[quote=Anonymous]I wanted a girl and had mild disappointment when I learned that I'm expecting a boy. I'm an only child but was fairly close to my cousins growing up, 4 out of 5 of whom were girls. I wasn't a super girly girl and I'm still not into stereotypical girl stuff like shopping and make up, etc but I'm also not into sports and physical risk taking, which I associate with boys due to stereotypes. DH has 3 nieces and one nephew, and I love them all but have found it easier to bond with the girls due to shared interests. And I understand their developmental milestones better since I've been there. I like keeping a clean and orderly house, which may be harder with a boy (but I understand that girls can be messy, too.) For reasons like these I've always wanted to have a daughter but that doesn't mean I won't love raising a son. He'll take me out of my comfort zone and teach me ways to bond with him in ways I can't imagine right now. I'm looking forward to his arrival![/quote]
