great post Anna. I have two girls, and always wondered if i would like a boy. But whilst you will never get the fairy dress ups, I’ll never have to learn about football. It’s just the way it is and we’ll enjoy what we have, happy healthy children

Having the same gender is also a blessing! They play together nice! You wont need to worry the other one will be too girly or tom boy!

That is a lovely post! I wonder sometimes about people who say things like ‘didn’t you want a girl’ – it is very unusual for someone to say that to someone who has one child!
Every child is a blessing!

They look so happy. I had two girls and then a boy, and yes boys are messy, but so are girls!! But perhaps with less mud involved! All different, all loved.

Before I had my little girl I have to say I was really hoping for another boy – I loved the idea of Little Mr A having a brother and having two son’s who would look after their Mum! Now I have a girl too I wouldn’t change her for the world but I do think it is just human nature to ask. I think as long as they are happy and healthy who cares what gender they are, they are all fun and gorgeous!
