May I offer a gentle reminder that there are thousands of women who would practically give their own lives to be pregnant? I feel that many women take the fact that they can concieve fairly easily for granted.
I am sure it would have been great to have a girl, but she should love her baby just the same. Good luck in finding peace and comfort in this matter.

I agree with Jillycakens. My SO and I were both in love with the idea of a little boy. I just felt I had this "motherly instinct" telling me it was a boy, and in all my dreams I was having a boy. The night before my sonogram I even had a dream I was at the doctor's office and the showed me on the screen where his little "bits" were. But low and behold the very next day we found out we were having a girl. My SO was grumpy/disappointed for a full week! I'll admit I was too, however, in sharing the news with my family I found out my cousin who has been trying to conceive for about 6 years, has finally decided to adopt. It made me realize I should be thankful that I conceived and am now carrying a healthy little girl.

I'm sure your SO doesn't want to hear that she should just be thankful, but I'm 110% certain once the baby is here she'll be so in love she won't care what the sex is.

I'm an oddball I'm pregnant with my second and wanted ANOTHER boy. But I'm having a girl. I'm 31w 4d along and am still feeling the sting of disappointment from time to time about not having another little boy. I have a very good reason for wanting another boy though! My fiance's brother has two girls ages 15 and 12 and my fiance has a girl from his previous marriage age 9. So when my little boy was born 10-25-07 he was the only boy born in the family since fiance was so he's all alone there! I was hoping to give him some male companionship. I'm not sure what advice to give you. All I can say is I'm SURE once your little guy gets here she will lose all disappointment and fall right in love with him. Thats what I'm counting on for me.

I just had my fourth boy in September. I will admit that I really wanted him to be a girl. I cried for a week after we found out he was a boy and several times in the months following the ultrasound. I felt a lot of guilt for being sad about it. I always try to be grateful that my babies are healthy and that I can have them in the first place - but that doesn't take away the bitterness of having your hopes and dreams crushed. Having said that, the moment my baby boy was born I fell in love with him. He is my little buddy and he is beautiful. I love having my boys all together (they are 7, 5, 3, and 6 months). They are best buddies, and it saves money on clothes!

Surprise! It's not a Girl.

That's what I first felt like when I met my first born child just moments after delivery.

At 24 weeks my boyfriend and I found out that we were expecting a daughter in September of 2008. (I have ultrasound pictures to prove it in the baby book.) We spent weeks bonding with the idea of a little baby girl. Singing the song "Little Girls," from the musical Annie to my belly. We thought of girl names, were given girl clothes, and picked girl colors for the nursery. Oops.

At 3:57am my son emerged, strong and cute and pink. The shock we experienced right after his birth was pretty intense. We stood there, mouths agape and laughing. But I also felt a little cheated at first, after all, I was not going home with my little girl.

My boyfriend fell asleep, and I stayed up with this new little person, who had no name and extra body parts. I just stared at his little face and I couldn't help but smile. By the time the sun rose that morning I was totally in love.

We place so much importance on what we think we want or need to make our lives seem complete. But there are so many things that can't be controlled in life. And Thank God. It would all be pretty boring without all the surprises. I have faith that things happen for a reason. I was meant to be this little guy's mommy, and I will be the best mom to him that I can be. That is what's really important.

this is to mrs.curtis that thinks she has high chances of having a girl since her family is all girls, thats not true at all, My whole family is NOTHING but girls, my grandmother,mom,sister,and aunt All had not one but all had 2 girls each, but I had a boy, I thought my chances of having a girl were high too but nope, the man determines the sex, so your family can have all the girls in the world like mine but I had a boy n so can anyone else with a family of girls

Hi, I'm new to this too. I myself was disappointed at the fact I was having a second boy. I really wanted a girl. I alway said that if I had 2 of the same sex, I would try one last time for a girl. Guess what, I now have 3 boys and am done. I was disappointed at first but soon got over that. I have 3 nieces and they drive me crazy. I guess that told the story that I was meant to have boys. Yes boys can be a hand full, but not as much drama. My point is that I look back and I'm glad I had that 3rd boy. Yes a part of me wants a girl but, I wouldn't want a girl in all the rough housing boys do. I would just end up with a tom girl, and all my babies were healthy. That is what mattered most.
