Had 20 week scan, and we're having...

[MrsSawyer]

I had the completion of my anomaly scan yesterday (as baby was sat on its legs last time!) and we're having a boy! We have a 4.5 year old DS and am delighted :) Ive always wanted 2 boys and although i know that due to lack of space, and lets be honest, money, this will be our last child, im not disappointed that i wont have a girl, my DH however is.

He maintains that he is pleased its another boy and is fine with it ~(or will be!) but had the traditional mummy, daddy, boy and girl family set up in his mind, and wanted to have a daughter to walk down the aisle one day.

So im left not really knowing how I feel, im thrilled for DS as he wanted a boy (though DH thinks he would have been beter with a girl) and im pleased for myself, sad for DH, a bit sad that I know what im carrying (thats another story) so just feel a bit -meh!

I know other people have a lot more to worry about and of course, the baby is happy and healthy and thats the most important thing, just wanted to rant i suppose.

Congrats! Have been posting on here about my scan yesterday as I have two boys and would like a girl this time - though didn't want to find out at scan and think that I might have done!

Believe me though, having two boys together is FABULOUS..XX

Congratulations!!!

I have two ds's and then had a dd. Ds's were much easier! More physical and not so demanding. My little madam is adorable (but expensive) though!

this might seem a little far away but he may help cheer him up - i got married last year and had my grandad walk me halfway down the aisle then give me to my dad as my granda only had 5 boys and never got to do it. Ofcourse this is dependent on your kids having girls but might help a little!!

I'm a bit worried for when my 20 weeks comes as DH really wants a boy and i'd like that for him as i think he'd find the whole thing much easier to deal with if it was a boy - long story!

As you say at least he's healthy xx

aww excitedlj, thats so sweet, what a lovely thing to do!

I know what you mean about it wanting to be a boy for your DH, I feel like so much is focused on the woman as the one who is pregnant, that dads often get forgotton about and sometimes, though not meaning to, everyone can forget about their feelings too and that its as much their baby as it is yours, so I do know what you mean.

But im sure, as we did with our first DS, when he holds his baby in his arms for the first time, and if its a girl, he wont care less :)
