text: I thought I was going to have a girl and I did! I didn't really care about the gender, but I know others who have dealt with gender disappointment. My one friend wanted a girl and had a boy. She was sad but now can't imagine life without him or with a girl (she is OAD). I now feel a little extra joy when women are pregnant with a boy because I never had a boy. I have a nephew that I am close with, but it's not the same. As time moves forward I find gender less and less of a thing. I love my child regardless that she is a girl. Congrats!!!
