I think it is fairly natural to have a bit of a preference. I was hoping DD would be a girl but of course, I would have been just as happy if she had been a little boy. At my 20 weeks scan, we were told she was female but I didn't let myself believe it until she was actually born and kept telling everyone I thought it was a boy to protect my own heart a little. I hope that doesn't sound bad... it is hard to explain!
