I went through a very similar thing 10 years ago. I cried my eyes out for days when I discovered I was expecting a girl.


So no judgement from this side. Obviously


What helped me was changing my outlook, instead of tripping balls over the fact that she was infact a she, I tried to focus on being thankful that she was a healthy she.


Lucky the name I had chosen was gender neutral, so that didn't need to change.


First time I laid eyes on her I was hopelessly inlove. Screw her not being a boy


I was a tomboy from the get go, Jordan was born wearing a crown.

But as she grew older and I watched my little princess' personality develop, I found we did have things in common, we were alike in many ways, and could enjoy activities together too.


When she was 4 she made it her personal mission to teach me how to "play dolls"... Lol


It was adorable, but she's smart and soon realized I was a hopeless case, even though I entertained her mission...

Luckily, she's been very open to radio controlled cars and loves gaming

So I've bought her a few and we ride the cars like maniacs or enjoy some gaming together.


I'm not the sporty type, so I'm glad she isn't either. Wouldn't know what to do with that...

Anyway, I just thought I would share, so that perhaps you don't feel so alone, or so horrible about this...

And remember:

A baby, a young child is much like silly putty.


As long as you don't mold her into your mother, she shouldn't grow up to be your mother.
