I kept telling him and everyone to not let it get in their heads - either way we would be happy as long as baby is healthy.

So, at the appointment - baby is healthy and growing great! We find out it’s a GIRL!

Ladies, this was not what you see in movies or television for us.

We were in total silent shock but still smiling.

My husband wouldn’t look at me...

We finish up and leave. We drove separate and headed home. He isn’t there when I get there. For some odd reason I get it in my head he went to do something special for me.

He comes back empty handed and explains he went to redeem a scratch off ticket. 🙄

At this point, still not a word about the gender has been spoken. I’m happy to find out but I’m realizing he is acting like he isn’t.

Hormones kick in. I start crying and get seriously upset.

I tell him he is acting distant and it’s breaking my heart. He hasnt said anything about his DAUGHTER nor has told me he loves me. I say I told him not to focus on one outcome and he’s a being jerk.

He proceeds to say he is happy. I ignore him and start cleaning. Still sobbing into my mask I wear while cleaning bathroom with bleach.

Two hours pass. He’s finally comes to hold me and starts acting better...

Fast forward to cupcake reveal. Everyone takes a bite, ONLY my best friend gets excited and yells “it’s a girl!”

In laws, my mom, and my sister-in-law say NOTHING. His sister looks at him and says, “but you wanted a boy”.

My feelings?

I was pissed and said nothing as he shrugged. His entire family suddenly ups and leaves because dinner was in the oven at their house. Said goodbye but they never said congrats or ANYTHING.

My mom leaves without any excitement too.

Ladies... my heart is BROKEN. None of this went according to plan. I cried ALL NIGHT because of these reactions.

I’m excited for my little girl, why isn’t anyone else?

I can not describe the pain and disappointment I feel towards our family and even my husband.

But I will still share my bump picture; maybe you guys will be more excited than my loved ones...

UPDATE: The response to this post has been incredible!!! I was not expecting this!! I attempted to reply/like all responses, but I simply could not keep up with it. I’m so sorry but I truly appreciate every single word all of you wonderful people are sharing!!

Considering most of you are females (with a mix of amazing men in there!), this stands as proof that girls are AMAZING!!

Let me update you on everyone who disappointed me on that day.

Mom: she was insanely nice the following day and took me shopping for baby girl clothes!! She’s been bragging to all her friends about getting a granddaughter!! (I’m making her a grandmother) she apologized for her awkward silence at the reveal and said she was just in shock and had to process.

SIL: texted me the following day to say she was excited and couldn’t wait to meet her niece. (I think she did this because my husband told her how upset she made me) 🤷🏻‍♀️

MIL: made this huge post on FB with my bump photo, exclaiming how excited she was to meet her granddaughter in a few months. She’s even been blowing up my phone about planning baby shower (once again, I totally know she’s going out of her way because my husband contacted her to tell her I cried about her reaction)

FIL: nothing. Zero acknowledgement. My husband plans to have a “chat” with him the next time he sees him.

Husband: FINALLY getting excited! Exclaimed the other day he absolutely can’t stop weightlifting (he’s a body builder) so guys are too scared to date his daughter. He’s been saying he’s looking forward to teaching her sports and is getting excited about putting her nursery together.
