I can understand the confusion,expecting a girl, but along comes a boy. Sounds as if he is healthy and well. Some of these feelings are normal with all new moms (the blues) BUT if you start feeling REALLY down, unable to function, crying often, thoughts of harm to yourself or your baby, this is not normal, and you need to see MD ASAP. When I had Miss Priss #2 I felt odd all during the pregnancy, it was a surprise, and we had had a pregnancy loss the year before. When they put her in my arms after delivery I was like OK, I love you but don't feel "bonded". A few days later we were at home, and Miss Priss was nursing hungrily, sucking and smacking, had milk all over her face and seemed so content to be nursed, the feelings just kind of came together.
