    I too had never pictured myself with a little boy, but my DS is so awesome I wouldn't have it any other way!

    He is so much fun and so full of energy. He's not a rough boy, he is gentler than most of the little girls his age. He is so affectionate, always giving me kisses and cuddles without me having to ask!
    He loves being outside more than anything - just wandering around and picking up dirt or rocks. He is so interested in the world around him.

    Honestly, once you have your little boy in your arms you won't want it any other way .

    Shazzi - I will fully admit that I cried when I found out I was pg with my DS. I am such a girly girl and I just didn't know anything about boys. I am so glad I found out at 20 weeks so I could used to the idea, that's how set I was on having a girl. Well - I LOVE having a boy. He is loving and hysterically funny. He is, I must admit, very active, but then he sleeps really well . He amuses himself with his 'building site' that he has built out in the backyard, but also loves to cook and paint and help me around the house. As for the 'dressing' part, I initally was sad because I thought I would miss out on the thrill of dressing a little girl, but dressing DS is just as fun - I love finding cool tshirts and funky jeans for him, and I've been styling his hair since he was about 1 and a half (much to DH's horror ).
    The other thing I have found with DS and his friends is they are all so cruisy. Nothing much seems to worry them. DS definiately can have a tantrum like the next kid, but he seems to get over it easily.

    Shazzi, firstly let me just say that I was never going to find out the sex of my second because I so desperately wanted a girl, that I didn't want to ever have any negative feeling towards a boy if I was indeed having one. I did find out just after 30weeks and we were able to name him.
    Nearly two years ago I got my little guy, and never did I think a child so loving could come into the world. He is so totally different to his sister and yet totally the same. He does like boy stuff but he loves to play with Darcy and her girl stuff more...because he is playing with her.
    The penis thing at nappy time was different too lol.
