Adventures of being a boy mom, IUI baby due February 2020
Gender disappointment.
RANT AHEAD.
Let’s discuss this, because it is something that has really bothered me lately.
With our first pregnancy, we waited until birth to see if we had a son or daughter!
It was the most fun surprise, but this time around I felt we had waited long enough to get to this point...
we didn’t want to wait.
When the cannons popped blue, the first question many people asked was,
“are you going to try for a girl?!”
In my head I thought, “are you f*cking kidding me right now?”
I responded a little softer with...
”I am going to cherish in THIS pregnancy and THIS baby, since we waited for him for so long.”
After the struggle we endured, I will never understand gender disappointment, I cringe before going to gender reveals where people are adamant they want a girl or boy, but I know I can’t project those feelings onto anyone.
Thanks for listening.
TLDR;
every baby is special...boy or girl!!! 💙💖
