When I was pregnant with baby #1, I instinctively knew it was a boy.  For some reason, I didn't even think it could be a girl.  It turned out to be a boy.  With baby #2, I remember feeling the same way you do.  I enjoy(ed) my son so much that I wanted another boy for that reason and all the practical ones you mentioned. But, again, I instinctively knew it was a girl. And she was! I was just as happy. And the manicures?  It's much more fun to have one done with your little girl.  Make up too! Either way - hope you have a wonderful pregnancy!
