hoping for a certain gender?

[Willow]

I think it's very normal. I've had a preference each time but never to the point of 'gender disappointment' if it didn't work out that way.

lol, funny story with me and dp.

I have had this motherly instinct that its a boy, but i think thats only because most of the clothes and accessories i have bought are blue and green, nd seeing them in bubs room everyday makes me just assume itll be a boy.

My dp, really wants a girl and has a 100 buck bet going with me that its a girl.

I wouldnt be suprised if it comes out a girl, and ill be stuck with all this blue stuff, lol, but either way, im totally overjoyed, whether it boy or girl.

I think ill just stick with a boy but, in hope that i win this much earned 100 bucks :P

Leasha I've been going through a very similar thing to you: we haven't found out the sex of our baby but if I knew we have a boy I probably wouldn't be going through the process of exploring WHY I have such a problem with the mother-daughter relationship. I'm certain much of the emotional sh**** I've had to sort through really relates to parenting in general and not mothers & daughters so I'm glad we don't know.
I'm at the point now where I'd be quite happy with either sex - still a slight leaning towards a boy but I actually feel it IS a girl now - we tend to get given what we 'need' in life My DP has admitted he'd really love to have a daughter and I can so see him with one

Yep I think its perfectly normal. I hoped with our first for a boy and cried so hard when we founf out it was a girl. Of course when she was born I couldn't have wanted anything else.

This time I think either would be nice, I think its another girl which is perfectly fine but a boy would be great too.

Hey its very normal to want a particular sex
I have always wanted a little girl and so has DP. So when we found out we were to have a boy I did feel a fair bit of disappointment. The weirdest thing is, Ive felt it was a girl before I found out and even now I still have a strong girl feeling, so Im very confused!!
Im just going to have to wait for little one to be born to know for certain, but now I will be happy with either

I think its normal to want a particular sex. With DS was hoping for a boy. If he had been a girl I would have had alot of disappointment. #2 I hoped for a girl and we found out at the 20 week scan its a girl I don't think I would have been disappointed if it had been a boy but I was hoping for a girl. If we go for #3 I know I want another boy and I think I would be disappointed if it wasn't a boy.
