Great thread..

When we found out we were expecting not 1 but 2 boys this time around I must admit it took me a while to get used to the idea. We were certain that we were having girls that to find out they were boys was dissappointing at the time. I really wanted DD to have a close sister to bond with as this is something I missed as my sister is 8 years older than me, but after looking at all the pro's & con's I must admit the idea of boys is growing on me.

I am now liking the fact that DD will always be our 1 special princess and she won't have to share that spotlight with anyone as the boys will always have there own bond together plus DD is such a daddy's girl that they will always have that special bond between them that the boys won't be able to break. I'm also looking forward to having 2 little mummy's boys to hug and snuggle, not the DD doesn't do that she does but it is on her terms only.

I also think because we live in the country our kids will be outdoors kids and DH can't wait until all 3 will be old enough to "help" in the garden and get messy, plus he will also be able to get out his trainsets and matchbox cars from when he was a kid (although DD would love that stuff as well).
