LOL Hobber I agree! He's now backpedaled and said he just "had a feeling" and he's not confident or anything and "maybe I'll get a boy feeling tomorrow!" I can't help but love him because he's so wonderful but geez. He started rattling off girl names right after declaring he had the girl feeling too! Then grumped at me b/c I didn't care for any of them, lol!
I did kind of have a boy feeling, but I had a boy feeling with DD1 and she's all girl so.... I don't trust myself (though I did buy some little blue hats already...) and I haven't told anyone that I've had any feelings. I attribute them to "wishful thinking" kwim?
I know what you mean about the sway... I already had us on the sway diet and we were lifting weights, but hadn't started supps really other than my usual prenatal and fish oil, hadn't really done anything else since we weren't officially TTC. I keep thinking of everything we did for our 3yo, who was a pretty hard-core sway, and that I didn't do this time.
But still, the "Dh thinks it's a girl, that means it's about 99% a girl, our sway wasn't 'textbook', etc," thoughts are better than the GD I had with Honor. I'd just rather not have that again. I wish DH would understand that. The "at birth" disappointment is kind of milder because you have this precious baby and real person in your arms. It's not the same as "rest of pregnancy" disappointed, like you said.
