Dealing With Gender Disappointment {My Real Story}

I've debated writing this since we found out what baby #2 is because every time I think about it, I feel like the worst mom in the history of the universe. I decided to swallow my pride and write my story because after speaking with other close friends and family members I realized that I wasn't alone, and I don't want you to feel alone if it is something that you have been going through as well. My intention by writing this is not to offend those who may not understand the topic or who are in the process of trying to conceive. My intention is to spread awareness that those who do deal with this are not alone and that it is perfectly natural.

This is a topic that is probably going to rub a lot of people the wrong way. You may get angry over this post, or you may completely understand and relate to it. I hope for the latter but regardless of the outcome I truly feel like gender disappointment is a topic that needs to be more out in the open.

When you find out you're pregnant, your first though is for a happy healthy baby, and the next is typically hoping for a specific gender. This isn't the case for everyone, but for a lot it is. And gender disappointment is a real thing.

This is my story.

Breakfast Comfort Foods {Blog Mama Blog Community Link Up}


Breakfast is the most important part of your day. How many times in your life have you heard that? Do you agree or disagree?

For many, breakfast is not only the most important part, but their favorite part as well!

Confession: I am not a morning person.

I hate the feeling of opening your eyes to early in the morning, getting up, having to get ready, make breakfast, eat, and get on the with the day. Why can't I just stay in bed until I feel like getting up!?

Oh yeah. I'm a mom!

One thing that I do love about the mornings though, is breakfast. I really love breakfast foods and as much as I hate actually making breakfast, I do enjoy eating it.

It's fun to shop for new clothes and accessories for my kids, but with a busy schedule in and outside the house, it's next to impossible to find the time to get to an actual store and usually if I need to get clothing and other items I have visit more than one store.  Thankfully there is this little thing called the Internet and on it are thousands of online stores for shopping for clothing and other items for my kids.
