My test results all came back normal and negative.

We are having a healthy baby BOY.

I'm very happy, but it's definitely a change in mindset. I expected another girl. And while this baby could never be a replacement for what I lost, it's just...I don't know exactly. Hard. And I'm still scared of all the what ifs. I think I just need time to adjust, right? Don't get me wrong--I am so, so happy. I don't know how to explain how I feel.

Yay and congrats! Boys are awesome!

But I understand, too. We very much wanted a girl both times. And we knew S would be our last (unless we adopt). I wouldn't trade my squirrels for anything, but it was hard to hear that door closing.

Congrats on the good news! I absolutely think it's normal to be scared of the what ifs and need a little time for the swirl of emotions to settle. Of course you can be happy, wistful, regretful, and scared all at the same time. It doesn't mean that you feel any differently about the wonderful little person that you'll get to meet soon.

Oh how exciting!!!! I'm so happy for you!!

I don't think the fear ever goes away though. I'm 21 weeks and I still have to prepare myself for the bad news at each apt. I thought it would be better by now and it is but it's still on my mind.

We just spent a week with my new newborn nephews and boy oh boy, while we wanted a second girl, did we come away wishing we were having a boy this time. They are the cutest!! I think your girls will have so much fun with their baby brother!!

Congrats!

I'm only about six weeks into pregnancy with our rainbow and I already feel those ups and downs. I think they are normal and as much as we wish we could go back to having naive, simple pregnancies that just isn't our reality. Hang in there.
