With my first, my son, I was deffo swaying boy. It was obvious in the items I was buying and decor I set up, simply pacifying myself that it was all still be "ok" for a girl, and a few pink accessories here and there would balance it...but it was massively boyish deep down. I did desperately want a boy though...despite not saying aloud. So was it instinct or just a want?
This time I am much more clueless. I'd love another boy and am a bit nervous of a girl result, for reasons I can't even pinpoint myself. I think a lot of me is conscious of being fortunate/lucky? last time, in that I got my dreams...a boy, who arrived on his due date and all seemed perfect in my world. and that this time, perhaps consider and try and prepare for a different/unexpected result more than I did last time? Totally throwing me off following any instinct now
