Calling for Emotional Support!

Al

Hey ladies, I'm 19 weeks and today we had our anatomy scan. Well baby wasn't cooperating to get the gender so the tech told us that he thinks it is 51% chance a boy and 49% chance of girl. Saw parts that looked like a boy, but said because of the position and movement just no way to say for sure-which I do know there is never a 100% for sure, but certainly there has to be better than 51%!

I'm disappointed that I'm not able to find out the gender because I'm ready and want to know and be able to start buying boy or girl things as it seems like it's really hard to find gender neutral. But I'm also kind of disappointed that there's more likelihood that it's a boy.

Don't get me wrong I'm super excited to have a baby who is healthy and I know boys are just as important as girls otherwise we wouldn't have any little boys or girls :-), but my husband was convinced that because of family tree dynamic's we were going to have a girl and he's been putting this in my head since we first started getting serious and talked about possibly having a family. So I've had in my mind from him that is going to be a girl, even though I do know his theory is in no way accurate ... but it does put the thought in your mind that maybe there is something to it! And I'll admit I am one of those women who dreamed about having a little girl of their own to do all the fun little girl things together. I know I will love this baby as much as I possibly can no matter if it's a boy or a girl and I will be happy in the end, but I kind of just need some support right now, especially maybe from some of you little boy moms. Help me get out of this funk sooner rather than later!
