Abbey.... ā¤ļø Penelope + Baby Bump ā¤ļø

Hey Everyone ā˜ŗļø

So I had a baby girl over two years ago after so much struggle and loss and at that point I thought a boy would be great to start because well thatā€™s convention right? A son to carry my husbands name blah blah blahā€¦ I found out I was having a girl and it affected me a little but I soon came round once she had a name and I was picking clothes out for her (like crazy) now I have my sweet Penelope and my goodness I wouldnā€™t change her for the worldā€¦ sheā€™s no girly girl but she really is a mammaā€s girl and has her dad right where she wants himā€¦ and watching my husband bring up a little girl is the most beautiful thing Iā€™ve ever seenā€¦ heā€™s so out of his comfort zone and heā€™s changed so much for the betterā€¦ he loves his precious girlā€¦.

So fast forward to now I am pregnant againā€¦ I worked myself up so much for a boy I prayed git boys names ready the lot!! I was convinced I was having a boy because this pregnancy is so different!!!

I went for my scan on Saturday and yep Iā€™m having another girl!! I didnā€™t fake my lack of excitement and why should I? My husband was over the moon he sees things so differently a sister for our baby girl a true best friend not to mention a healthy baby šŸ’•

I let my expectation of society take over my brain and heartā€¦ a boy to carry a name, play sports etc etc but in the same breath itā€™s a lot of pressure to but on a childā€¦.

So anyway after finding out I got in my car had a long drive and I told all my family who were over the moonā€¦ we named her straight away! I was so drained from the emotion I slept and when I woke up I told my little girl she was having a baby sister! Well her reaction alone blew me away! She is soooo excited to meet her so much so she is willing to share her favourite blankey (trust me that is huge!!!! Now I simply cannot wait to meet my second little girlā€¦. Im just trying to say once you know and once that baby is in your arms your love takes over any feelings you may have hadā€¦ but do not let anyone tell you your feelings are stupid or unfairā€¦ tell people you can trust too because judgement doesnā€™t help at all you just need someone to listen šŸ’•
