Hello!
I am new here and this is my first child.
I am currently 13 weeks and just had my second ultrasound. The tech said the basic, "it is too early to tell so we won't be looking for any boy/girl parts blah blah blah", but then the baby opened his little legs and there it was...pretty obvious boy parts! She looked surprised and said, "Well, it is possible that the nub turns into girl parts. Puhlease! That baby is all boy, I saw it myself.
Anyway, to get to the point of my post. My husband, mom and nana were in there with me and you could almost feel the collective sigh of disappointment (from all except my husband who is thrilled). My parents have all grandsons and wanted a granddaughter so badly. While in the waiting room my mom said...well what can ya do? What can I do!? How about be happy that I am having a baby at all! Yes it is true, I wanted a little girl, I have wanted a little girl my whole life but who is to say that because my first might be a boy that I will never get my little girl!?
I am sick of hearing from family members, "I think you're the one that gives us a girl!" or "I'm hoping for pink this time!" Excuse me, I didn't realize I needed to place the order for a girl in so YOU all are not disappointed! I have to deal with my own feelings about it, but I feel I am more angry at my family's response and it just makes me wish it was a girl even more so they'd all just be happy and shut up about it!
The worst part is my bratty younger sister is pregnant also, a few weeks behind me. She has one son and wants a little girl so badly. She is so snarky about it, she has been saying this whole time "you're going to have a boy and I will get the first girl, I can just feel it". I don't even want to tell her what I saw on the screen because I don't want her to gloat! How annoying!
Have any of you dealt with family members making your GD worse?
