What are you guys doing to help with “gender disappointment”?

Question

Hate even admitting it but seems to be happening to us. Tips for getting past it?

Answer

Sometimes it doesn't go away until you meet that baby. You see their little face and just fall completely in love with them. 
In the meantime, do things that will excite you for baby. Plan the nursery, pick names, plan parties. Talk about the future. 
It's okay to grieve the life you thought about, it's natural. But it will get better. ❤

Answer

Just trying to keep this mindset-  that as long as baby is healthy and normal, gender should not matter. Thats just me.

Answer

My cousin and her husband wanted a boy so bad. They ended up having a girl, she's older now and they said that they can't even imagine not having a girl. They said that the tea party's, and the dresses, and all the little girl things that they thought would be dreadful ended up being the most amazing thing. They said they wouldn't even know what to do with a little boy lol. So it's seems strange to be having the child you aren't ready or prepared for, but it'll all work out in the end for better

Answer

I’m almost 29 weeks and still battling it. We haven’t announced the gender, except to close family and friends. My hope is it’ll go away once my baby is born. It’s okay to grieve and feel the disappointment, don’t let others tell you otherwise.

Answer

Once I started shopping for the baby is when it went away! It got me excited looking at all the clothes and nursery decor! 😊
