Ever since I was little I thought I'd have boys. I have a brother and was a bit of a tomboy. Never really did the whole girlie thing. All of our parents have brothers and DH has a brother. Saying that all the relationships with the brothers aren't great!!
Now I have 2 beautiful DDs and I don't think we'll have any more children so I guess I'll never have a son.
I'm not disappointed with what we've got but I guess I need to get my head around what we haven't got - if that makes any sense at all. DH is a bit sad at not ever having a boy despite being thrilled with our newest dd.
I can't help feeling that people with "one of each" feel luckier/smug about it.
I'm excited for our future and look forward to seeing how my little girls relationship develop with us and with each other - I guess it's just not what I'd ever imagined - and for a control freak planner like me - it feels quite tricky to adjust.
Not really sure why I'm posting - it's not gender disappointment as such so please don't flame e for that.
