Agreed.

I can't imagine our household with a girl.

You better get used to the idea. Your son will bring home a daughter-in-law.

Not disappointed at all. I struggled with infertility for years so honestly I just feel grateful to have healthy kids regardless of gender.

I have two girls. I love them, but I often fantasize if having boys would have been less emotionally exhausting and stressful.

I have one of each, BUT I would have been more than happy, thrilled even, to have had two boys (or more). My son is so loving and sweet, he is so much fun to hang out with. He is intense about his passions yet mellow to be with. My daughter is an incredible dynamic force to be reckoned with, she wants to talk about everything, she is amazing and wonderful and we disagree about things A LOT more. If I had two boys life would be easy!

When I was pregnant with my first, I will admit to being disappointed when I found out he was a boy. I had always envisioned myself with a girl. However, from the moment I had him, I loved having a boy!

We ended up having three more kids-- one girl and two more boys. Admittedly, I would have been disappointed to not have had my daughter just so I could know what having a girl was like. I love the arrangement of kids that I have, and I would have never wanted to have the opposite and have three girls and one boy.

I find boys to be much more laid back and easier to manage.
