Your dream VS reality **********GD WARNING**********

Before having kids.. I ALWAYS WANT TO HAVE TWINS GIRLS!! ... but things have change a lot when I got married..I really want and ..This is my dream family!

I always, always from my first ever memory of thinking about being a mummy (so about 5 or 6 i think). Wanted either 3 girls or 1 boy then two girls. So when i was told DS1 was a boy at the 20 week scan , i cried right there and then, she had told me just before that there was something slightly wrong with one of the kidneys but that it would be fine by the time he was born so she thought i was crying about that not that he was a he! When i fell pregnant with my second I just KNEW it was going to be a girl, had NO doubt, my pregnancy was the total opposite of my last so how could it not be? We asked the sonographer to write the sex down on a bit of paper so we could look once we had left the room. But i saw his bits for myself the first moment she started the scan. I said to my DH, oh , did you see that? he said , just wait and see, so i thought- maybe it was the cord? At the end i said , oh don't forget to write the sex down for us, and she and the assistant said at the same time, oh i don't think we need to do that - you saw for yourself didn't you? he was not being shy was he? I've never cried so much in my life! I had really bad post natal deppression with my first and really thought i would sure have it for again now it was another boy, but i forgot that he would be a different baby- i know that sounds silly but kind of thought i was just getting another of what i already had. I loved him as soon as i saw him but still felt such envy towards ladies with girls, still do. I'm praying and swaying so hard for our girl for our last addition to our family but know i will still love another boy, but gosh - i've never wanting something so bad in my life!!!!

I always just wanted 1 daughter, no boy's )-:

I always wanted 2 girls.  Then, we had our son, and he is wonderful.  Now, I would be happy (truly happy) with giving him just 1 sister...

Before I had kids I always wanted and no 's but I got and now a on the way, I am happy with what god gave me and the order he decided to send them in I feel half complete as I would maye like another dd but this will be my last as I am going to possibly get my tubes tied after this.....and deep down I really think I am done and am cool with just 3 DC...

 My dream family growing up (my whole childhood and even now) was 

I got my girl first though, and lost my boy second, now I don't know what I'm having..hoping for a boy, as I lost mine my desire for a boy feels ten fold- but I think I could be happy with a girl too..

My dream family was boy, boy, girl, girl growing up.  Realizing I'd probably only have time for three, I revised that to boy, girl, girl.  Then revising it again (as it took so long to conceive the 2nd), and having had a daughter already, I wanted girl, girl.  But alas, I will be having girl, boy (knock on wood, I am 21 weeks right now).  Every step of the way, if I look back now, I got what I wasn't asking for.  The wrong number, the wrong order, and no sister-sister pair.  Still I'm a very lucky person -- healthy kids are everything, and being able to have any is a blessing too (I know lots of people who killed themselves to have one).

 My dream family was eitheror . However, as my luck goes, I ended up with

I never really had a "dream family" before I started having kids - I just always assumed I'd have both genders??  So really would be lovely & my dream family now :)  But having might be what we end up with and that would be ok too!

Mine was , but for sure more boys! 

I ended up with: angel

I'm happy to have my one living ds, though I had hoped for a close brother for him.  I never saw myself with more than one girl.  I never had a sister, and my mom  never had a sister, so I wasn't prepared for that.

Still hoping for one more

I really wanted a girl first, i didnt care what i had after that because i would have my girl so it wouldnt matter any more. of course i would love to fill up a house with girls but i would have been able to handle a boy seccond. i had a boy first and am now pregnant and dont know what it is but im guessing boy because i just dont seem to be all that lucky! all i ever wanted was a dd but i have a ds instead. it took me a very long time to come to terms with having a ds and i was very sick with ppd although i thik it was all caused by gd, to the point where there was talk of having him taken away for a while. that snaped me back into reality and i learnt to cope and in time learnt to love him. but man i am so frightened to be facing all of this square in the face again. two kids is our limit, we have just bought a 3 bedroom house so that limit is set i just dont know how i will cope once i know that this new baby is a boy. thank goodness i have you guys to cry alongside

My ideal family would have been (in any order - just thought it would be nice to have 2 of each). 

Now my ideal family is although if #4 is another it will be very hard for me to try for #5 someday knowing we could have 5 boys.  As it is now 4 is our limit but we're not doing anything permanent for several years.  I just turned 30 this year so we have some time to think about it.

I wanted boy then a girl. I have two boys . I still yearn for a girl and my youngest is 4 1/2. I am done though. I am just so tired.

If I had to choose two of the same I would have picked boys so I guess I shouldn't complain , yet I do all the time.

I fear I am going to be one of those nuts that get the reborn baby dolls when I am a little old lady. Seriously . Have you seen those women on TV? Uggghh I am so afraid that will be me!

I never cared much about the order, but just *knew* I would have .  Wrong!  I have instead, and now hoping to go high tech for my .
