I recently cut my hair it used to be really long into a pixie cut. I thought it looked pretty cute but apparently, I look like a boy now because of my short hair I am definitely a girl.
A lot of people think so and call me a boy. Some people are just plain rude about it but others are genuinely confused, but either way I end up awkwardly standing there as my parent explains that I just have short hair. Every time this happens I wish I had something to say back, a badass response for the rude people and a subtle way to correct the confused people… any ideas? You are the third girl in a week who emailed asking what to say when people get your gender wrong.

Now, here we are, 13 weeks later. My doctor wanted to check my fluid levels sorry, TMI and ordered an ultrasound for me last Thursday. Picture this: My husband, David, and I waltz into the ultrasound room, excited to see our little man. I lay down, the technician squirted the gel all over my stomach, pulled up the image on the television screen and said, "Your baby girl looks perfectly healthy!
Several days and one more third-party ultrasound technician opinion later who, for the record, unanimously agreed that we are percent having a little girl , the shock remains. Our second child, whom we've already named with a boy name, bought boy clothes for and made a boy nursery for is That's some crazy news when you're only about five weeks from meeting her, right?! Crazy, but unbelievably exciting. It's hard to put into words how we feel.
First of all, David and I feel so blessed to have a healthy second baby growing and ready to meet us soon. And, while we were beyond thrilled to have another little boy, we are over the moon excited about the fact that she's a little girl. Seriously, what incredible news! It's like this little creature we had no clue existed in the world has been with us the whole time. It's surreal. For those of you who are wondering, apparently the original gender confirmations were made in error due to some hormone-surged swollen little girl parts.
Again, TMI, but it can happen, apparently. So here we are! I'm weeks pregnant and had my son at 38 weeks, meaning that we've probably got about five weeks to find this sweet little girl a name, some clothes and a nursery. But one thing is for certain- she's already got a huge spot in my and David's hearts and in our little family of soon-to-be four.
Have any of you ever had a mistaken gender confirmation?! We keep laughing that at least we found out now and not in the delivery room I'd love to hear your stories!
Join now to personalize. You heard me right. Baby 2 is a she! Baby girl? David awkward laughed and said, "Ha! You mean our baby boy?
