Does anyone else just love having two boys?

I had DS2 four weeks ago. I didn't find out whether I was having a boy or girl but was pretty sure I was having another boy. I'm just so happy to have them both and DS1 (2.7) has been such a star with his little brother.
I know I'll probably get the 'are you going to try again for a little girl?' comments but I really don't think we will go for a third. I feel very blessed and don't have that yearning for a girl that lots of women have. Let's say I feel 'complete'.
I'm not taking away from anyone who has girls but I'm just so happy with my two little fellas. They're just so damn cute and I can't wait for a future filled with mess, madness and fun!!
Anyone else feel the same? Just thought I'd share my happiness!!

I have two boys & love it. They are best of friends (some of the time!) and have totally different personalities!
I felt very much done after DS2 - I wasn't going to have anymore children, but am now in a new relationship with a lovely man, who has no children of his own, so my outlook has changed.
I was pregnant with his child, but found out at my 12 week scan that baby had stopped growing at 7 weeks.
Was ready for the "do you hope for a girl?" comments. I would have loved nothing more than to still be pregnant with that baby, boy or girl.

Oh dear, I completely killed the thread there, sorry, not having a good day today!
love having 2 boys & would have been very happy to have 3.

Sorry Pinkchampagne. It must be hard... So many people have asked us to go for a third so we can get a girl. They don't realise how lucky I feel to have two healthy children.

I have one of each but can I just say I absolutely LOVE little boys. I am a bit of a tom boy and was desperate for a little boy. My ds is the light of my life and all the things a little boy should be. There are lots of ladies at school with 2 boys and they look so cute together. So often I feel boys are seen as a bit of a consolation prize. When my friend just had her second son she had comments like, 'what a shame'!!!!! So insensitive.

I have one of each I am a tomboy and secretly wanted a little boy which ds was when I pg I was convinced she was a ds and when told I was having a dd, I remember being numb with shock and I said to dp' What the hell am I gonna do with a little girl I don't know how to play with little girls'

But once the shock wore off I was over the moon and I honestly am very happy. I hated the how how lucky you are to have a little girl, One woman said it in front of ds who had heard it a lot ds burst into tears asking whats wrong with a little boy. I gave the lady a dirty look and said to ds nothing wrong with a little girl some people are just ungrateful .

slushy06 · 29/05/2010 08:43

sorry little boy

Pinkchampagne · 29/05/2010 09:13

Ah, your poor DS. How thoughtless of that woman.

slushy06 · 29/05/2010 11:51

It took weeks after that of re-assuring him . Actually felt guilty for dd because after that the only thing I could think to say to protect him was 'no I wanted two boys' it stopped them in their tracks about exclaiming how great one of each is though.

Pinkchampagne · 29/05/2010 11:55

That is awful. People really don't think sometimes, do they?

ChickenInABasket · 01/06/2010 00:48

This is such a lovely thread. Just what I needed after a vile dinner with 2 of DP's mates and their smug wives (who have a new-born baby girl each) telling me "you really should try for a girl, they're so lovely blah blah". I really don't understand all this need for a girl, I love DS and would be very happy with another DS.. or any other type of healthy baby!

Can I second/third/fourth! what a lovely thread this is. I have three gorgeous boys who I would not swap for the world, but have to put my hand up to admitting I would have loved a girl. A good friend was convinced she was about to have her third boy but had a gorgeous girl at the weekend. I am delighted for her, but brought back the old wistful feelings for me.....

This thread was just the kick up the bum I needed. Don't get me wrong, I would not swap my boys for the world, but have gone a bit misty eyed reading this and just want to go and give them all a big squeeze now!

Only sad thing for me reading these posts is that my eldest two fight and argue more than they are friends, would love them to be 'best mates' like a lot of the posters, maybe when they're older!

I agree with the 'you get what children you should have' bit, I have always loved little boys but my friend that has just had the girl is so girlie herself, and will so suit having a girl, if that makes sense.

GirlWithTheMouseyHair · 03/06/2010 10:57

I only have one dc who is a gorgeous little boy, I've always wanted 2 children, at least one of them a boy, and am so glad I have my little boy! Have to admit if he'd been a girl I'd be desperate for a boy 2nd time round but now I have him, I'd be more than happy with either.

DH desperately wanted daughters, now wants only sons
