We had a girl nam...You definitely aren't crazy. We had a girl name picked out and all through the IVF process we said that name. So when we found out it was a boy (that we had no name for) I felt sad and ashamed that I felt sad and like a horrible mother because I had no name for my son! But within a short time frame I promise I felt so much better. And when Brayden came I instantly couldn't have imagined my life any differently. Do I still love my girl name? Absolutely! And would I still love a daugher? Of course...not gonna lie. :) My mom and I have a great relationship and I hope to have that some day with my dauther. But our lives are all about Brayden right now and it's perfect. I think it's the unknown that's scary, but once you know it gets so much easier to bond with the baby(ies). <br /><br />And the c-section book I read (parts of) is called The Essential Guide to a C-section. http://www.amazon.com/Essential-C-Section-Guide-Everything-Cesarean/dp/0767916077 I didn't get time beforehand to read through it all, but I got through the important chapters concerning the actual c-section. I liked knowing everything that was going to happen. But the book does warn you what chapter you might not want to read if you aren't in to all of that. I didn't think it was scary especially since it warns you ahead of time what chapter goes into all the details. I would recommend it since it also deals with the emotional side of it all and the recovery and what to expect afterwards, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795793761054155145.post-12450423691226442282011-01-05T23:08:09.108-06:002011-01-05T23:08:09.108-06:00Your def not crazy....We had a girl name that we b...Your def not crazy....We had a girl name that we both like and of course we are having a boy and we each like a different name....but in the end it will all work out as both of us do like the others name...and honestly I always seen myself having a girl because Im such a girlie girl and my husband always seen us having a girl but we are now way attached to our little boy and couldnt imagine things any other wayNick and Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14537407923580887602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795793761054155145.post-48223532907573016532011-01-05T14:13:29.796-06:002011-01-05T14:13:29.796-06:00Can't wait to hear what you're having!!! ...Can't wait to hear what you're having!!!

Here's ...It's not crazy, I totally get it. Here's my piece of crazy:<br /><br />I have ALWAYS known I would be a mom of boys, maybe even all boys. I just knew I would have boys, but I have never had a feeling that I would have a girl. And I really WANT a girl just for the adult mother-daughter relationship that just isn't the same with a mother and son once they're adults. I don't want a girl so I can "dress her up" or anything. I just want an adult daughter one day. And not just a daughter in law.<br /><br />So when I was pregnant with Noah I wanted the baby to be a girl, just so I could "get the girl out of the way" and then I could have as many boys as I could get. I just wanted to know I'd have ONE daughter because I KNEW I'd have sons. KWIM?<br /><br />Even so, I had a feeling Noah was a boy. I just knew he was (mostly because I KNEW I'd have boys), even though almost everyone thought he was a girl. <br /><br />When it was confirmed that he was a boy, I am ashamed to admit that there was a little part of me that was kind of disappointed.<br /><br />As a couple of weeks went on I was no longer disappointed and I didn't want a girl in my belly, I wanted HIM in my belly and I wouldn't have traded him for a girl (even though he was still in my belly).<br /><br />And ever since then I have been THRILLED he was a boy. But I do admit that around 20 weeks pregnant I was mildly sad that he wasn't a girl, simply because I'm not sure I'll ever have a girl and I really want that adult relationship with a daughter.<br /><br />So there's my "crazy." Don't feel crazy.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379005476557830314noreply@blogger.com
