praying for a boy

I'm 37 I have 3 girls 14, 7, and 5. I'm 18 weeks pregnant and I really want a boy.  I find out next week the sex. I know I should be just happy to just have a healthy baby and I do want that but I feel so incomplete that I didn't have a son. Is it wrong to feel this way? If this is a girl I will still love her matter what I just always wanted a boy. But I'm down after this one I just feel so bad on how I feel about it. Am I the only one who feels this way?
