I just had my 20-week ultrasound today (I'm actually 19 weeks and 1 day). I am pregnant with #2. We just found out it's a boy. I'm excited and shocked but a little disappointed that I'm not having a girl again because I really wanted my daughter to have a sister and the practical side of me wanted the new baby to wear all of my daughter's gorgeous clothes I saved. It will be fun to go shopping for a boy but how long until I'm no longer disappointed? There are many new adventures ahead of me since having a boy is not very common in our families and our son will carry on our name. We have had a boy's name picked out since we got married. I just found out 2 hours ago, so what can I do so I don't seem less excited than I should be.

Yes, i was disappointed too.. But don't worry, you'll get excited.. I found out i am having a boy when i was 19 wks & i was really sad & wishing that the dr made a mistake.. this will be my 1st baby... However now that i'm 30 wks i am really excited to meet my baby boy!! I still want my next to be a girl.. But i already love this little guy so much i wouldn't change him for anything.. The boy stuff will grow into you.. Congrats on the baby boy & God Bless <3

It's totally normal to feel that way. Like everyone else said, you will still love your son just as much as you love your daughter. I'm sure I would feel the same as you do. I have a daughter and am ttc our second child. I have always said that I wanted one of each, but I have been thinking that it would be cool for my daughter to have a sister. But, you know what, I think I only have those thoughts because I already have a girl and maybe it would be easier to just have another one. So, anyway... just be proud that you have a daughter AND a son!

I can relate. When I found out I was having my son I cried. I really wanted a girl! With this one I am even more wanting a girl since it is my last chance. In the end though, it is most important that the baby is healthy. Now you get to raise one of each! That should be fun. Boys can be so wonderful and good to their moms, believe me, I have learned this! Congratulations!

My daughter had our first grandchild last Dec. 27th. A boy. When she had the ultrasound that determined his sex she bawled her eyes out for days. She was absolutely certain it was a girl and didn't want a boy.
But, it didn't last. She is a wonderful mother and adores her son.
Don't worry about how you feel now. What matters is how you feel when you hold him in your arms and take him home.

What you are feeling is perfectly natural. It's not so much disappointed. It would be easier and less expensive if it were a girl but from my expirience it will be so much easier on you with your daughter helping you(and she will want to help).

There's nothing wrong with being disappointed. In the end You know you will love your little man just as much as if he was a girl.

I think its natural for a woman to want a daughter, i think its perfectly fine to feel a little dissapointed,,,,,,, my husband really wanted a little boy (as do most men) but we ended up having a little girl( much to my delight) but he wouldnt change her for the world, and as soon as he felt her kick while i was pregnant, he was so excited i think he forgot he wanted a boy as he never bought it up again,,,,,, time will ease your dissapointment,,,,, but dont feel bad, its normal!!!!

first of all boys rule!!!girls sucks and they are pathetic..im sick of ppl saying "i cried when i founded out it was a boy".....they should cry if they have a girl instead of a boy...boys rules!!!....i dont even think you should have another baby cuz that baby is going to be a unlucky man cuz when hell grow up he will be depressed all the time and think that hes a mistake and his only fault is that hes a boy..ppl like you are sexist morons and should not have kids becuz you ruin a kids life just becuz u didnt had a idiot girl...get a puppy instead of a baby!!! oh btw on the name of humanity stop having sex with your husband becuz the baby can be boy too...boys rules!!!
