Update p7, It's a..... Is this a third boy?!

Congrats on a healthy third boy! I know exactly how you're feeling right now and trust me- it gets better. I am so incredibly excited for my newest little dude! So much that I don't even wish that he was a girl. But you should have heard me the week or so after we found out it's another boy..... Take the time you need to grieve the little girl you "lost". But know that everything will be wonderful!

Thank you so much for your sweet words and understanding! I really helps to read about others' experiences and doesn't make me feel quite so guilty and "ungrateful."

I totally understand how you feel - IRL hardly anyone understands or at least no one admits to it. It's like they think it is evil to be sad about gender. It is not that you are sad to be having a boy - obviously he will be loved to bits, you are sad that you aren't having a girl and the two are completely different things. Do not feel guilty your feelings are real and nothing to be ashamed of. I agree with the lady who sad you need time to grieve properly that way you can move on and be happy.

Congratulations again on a healthy baby.
