I found out at my scan today that I am having a boy.
I already have the loveliest DS in the world and normally feel uber-sneery about the threads where MNers express a preference for girls. I know that I am lucky to fall pregnant and have healthy children, and my DS is fab so why would I be anything other than delighted?
Except, when I heard today, I felt a twinge of disappointment. I hate myself for it. But my mind seems to be spinning the news so as to focus on the things I will miss out on (I'm 99% sure that this is my last DC). Like not having a daughter's wedding to plan, DH not giving her away, not being a maternal grandmother and most superficially, not being able to shop for all the gorgeous girls things.
This is so stupid. And vapid. And disloyal to my gorgeous son. I want to start feeling genuinely happy about having another little boy. So please can you tell me good things about having two sons?
