21+3 Ultrasound, Gender Reveal, how to deal with disappointment?
Hey ladies!
Today I am 21+3, and had my anatomy scan today! Baby's due June 25.
Everything is looking wonderful! Great rate was 162, and he was punching and hiccuping like crazy.
It's another boy!
I had been hoping for a girl, since we already have a boy and I've always wanted a girl.... so I was a little disappointed. But by the end of the ultrasound I was already feeling more excited about it. But the excitement comes and goes, I'll go from being happy about it to being sad.
I know gender disappointment is a thing, have any of you ladies ever had it, and if so, how did you deal with it?
I know it's okay to feel sad, as long as I don't wallow or blame him for not being a girl later on- which is something I know I won't do because he is loved just the way he is and at the end of the day it doesn't matter if he's a boy or girl, so long as he's healthy and happy. But I'd like to know what everyone's thought are on moving on from gender disappointment? Just to see if there are other things I can do to move on faster, or is it something I'll have to take my time getting to truly accepting and loving the outcome?
