Mainly surprised, because I could have SWORN G was a boy. I called her a 'he' the first 16 weeks, haha. When they said girl, I almost fell over. And even though we'd confirmed at plenty of scans, I still had to ask the doctor to check when she was born.

I'm not sure what to feel about this one, as my priority is healthy baby - part of me is terrified for it to be a boy, because I've LOST a boy, and I just feel strange about it all. Ultimately, we'll just be overjoyed regardless, it's just strange not to know what to expect!

I was really surprised both times! First time, I thought girl and he was a boy...second time, I thought boy and she was a girl! My husband has a cousin that was told boy and it turned out to be a girl, so I wasn't totally sure/believed it either time until they were in my arms.

I really really wanted a boy for #1 and was ecstatic finding out at 17 weeks that's what we were having. For #2 I didn't really have a preference but was leaning towards boy, just because I thought it would make things easier and I LOVE having a boy, but when we found out at 19 weeks it was another boy I was surprisingly sad that it wasn't a girl! I blame hormones

Honestly, I was majorly disappointed when I found out with both my pregnancies. It wasn't gender disappointment but just that I had such high expectations for the moment and both times we found out when I was not expecting it at all, so there was no excitement leading up to it.

I will say that I had like a twinge of disappointment when I found out my second was also a boy but now I can't even imagine it any other way. I love both my boys to pieces and their relationship with each other is so amazing to watch. I'm sure that as soon as your baby boy is in your arms you won't have another thought about it!

With my first we were team green and I dreamt we were having a boy. When the midwife held my son up for me to see all I could say was "it's a baby. It's my baby" and I didn't really realize we had a boy for a few more minutes.

With this baby we found out at the anatomy scan. I'd dreamt a few nights before that we'd have a girl, and that's what the scan says too!

I am excited to have a daughter, but part of me was daydreaming about how fun two little boys could be. We're open to the idea of more than two kids though, so it's not impossible. I think my husband would like two of each, but physically I'm not sure about going through pregnancy again.

I never know how to respond to people who say "oh perfect, one of each!" I'm sure it's just one of those inane things people say just to say something but it really annoys me. Probably because they assume this is exactly what I want- which it is- but why would someone assume two boys would be less joy?

I had the slightest twinge of disappointment but I can't imagine feeling that way about my son. I don't care that he is a boy, I just love being his mama.

I was excited and shocked by our first boy. DH hoped and hoped for a girl partly based on the expectations of his family. The second time around, I thought for sure we were having a boy and we did. Having two boys is awesome. When I learned it was another boy, I was excited about not having to buy many clothes or anything like that. Their personalities are completely different. It's great. I would have loved to have a girl, but truly don't miss not having any one. I don't want a third.

I was at work (Harmony test results by phone) and I did a happy dance! I was hoping for a girl and that's what I got.

I work in an area that is monitored by video cameras, and there is always someone watching. After a few seconds of the happy dance, I remembered this fact and started laughing uncontrollably thinking about the person watching the video footage and seeing me!
