re: Gender diasppointment

Quoting regina_margot:" i had my heart set on a boy my whole life i was sooo sure i'd have a boy all my friends are boys! i'm ... [snip!] ... the next ultrasound. still: two girls! i can't imagine it any other way now, then with my sweet little baby girl monkeys   "

It'll all change once my little girl arrives I'm sure  
I guess I another reason I freak myself out over a girl is because it's my first baby and I've always imagined a boy would be easier to raise. I picture girls in their teenage years and there is so much more that you have to go through with girls than boys. Correct me if I'm wrong, but hey it's my first baby, I'm just nervous, especially now that I know it's a little girl   Lol probably silly of me to think so far ahead when the baby isn't even born yet

I am sorry but I have to say this. Boys arent easier than girls nor girls arent easier that boys. Both are the same it all depends on how you raise them and how much freedom you give them. I hate that many people will get blown away because of this myth. Yes I think is a myth because that is not true!

i agree. ive seen my friends raise their girls, and my boys are just as wild and has just as much attitude if not more maybe.
neither is easier then the other.

So far my boy has been 10x easier than my girl. Who knows, that might just be because he's a more easy going baby. My girl is so dramatic

You're right, it does depend on how you raise them. I just don't know what to expect and I'm just nervous with this being my first baby. Thanks for all the responses, I feel a whole lot more at ease.

Very possible lol

You will be a good mom rest assure. Congrats once again and have fun shopping.

My husband and I both come from families full of boys and I would have been content only having boys. When my 2nd turned out to be a girl, I was completely freaked out because I'm not a girly girl and I had no idea how I would relate to her.

She's 2 1/2 now and I absolutely adore her. Can't imagine life without her.

Girls rock. I WANT a girl. Girl names are so much more fun to pick out, lol.

I personally wouldn't too upset if you are planning on having more children after this one. But I understand it. I was quite disappointed when my mom gave me a second brother. In fact, I cried. But, I got over it and was spoiled as the ONLY daughter, mwah hahahaha!

I'm in the process of coping with my own Gender disappointment. My daughter is 4 and she's really hoping for a baby brother, my family and Husband say that a healthy baby is most important and it is but I know they're all hoping I'm having a boy, I would love to give my husband a boy as this is our second and last child. I go for my ultrasound results tomorrow and just know my doctor is going to tell us we're having another girl. I love my 4 year old daughter and am thinking positive whenever I start to feel disapointed, I'm excited to see how she cares for her baby sister and look forward to watching them bond. I didn't have a sister growing up and always wished I did. Also my husband is such an amazing father to our 4 year old daughter, I know it will be the same all over again. The part that makes me sad is that this is my last chance to have a son. I know the love that we feel when our babies are placed in our arms even after the love that we feel when they are kicking us on the inside...I know I am blessed to have one child and now doubley blessed to have another one on it's way....but still it would be nice to have one of each.....Wouldn't I be shocked if my Doc told me I was having a boy! lol But the ultrasound technician let it slip and referred to our baby as a "Her". Is this your first child?

Hi   And yes this is my first child. I'll probably have more but I honestly don't know at the moment if I will. We really wanted a boy so that if we did decide that one was enough that we would atleast have a boy that could carry on the family name. But who knows what the future holds  . I hope you get your boy! When do you go to see?

I always laugh when I see people say that. Such an assumption.

I admit that with my daughter (first child) I had it set in my head that I wanted a boy. My husband was so sure I was having a boy because they hadn't had a girl in over 20+ years in his family. You should have seen the look of disappointment on his face when we went for the anatomy scan   I will say this though...the other day we were talking about a second child and he said to me he doesn't care at all what the gender of our next child is. I had a lot of gender disappointment throughout my pregnancy, these mamas are right though, all of that disappears when your child is born. Zoey will be 2 on Saturday and she turned to me the other day and said "mama my best friend"   no idea where she learned that from but it was the sweetest thing ever! I couldn't imagine my life without my "mini me"
