  • i know what you mean (0 / 0)

    about being unsure.  DH had two sons when we married and so i had some familiarity with boys; plus i had two older brothers growing up...our first was a boy (i guess that means i'm one of the ugly ones :>))...and our second a girl.  DH was quite worried about having a girl. so much so he admitted he didn't want one because he would felt inept.  it took about 5 seconds (probably less) the day she was born for him to get right over that feeling....pure bliss each time, no matter what.

    • My husband (0 / 0)

      grew up with brothers and he was dumbfounded when he found out we were having a girl.  But like yours, he feel in love immediately and has been a great dad ever since.  

      I used to think I wanted both, but ever since I had a girl I have a ridiculous desire for all girls.  I think I have this idea that I will get to relive Simone's babyhood all over again if it's another girl, which obviously won't happen regardless.  But I know if we had a boy I would love him just as much and never wish for anything different.

      • And for practicality (0 / 0)

        I do want to have all girls (this is why I'm sure I'll end up with a boy next time!), and one reason is because Avery has so many clothes that were given to her that they were barely worn before she grew out of them. I'd just like them to see more use before they get donated!

        Honestly, though, I know I'd love having a son if I had one. Especially as he got older. It's the 0-5 years that worry me! Avery is active enough, I can't imagine a boy running around. Also, I do forget sometimes that I have my husband to help with the more personal aspects boys go through.
