People Keep Telling Me I’m Only Meant To Be A Boy Mom.

Please forgive this ramble, I’m emotional, sleep deprived, going stir crazy with this quarantine and trying to hold back tears from this weeks nonstop stress.

I have two lovely little boys. My sister-in-law recently had her first baby, a girl and now my best friend is due with a girl this winter. I also know 7 other people who have had or having girls this year.

My husband and I are on baby # 3 and we do not know the gender yet. I really want a girl and get sad in private whenever I hear someone find out they are having a girl. Don’t get me wrong, if baby #3 is a boy he will be absolutely adored and wanted. Whatever baby is I pray just for a healthy baby in genera. However, I just feel like there will always be a “missing a daughter that never was “ feeling.

I keep hearing from people that I’m just “a boy mom,” “that I’m only ever going to have boys” or that my “husband isn’t capable of producing girl.” I hate hearing this. It makes me upset. Has anyone ever been told something like this too? I just irritates me. I think I need a good cry and ice cream to handle these emotions 🥴
