MHB so sorry to hear your birth experience didn't go to plan for you but in the end you have your beautiful boy to help ease the dissappointment.

BDT: Well I for 1 am so happy that you are joining the PINK brigade. I think all DH's want boys (something about proving themselves I think) but really girls always turn out to be daddy's girls anyway. I think my DH wanted a boy but now he is having a little princess I don't think he is really dissappointed after all the pain, suffering and turmoil we all go through to get our precious bundles. As for people and "Karma" not all boys grow up to be angels as well, it is all about how we bring up our children to be kind and considerate people and just wait until you feel 100% confident to start buying all the pretty pink things around. I made special efforts to find clothes that had slogans like "I'm a daddy's girl" just to make it more real for DH. Give it time and I'm sure you will find that he will warm to the idea knowing that he helped to create those precious babies no matter what they are.
