Gender disappointment?

Question

Found out yesterday I'm expecting a gorgeous little baby girl and I'm over the moon of course, as I would have been with a boy. However my boyfriend had his heart set on a little boy and I totally understand it because most boys want sons. He hasn't expressed he's disappointed but I can tell he's feeling kind of low about it. I don't think he's doing it on purpose and i know he will love our daughter endlessly when she arrives as he does now. But is there anything I can do to make him more excited for a little girl? 💗

Answer

Tell him that most boys are mamas boys and that be will have a little daddys girl. :) He may be disappointed now but he will be so in love when she gets here! Father daughter bonds are the cutest.

Answer

Aw how about getting a little baby outfit with “daddy’s little girl” written on it? Might help to start with making a connection! Or watch the film “father of the bride” together - it highlights father daughter bonds beautifully!

Answer

He will love her when even more when she’s born! I’ve ALWAYS wanted a girl and when I found out my first was a boy I was like ok I want one of each anyway I’m hopeful for a girl next time but thought it was a girl this time. Fell in love with him
and got used to the fact he’s a boy! When he was born it was like omg I couldn’t imagine a girl I was so in love with this little human. Fast forward two years, pregnant again (third pregnancy but had an early miscarriage in august) had my scan two weeks ago and found out it’s a boy! My husband and I wanted a girl but saw his 3d and his face and have a name for him and thinking of all the pros to have another boy and I’m so in love and over the moon! We want three kids anyway so hopefully my next one is a girl. If not I know babies are all blessings and I’m lucky to be a mom and be able to have kids. It’s normal to have some disappointment if your heart is set on a certain gender but believe me. You both will just be so in love, and baby girl will be daddy’s little girl afterall! It’ll be great and maybe next time you’ll have a boy if you want more. Enjoy your baby girl!

Answer

I bought a camo baby hat that said "daddy's girl" and a camo hat for him. I gifted them to him and after each one of our three girls were born,  they all became his hunting buddies.

Answer

My bf wanted a boy. He already has a little girl. I cried and cried and cried when I told him it was a girl. I was super happy but I was worried he’d be disappointed. He still might be just a little but he’s excited. I’ve looked up tons of cute “daddy’s girl” onesies and cute articles and sayings and send them to him all the time. I told him we’d have his boy one day but maybe he was just meant to be a girl dad! Gender disappointment is ok! They’ll get used to it.

Answer

I’m in same boat having a girl! Worst part is I havent even told him yet!!!! We already have 1 girl, guess I’m just waiting to break his heart! He keeps saying it better be a boy!! Help! How do I tell him!?

Answer

Once the baby gets here, he will love being a girl dad!  We are having our second daughter and although my husband was hoping for a boy this time, he told me it’s actually really fun being a girl dad 😊❤️
