I was kind of in denial about have a "preference" and felt guilty about it, until you posted that you were having another boy. And then those feelings of wanting two boys came flooding in. I will be over the moon happy with a little girl, but I am kind of dreaming of having two little boys :)Stephanie Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15424533411749873398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1027726949652927928.post-51417167832446929492012-04-12T08:38:03.535-07:002012-04-12T08:38:03.535-07:00Ok you expressed the exact feelings that I am feel...Ok you expressed the exact feelings that I am feeling right now @ 10 weeks. Totally having this overwhelming feeling that I am having another boy and am starting to bond with the baby as a boy even. I would be happy with either but the thought of Zane having a little brother to wrestle & play with. You took the words right out of my mouth. :) Knowing I won't find out for another 10 weeks is torture to me... and I am thinking I have to give myself that little pep talk on the way to find out too!Libby's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06719231757409470154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1027726949652927928.post-79853601944684484222012-04-12T02:13:27.096-07:002012-04-12T02:13:27.096-07:00I LOVE that picture of him with the trains!
