I can't promise that you will have a girl, or that you won't miscarry - so can't help you on that score. It would be very trite and partonising of me to say that you would love your baby whatever sex your baby is. The sex of the baby is very important to you, but perhaps you and your DH could try and explore why you really want a girl, and how you would feel if you had another boy, and perhaps this will help you reconcile these feelings. As a Mum of 2 boys, I do enjoy having the two boys and can't imagine it any other way. If the awful thing of a miscarriage does happen, then there is plenty of support out there to help you cope with your loss and look forward (this list included). With regards to your VBAC - as plenty on this list will tell you, it is possible. Try your local NCT group, for local help and support. I wish you all the best - having children is wonderful, but also very worrying and difficult at times. I am sure there are plenty on this list who will be able to offer you words of advice, but your local NCT should also be able to help you, and a local antenatal teacher may be able to provide some support over some of the issues that you are confronting.
