You think you might be. I bet you wouldn't be. Really. Not once it's here.

you only think this. You wont really be disappointed - if your handed a perfectly healthy little baby boy thats all yours - I bet you wont be.

You have an idea about your baby, and what you want. Once the real thing is here and in your arms...

And of course, it might be a boy...

I always wanted an older brother too - I did'nt have any siblings.

But my forst DC was a DD. But now I have a DS as well she is the perfect big sister.
I would;nt have it any other way - TBH no mother would, no matter what cobination of children she has. Your baby will be your world, you'll fall in love with him or her the minute they are placed in your arms.

Perhaps to help get your head round the possibility of a girl you should start looking at all the adorable stuff that's out there for girls too.

I wanted a girl. I got DS.

It took a few months to get my head round the idea that my image of 2 girls was gone, but I would never have changed him for the world, and I still remember that amazing moment when I looked in at him and thought "I have a little boy " rather than with a or

I had to find out with my scans in case it was a girl.. and then I could get used to the fact before she was born as didn't want to be sad about it then. The scan showed a girl and I cried for 2 weeks...

Then one day I remember someone saying that they would swap babies with me as they wanted a girl and I put my arms around my bulging tummy and said no way I love this one!..

From then on I realised that I really didn't care it was a girl.

She is now 3.6 and all my worst fears have come true - she is a girlie girl who loves pink and ballet etc... But she also loves climbing and ball play..

The funny thing is that since I have had her I have even bought myself a pink shirt - something I would never had done before..

The bottom line is that I love her to bits and that includes the girlie thing that make her, her...

you will be fine... you will love her/him and you really won't care..
