Awe Cher congratulations! Your family is perfect no matter what.
I know your bummed, & are allowed to be for however long necessary, but on the brightside: Yay for never having to teach a not yet mature preteen proper period hygiene!
Congratulations Cherhorowitz! There are no right or wrong feelings in any of this. I will say this - the world is in desperate need of good men, and every time I hear of a kick ass woman and family who gets to raise another kick ass boy, I am delighted.
I also need a fried chicken salad right now, so thanks a lot for that. I might have to hold the salad.
---- 39 years old, MH is 43 TTC since 2010; Dx Unexplained Infertility; possible male factor 6 IUIs, 1 IVF, 2 FETs, 1 mmc, 1 CP Started Adoption process Feb 2015, officially waiting July 2015
Congratulations!!! FWIW, I felt the same, but opposite, way when I found out DD2 was going to be a girl. We're pretty sure (H is sure, I thought I might be KU last month) we're done with babies, so it took some time to process the fact that I'll never have a son & it still makes me sad sometimes. Feel how you feel, and don't feel bad about feeling bad (I hope that makes sense!)
Also, let's talk about matching jammies. Because I defy you to find something more adorable than siblings in matching jammies.
And I mean, really? What can you do with daughters you can't do with sons? Sports, games, fashion, cooking, exploring, shopping, and 100% less clothing to sift through with glitter and the words "spoiled" or "princess" on them. There's no one way a boy or girl will or won't be.

Aww girl. Congrats!! I am sorry you are having all the feels right now. The good news is you already know that you are a badass boy mom and got that shit down. You haven't disappointed ANYONE because I can bet that you make awesome boys and the Universe is freaking lucky to have another one on its way.
Congrats! Feel whatever you want to feel. For what it's worth any future prom date of your son's will know enough to utilize your fashion knowledge and invite you along for prom dress shopping - only you'll have the added benefit of not having to foot the bill.
vandelay just made me want to have another son so I can dress him like the pope

Congrats! There is no other bond like mother/son, but you already know that. I was sad when I found out I was having a boy. I am now so thankful that he is. Again, congrats!!!

Congratulations! I had a moment when I found out DD2 was a girl where I was disappointed to never have a boy. It didn't help that even every time I told someone, the first response was "Oh, your husband must be disappointed."
Also this wanting to tell your IRL people was fine & all for the gender revel, but know your role when push time comes. Established order of need to know is: SO/grandparents/Internet message board😎
Congrats Cher! those feelings will disappear when your little boy arrives and your DS will have a built in best friend for life. I've always liked all boy's families, and you'll always be queen. 👑
Congratulations! There's no such thing as a "perfect" family, so don't worry about that. Plus, I have a boy and a girl and my DS adores me and DD only wants daddy, so sons are wonderful (as I'm sure you already know).
Lurker mom here who is a girly girl and has 2 boys. I am still sometimes sad that I won't have a girl, but I adore my boys and love that they are brothers. Plus, we've had some great Halloween costume duos (not that you can't do that with girls)- batman and robin, Mario and Luigi, Darth Vader and Yoda. I'm proud that I'm working hard on raising 2 boys who I hope will be awesome men. Like another poster said, the world is in need of some good men. Congrats and know that your feelings are normal.
