It's a boy :), it's a girl :(

Hi mabey1.. I'm a husband.. when my wife was pregnant, it did not a matter to me whether the baby would be a boy or a girl, so did my wife. I just pray that the mother and the baby is born with a safe and healthy. Now I'm a father with 2 children, the first is a boy, and the second is a girl, I'm very grateful that I have both a boy and a girl. I love my kids, both my boy and daughter.

Some times we have to be careful what we wish for, as in the baby case we get the opposite. I am with you on the fact as long as the baby is healthy that is all that matters. I guess on the bright side there is always yet another chance to try for yet another gender.

I didn't mind the gender of my first baby. My ex-husband was hoping for a girl and he had the name lined up. However I had a baby boy and then we argued about names. When I was pregnant for the second time I hoped for girl but a gender scan showed I was having a boy. It took me two days to get used to that idea. I felt desperately sad because I wondered if I would ever get a daughter. Then at 36 weeks pregnancy I found out I was expecting a disabled baby. I was told he had got spina bifida and hydrocephalus. I was offered an abortion and I said no way. My second son was born and adored him. In my third pregnancy I didn't dare hope that I was having a girl. I went for scans at the fetal medicine unit and they let me know I was having a baby girl. Wow! They were right and she completes my family perfectly. If I had been pregnant with a third boy then due to my second son's inability to walk I wouldn't have been able to try again for fourth time. I am pleased that that I had girl as my third baby. My sons are 15 and 3 and my daughter is 1.
