Best one I've had thus far was a woman who we were talking to on holiday, we

had just Mari with us. She asked me if we knew what we were having and I

said " yes a girl " to which she replied " oh, there's a shame " !! it was so

blunt we just stood there in stunned silence

Someone mentioned about having preferences for the sex of our babies:

* when I was expecting I wanted a girl

* when I was expecting Mari I wanted a boy

* this time I wanted a boy

But each time I would not have changed the child that I had - goes without

saying I guess Also, for me, finding out the sex has given me time to

adjust and bond with my babies as little girls (didn't have scans with )

and this has been important for me With this baby part of the reason for

wanting a boy was because Gethyn's best mate died suddenly earlier this year

and we felt a pressure to have a boy because of this so it has been easier

to let 's family and Widow know at this stage that she's a 'girlie

curlie'.

I have heard it in peoples voices when they say " what did you

have " " another boy " " Oh "

That OH has so much downside to it. I am happy with 3 boys and no I

will not be " trying again " . I just don't think I " do " girls only

boys. I always felt that the miscarriages I had were probably girls.

Exactly what i think here - even DH suggested this might have

been the case. I think half the problem is that strangers don't

know that you've had 3 M/cs and therefore whatever you have is a

total blessing - boy or girl.

I've just bought 2 bin bags full of newborn-1year boys clothes

from ukparents buy and sell forum anyway!

(for those of you who haven't dicovered this wonderful resource

BTW do look at ukparents.co.uk (or is it .com?) there is a 'real

nappy' buy and sell too , as well as tons of discussion boards.)
