FTM- it’s a boy!

We got our NIPT tests back and found out we are having a boy! I swore up and down it was going to be a girl (mainly From having super vivid dreams) but had no preference either way. We are SO excited but I am having the hardest time thinking of boy names- all the names I fell in love with were girl names 😂 anyone else having this same thing happen? For anyone who has had a boy- what are some things to put on your registry that may have been more boy mom specific? Also - when do people usually share out their registries? TIA!

I had the same thing happen with my name choices! I had the perfect girl name picked out, but I'm having a boy, so that's out the window.

yesss the exact same thing happened to me!!! i was actually really sad it wasn’t a girl (i cried) and then i was mad at myself for being sad. lol. i’ll probably share my registry after my next ultrasound that confirms it’s a boy. i’m currently 15+3 and my next appointment is at 16 weeks

Same!! Following!!

I’m in a similar position. I don’t know the gender yet. Will find out soon but I have lots of girl names that I love not many boy names. There’s this cute app called baby name that lets you swipe on names. You can connect it with your partner and they can swipe on names and it will tell you when you match. They have filters for boy/ girl/ gender neutral. We both have matched on mainly girl names.

@Isabella I definitely need to try this! Thanks!!

@briyanna that’s a good idea, being double sure!! I think we’re going to do the same thing. Thanks!

Following! Literally the same thing happened to me! I swore it was a girl… like i just felt it in my gut… but it was a boy! So we also had to start from a scratch with names 😅

@briyanna lol literally same about swearing it was a girl, finding out it’s a boy, crying, then feeling bad about crying… what a whirlwind! I realized i think much of that crying emotion wasn’t because it was a boy, but because in my head i was thinking girl and visualizing that life, and suddenly everything i had been imagining changed combined with “oh how do i raise a boy?!” Thoughts that i hadn’t considered before all kicked in at the same time… and that’s a lot of emotions to handle! It’s okay to cry :)

Welp I was happy if it was a girl or boy as long as my genetics testing an everything came back that my baby was healthy so yes currently waiting on my Keigan Isaiah to come to momma 💙💙💙
