ultrasound results

Well, I finally had my next ultrasound, after what has seemed like forever, and did find out the sex. It is a girl. I am happy but sad, I really wanted to give hubby a boy and I also felt like a boy would have been much easier to raise. I am filled with so much doubt now. If I have a prissy girl I will not know how to relate to her. I am a farm girl, I hate to wear dresses and the color pink, I hate painting my nails and I don't even wear makeup. There is no place for any of that stuff on farms and thats how I was raised and still am that way. What if I have a girl that wants all that stuff? What will I do? Will I be a good mom? Hubby says its okay, he will still teach her to fish, do woodworking, run electrical and all those things he likes to do. I am just worried that if we decided not to have another child that a boy would have been better. I am really scared of having another one at this point, because with the diabetes thing and the other complications I have had with this one, what if next time is worse? Besides, the more pregnancies I have the higher risk I have of developing diabetes later in life. That is a truely devastating disease that i want no part of! I have been around it fiirst hand for the last 7 years of my life and it is really scary. i have always said I didn't believe in only 1 child beacuse then that kid gets too spoiled. but I said that before I got pregnant and started going through everything. I have got to quit with the "I will nevers" it bites me in the butt every time. I think God laughs and says "wanna bet?" I guess there is always the option of adoption, huh?

It's a girl!? I was RIGHT!
She probably won't be girly. I mean, she'll learn what she's been taught. If you're not girly and prissy then maybe your baby won't be? Right? Just don't treat her like a baby doll and maybe she won't be girly. I don't know...
Anyway, DON'T WORRY SO MUCH!
