Gender disappointment ... 😔

To mamas experiencing gender disappointment, specifically mamas who have or are having boys but wanted girls... I know how you feel but, let me tell you, boys are SO sweet.

Pre-babies I always pictured a house full of girls, so finding out I was having a boy first I won’t lie, I was incredibly disappointed. I didn’t even know what a life with sons would look like. Of course, that feeling was fleeting and especially once my son was born it was love at first sight.

I’m pregnant with baby #2 who is also a boy and I had some of those same feelings, wondering if I’d ever get a girl. Even though I know I’m blessed to even have babies at all. The disappointment such a shitty/guilty feeling, you know it’s irrational but that doesn’t mean the feelings aren’t valid.

Anyways, my first is 3 now and he’s literally the biggest sweetie. He brings me flowers he picks from the yard. Calls me “princess” and “queen” 🥺🤣 ... just always being such a caring babe and I’m so blessed to have him.

Maybe one day I’ll have a daughter, maybe I won’t, but I wouldn’t trade my sons for the world. ❤️❤️❤️
