THANK YOU MAMA
Wouldn't it be great if we could just order what sex we wanted? But I had my 2 children at a time when you did not have the luxury of knowing what your baby was before it arrived, and I actually think that if I had it all to do again, I would probably say I did not want to know before hand.

I just found this and it is a wonderful read truly wonderful
and can you believe that I too was meant to be a boy and was named Ian and because Mother was getting desperate for me to be named she named me by herself when I was six weeks old.
I am off to read again.
