But now he's even MORE pissed I moved across the country, lol. Poor guy, finally will have another man in his life (even my step mom has 2 daughters, and I'm 1 of 3) and we're thousands of miles away... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-11970 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 20:38:40 +0000 jennylynn 11970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry you didn't get the news you wanted :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-11941 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 19:55:18 +0000 Andrea 11941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw, I know a few friends who were really bummed to be having boys at first but now everyone is very happy. The disappointment will fade. Congrats on having a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-11937 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 19:49:03 +0000 MsMini 11937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am sorry that you aren't happy with the gender, but I am sure that you will adjust with time. My best friend really wanted a girl, and ended up having a boy first, and now that she has a couple kids, she can't imagine not having him first. Once you start shopping and looking around and get used to the idea, I am sure you will be so happy to have your little baby boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-11932 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 19:41:37 +0000 sorrycharlie 11932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@navy_mommy: aw, I'm sorry to hear that! we also have had an easier time brainstorming girls' names, but have had an easier time thinking boy-nursery than girl. kind of weird. I'm sure once you get used to it it'll all be okay..take a trip to your local babies r us and just browse the boy clothes and the boy bedding and imagine having a sweet, round-faced little thing that loves his momma ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-11777 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 15:36:00 +0000 Navy_Mommy 11777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jbhops - yeah, he's in the Navy (thus the username, lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-11759 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 15:20:36 +0000 mediagirl 11759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations on a healthy baby boy!!! I'm sure you will find a wonderful name for your little one. And just think, you don't have to decorate your nursery in any special way. Just buy some stuff you think you'd like to have in a little boys room - blue, green, tan - zoo animals. Stuff like that. :) Is your husband in the military? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-11756 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 15:16:33 +0000 MamaLove 11756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats on a healthy baby! And give yourself some time to deal with the idea of having a baby boy. Gender disappointment is very real. I think a lot of people don't talk about it, because they feel a little ashamed that they aren't having what they wanted. But it's VERY COMMON. And once you have the baby, you'll never be able to imagine your life without a son! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-11734 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:47:59 +0000 carrieknitscake 11734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww, it'll mean that he'll be a protective big brother to a little sister one day. As much as my brother annoyed me growing up, he always had my back and hated when guys I dated treated me bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-11678 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:08:30 +0000 HLK208 11678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww, I cried when I found out I was having a boy too but after about a month you'll adjust and finally when you meet him, gender won't matter! He'll be the most precious, amazing human you've ever laid eyes on!<br /> Besides, he can be the protective older brother if you ever decide to have a second child (or try for a girl!)<br /> Boys sure do love their moms, girls do too but there's something special between a mother and her son :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-11656 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 13:54:52 +0000 Navy_Mommy 11656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SorryCharlie - I'm having trouble accepting it. I have no idea what to do with the nursery; my personal taste SCREAMS 100% girl, and my husband isn't here and won't be till the last few weeks before the due date. I'm really not drawn to any boys names. It's just hard to imagine having a boy, to be quite honest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-11647 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 13:48:52 +0000 winniebee 11647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww!! A bouncing baby boy though - they are so fun and active and nothing beats a little boy's love for his momma! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-11636 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 13:36:39 +0000 tequiero21 11636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>=( @ navy_mommy - sorry you didn't get what you wanted but thank goodness for healthy babies, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-11593 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 13:05:36 +0000 chopsuey 11593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was super anxious about my A/s! I actually thought I was having a boy.. so imagine my surprise when I found out we were having a girl!! It took some time to get excited about it, but I'm SO SO SO happy I have a daughter now :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-11592 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 13:05:17 +0000 MaisyMay 11592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats on the little man joining your family. He may not have been what you were planning for, but he'll keep things fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-11589 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 13:01:10 +0000 sorrycharlie 11589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>eta - congratulations on a healthy babe! are you okay with the news?

I've always wanted a momma's boy, but DH really wants a girl! </p> <p>this post is getting me all excited for a baby that's not even conceived yet! LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-10883 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 15:11:05 +0000 Navy_Mommy 10883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21 - here are the projects I've done so far:<br /> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i3HBu9qfrCA/TpX47heIbxI/AAAAAAAAAOY/Hr7Z-SD_hT0/s1600/DIY_knit_kitty_blanket_2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i3HBu9qfrCA/TpX47heIbxI/AAAAAAAAAOY/Hr7Z-SD_hT0/s1600/DIY_knit_kitty_blanket_2.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3lUaWYFyH0E/Tqm1ssCspwI/AAAAAAAAASQ/Vph9jxKL9kU/s1600/DIY_boob_hat_with_nipple.png" rel="nofollow">http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3lUaWYFyH0E/Tqm1ssCspwI/AAAAAAAAASQ/Vph9jxKL9kU/s1600/DIY_boob_hat_with_nipple.png</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-10865 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 14:48:01 +0000 LivsMama 10865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was one of those who took forever. My first A/S at 20 weeks was 3 hours long . Baby girl would NOT cooperate. We finally got the gender after 2.5 hours, but they still couldnt get accurate heart or abdominal measurements, so I had to go back a week later. That one took about 45 minutes.</p> <p>Wishing you the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-10843 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 14:37:35 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 10843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eep!!! I wish you a girl. I want one so bad too and my A/S is tomorrow. Not sure they will see it though. Thinking of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-10813 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 13:48:46 +0000 lavender 10813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 1/2 hrs? I would be going mad!

Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-10759 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 12:41:55 +0000 Navy_Mommy 10759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and as for knitting, right now I'm making a stuffed elephant for the baby. This is only my third project, lol. First i made a little Kitty-cat blankie thing, then i made a boob hat (for breastfeeding, lol). I wish I could post pictures, I would show them off! There are pictures on my blog though (there's a link in my profile). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-tomorrow#post-10750 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 12:32:12 +0000 HabesBabe 10750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG. I didn't know those appointments take so long! I would go mad. Or beat Angry Birds.</p> <p>Good luck tomorrow! I want a girl sooooooo badly too. I know this will be a long 24 hours! </p>
