What were your biggest pregnancy surprises and pet peeves?
in Pregnancy ·
Honestly, I’m not really out here trying to get under anyone's skin, but if I am, it’s purely intentional—just a little bit of spite 😂😂
. I know I can be a bit of a troublemaker... I find myself telling everyone that I’m definitely having a girl. I’ve even started talking to my belly as if it’s already a daughter, mostly because I have this nagging feeling that deep down, everyone is secretly rooting for a boy. Now, nobody has ever actually said that to my face, but I just know it based on my own family history. For instance, my mom has two daughters, and she was always so incredibly desperate for a son. To be fair to her, it wasn't even about thinking boys were better; she just genuinely believed life would be easier for them. Her grandkids are already playing with their cousins, and I think she’s just eyeing another grandson to round things out. Plus, since there are only women in my family tree, I feel like everyone is collectively hoping for a boy to break the streak. So, to stay one step ahead, I just tell everyone it’s going to be a girl and leave it at that. Truthfully, I’d love to have a little girl, but of course, a boy would be just as wonderful 😍
