Hello, I've just found out we're having a boy! I'm a litte bit shocked. I think I felt it was a girl. Today when I was out I kept seeing little girls with their mothers and feeling a tiny bit wistful that I wasn't having one. Is this awful? The thing is, I actually kind of thought having a boy would be cool and a bit different (it's all girls in my family) and I thought it would be lovely for my DH. Now I'm panicing that I know nothing about little boys (all sisters and only the one boyfriend - whom I married!) whereas I know lots about little girls.
Am I being very silly? I think I am. I also think I'm just the kind of fool who would have wished for a boy if I'd been told it was a girl. Maybe this is why people shouldn't know in advance!
I think I might just be a bit emotional. I could barely speak during the scan with the huge lump in my throat and the tears rolling down my cheeks. I actually had to hold my breath to stop myself from crying audibly when the sonographer showed me his perfect little arms and legs and wiggling bottom. I found it completely overwhelming and so I think feeling a bit down tonight is just those pesky hormones and also the sheer relief that all is well with our first LO.
Anyone who doesn't think I'm crazy, can you remind me why baby boys are wonderful?
