    i think it is going to be a boy..... pretty sure DH would love a boy..... KNOW DH will love whichever it is....

    i would love a girl i think but in my family the stigma is you have to be "lucky" to get a girl..... my aunty has two boys and her and my nana always talk behind eachothers backs about how aunty wants a girl and how nana is jealous of other oldies that have lots of granddaughters.... it is so silly
    i think aunty is going to try for baby 3 - hopefully for baby 3 NOT for a girl

    when i really think about it though there are heaps of boys and heaps of girls in both families so it really could go either way.

    i may be a LITTLE disappointed if it is not a girl but i am not really giving myself the option of it even being a girl - that is how to avoid disappointment in my world! if it is a boy i am expecting it and that will be fab.... if it is a girl i will have to be told a dozen times and see for myself before i believe it.

    i see pros and cons for both boys and girls in my life and will be delighted with whateva i have - i cant wait for either my little Jemima or my little Hunter to hold DH's little finger with his/her little hand...
