We didn't worry about gender with the first 3 and were happy to take whatever we got LOL, but with #4, we really wanted to even things up so we gender swayed for a boy and I was so worried that it wouldn't work out and that we'd have another girl, not that it mattered that much, but still, it would have been nice to have another boy kwim? So even though DH didn't want to know what we were having at the scan, I still asked because I was there on my own anyway. When he said he was 80% sure it was a boy, I felt like I was floating on air and I had this feeling of serenity. I even managed to sneakily buy 2 blue outfits later that day and hid them from DH. But I didn't want to set myself up for disappointment, so I tried not to focus on it too much. But when he was born and he was definitely a he, I was beyond ecstatic! DH was overjoyed and even now he's 3, I look at him every day and still can't believe that we got another boy.
