I recently found out we're having a girl this time. We already have a little boy and I have to admit that I was stunned to hear the news.

I've only seen myself as a mother of a boy. Not to mention it would certainly be more "practical" to have another boy for all the reasons you mention and more.

Well, practical-smactical, I am so excited about having a daughter. MY DAUGHTER! It's like I get to have a whole new motherhood experience.

The one thing I could do without is all the comments like Neil's. I've also gotten "Girls are so much more WORK than boys", "I don't envy you on those teens years", and just plain ole "Oh poor you". Humph!

Oh and by the way, Congratulations! How very, very exciting!
