I kinda had gender disappointment with my kids. I thought I was having a girl during my 1st pregnancy for some reason and I have a much younger sister and she was like my little baby when we were younger. So I had a dream in my head of this little girl. I also think girl names are so much more fun and knew that my husband was super picky about boy names (he still is). So when they told me we were having a boy, I had to kind of let go of the idea I had in my head so really for me it was more of an adjustment of letting that idea go. And I also knew we would have to come up with a boy name, which was not an easy task. It didn’t last very long for me. I started planning his nursery and picking out clothes I liked and was so excited for our boy. He is almost 4 now and I love him to pieces. With our second child, I was conflicted. I wanted another boy because I love the relationship I have with my son, but I knew this would be our last child so I also wanted a girl so I could experience that and get to name a girl! So I knew I would kinda be disappointed either way because I had a dream of another boy and of a little girl. We ended up with a girl which I was so excited for, but still had to let go of that image I had of one more little boy.
