06-7-2009 - Not Sure

My mood while writing this blog: relaxed

I may need some advice, not to sure on how to handle this situation! I have a 9 yr old daughter and she is soooo excited about this baby! She is dead set she wants it to be a girl and she is dying to come to the u/s with my husband and me! I have issues with that!I have had 2 other babies since her and she did not come because she wasn't old enough and plus she never really asked! Now according to my Dr office she is allowed to come! My deal with that is.... what if something is wrong? I do not know if I can emotionally handle myself in front of her and then have to explain whatever is going on and help her deal with her emotions!I mean she would be just as devastated as me(or close).On the other hand this is my last baby and it would be pretty special to have my oldest with us especially if it turned out to be a girl! I have had 2 boys since her! I have many emotions about this and I do not want to explain the exact reasons why Im scared for her to come to her or should I?Has anyone had to deal with this if so id like some advice if not I would still like advice and opinions! I may need a different perspective who knows!

wow, she sounds like my 9 year old daughter! She wanted this to be a girl soo bad, (thankfully she got her wish) I wanted her to go with me for the u/s but my doctor will not allow it. Now at the 12 week u/s she was there, only because I took her not knowing I wasn't supposed to. Go with your instincts, but I think she would be fine going.

I always say go with your gut instinct... if you feel like there is just some reson for her not to be there, even if you can't figure out what it it, than you should stick with that. Maybe you can tell her that you don't want to other two children to be jealous or upset so you think it's best that you go and come home and tell the 3 of them together...?
