I could never imagine having anything other than boys. Both times I thought I was having boys. Everyone else thought I was having boys.

I have two girls.

Now I can't imagine having anything other than girls.

I do think that we have a certain idea of what our "son" or "daughter" might be like. I imagined my boys to be cheeky, smart yet sensitive and kind to their mother. DD1 is exactly that personality yet in a girl's body . She climbs trees taller than the house, describes things as being "nice and dirty", tells off boys twice her age and winds down the car window to yell hello to people as we're driving around town.

Tonight the bedtime stories of choice were The Titanic Story (for DD1) and Railroader Magazine (for DD2).

If I'd had a certain image in my head of what I thought my girls would be like, I think DD1 at least would have turned that on its head.

To answer the question rather than waffling about my children ... I can't imagine wanting a particular sex sooooooo much that I would be prepared to discard embryos of another sex but I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say that it shouldn't be allowed. Dunno.
