.....another Boy!!!

He's measuring ahead by a week , healthy heartbeat of 164 today. My first son always had a heart rate in the 160s too. He seems to be pretty lazy though compared to my first son. He doesn't move a whole lot in ultrasounds. The only real way I could tell he was ok was by his heart beating and his arms and hands moving every so often but he is pretty chill. He mostly just hangs out in there. lol.

Ill be honest. I am disappointed. I so badly wanted my one girl since this will be my last baby but apparently I am meant to be a mom to boys. Thats ok boys do sure love their mommas. So I am happy but I am not yet excited about this. I hope that that changes as I should be over the moon to even have another healthy child so I feel guilty for initially wanting to cry when I found out. But it will be nice to have two boys, brothers close in age. I may lose my mind... lol but Ill be ok. I think. ha.

Now we really need to think names. We don't have any ideas really. We had a girls name picked out but not any boys.

I am not going to announce to the world until i am 18 weeks and its reconfirmed that way too it gives me some time to hopefully get more attached, more excited about being singled out as the only estrogen being in the house!

	Comment from tjwjtw21 » Posted Oct. 6, 2014 6:23pm I went through these feelings with my now 5 year old. I was so hopeful for a girl after already having a boy, but once I laid eyes on him I was just overjoyed he was healthy. I carried disappointment throughout and it was hard to swallow. I did eventually comes to terms before he was born. I'm pregnant now with twins. I've had the maternit21 test and it shows Y chromosomes... I was saddened by this as well, but hopeful that at least one is a girl. I will go Thursday to find out for sure! Best wishes to you and your new bundle of joy!!
	Comment from Quartz3 » Posted Sep. 26, 2014 7:28pm I understand the disappointment as well. Somehow with our first, we both hoped we'd have a girl. The first baby was indeed a girl, but it was not to be. With the next pregnancy, when we were told we were having a boy, I was a little disappointed. However, one of the first things I thought when I gave birth, after I had my baby boy on my belly, was how much I didn't CARE that he was a boyâ?¦. Of course, I'm still hoping to get a baby girl this time around, and I know I will be disappointed if I don't. I think it's okay to feel disappointment. There's no need to feel guilty about it. It's better to acknowledge it than deny it.
