**UPDATE** I'm sort of freaked about a/s

[ssmjlm]

So we find out tomorrow if goober is a boy or a girl. And now that I'm oh you know less than 24 hours out and sort of bored at work, a bit freaked.

I've sort of been leaning one way since the beginning but who knows really. DH then last night said he was leaning the same way.

Now I've got myself convinced that we're both probably wrong and how will I react tomorrow when they tell me.

So any reassurance for tomorrow? Especially if you were really set one way and it turned out the other.


**Update**
Turns out we were both wrong as Goober is a GIRL! I started bawling just b/c I was so happy to know and half laughing b/c we were both wrong. We of course went straight to the store to buy some pink clothes and just enjoy the happy news.

I was in the same boat and the roller coaster went liek this:

-blown away
-confuesd
-guilty for feeling confused
-hormonal emotional
-so happy
-cant imagine it any other way
-want another of the same

I did the same exact thing. I thought girl. Then I thought well if it isnt a girl am I going to make a funny face when they tell me its a boy. So then I convinced myself it must be a boy. So I go to the scan and she says its a girl and DH and I look at each other and say "Cool". It was not the way I pictured it.

In the end I am sure either way you are going to be thrilled and maybe even a little shocked like we were. I am sure your reaction will be fine.

I was just excited to have a bit more connection with the pregnancy.

I hope this is what happens tomorrow. I've felt what I think are some flutters, but not much else. I'm having a lot of body image issues with PG that I didn't think I would have and I think my weight is one of the reasons I'm not feeling much.

So really I just can't wait to see it and see that everything is ok.

I had an early gender determination scan at 16 weeks that turned out to be WRONG. We were so shocked at the A/S that I think I missed half of what they showed me in it. It felt earth-shattering.

We got used to it in a few days. We didn't have a strong preference but I was so USED to the idea of having a boy that to hear girl was just an insane shock.

It sounds like you're going to be happy either way.... enjoy seeing your baby (the A/S is a fun one!) and finding out whether it's a boy or a girl!

We have our a/s tomorrow, too! Good luck.

With DS, I was thinking girl. Then the u/s tech said boy and tears streamed down my face. It was a rollercoaster of emotions for me too:

Slightly disappointed it wasn't a girl
Guilty for feeling disappointed
Happy it appeared to be a healthy boy
Excited to use the awesome boy name we picked out
Reality sinking in of being parents to a little boy
Super excited about the future

All that to say, it's OK to feel however you feel tomorrow. I hope everything looks great and be sure to update tomorrow!

I still have to wait 5 more weeks until I find out what I've got in here! I was the one who originally wanted not to know, but now it's DH preventing me from finding out. It's certainly a crazy rollercoaster of emotions about finding out what it really is!

[liveintheville]

My H and I had the same thoughts with both kids. Kid 1 - Of course it's a boy, we had a girl name totally figured out but zero ideas for a boy. Kid 2 - thank god it's a boy, we'll never have to move.

I will admit to crying a little when we found out Ds was a boy. We had two Dds already and I was convinced we'd end up with another girl. I was a little sad to not have another girl to dress up. I still had to check to make sure he was indeed a boy when he was born. That being said, now that he is here, I couldn't imagine it any other way.

Regardless of your feelings at the A/S, you will soon reach a point where you can't imagine your child being anything other than what he/she is. I always kind of assumed we would have at least one girl, and experienced a little disappointment upon learning that DS2 and DS3 were boys, but almost immediately after it became difficult for me to imagine life without any of my three little guys. You may feel emotional in your A/S, but you will wind up with the child that you are supposed to have and unable to imagine things any other way.

[knitty]

There are pros and cons to both flavours. So long as you're not one of those crazy people you'll convince yourself whatever you get is the most amazingly wonderful gender to parent and then you'll freak out when the next one is the other kind.

Just whatever your initial emotion, don't commit it to writing.

We both thought it was a boy and were right. However, I thought I really wanted a girl and was so afraid I'd be sad and upset if it was a boy. I was really thrilled though when the tech said it was definitely a BOY! And now it would be so weird if he were a girl, we were always meant to have a boy I think.

If you're open to sharing, what's your hunch?

We both think boy.

[bronxgirl]

I always assumed my forst baby would be a boy so when I was PG we were both expecting a boy. I wasn't dissapointed when we found out girl, but I was a little taken aback and had to adjust. Now I think having a girl is the most amazing thing in the world.

Good luck!

This is a good way to describe it! Lol.

Also, fwiw, my H REALLY wanted to have a boy. To the point where I was kind of worried when we found out that DC3 was a girl. I think he was just flustered at the thought of raising a daughter since he had zero experience with little girls. It probably took him a little while to adjust mentally and emotionally. But now he is totally enamored with DD and she pretty much already has him wrapped around her little finger, lol. She's only 5 months old.

My advice is to just give yourselves time to sit with your feelings and adjust to the news. Eventually, it'll feel like you can't imagine your child being any other way. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I'd had a few dreams that she was a boy, so that's what I was connected to. We both expected her to be a boy. It was a little disappointing at first (which I hate admitting and may dd), but we got over it after a few weeks of finding out and absolutely adore her.
