you found out the gender? We didn't.
We were extremely happy but just not moved to tears. People keep asking if we cried and I feel a little weird saying... nope.
-
I cried both times. (not in an excited way)
-
Well... we did both cry. But we were Team Green so we were mostly crying because she was here, and not so much just because she was girl.
-
I got teary-eyed with DS, because even though he wouldn't say it, I knew my husband wanted a boy, and I was so happy he was going to be getting a son.
When we found out #2 was a girl, I cried! the tech even gave me a tissue, because there was no doubt I was crying. I was so excited we were having a little girl.ETA: my husband didn't cry...not one bit. he's not a crier
-
I don't remember. I think we were teary eyed just seeing the ultrasounds. I really wanted a girl though and was scared to jinx it!
-
I cried when she was born and it was for sure a girl. I think I've cried more now that she is here because I think of things she will do: pick Out a wedding gown, go to college, dance with her daddy at her wedding, stuff like that.
-
sadly, I was a little disappointed...so definitely didn't cry.
*Totally love her and wouldn't have it any other way! It just took me a while to adjust.
-
@autumnlove: hmm what were your emotions when you cried?
@sarbear: i feel u! i felt relief when we found out it was a boy because I knew it would make my husband sooo happy.
-
We cried, but it was because she was JUST born and we were pretty emotional lol
-
Nope. Neither one of us either time.
-
@Glitter: I was kinda disappointed...I really wanted a boy! But I think I'll be ok if we have another girl for #3.
Congrats!!!!
-
@autumnlove: I understand. I really wanted a girl, but the fact that DH was getting his wish kept me from being disappointed.
Thank you!
-
Yes because we were TG and the moment was just so emotional!
-
We were team green so we were pretty teary but more because she was finally here, not because she was a girl. It was more surprise, because we were sure it was a boy.
Later on I cried a LOT thinking of all the things we will get to do together- pick out prom dress, wedding dress, dance with Dh at her wedding. I think deep deep deep down I always wanted a daughter but was so convinced she was a boy I never thought it, so when I realized I got all those things with her, plus post partum hormones.... Lots of tears.
-
No crying. I was really happy but more surprised! I was convinced I was having a boy so when the doctor told me the baby was a girl (via the 20 wk anatomy scan), all I could say was "Really???" and he asked "uh is that okay?"
-
No, but I wanted a girl so I screamed with excitement. But no tears!
-
Nope i was shocked and then really happy!
-
We were both teary eyed, and thrilled. I was convinced we were having a girl, and the affirmation was a little overwhelming.
-
With my first, I did because I had no clue what to do with a boy! I grew up with three sisters. After a few weeks, I was so excited about having a boy.
With my second, I was sure it was a boy, and honestly overwhelmed when we found out it was a girl because we had to buy all new clothes.
Now, with my third, I really would like a girl so we can save money and use every thing girly we already have (clothing isn't old as DD is only 17 months). But I'll be happy either way.
-
We were team green, but my dr's secretary accidentally gave me some paperwork with the gender on it while I was at an appointment by myself. So I was too shocked to cry.
And then had to keep it a secret for the rest of pregnancy because my husband didn't want to know. He found out at the birth so I did cry a little bit then.
-
I burst into tears and laughed at the same time!
-
@betsyboop: haha that's funny!
@Sapphiresun: Wow I would have been kinda upset if I found out accidentally after trying to be patient, but I guess sometimes these things happen.
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: now that's what I call a perfect reaction!
-
Yes! I cried happy tears. And continued to cry the rest of the day when I told friends and family. DH didn't cry but he was definitely excited.
-
We were shocked! We thought we were having a girl (based on a previous ultrasound). DH just stared and stared at the screen with the sweetest expression on his face.
-
I didn't cry, but DH did! He wanted a boy so badly that when we saw girl parts, I was worried he'd be dissappointed. He was actually thrilled to have a daddy's girl and cried big, fat, happy tears! I was shocked and excited, but didn't tear up. I think I giggled all day though
-
Nope, but the second time around I got a little more excited/sentimental because I understood what having another boy meant and it was exactly what we wanted.
-
Not right away, but in the couple of days that followed, yes. We were convinced we were having a boy and had gotten so used to that idea-- then at 17wks we found out she was a she. It felt like we didn't know who the baby was anymore!
Writing that sounds a little crazy looking back!
-
@autumnlove: my DH almost cried finding out we were having a boy, in a disappointed way
I didn't cry
-
No we didn't cry but we were extremely over joyed
-
No, neither of us cried, but we were both very shocked and giddy.
-
I screamed are you serious? I really wanted a girl and so glad I got one! I cried during our first ultrasound that there was a heartbeat.
-
@HLK208: @lemondrop: So excited for your babies!!!!
@rachiecakes: I tried to hide it from DH and the tech but I ended up bawling!
-
@sarbear: Same!!
I was emotional for DH when we found out #1 was a boy because that's what he really wanted. I cried when we found out #2 was a girl because I've always really wanted a daughter.
-
We both were a little teary, but also were Team Green so I think we were just thrilled she was finally here, but would have been just as teary with a boy.
-
I actually did, because I found out over the phone that there were no chromosomal issues and that she was a girl. So full blown tears were already in effect!
-
I cried at that ultrasound but just because I was happy to have a healthy baby. I do think the gender made it all feel more real to me too.
