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...."
