Quesiton for moms with 1 or same sex dc's...

Jen2124

Do you want the "other" sex? If so, how badly?

I used to really want a girl too, but I am finding I don't care anymore. I love having boys. 

The one thing that I think I will miss is having a daughter when they are adults.....but maybe not. I am soo close with my mom though.

I love my boys more than life itself and VERY much want a DD next time.

We plan to have one more child. My DH really wants a boy, so I want a boy for him. But I would be secretly thrilled with 3 girls

I wanted a boy and we had one - I was thrilled. We aren't having another dc. I told my mom this weekend that I was really going to miss not having a girl when ds gets older because I'd always be "the MIL" to the woman in his life. I hope she isn't as critical of me as a MIL as some nesties are of theirs (not the really batshit crazy ones, just the avg MIL's with over-sensitive DILs).

Honestly, no, but I have two girls.  I am terrified of boys.  I have two brothers, who I love very much but they still cause my parents more heartache than they know what to do with.  If we had a boy again, that'd be fine.  If we had another girl, we'd be fine with it too.  I used to think DH wanted a boy, but I really think he's good either way.  We both think that our next (and last) DC will be another girl.  No idea why.  Maybe we're just used to having girls.  Who knows?

I never thought I could "connect" with a boy, but Preston is my LIFE. I could never imagine my life without him.

If we have a girl next, then great, but I really don't care.

Initially, I really wanted baby #2 to be a girl - just so we had one of each, knowing we wanted a 3rd, but there would be no "pressure" to get the girl.

Then, after having the 2 boys and seeing how great they were together and how they were thick as thieves, I was fine if we had another boy this time around. There was loads of outside pressure, everyone would say "we hope you get your girl this time" which drove me crazy!

Now that we know this is a girl, I am thrilled. She will have 2 big brothers to protect her. DH gets to have that daddy-daughter bond and I feel reassured that we will not be left alone in our old age. Honestly that was my biggest fear with all boys, when they married, they would head to their wives homes for holidays etc, and we would be left eating a turkey all alone. Silly, I know.

But then again, I did have a panick attack the other night when I was thinking about how we had to set up another college saving account, which was fine, and then it hit me, we now have to save for a wedding too! AH!

Of course we would have loved a boy after DD#1 was born, but we got another beautiful girl and can't imagine life without her.  My DH said this past fall that he had gone past a kids football practice & for the first time in a long time he had a thought that he'd never have a boy to go watch play football.  I thought it was interesting how that struck him.  But he wouldn't exchange our girls for anything and I wouldn't either.  I LOVE having two of the same gender!  Bottom line is...you love what you get, no matter what.

We have one boy and another boy on the way.  We had agreed that if this one was also a boy we'd try for one more.  I love my DS more than life itself, but yes, I would love to have a girl as well. 

 That said, if the last one is a boy, we're done.  I figure if we have 3 boys, I just wasn't meant to have a girl!

I have 1 of each but will answer anyway.  I wanted 1 of each but when I got PG with DD I thought I was PG with another boy and got used to the idea of DS having a brother.  I love DD with all my heart and would not change it for anything but part of me was disappointed DS would not have that brother I thought we were going to give him (I found out around 20 weeks) and I know he loves DD and hope they are very close but a brother would have been great for him too.

I used to really, really want one of each and was a bit disappointed when the second turned out to be the same sex as the first. But now, I can't imagine having a boy and if we ever have a third, I really, really hope it's another girl!

I've always secretly wanted two girls. We have one now. I'd of course be fine with either sex, but for some reason I'm a little afraid of having a boy! I'm not sure how I'd feel if I had a boy first.

I have one of each but I really wanted three girls (or so I thought). ?I never had sisters and loved the idea of them. ?I *knew* right away that Nathan was a boy. ?Just had a feeling and I was correct. ?He is everything that I didn't think I wanted. DH really wanted a boy in fact he would like another boy. ?We will have a third and it doesn't matter what it is, although I do lean slightly more to another girl. ? ??

We thought we wanted two girls. But we got two boys, and now I can't even imagine it any other way. They make me laugh every day! So many people have asked if we're going to "try for a girl" - but nope. We're thrilled with our two boys, and don't plan on having any more children.

I absolutely love my sons.  More than anything.  I still desperately long for a daughter some day, though.  I have a fabulous relationship with my mom and can't imagine not having that myself.  We plan on having at least one more, but I just know it will be a boy and I'm okay with that -- we aren't "trying" for a girl, but will be thrilled if we end up with one.

I have two boys but when we were pregnant the second time we hoped for a girl.

Now looking back on it I am thankful that we had another boy. Sure I sometimes think of how my husband won't walk his daughter down the isle and how I'll be another woman's MIL. eek!

I never wanted a boy.  I really wanted a girl and I got TWO!  ;-)
