I come from such a male dominated family that before I got pg I always thought it'd be a boy. When I found out I was pg I was so convinced it was a girl that I was trying to convince myself it was a boy so if it was I wouldn't be so shocked. My OH was totally convinced from the start it was a girl and he admitted after we found out that although he would have still been pleased with a boy he always wanted a girl, so he was over the moon! The only person who thought it was a boy was my MIL and when we told her it was a girl her response was "oh, well that's a shame!" I don't think I really had a preference but I am glad it's a girl, and the clothes for girls are so much prettier!lol
