She is now 9 months old and the star of our family. The boys love her and constantly fight for her attention, want to cuddle her. I'm soo soo happy and feel so complete now that we have a girl. I wanted a girl SOOOO bad, but was afraid to admit it. Very happy we got her. I guess I just wanted to let you know that I'm hoping you get a girl too and that if you do- it is absolutely the best!

One of each would be perfect. I think had I found out, I would have struggled with gender disappointment, but when I laid eyes on my new son, it just seemed so perfect. OF COURSE he was a boy! Now that my second is seven months old, just this week I've been longing for a little girl. I'm not sad I have two boys, just a feeling of "missing" the little girl I don't have? Either way, I'm trying to work up the nerves to bring it up to my husband. I just don't feel like the family is complete yet - regardless of gender.

I wanted my daughter to have a sister - to play tea parties and go to dance class with, and while it took me a few weeks to truly accept that I was having a son I wouldn't trade the world for him now. He and his sister are nearly inseparable and I wouldn't change the sweet bond they have. <br /><br />Gender disappointment is so often a taboo subject that it gets shoved into dark corners that very few people pay attention to, and even then, barely acknowledge it. Don't worry about feeling some gender disappointment - it's completely normal and mostly the work of hormones. Hugs to you during your wait for finding out the gender; enjoy those little girl and little boy dreams until then. faeriequeenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394280508529996962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-40828180204967398062013-11-20T10:58:36.216-08:002013-11-20T10:58:36.216-08:00I have always wanted a boy as my first child.

The only time I really hoped my baby was going to be a girl was with #3. After that I decided I wouldn't know what to do with a girl. She would have been a very spoiled tomboy in a pretty pink dress. And then watching my sister with her girls, whinny, pouty, holding grudges, I really liked my boys, if they had a disagreement, it might be a fight but it was over and done with quickly and then they were friends again. And dirty muddy boys always clean up so nice, and bring Mom dandelion bouquets, or flowers from the garden. And so far, looking at your blooming little baby bump, my guess is boy. So I will be anxiously awaiting the Dec. 2 viewing.

I REALLY wanted this baby to be a boy, so Milo would have a brother, and then we found out it was a boy. Then after we found out, there was a little part of me that was sad it wasn't a girl. I still feel that way a little bit, but I'm also really excited for a boy. Conflicting.Brittany Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06130315908328368293noreply@blogger.com
