Since I found out yesterday that our little shrimpy is a girl, it's been a little hard on me. While I am beyond happy that my baby is healthy, it's still a little hard to accept the fact that my baby is a girl and not a boy. I had convinced myself that my baby was a boy... I was looking at boy things, and referring to the baby as he or Jace in my head... So it's a little hard for me.... I'm trying my hardest to get excited!!! I think it's finally working... My fiance told me we could order the crib this weekend and when I looked to make sure it was in stock it made me happy. I am having a beautiful baby girl, and even though I wanted a boy first, I will be okay. I am happy! I can't wait to meet my little Raine Lena. my little princess.

Me and my boyfriend SERIOUSLY wanted a boy. I've already got a 3 year old girl and he just couldn't imagine not having his own son (it's his first kid but he knows I'm done having kids after this so getting a boy out of me would be a struggle haha) at first I guess what made it easier was our doctor mentioning she might have down syndrome, so my BF didn't have much time to be upset about a girl before having the idea of a special needs kid being thrown at him. well now our girl is perfectly healthy and no risk of DS, but her nursery is being paint completely gender neutral. the walls are green and everything we are buying will be relatively gender neutral. (we are doing this partly incase we decide to try one more time, partly because he's color blind and can't see pink or purple, they look red and blue to him.)
I think doing everything gender neutral definitely helped us with coming to terms with having another little girl, I'm 32 weeks and we JUST decided on a name finally. now we are excited for our Daniella Raine to get here and meet her big sister :)

With my second we called the baby a he and called it Noah when we found out, so we were both pretty upset to find out it was a girl but honestly I love having 2 girls and I wouldn't change it we still want a boy someday but we're very happy with our princesses
