Daughter upset about baby’s gender

Stevi

Hi everyone. I just found out I’m having a boy in February. First, this baby came as a huge surprise as we weren’t having anymore, so something failed in the process. I adjusted to the idea of having another one and from day one my daughter said it was a girl and wanted a sister so bad. Last night I saw it was a boy and I already could feel the tears in my eyes. When I told her, her reaction just made me lose it emotionally. I could not stop crying because I felt guilty I couldn’t give her the sister she wanted. I have spent the last few days navigating through these emotions as she is very vocal about how upset she is that it’s a boy. It has wrecked me. I have tried to include her in everything and we plan on going shopping for baby brother this weekend but I am not sure what to do. I am having the hardest time finding joy in this right now. I know it all passes but here in this moment I’m at a loss.
