[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adrian is a lovely name for a child of any gender. OP, you are so strong!  I really admire you![/quote]

Thank you, that's so kind - words of affirmation are definitely my love language so this whole thread has been a balm for me.

That said, I don't feel especially strong a lot of the time, it's still a lot to process and is hard sometimes. I feel like things are probably headed in a male direction (but who knows), and I definitely got wistful seeing a mom and her daughter at the grocery store yesterday since I sense that's not in the cards for me. I know gender disappointment can affect any parent, but it feels a bit different to be told your baby's a girl and has XX chromosomes and then end up seeing your imagined daughter potentially go up in a puff of smoke anyway. I've tried finding the humor in it though - my husband's family skews very male, so before this pregnancy I assumed I'd only have sons anyway, but I told him I was really impressed with the strength of his genes - who'd have thought that even if we scrounged up two X chromosomes to rub together, they'd still find a way to try and turn them into a boy.  :lol:

But you don't know - your child will likely identify as non-binary anyway.  [/quote]
