Yes.
I’m the youngest and the only girl, born after seven boys. My oldest brother is 18 years older than me, and the brother closest in age is five years older.
My parents originally planned to have three kids, but they kept trying for a girl. After seven boys, they decided to stop and gave up on the idea of ever having a daughter. They were both pretty heartbroken about it. Then, when my youngest brother was five, they decided to try one more time — and that’s when I came along.
They were overjoyed, and honestly, we had a really great childhood, very spoiled, no complaining or regret.
