Gender Disappointment

I did NIPT and know that my baby is a boy. I’ve been hoping for a girl all my life and I couldn’t help but to feel very sad. I felt like I did not do my best to conceive a girl and disappoint myself. I can’t imagine myself with a boy. Is there anybody who has been through this same issue and is there anyway to make oneself feel better? Update: My boy is 4 months old already! It’s been a wonderful journey for us. The gender doesn’t matter anymore as he’s the most beautiful angel I’m blessed with. He’s so adorable and always bringing a smile to everyone he meets. To moms who are having gender disappointment.. it takes time to accept the fact but I assure you that it’ll be the best feeling when you finally meet your baby. 😘

i was hoping for a girl and was told i was having a boy. was a bit disappointed at first but it didnt make me feel any lesser love for my baby. i guess it is normal to have a preferred gender but important to always remind ourselves that a baby is a blessing and there are other things more important than gender, for example, health and wellbeing of the baby. i still do sometimes look at baby girl's clothes and will quietly and jokingly ask my unborn baby, "can you surprise me by being a girl instead?" hahaha i hope you accept it soon and be happy!!
