Twin Gender Disappointment

Rant

Me and my husband are having our 6th and 7th. Surprise twins. We have 2 boys and 3 girls. We were really hoping for at least one of each. Found out this morning they're both girls. Im like devastated. My husband is already pretty much over it, hes not the type to dwell on things like I am. But I basically havent stopped crying. This isn't my first time dealing with gender disappointment. Had it when my 4 year old daughter was thought to be a boy. I am right back to not even wanting to talk about them. Dont wanna talk names or anything. I'd probably be able to handle it better if my mom didnt live with us and talk down to me every single day and even though I had told her I was hoping for one of each all shes talked about is it being 2 more girls "we dont want anymore nasty boys" idk who this we is but it aint me. But she legit hates any man that isn't my brothers. And specifically my oldest brother. Im just about as stressed as you can get about this
