Before I became pregnant the first time I had always pictured myself with boys. As soon as I got a positive pregnancy test though I KNEW I was having a girl. It was the strangest thing, I just knew. I was fine with it though - after a previous miscarriage our overriding concern was just getting a healthy baby. We could only ever agree on girls names - we had a whole list - but no boys names. When it was confirmed at 19 wks that she was a girl I felt quite self-satisifed actually that I already knew
I am pregnant again and this time I don't have the same "knowing" - either way - that I had with Emily. I have no gut feeling as to what this baby is and still have a few more weeks before we find out.
A boy would be nice - and I guess I could say we would like a boy if I had the choice. But after having our daughter, I certainly couldn't say that another girl would be a "disappointment" either.
This will most likely be our last, whether boy or girl.
