It's a.......

Girl!!

And I'm completely terrified! (#1 was a boy) I'm sure we'll all be fine, but I'm having a hard time imagining myself as the mother of a girl (strange, since I am a girl!). Anyone else ever have this dilemma?

Congrats!

I do have the same worry, but opposite. I have a daughter. I think this one is also a girl, but I will be completely flummoxed if it is a boy.

Congratulations!! :)

My very good friend asked (not 10 minutes after having her son), "What do I do with a boy?" since she has an almost 3 year old daughter... I laughed (I have two boys) and said, "You feed him, love him, hold him, change him... just like your daughter". :D It's true!

You'll have time to adjust to how boys are different from girls by the time s/he is old enough to start exhibiting the different traits big time. They are different, but they need the same things from us as Moms right? :) Or at least that's what I hear.

I have 1 boy 2 girls and had the same EXACT thoughts when I was having my second one. I LOVE ALL my children but girls are definately THE BEST! You will see :)

Well, I have a boy and my fear is the same as yours - a GIRL? What to do with a girl? But, I'm sure after the babe is born it will come naturally - just as having a boy did!

Congrats mama!!

I have a girl and feel this one is a girl as well, I can't imagine how shocked I will be if the baby is born a boy :lol

Congratulations on your daughter!! :love

I've been saying that I'll be happy either way. However, I just ordered some ShooShoos before they go out of business and strangely enough I picked out two girl pairs and only one boy pair. Maybe I'm secretly hoping for another girl?

Of course now that I've said that out loud, I'm sure we'll see a huge wang on the ultrasound! :lol

Congrats! That was me last pregnancy...what in the world am I going to due? I will say that it is a completely different experience. Bonus, the feeling of what next, will fade but the bond you and you daughter will have will last a lifetime :love I think about my mom when I stare into my daughter eyes and think how I talk to her twice a day everyday. How we connect in general...and I cannot wait until DD and I have those "moments".

Do others find their self in the dilemna of what to do? YES
Does it subside? OF COURSE

Congrats! We won't be finding out the sex until the baby is born, but if it's a boy, holy crap I won't know what to do! I keep imagining all those boys that sit around ramming trucks together and having their toys shoot each other and saying to myself, "oh no, what if I have a son and he's like that?". Then I have to calm myself and realize that the way those boys are likely a result of how they have been parented rather than an innate need to smash and shoot things. :lol

[rebeccalizzie]

Congrats!!! I'm the same way about a boy...I have no idea what to do with a boy!

We'll see I guess...I'm sure I'll love a boy just as much as my wonderful DD!

Congrats on having a girl! They are a lot of fun. I feel the same way though except if this is a boy I'm going to freak out. All the boys I know are so rough and tumble and well, I'm just not really tolerant of kids jumping off tables and the top of the couch. Or maybe like the pp said it's because they're allowed to do it.
