Well... I hit my first depressed spot yesterday evening


I am all excited for a boy, infact, I really wanted one and was thrilled beyond to hear the lady say that it was a boy last month.

But last night, I started thinking. Which led into depressed mode. Everywhere I look, there's more girl clothes and items. My niece gets to wear cute bows in her hair, which I won't get to put in his hair. She carries a purse(she's almost 2), he won't. I won't get to teach him how to put on make up. If he gets involved in boy scouts or something, I won't get to go, hubby will. I mean, how uncool is it that your mom(from a boys prospective) goes on class trips with you? It just made me so sad. Hubby came in and asked what was wrong and I told him. He looked at me and said "but there's one thing you'll have that I won't" and I said "what?" and he said "moms and sons have better relationships then dads and sons". I dunno how true that is, though he is indeed a mommas boy, and I guess even if it is a lie, it did make me feel a little better.

I just don't understand. I wanted a boy. I didn't want a girl. I want my little preppy cowboy(til he decides what he wants to be lol, but hoping for it considering we have 10 horses).

Has anyone else been thru this?

I was the opposite. I wanted a boy because I can't see myself doing all the girly things with my daughter... and the fact that I'll be missing out on an NHL salary Women golfers make lots of money, right?

I still find that with my son there is loads more clothes for girls than boys and it really annoys me.

My son is more for me but thats coz hubby works and he is with me all day. He does go to daddy but if he falls he cries for me.

Aww hun, Its the hormones, I had a moment of that when we found out it was a boy but it only lasted a second. I agree there is a lot more girl clothes than boys but they do say boys are mummy's boys and girls daddy's. It will pass, take care XX

i'm hoping this one is a girl, because i can't do girly things with my son, for a start he's a skin head and wouldn;t take to kindly to pink bows ,ha,ha

With regards to mummy's boy my hubby is 38 and is still a mummy's boy we even live across the road from his parents.

My son likes the things i like which is god send really cause me and the hubby loves cars and it's rubbed of on to him, we both ride motorbikes which my son thinks his cool and he loves horses(my mum has 16).

Our son is a mummy's boy he tends to stick with me more than his dad but i suppose it's because he spends more time with me.

When you have him in your arms all the doubt will go because he will be so precious to you xx

I had the opposite feeling! I love girls, and really hoped that I'd get another... When we were told it was a girl at my scan I was really happy, but then after thinking a while I got quite sad because I'd heard all the things about girls being closer to their dads, and its definately true with my little one - We're close, but there's something about daddy she dotes on. And as this will probably be our family complete, I'll never get to see what having a boy is like... Deep down I know I'm chuffed to bits to be having another girl but a small part of me is sad too... Little boys are soo cute.

I was the same but we wanted a girl and got told he was a boy i sobbed for 2 days. My OH said we can still get him a pony ( got 4 already) but now i am happy as larry.

must admit girls clothes are so much nicer than the boys but after buying a cute outfit i am smitten.

don't worry, my little brother always wore nail varnish my high heels and carry my handbag around :-).

I am having these days when I feel so depressed but have highs too. You just have to pull yourslef out of it, its hard i can tell you !

It will be fine :-)
