A pregnancy Journal - Cheeky Baby

We went and had our 19week ultrasound last week, unfortunately the program they put the images on I can't get it off that and onto my computer. But anyway, we decided to find out the sex! I was nervous and excited as we already have two little girls we were both hoping for our little Prince. So in we went, I love the place we go to as we have to wait only 5mins before my name gets called so my bladder is very thankful. So in we go I lay down and she starts doing all the testing she needs to do which she is finding hard to do as bub is laying on his/her tummy, so back to my tummy. She finally got everything she needed after me turning from side to side trying to get bub in a better position. So her next question "Do you want to know the sex?" To which I reply "Yes"






She has a look and tries again and again but bub doesn't want us to know he/she has their legs crossed over and is still on their belly... She couldn't get a potty shot at all and bub refused to uncross it's legs... So now we have to wait. DH is convince it's another girl while I think we have a boy, but I was wrong with the girls so who knows.... Mother's instinct didn't work last time... I have been doing all the old wives tales and the Chinese gender calendar thing wondering what we will have. I know people would say it doesn't matter what you have as long as it's healthy, yes that is true but I believe everyone has a gender that they would like to have. Some are because like us we already have 2 the same gender, others it's because they feel like wouldn't be able to handle that gender for what ever reasons.





It got me thinking about Gender disappointment so I googled it. There are so many people out there that are disappointed in the gender they gave birth to or about to have. A few people make mean and rude comments etc that they should be happy to be able to have a child, these people are happy they are able to have a child, just like I am, but I know I will be a little disappointed at first if or when we find out that we wont get out little Prince. I know I will love another little girl no matter what but it would be nice to have a mummies little boy. So if there is anyone out there that had gender disappointment, you're not alone there are many people out there that have gone through it and when you first see your baby you will just have unconditional love for it no matter if it's a girl or boy.
