Where it all began

My three boys are beautiful inside and out they are my world, my life I would die for them!

Looking back over my life I can begin to realise when my Desire for a daughter truly started. It wasn't after my first son was born nor was it after my third. My GD started when I was but nine years old.

My mum had me when she was 21, she went on to have my brother two years later, a perfect pigeon pair! she always wanted three children but my father had put his foot down. When I was nine years old they went away for the weekend and accidentally came home pregnant.

Back then she wasn't able to find out what she was having, so nine months were spent speculating and debating over the possible sex of her third and most definitely last child.

She made no secret of the fact she wanted a daughter. People assumed that she would be happy with whatever gender having already a child of both sex. It wasn't until a physic told her she was having a boy and she cried a lot that I realised.

When my brother was born she was very down and depressed she wanted that daughter so much and no one could understand why she was so upset. After all she had me!

I remember sitting in that hospital room with all this going on. That is when I started wanting a girl.

My first pregnancy was running smoothly without problems, my husband and mum Both accompanied me to my 20 week ultrasound scan. When the Sonographer announced he was a boy my mums face dropped she cried right there in the scan room. I was disappointed I truly wanted a girl. But mostly I was a let down for my mum. I have let her down ever since!
