Baby Harry’s nursery had been painted blue, his father had bought a rugby team baby-grow and was already imagining his son running out for his local club in south west London.
It wasn’t until a whole half an hour after the chaotic homebirth of his first-born that Steve Forde realised that baby Harry was in fact – a girl.
The young couple, from Esher, spent hundreds of pounds decorating the nursery, buying a wardrobe of boys’ clothes including a Harlequins rugby club baby-grow, and argued for three months over his name – eventually settling on Harry.
"I was calling the baby Harry and I had half an hour having that Simba moment from the Lion King, the Circle of Life playing in my mind and couldn't believe my luck.
“It was only when the midwives arrived and started taking charge of things that I realised my mistake. One of them put Harry on the scales and just said, ‘This is a girl’. I was on the other side of the room and just remember this strong adamant feeling of, ‘No this is a boy. Who are these people, calling him a girl?!
“When I eventually took a look I was just in shock and Shelley and I just stared at each other for a good 60 seconds.
“It did feel like Harry existed, albeit briefly. I was looking forward to my son getting into rugby, so it was quite strange when suddenly he didn’t exist anymore.
“But I am 110 per cent grateful for our baby girl [yeah right] and happy with the way things panned out in the end. I guess we’re just that one per cent where they get the gender scan wrong.â€

I feel sorry for poor Lola, the baby who was a disappointment before she could even utter her first word. so do I for the same reason, in her parents eyes, she is and always will be a disappointment, even if she's an honer student who go's onto have a great career, it'll always be a form of compensating to please, rather than a true achievement
I think Duh is projecting here. It's bad enough when parents start planning their children's weddings from day one, parents seem to be treating their children even more like little toy robots they can programme to satisfy their every whim and to fulfil all of the ambitions they failed to achieve for themselves. see this is why I don't understand why more people don't play SIMS, even in the game, if you want to dream of a future where you, your partner and kids, grow up to achieve the exact outcome you planned for them, play sims, instead of making babys and forcing them to lead lives they don't want

What a bunch of shit. They spend the whole article talking about how they can't believe their goldenpenis had a vagina and how they were fantasizing about raising a widdle boyeee, but then they cap it off with, "Oh, but we're happy with what we got." Bullshit, they just said that so they didn't look like assholes to readers. It's painfully obvious they aren't glad with it and I guarantee the Moo is knocked up again before the daughter is two years old in an attempt to get a male replacement.

As a kid I was a tard, but when Mom dressed me, she dressed me in practical clothes. The only difference/restriction was between school and play clothes. Toys were whatever I liked, as they got me a big wheel, and a Light Bright among others.
The ones that really got use were roller skates and bicycles. Neither were gender oriented, although I liked girl's bikes because I could ride in a skirt/dress.
I love baby pink AND baby blue.
