Anyone currently pregnant with boy but wanted a girl?

Question

So I’m pregnant with my second baby. I have a daughter that I absolutely adore. Wanted to give her a baby sister so we could re live the newborn girl phase that I loved with the bow etc. 
I want to preface this saying I’m thankful to be pregnant with a healthy baby. I will love them no matter what. But I am disappointed that I’m having a boy.  I feel like girls are closer to their moms when they get older (I’m best friends with my mom) and I am thankful I have one but I wanted at least 2 daughters. I’m scared I won’t enjoy a boy as much and I feel so guilty saying that. 
Any advice?

Answer

i just want to say me and mother absolutely hate each other and my mother and brother are super close so with that said.. don’t let that mindset spoil your happiness! boys are and can be just as affectionate and close to their mama just a much as a girl!

Answer

My son is 7m old now. I always thought of myself as a girl mom, I have nieces, etc. I was a little disappointed when I found out I was having a boy, and even a little disconnected from him during pregnancy. Don’t get me wrong I was happy but I felt like something was slightly off. But as soon as that little baby was born, it was like my soul split right in half & he held the other half of it. Sometimes I can’t even believe I wanted him any different than exactly how he is. It seems so silly to me now. 
Give it some time. He’ll steal your heart as soon as you hear that little cry.

I felt this way with my 4th. I got a girl first & then 3 boys. Lol I SO badly wanted my last to be a girl. I was sad when I found out I was having a boy. I got over it eventually of course. My 3 sons are the sweetest mommas boys 🥰🥰🥰 my daughter is 13 & my boys are 9, 7 & 3.

Gender disappointment is very real and those feelings are valid! You will love your baby, you will have that connection, and you will feel guilty later 😂 but that guilty feeling will just confirm the love, that’s all. It’s completely normal to imagine life after pregnancy with a certain gender and then feel that disappointment when you find out you’re having the opposite gender. The only thing I can compare it to is finally making a trip to your favorite restaurant after weeks/months of not being able to go, only to get there and they’ve changed their menu and that dish you were craving isn’t available anymore. You’re still gonna sit down and look over their new menu and order something. It’s still probably gonna taste good, and you’ll leave satisfied. It’s just not what you spent all that time imagining 🤷🏼‍♀️ But yes, mama, it’s normal and it’s okay and it will pass! Congratulations on your pregnancy! ✨🩷

I felt disappointed when I learned my first was a boy too. But believe me boys have their own charm 🥰 they can be wild but they can also be the sweetest little things 😊 I have a boy and a girl and I think it’s really nice to have both 🥰
