Honestly, following HE stuff for a sway is only a good thing for pregnancy and breastfeeding, haha. So it's not a BAD thing to be so invested into a sway before you've even had your first kid, because you're not shortchanging her now. If you take care of yourself, you're taking care of your DD and that's about all there is to do when still pregnant! Even my mental anguish while pregnant with DD didn't seem to affect her as I was VERY concerned would happen -- she is very, very happy and people constantly comment on what a smart, aware, happy and "good" baby she is. And she's INSANELY attached to me, too. Which really was fortunate for me, as it helped me extinguish any and all disappointment with her. As others have said, bonding while pregnant anyway is... not always a thing! It's very common.
When she's here, you will discover a balance of sorts between the two!
And you also might surprise yourself with the pink and frilly... I am very not that. I didn't want to do that. I still have stuff gifted to us that I dress her in and get excited to match headbands and things. Who knew? But she's also still in lots of other not conventionally "girly" things all the time. And I can tell you that, based on her personality, she is very unlikely to be the "very girly" stereotype, either. She's very active and "sporty" even, I'd say, at this young. Very interested in reading and exploring and animals and mischief and so on.
But, I was like that myself, and I still enjoy makeup every so often and I like dresses and what not. We're not all black and white. There's gray everywhere :)
