I can relate too your feelings. My son was supposed to be a girl. All the signs pointed to it. Different pregnancy than my first, etc, etc. I didn't even believe them when they said he was a boy ! A few weeks after his birth I remember sitting and rocking him, with tears streaming down my cheeks. He was our second child, and I really also wanted a girl. Now, 26 years later, he is a wonderful and loving gentleman. I miss not having a daughter, but I do love my son very much. I didn't have a sister, nor a daughter, so I do feel I have missed that particular relationship. I've been able to enjoy other's daughters, and other family members have had daughters, but not as many as possible. Two sister-in-laws had three sons before having daughters. We just didn't want to take the change. So, I do relate to your feelings, and of course, if you get more depressed, please see someone who can help you work through your feelings.

I just had a baby two and a half weeks ago. I love my son but he was supposed to be a girl. I feel like I have lost a child. I feel sad, sometimes I find myself tryying to convince myself that it is ok that he is a boy. Then I feel guilty becuase I should just be happy he is helthy. But I miss my little girl. My sister in-law called and toled us she was pregnant and I have become even more depressed, because I just know she is going to get my little girl. It makes me want to get pregnant again. Are these feelings normal and will they pass? Four ultrasounds said it was a girl, and he was a well endowed six pound boy
