Recently I was thinking thinking of a labor and delivery moment, I thought I would share. I will spare you my birth story details except for one. After only 10 hours of labor (and a little bit of pushing), the nurse exclaimed, " that a girl!" "Its a girl", I cried (in happiness). "No. You're doing wonderful - THAT A GIRL!!" She cheered in a cheer-leader sort of way.
A few minutes later the doctor proclaimed, "its a boy!"
In only a few minutes, I went from thinking my second baby was a girl to finding out HE was a boy. Was I disappointed? Maybe for a split second. That was until I saw him for the very first time. Now I couldn't imagine my life any other way.

Oh, I don't know if I would have been mad at the nurse or what. I remember having my second child wanting a girl sooooo badly. We had to have a c-section and when she was delivered the dr said, it's a girl, and all I could keep saying was are you kidding? Are you sure? Is it really a girl. I was so happy, but just could not believe it. We had no girl names picked, or anything. I was afraid I would not get a girl and I didn't want to be disappointed, so I just convinced myself it was a boy and there! Isn't life funny?!
what a thing to hear incorrectly! we knew it was a girl going in but i had to inspect myself to make sure. because i was sure it was a boy too! i kept asking - is it a girl? really? let me SEE! that's a cute post.
Too funny! I know what you mean - once they're there, they are perfect in every way. They simply couldn't be different.

Oh...Gosh...
That would have been confusing...
And what a sweet, handsome boy he's growing up to be.
We were sure our second was a boy, for some reason and when she was a girl, we had the split seond disappointment too, but then we saw her and it didn't matter at all! That was a bad thing to hear wrong though!
Sweet story! He is perfect and healthy in every way! I couldn't imagine any of our lives with out him!!!
♡ I think I would have been a little let down too, until like you said you got to see and hold your new little baby boy!
How funny is that? Clearly your little boy has blessed you in a big way.
I have the EXACT same experience! I'd known already he was a boy, so when I hear'd "That's a girl" as I was pushing, I said "No, it's a BOY!" almost angrily. The doc giggled. The next two were girls, so I have 2 of each now. Thanks for stopping by my site! Now I get to read yours!!
And that is why I found of the the sex before birth ;) Cute story.
I couldn't even imagine. Of course I didn't know what my first baby was for 10 minutes and the whole time I was pregnant I thought it was a boy. So I was still a bit surprised to see I had a daughter!
HAHAHA! When we had our second child, my husband saw the ubilical cord coming between our baby's legs and exclaimed "It's a boy!" and the doctor looks at him and goes "No, it is a GIRL!"
LMAO We already had a boy and I wanted a girl!
OH that's just cruel funny. I know what you mean though - a blessing either way!
HAHAHAHA!
It totally would have been my worst nightmare - I hope for ALL boys! I love 'em!
I would have been worried getting two responces
Cute story
I think I would've been confused too. I knew what we were having. Though I was so sure it was a boy and at the ultrasound she said it looks like a girl. She(my daughter) must have known we could only agree on a girl name.
Haha... oops, NURSE!
Oh, what a story! I can see how you might have been a bit confused.
Have a good Friday, Amy - see ya - Kellan
I love that ... Boys really can steal their Momma's heart, can't they?
My best friend is going to a mother/daughter banquet tonight, and for some reason it made me think of this post. I love my son so much, but every now and then I do think about a girl of course.
I was so sure my second would be a girl. When everyone shouted, "It's a boy!" I was actually very angry, until, like you, they layed him on my chest and I looked into his eyes. It was love at first sight.
