Found out my friend is having a girl ... and I cried :(

[Disenchanted]

Feel so daft and selfish.

This baby is so loved and wanted whatever its gender but couldn't help crying when I found out hers is pink.

I'm so daft.

I'm assuming you're pregnant - blame the hormones!

Boys are yummy and they give the best sloppy kisses and hugs.

i did this too, she had her first child (girl) just after i had our third boy (my 2nd).

i have just had my first girl, our 4th.

yours may very well be pink, y'know. what do you have already?

Oh I know boys are fabulous... I have two!

And 90% of the time I feel like another boy would be just great but then I think about a girl and ... well

you are not daft

what is it in particular is it that you want in a girl? because even if there is something particular, you might not get it IFYSWIM

sorry you are too lapin, i can lend you my fertility stone. weighs a lot though !

no your not daft at all.i wished mine was pink so kind of know how you feel.dont be hard on yourself ok x

Ironic thing is she wanted a boy! lol

I understand. My BF is pg with her second and I am so . Have just convinced dh we should have another lo.

lapin didn't knwo you were ttc

best of luck

with ds1 it took forever (well, seemed to)

don't get the pink thing - have 2 boys and if i ever had a 3rd (never will happen. never) i'd want another boy

Me too Tutter, I always wanted a boy. There's a running joke though that any child of ours would be a funny looking girl - We're both over 6 ft and DP's just about as wide too!

You're not daft, I wanted and expected a girl, but having a boy is wonderful - if you have a boy you'll love it.

I wanted a girl too but only for daft reasons like buying pink sparkly shoes and dresses. Its very true of course that a girl could very sensibly have rejected all this girly nonsense and I will be very very grateful for a healthy live boy in three months time!

Do you know for sure yours is a boy ?

Totaly understand Disenchanted. When i was pg with dd i was utterly convinced she was a biy and was devestated when i found i out she wasn't, now i'm pg with no and am really nervous in case it's a boy...i don't know what to do with boys!
I thought you were still quite early, do you know what you're having already? Or are you getting boy "vibes" already?

I am feeling really wierd about this. I have another 5 weeks to wait , before finding out at the 20 weeks scan. Dh had convinced me that it was a girl and then I suddenly realised, that it could be a boy. This hadn't occured to me before [stupid emotion].
Atleast we are all dealing with this all now, rather than post birth.

Have you thought of swapping with your friend

Sorry - only joking - but I thought someone should make the silly comment!

I knwo hwo you feel.

I cried and cried when I found out DS4 was a boy.

It wasn't because I didn't want anotehr boy, not for one second....but for the little girl I'd never have.
I wanted to paint my duaghters toenails, plait her hair, buy stripey/flowery tights....I wanted to be the mother of the bride!

Boys are great and I love being a mother to 4 of them....

I had 2 boys and then DD. She terrifies me. I do boy dragons, not girls. I know how you feel thoug. I was always incredibly sad when friends had girls as I assumed I wouldn't have one. Then when I found out babyDragon was a girl I was upset at the loss of my Boy Gang and worried about what I'd do with a girl

I'm with LTH. I have 2 boys and no more are likely. I meet up with a friend and her dd every week and have a weekly moment where I long for a girl.
