After my last 10 days of pure hell, I wasn't too bothered whether we were having a boy or girl (I had a feeling it would be a boy - and that's what chinese gender chart said) as long as it was ok. But when I went for the amnio, they said the test would show the sex of the baby and did we want to know. To my surprise, when I got the all clear this morning on the downs test, the midwife said, "and it's a little girl" I am delighted, as is OH (think a girl was his secret preference!!). Went out at lunchtime and bought my first pink purchase - felt great!!
