i just wanted her so bad.

I completely understand



It's not like I want to send one of my girls back or like I love them less for having a vagina I just wanted a son too.

to all the mamas who grieve their babies-who-might-have-been.

We have all girls, and I have never specifically wanted boys (not that we wouldn't be thrilled with whatever babies come into our lives, just that I've personally only hoped for girlbabies myself so far). I think it's completely okay to have a preference, either way.
