Not that I choose gender but I, too, was curious when I was pregnant with our 2nd baby. This made me compare my experiences in both pregnancies.

Being raised in the rural areas in the Philippines, we'd love our kids to experience playing under the green trees and on the green grass, smell the fresh air, be touched by the winds and see some colorful flowers.
