MY DAUGHTER IS ACTUALLY A BOY
I'm 33 weeks pregnant. Being 39 this is my first and last pregnancy. Around four months I was told I was having a girl, and was absolutely ecstatic. I've always wanted a special mother-daughter bond as I had with my own mother, and dreamt of doing all the "girly" things together and having girls' talk. Then last week during a routine ultrasound I was told there had been a mistake and I am actually having a boy. I now I should be grateful for a healthy baby but I feel devastated I'm not having a girl - particularly after many weeks of preparing for a daughter, both in terms of baby things and emotionally. Am I a bad mom for being this upset?
[NB: kare, totally ignore this question]

it happens, you'll love him to death and not be able to imagine any other child.

Poor guy must not be that stout down there if he's mistaken for a girl. -- nm

She will most likely get over it when she holds the baby for the first time -- nm

you're not a bad mom for being surprised, upset, whatever, but once he comes, you'll love him and it will be fine.
