are you disappointed with the sex of your baby?

some women really hope for one sex over the other (i.e., "I REALLY want a girl!" etc.) ... and when they find out it is the opposite, they are upset.
Most women get over it by the time they meet and get to know their LO.
How about you? Are you still disappointed? Were you ever?
And for those who are too chicken to admit it out loud:

Re: are you disappointed with the sex of your baby?
I wanted a boy with #2 so I could experience a Son but the second Julia was born I was in love.
#1 I def wanted a girl.
I really had wanted two girls so I was bummed to find out that Dash was another boy. But a few weeks later, I got into the idea and by the time he was born, I couldn't imagine it any other way.
Now I feel really LUCKY to have two boys ... they rock!
I did initially want a boy first, because I've always loved the idea of big brothers. But, I got over it during the pregnancy and couldn't be happier now. DD is super sweet!
Still peeves me off though because my family values boys more due to culture (Chinese). My grandma, who repeats herself a lot and probably has early Alzheimer's, kept saying "Oh, a girl? Well, it's good to have a girl first because she can help with the boys." I love grams, but WTF right? Also, my grandpa said he'll give $30k to the first grandchild to give him a great grandson. Double-WTF right?
This. We didn't find out beforehand, so when she popped out a girl, I was ecstatic!
I was disapponted at first to find out that my second was going to be another boy. We plan on only having two children and were both hoping for a girl.
I got used to the idea fairly quickly although I did have a bit of a breakdown about it the night before we were induced. However I fell instantly in love with DS #2 the second he was born and now I can't imagine it any other way!
Dh and I both really wanted a boy, then we were told girl and were both a little dissappointed. Dh was freaked out. lol
Over the next 5 months we really bonded with the idea of a girl, Dh got less freaked by the daughter concept. We were so excited for her to arrive!
THEN two days before going into labor we had a u/s and found out it was a boy! I've never laughed and cried simultaneously before. heh heh. We love our boy and I'm so glad I have my boy "out of the way". I've always wanted to have a son.
