Hey girls. I know gender disappointment is a very sensitive subject here, but I just need a bit of encouragement, as I'm not sure that's what I am going through. I am 31 weeks pregnant with my fourth boy. In the past 4 weeks, three of my good friends and fellow boy moms, had baby girls. I cannot help but feel jealous, and it has brought me to tears more than a few times. I love my boys, and I am very grateful and beyond excited to have another one, but I feel like I'm mourning the daughter I may never have. I talked to a mom the other day of 8 boys, and she said she understands. Weddings, prom, shopping trips, pig tails and cute dresses, and all of those things. I know I will get to experience some of these with my boys, but there is a mother/daughter bond that comes with these that I am sad that I may never get to experience. Does anyone have any advice? Please be easy on me. This is a hard thing for me to ask advice on.

Edited to add: I think another reason this is hard is because my husband badly wants a girl as well. He wasnt disappointed when we found out we were having another boy, but I know he was really hoping that we would have a girl join our family. His mom recently passed away and he was very close to her. We had plans to name a daughter after her and that was something he was hoping on . My middle child (6) also refuses to accept that we are having a boy. Even still he tells people that we are having a girl, which is tugging on my heartstrings even more.
