    When I had only girls, I was totally fine with that. When we were told that DS was a boy, that was pretty exciting, but we would have been perfectly happy with a girl too. I sort of hoped that DD5 was a boy, just for DS's sake. I thought it would be nice for him to have a brother close to him. But, we were not disappointed to learn that DD was a girl. Surprised, maybe. I really thought I was having another boy up until that point! Mostly though, I don't want people to be "disappointed for us" if you know what I mean. I want them to say "Another girl - what a blessing! Isn't she lovely." Not "Another girl... well... you sure have a lot of girls... too bad it wasn't a boy...."

    Definately felt that most people were sorry for us that dd3 was a girl. Like you cricket I wanted a boy for ds but I wanted a girl for me. If she was/is my last then I always imagined I'd have a girl. It was/is perfect for us. Ds knows no better.....yet lol


    Mean while no matter what sex my children are they are not letting me sleep at the moment is there a third sex that sleeps maybe, I want one of those

    But a 'friend' on Facebook mentioned how hard it was teaching her baby to 'self settle'. Things could never be that bad!!!!
