[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With my first, I had a mild preference for a boy (not sure why) and I had a girl. But I was delighted! I couldn't imagine having anything other than a lovely baby girl.

With my second pregnancy, I wanted another girl. Again not sure why - perhaps because I could only imagine loving a baby girl. But it was boy. And I was delighted again! Now he's here, I can't imagine having anything other than a wonderful toddler daughter and an adorable baby boy. I feel like the luckiest parent in the world.

I do sometimes wonder whether parents who have gender/sex disappointment will have many more disappointments over how their children turn out. In other ways, i.e. their interest in sport or academia, their sexual orientation, religious beliefs etc. I'm more of a "gardener" type of parent than a carpenter. So while I may have hopes for what my children might be, I'm delighted with whatever I get. [/quote]

This is our second and probably last child because I can't go through the stress of fertility treatments again. I'll be a little sad if I never get to have a little boy but I've loved having a girl and I'm just overjoyed to get to have a second child at all. [/quote]
