Well, i never thought i would make it so far in this pregnancy. Our ultrasound yesterday showed a HEALTHY boy moving all over the place! After the tech got all the pics and measurements she needed i asked about the gender. my fiance didn't want to know, so she typed it up on the screen while he looked away. well after she left the room, he decided he couldn't wait so i told him. as terrible as it sounds, i couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. here i am, in a place where millions of women would love to be....being told that my baby is healthy. and knowing we did it without fertility treatments of even trying for that matter. it's just that the first thing i thought about was how i always longed for a little girl. one that i could dress adorable, and braid her hair. my fiance felt the same way about wanting a girl. with our personailities that we have, i strongly believe still, that we would do much better at raising a girl. but what's done is done, and i've learned to be happy. i actually had tears in my eyes that i strongly tried to hold in. i felt terrible. how could i cry bc we're having a boy and not a girl! i felt so selfish, but the feeling was so natural; i couldn't help it. i still don't know what im doing with little boys. i pretty much hate sports. i danced my whole life, and wanted my girl to do the same. that's about as sporty as i got. this is going to be an experience for us for sure. my dream was always to have a girl. particularly first...i never pictured me with a boy my entire life.
but me and my mom went shopping yesterday and bought some adorable outfits. i had so much fun and there were some good sales at carter's! so i was happy! this baby is going to be loved the same no doubt. whether he's wearing a dress or a jersey. hehe...hope not the dress...but i just have to keep reminding myself that HE'S healthy. and it makes choosing names so much easier now that i know the gender. i love my little boy and i'm so happy:)

ARGGGGH!!!! I keep trying and trying and STILL cannot get this site to cooperate!!! I can never get to the …
A brand new day. Same old painful body. Am at least having better luck with this site today.
Nevaeh I had the exact same feeling when I found out that this baby was boy as well and I know the guilty you feel for feeling the way you do... it is 2 months later and sometimes I still kinda wish he was going to be a girl but for the most part I am glad I found out now so I could not keep wishing for that girl that wasn't going to come. There are a lot of good sides to having a boy try making a list it does help :)
I am so happy for you that you are doing well in the pregnancy and that the baby is healthy and strong HUGS

Oh and as for the hyper masculine boy you have pictured in your mind, that is not the norm LOL. My husband is a "man's man" I figured I would have the same kind of rough n tumble boy but though my step son turned out a toughy boy my son was raised the same way as him and he is so soft and tender and sweet and helps me bake and garden and whatever... he's not a sissy LOL but he has a complete different personality and ya know what? We couldn't change it even if we tried (and my hubby tries sometimes trust me lol). Boy or girl your baby is gonna be your baby and it will come with it's own personality :) You could of had a girl that turned out to be a real tom-boy and was more into sports than your little boy may be LOL
