I've been spending a lot of time this week wondering if Bump is a boy or girl. When I was pregnant with Little E I was convinced she was a boy - to the point where I was secretly buying blue baby grows! Everyone else was 50/50. This time 95% of people are convinced I am carrying a boy. I think I am too but once bitten twice shy so I'm keeping an open mind! Most people seem to think we want Bump to be a boy and say things like 'it'll be so nice for your Husband if it's a boy'. They are wrong. We are honestly quite happy regardless. Husband has three sisters so he's quite comfortable in a household full of women (I think he likes being unique!) and I know he won't feel any sense of loss if we don't have a boy. If we do then that is great too, a different challenge for us and time to clear the loft of the plethora of pink stored up there! There was no question of finding out the sex before baby was born. Husband even averted his gaze at the 20wk scan for fear baby would be an exhibitionist! But I know for many people it is a big deal. Would I feel the same way if Little E had been a boy? I don't know. My relationship with my mum is so strong I can't imagine not having that relationship with a daughter of my own but I also know the love I felt immediately when I saw Little E didn't change once I knew her sex (in fact I thought she was a boy for 30seconds until the midwife corrected herself!) The love was the same regardless. The first time I felt that kind of love was eight years earlier when I met my nephew for the first time. I remember the rush of emotion being so strong that I was completely freaked out and I really didn't know what to do with the feeling. I was scared at how much I loved that little person and the lengths I would go to to protect them. So, for now, I am left happily wondering and the nursery is staying yellow!

This is so refreshing to hear, I think you waiting to find out the sex of your child is great. I couldn't do it when I was pregnant, I wanted to know as soon as was possible. I have two boys and always wondered what it would be like to have a girl. 24/1/2014 12:37:00 pm
Awww such lovely words!. I found out with all 3 of my babies. Peoples perception on what gender baby you want, baffles me!. When I had my 1st son everyone was like ooo you might get a girl next!... I had my 2nd son, awwww nevermind... Then I had my daughter, awww finally you got your girl! lol... People just assume you want one of each, as though your collecting stickers and need to collect all the different types hehe... Goodluck #pocolo www.suggys.co.uk/Leanne

I know! It is crazy the preconceived ideas people have of how a family should be made up. As long as Bump is healthy we are happy. Thanks for visiting xx

Don't tell anyone but we are trying! And Ross definitely wants a boy! I would have to have a CVS done because of a chromosome problem in our family so I would know for sure! Thank you for linking to PoCoLo x

Lovely post. 11/2/2014 01:50:13 am
When I was pregnant, we both somehow guessed correctly that it was a girl from the beginning. We'd love another baby at some point but I really don't mind whether it's a boy or another girl. 11/2/2014 07:50:51 am
Like you, I knew I was having a boy with my first (but he really was a boy). We found out the sex with both of ours because I'm unable to wait for anything. However, with my second son, the doctor thought he was a girl up until 30 weeks (I had to have monthly scans due to an illness), so sometimes, even when everything points to one direction, it really could be another. 11/2/2014 02:34:07 pm
How exciting. I remember arguing with the sonographer when she told me I have was having another boy. I was quite convinced my bump was a girl - but was wrong! Good luck - I know you'll be happy either way :) 22/4/2020 08:09:58 am
