it does help to hear from others who have experienced similar feelings. I worry that these feelings will never go away and I hate feeling like this. I think the fact that my husband and I have always said we were only going to have two children has made it harder to deal with this issue. I guess when we made that decision I always thought that one of our two children would be a girl. I think I silly things like I wont be able to give my engagement ring and jewellery to a daughter, my husband tells me I will probably have two daughter in laws and although he is right, it wont be the same, and the wedding day thing gets to me as does not having a daughter to experience her pregnancy and childbirth with. How crazy!! But I do want to make it really really clear that I would never ever change my two boys and would do absolutely anything for them and I love them dearly. Well done Trish it makes me really happy that you have your little girl.
