[Gayle]

We hadn't really bought anything in advance so no problems. It wasn't a shock, just a surprise and adapted within minutes.

We'd made a decision not to ask them at the scan what it was going to be so we didn't know, all we were basing it on was old wives tales (i.e. the way I was carrying it) and a midwife who'd jokingly said it must be a boy because of all the trouble it was giving me. So although we thought that we were probably having a boy we didn't know that for sure and hadn't been told that so it wasn't a big deal.
