...the sex of our babies, that is:)
So, I'm wondering if the sex of your baby(ies) is a deciding factor in whether you decide to have more children in the future? I bring this up because now that we have two girls, people are constantly asking us (telling us actually), "Well, I guess now you have to have a third to try for a boy now!" Um, actually no, we don't and are not planning on it. I am completely content with my two little girls and so is my husband. There is such a weird societal perception that unless you have a child of each sex, your family must feel incomplete. It's not an issue for us, but I wonder how other people feel.
So, is the sex of your child/children a deciding factor for you?
Re: Let's talk about sex...
I thought I wanted one of each before children. Now that I have my daugher I really don't care about the sex. I just want them to be healthy.
Of course, that's just all the random planning that happens in my head. I'll be thrilled with whatever happens, weather it's just two boys or a house full of kids.
But if I had a boy I'd be just as happy and two is the absolute limit no matter what the baby's sex was.
I would like to have one of each sex but if I had another girl that wouldn't cause me to go for a 3rd. I want 2 or 3 (if I can afford a 3rd) but the sex wouldn't determine if I go for a 3rd.

This is me exactly. I'd really love a girl, but not sure if I'd be able to handle 3 kids if the next baby is also a boy.

Before you read my post... cross my heart and hope to cry this is light hearted to generate a smile and not to be taken seriously in the slightest! When people ask how many children we want (and they know my sense of humor) I usually respond with the following:
Person:How many children do you want to have?
Me: Two or three, but definitely not four.
Person: Why not four?
Me: Because they say one out of every four children born is Chinese.
