Cried at the mall today

That has been me sitting at the table, with my mother and my little almost 2 year old girl, and I just wanted you to know that I cry with envy almost every day, I am so envious of you with your boys. All I've ever wanted was a son, and although I love my little girl to pieces, there are still times I look at her and wish she was a boy. She is not a girly-girl, she hates dresses and hair bows and would rather play with trucks or balls than dolls.

As it is, I can't look at little boys when I am out in public without choking up and tears coming to my eyes. I am currently pregnant with another girl, so I'm sure the hormones don't help, but I thought you should know that yes, we are out there - mothers of little girls who desperately wish they could have just one little boy like yours, and who are looking back at you with just as much envy. I send you all of my super sticky pink baby dust, and I hope you are carrying your little girl! At least you still have a chance for your dream to come true!

Thanks sbmommy, that meant so much I hope you'll have your darling son one day too and if that will never be, at least perhaps we'll have grandchildren of our desired gender on which to fuss about

I know it's not the same, but I found out yesterday that I'm having my 4th boy. I have one dd and I have to let go of the dream of giving her a sister. I hope you hear girl, if not, I hope you find peace quickly.

Thanks ThreeMen, I hope you will be feeling better soon. I know it's hard but you will feel much better when you'll hold your little one in your arms. He'll be such a cute baby

I can relate. My Mom has five grand sons and had a grand daughter from my brother and she passed away earlier this year at just three weeks of age. I want so much for her to experience a grand daughter, I think more than I want a DD for myself or a sister for my boys. Hang in there. I hope you have your DD on board.

I cried at passport control a few weeks ago when for the 100th time that trip some stupid ass piped up "all girls? no boys? why no boys? you no like boys?"

People should just keep their traps shut.

This kind of thing caught me off guard at first. People can be so mean. My MIL's first sentence when she met newborn DS2 was 'Never mind, dear, the next one will be a girl.' I smiled and said 'No, I know how lucky I am' but inside I was thumping her. Such an insult to both me and my new baby.
To the original poster (sorry, forgot your name!) I know exactly how you feel. I always feel it when I see little girls of about two holding their mummies hands.

People can be so insensitive! I told an acquaintance that I was expecting again and she put her hand on my arm and said "every mother deserves a daughter, you won't be complete without one." Really? Thanks for sharing. It's really nice that you have both genders in your family, why don't you rub it in a little?
