If they had found a penis at our anatomy scan, my eyeballs would have fallen out of my head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155744 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:16:11 +0000 Springtime 1155744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I had a strong gut feeling both times. I knew as soon as I found out I was pregnant with #1 it was a boy, and it was.</p> <p>With #2 I started to get a gut feeling around 12 weeks it was a girl, and it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155708 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:06:23 +0000 lemondrop 1155708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely shocked both times, we were expecting girls both times, and were thrilled to find boys (thrilled either way, but really wanted two boys!) We had tons of girl names, but boy names have come harder to decide on. </p> <p>I'm still surprised #2 is a boy, while my pregnancy side effects are exactly the same, I'm carrying entirely different this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155699 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:04:27 +0000 cascademom 1155699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't too surprised by LO's gender. Everyone wanted him to be a girl, but I had such a strong feeling that he's a boy. I was right. Last night, DH remarked about hopefully not having another boy because LO is so full of energy and strong willed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155688 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:00:17 +0000 LuLu Mom 1155688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shocked, we both thought boy and when she said girl I was so happy! I would have been happy either way (either first grandson or my dream of a little girl) but I thought for sure it was a boy! Next time I don't care, I will be happy with either again (my dad got his grandon in July so he's happy!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155680 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:59:02 +0000 banana 1155680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: Team green is SO FUN!! Can't wait to hear what you're having! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155676 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:58:32 +0000 MrsF 1155676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were shocked. Everyone in DH's family always has boys. He has 4 brothers and we have 3 nephews. M is definitely the princess of the family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155612 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:45:55 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1155612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We really think we are having a boy, we will know in a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155539 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:29:24 +0000 banana 1155539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't that surprised with #1 (boy) but I was pretty surprised with #2 (girl). I thought I would be a mom to two boys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155523 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:25:32 +0000 Mrsjets 1155523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really wanted a boy with our first and thought boy from the beginning so it wasn't too surprising. With this one I really want a girl and feel like it's a girl but who knows...find out on Wednesday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155517 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:23:40 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1155517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both times I was absolutely shocked!</p> <p>With #1, everyone convinced me I was having a boy. My mom even knit me two blue sweaters and two blue hats! When we found out it was a girl at 15 weeks, it was such a pleasant surprise.</p> <p>With #2, we were SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER shocked it was a girl. I had been told at 14 weeks that my doctor was 90% sure it was a boy. Of course, I believed her since we found out at 15 weeks with #1. Also, the pregnancies were totally different. I had morning sickness the first time, and NONE the second. I had severe fatigue the first time, and NONE the second. This time, I am all belly, where as the first time I gained weight in my whole body. When we found out at 20 weeks that #2 is indeed a girl, IT WAS SHOCKING. I was shaking I was so excited and DH teared up because it was such a big surprise!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155514 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:22:49 +0000 JoJoGirl 1155514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES!

HAHA<br /> lovely surprises :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155503 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:19:10 +0000 Charm54 1155503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were TG...when she came out, Dh announced: "It's a girl!!!" While at the same time, the nurse said "it's a boy!!!"</p> <p>Lol...I was so confused and obviously believed the nurse since she has a medical background and everything. Turns out my husband was right and we have a sweet baby girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155501 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:18:28 +0000 heartonastring 1155501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG, YES! We were Team Green and through my whole pregnancy we were CONVINCED I was carrying a boy. Like, I was SO certain about it I would have bet almost anything. So when she was born and she was a girl we were in total disbelief! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155494 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:17:06 +0000 illumina 1155494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very. We were convinced she was going to be a he. It took a few days to get over that once we'd had our early gender scan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155468 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:11:23 +0000 dolphin 1155468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not surprised. Maybe because we were hoping for a girl and it was! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155458 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:07:48 +0000 GrapeCrush 1155458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i knew DS was a boy immediately! i was not in the least bit surprised when they told me boy at the ultrasound.<br /> with DD, i think mentally i was preparing myself to hear boy(again) , that i was surprised when they said girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155451 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:06:17 +0000 Alivoo01 1155451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

I was convinced we were having a boy that I had convinced everyone who asks about it but she was a girl and I couldn't be happier. Also we were team green. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155359 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:45:59 +0000 Smurfette 1155359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I didn't really have a gut feeling either way. I just REALLY wanted a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155357 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:44:57 +0000 JessKas 1155357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were team green and I was SO shocked when she was a she. All sorts of people had told me it was a boy, and pretty much everyone I know has had boys lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155352 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:43:29 +0000 MrsRcCar 1155352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always said I want a boy first. I got my boy first. I thought for sure that this one was going to be girl because my pregnancies have been so different. Man was I surprised when they said boy! I am thrilled but I was defiantly shocked. I am hoping that my boys are similar in being laid back. I guess we will see... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155337 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:38:56 +0000 BabyMats 1155337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We really thought it was a girl both of us were mentally ready for a girl but it was a boy and I'm so glad he is :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155333 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:38:03 +0000 artsyfartsy 1155333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but I shouldn't have been! All signs pointed to boy, everyone kept telling me it was a boy, but I was still holding on to my dream of my little girl I wanted. When I found out he was a boy I was shocked! But happy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155325 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:36:24 +0000 littlek 1155325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both DH and I were positive it was a boy and we were right. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155315 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:33:12 +0000 MamaMoose 1155315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a bit. If she had been a boy though I think my husband and I would have told them they gave us the wrong baby. We were team green but we were SO sure she was a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-surprised-at-your-los-gender#post-1155314 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:32:03 +0000 BelugaBean 1155314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't surprised at all.

I don't even know why I cried!</p> <p>I remember saying "I don't know why I'm crying! We knew it would be one or the other!" </p>
