I do totally understand, I also really loved being a boy mom to my first two especially. It's a very very special relationship. You're just getting into the fun stuff now because they're getting out of the difficult phase.
I obviously can't tell you what to do but I will point out that a lot of the gals I got to know when I was suffering GD with my 3rd son, decided not to have more kids. They stuck with 2 or 3 boys and things got better. It wasn't as painful once they truly made up their minds to move on, like any dream it grows less "sharp" over time, and they look like they're having the time of their lives. their sons are getting older, they're out and about doing fun stuff and posting pictures of margaritas on cruises with their husbands, on Facebook, and I have no money and no time and I'd LOVE a vacation LOL. It's more than just the gender stuff, it's the life stuff that can be affected. They miss out on some daughter stuff, true, but at the same time, I have a daughter and I"m missing out on OTHER stuff. There's no right answer where we get to have everything that we want in this life anyway, and just know that even those of us who get what we want...it's not a magic panacea that fixes everything. :/ Wishing you the best of luck in this decision.
