I thought I was over it, but I'm not.

I can't stop thinking about having a daughter.  I ADORE my boys and wouldn't trade them for anything.  I don't wish either of them were girls -- in fact, they make me want a DD more because I know they'd be awesome big brothers to her (I always wanted older brothers).

I totally wish I could shake the feeling, but it's so nagging.  I love having sons and am really content right now with our life and family, but I still find myself holding out hope that someday, somehow I'll have a daughter.

Maybe have a 3rd kid?

I know how you feel, but in reverse.  But, I know I'm totally done.  I'd lose my effing mind with a 3rd.

We plan on a third, but I'm convinced it will be another boy.  I'm fine with that.  I just hope to have a daughter, too.  We're thinking about foster parenting/adopting.

I know exactly how you feel.  We are two and done so if this next one isn't a girl I will be so very sad.  Not because it's a boy.  I'll be excited to have two boys.  Just sad that I won't ever have a daughter.

I feel as you do. I would love to have a daugther, but am so happy and thankful to have the two beautiful, healthy boys I have.  Sometimes I even feel guilty about these feelings.   I have done a lot of research on the topic and am trying a few things this time around to maybe swing our luck towards a girl. If it doesn't work than I will be a mom of 3 boys and we will be done, I think I will always feel sad not to have a daughter, but like you, would still be thrilled with my son.

One of my good friends is pregnant with her third.  We're due just a couple days apart.  She has two boys, and she had herself convinced that it was another boy, and she was "okay with that."  Yeah, right!  She really wanted that girl.

Well, baby #3 is a GIRL!  So she's proof that it is possible, even when you are convinced otherwise.

Amy - what things are you going to do to try for a girl? 

Just curious.  I've been reading up on it and we're going to try a few things too.

I've posted lots of times on here how I'm dying to have a little boy. Something tells me I'm destined to have a little gaggle of girls, and since having DD, I know I'd love that too. But I will forever wish my pgs are boys! Just bein' honest.

I felt that way at times after having my second boy and throughout my third pregnancy. ?Since my third boy was born, I haven't really felt that at all. ?Maybe it's just because he's so new and I'm just so thrilled to have another baby, but I'm hoping that longing for a daughter is gone. ?I really think this is it for us, and even if we had a fourth, it would have to be because we wanted another child, not just a girl.

I feel the same way and sometimes feel guilty about even having those feelings.  DH says we aren't having anymore, but I know deep down he wants a little girl to, plus he said he was getting "snipped" right after DS was born and well he has yet to even look into that.  We both have always wanted more then 2, but financially don't know about being able to afford more then 2 and be able to give them "everything"  that we want to, but we will see, so far DH hasn't totally veto'd a 3rd since DS#2 was born, so maybe we'll give it a little bit and see where our lives are and then go from there...

I'm PG with #3 right now and I have 2 boys.  I can't even tell you how I feel most of the time.  I still have another month until the big u/s and part of me just doesn't want to know!!!!  I'm convinced that it's another boy though.  But I desperately want a girl!  I know that I'd be happy with another boy - but would be sad that I'd never have a daughter (we are definitely done after this one).

This wait has definitely been the worst!!!!!

I know if I had 2 boys I would be DYING for a girl.  That being said I still want a boy...if this one is not a boy then when we adopt (which we do plan on doing anyway) I will request a boy...not so much for me, but for DH.

I feel the same way.  I love that my boys are developing a close relationship and I am so happy #2 was a boy for that reason, BUT, I want a girl more than ever now.  I think we are going to have a third one day, but like you, I think we are almost certain to have another boy.  Boys are so prevalent in my H's family.  My BIL had two boys and then the third was girl.  What is the liklihood of that happening twice in the same family?  Pretty slim, I think. 

Anyway, being a mom to boys is wonderful and better than I ever thought it would be, but I would like to be the mom of a girl one day and experience that.  We shall see...
