Pregnant with a boy but I wanted a girl...

I wanted a girl. Never wanted a boy. I can't even see myself as a mother to a boy. Everyone keeps saying boys are easier and you'll love it...but I want a girl. I prayed and prayed for a girl and got a boy. I love him, but right now I don't feel like I will be able to be attached to him or bond with him...I'm afraid everyone else will be closer to him than me...I don't know what God was thinking...I mean, does He not listen to what we want? I have 4 other friends that are pregnant too and none of them got what they want either. I don't feel like it's fair. My husband joked and asked if I want to give it up for adoption with only made me angry. Of course I'm gonna keep my baby...but will I be able to love it as much as if it was a girl?? I know that sounds horrible and I'm not trying to be ungrateful but this sucks....I don't want to feel this way about my child. I want to be excited but I'm not. Words of encouragement would be appreciated...
