I have two boys and a girl - the girl came last and I wasn't trying for a girl, I just wanted three kids! <br />When my younger son was born, my mother-in-law, his own grandmother, initially didn't buy him any presents! Her exact words were 'If it'd been a girl, we'd have really gone to town'. That's the one and only time I've ever stood up to her - I told her he needed a coat (as he was born in a different season to his brother) and she realised her mistake and bought him a coat!SarahMummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04103870858666628645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743775917250773115.post-50585355700101528022016-10-17T11:19:22.296+01:002016-10-17T11:19:22.296+01:00"you'll be old and lonely..."

I am sick of hearing 'I wish you had a girl, they're easier to buy for' 'Whens baby number 3' 'Do you think you're just destined for boys then?' It's horrendous and unfair to push their upset on to me.

After having all the miscarriages just having a healthy pregnancy was a dream. And I'd convinced myself that we were having another little girl. That I couldn't carry boys. I was thrilled at the idea of having two little girls. Then at the 20 week scan our baby had boy parts. We were shocked but delighted. Now I can't imagine life any other way. Thanks so much for hosting #SundayBest. Sorry it has taken me so long to comment. It has been a manic week.
