having a boy

[jobekal]

i had no idea what sex baby i was having, with the others i was pretty sure they were girls and they were, this time i didnt want to know but i had a scan a few weeks back and it was obvious.

it sounds really silly but i was so disppointed when i found out. I didnt have a gender preference but i did want it to be a surprise and since finding out have felt so much less excited about it.

I have finally managed to pull myself together and just be happy that baby is ok but i feel disppointed that i spent a few weeks feeling the way i did i alos feel guilty about it. People used to say i expect you want a boy this time and i said no but i didnt mean i had anything against a boy, just that i love my girls so much i would be happy to have more of them. But now i think poor baby will think i dont wat him cos he is a boy i know thats silly but i keep thinking about it

I had a friend who was thought she saw something at a scan without being told the sex she was convinced from then on she was having a boy - she actually had a girl so unless you have been told you are having a boy you could still have a girl

This is EXACTLY how I felt when I found out my third was a boy. I loved my two elder girls so much, and I just couldn't imagine having a boy - didn't want a boy to intrude on our girly time (don't tell dp)

I kept telling myself that the scan could have been wrong - and when I had him, I even asked dp to double check in case they had got it wrong.

Then I saw him and held him and I loved him. So much.

I won't say he is my favourite, but there is a very special place in my heart for him.

Hope this helps

thanks cadburycreme sqounk like i said i dont actually mind having a boy, i mind knowing i have a boy i wanted asurprise but i am afraid baby will pick up on how i felt and think i dont want him!

oh I see what you mean!

No, he won't pick up on that - mine didn't pick up on the fact that I didn't want a boy - he is a total mummy's boy and will rarely leave my side.
