This is our second and last pregnancy. My first came with complications during delivery and at the time we decided we didn’t want another baby because the risks of hemorrhaging were too high. And yet here we are! We found a great doctor that eased our worries and felt confident to try for a second. We hoped for a girl. My husband would always talk about how he thinks he’d make the best girl dad and how we wanted to desperately to see a little girl look like me. But our second was a confirmed boy…my husband said he’s happy as long as the baby is okay and delivery goes well.

But I’m sad I won’t get my little girl, I know I’ll love my sons and once I hold that baby in my arms my feelings will go away but I can’t help feeling disappointed that we don’t get to experience both genders growing up.
