"What do you have at home?" That's the how the ultrasound tech started the conversation when we went to a 20 week ultrasound with our second baby. "A girl, " my husband responded. She scanned quickly and announce, "Well, this is a boy! You've now got the perfect family!" That comment always struck me as an odd one.
Certainly many people would love to have "one of each," but I also know many families who are happy with all boys or all girls, or a mixture of each. (The large family version of the "perfect family" is supposed to be an equal number of girls and boys.) I just think it's different for every family and that there isn't one perfect.
What's your "perfect" family?
