PR: I think I want another little girl.

Fordlor

I always wanted "one of each".  When I had DD, I was so happy to have a daughter so that she could grow up and have a similar relationship with me as I have with my Mom (we are very close).  So I just figured that the second baby needs to be a boy.  That way DH can have a son to teach baseball to, collect baseball cards with, etc. 

But now I really want DD to have a sister.  I didn't have that growing up.  It was just me and my brother.  We were close up until he got into HS.  Since then, we haven't been close at all.  We talk maybe five times a year. 

I just looked at Punk's blog and her DD's are so cute and sweet together.  It would be so nice for DD to have that special bond with a younger sister. 

Of course, if we have another daughter we have no idea what we'll name her.

It's funny, I feel the same way...but about my ds having a brother!  I've always wanted one of each too, now I'm not so sure!

You know, I feel the same way. I have a sister and a brother and actually get along better with my brother, but I've always wanted that "sister" bond. I guess I'm projecting it onto DD, even though there's no guarantee they'll be besties. I just really think it would be fun to have 2 girls. However, I will not feel one ounce of disappointment if this LO is a boy!!

We wanted one of each and got two boys. When we found out we were having another boy I was down about it for about 5 minutes. But then excited of course.

Looking back I can't imagine having a girl. Growing up I had a brother and never had a sister either. Sometimes I think that it would have been good for the boys to have a sister but oh well. We are done having children so no chance in that happening.

When we have another, I'd love to have another girl.  People always assume that I want a boy next time and I always say I'll be happy either way but think it'd be fun to have another girl.  And I'm someone who always dreamed of a house full of little boys when I was thinking of having kids.

julia0402

I feel exactly the same way for when we have our next child.  I always wanted one of each, but now I think about how much I wanted a sister and I would love for Caro to have that.

thomas&lynn

I am completely stoked to be having a boy but there was a small part of me that thought the same things you are now. But since I only wanted 2 DCs I figured I'd rather have it this way so I get the experience of having a son, too

I loved having a sister!!! I'm sure a brother would have been fun too!! There's just something special between sisters.

I can totatlly relate to you, I am Thrilled that DD is going to have a sister, I always wanted one too! I have a little bro and I love him, but it's not the same "fun" that I see with my friends who have sisters.When the ultrasound tech told us this baby is a girl too, DH just had this huge grin on his face and he said Aw, she's going to have a sister, I am so happy for her! (He has 3 sisters and he said they had SO much fun together)

I always wanted a sister because my mom had 3 and they were super close.  I see now though that there isn't any guarantee to sisters being close.  MIL has a sister a year older and one two years younger and they aren't close.  They fight and aren't taking to one another half the time.  DH has two sisters and his younger one is much closer to him than the other sister.  They have the same personality where the older sister has just always been the odd man out among the three of them.

they love each other so much. 

every time someone asks if we're gonna "try for a boy" i think: how could he possibly fit into this family of girls LOL i mean, i know it would be fabulous, but the "sister thing" is so fun and amazing. aidan loves sawyer throughout her being.

I know!!  I think this all the time.  I love my sister, she and I are very close, and we're both close to my mom.  I would LOVE to have this when I'm older.  Granted, we're not guaranteed that will happen - some sisters hate each other - but it's a beautiful thought.

I initially thought I wanted one of each, but now I'd be 100% happy with two of the same.  I will go a step further and admit I may have a second or two seconds of sadness if #2 wasn't a girl, but I wouldn't be like those gender disappoinment psychos or anything like that. 

beachlovinbride

you should have 3 then ford!!  thats the crazy in me talking(hehehe)!

aforst

I feel the same way...well about boys.  I love having a little boy and really want DS to have a brother.  I will be thrilled w/ a little girl, but will not be disappointed if it's another boy.  If it makes you feel any better, my little brother and I are best friends!

dale05

I'm hoping for a girl this time too.  My sister and I are extremely close and I'd love to have daughter's that are best friends.  Not looking forward to the teen years when they're fighting over clothes (younger sisters are a pain at that time . 

But we want 3 or 4 children.  We have DD, it would be great if this one was a girl and then a boy or two. 

SBear12

I feel exactly the same way.

I always wanted at least one daughter... but also thought having one of each would be the best case scenario. But now when I think about having a second baby, I think how much fun it would be for Lyla to have a little sister to grow up with. I love my brothers, and we're really close, but there's still a different kind of bond with sisters... and I want my kids to have that.

I'd be very, very happy if we got to our 20 week ultrasound and heard, "it's a girl!" the next time around.

murphyec

I am torn.  I really want a girl, but would love for DS to have a brother.  So I guess I will be happy either way.

Rangergal9

I always wanted boys... then when I had DD I just fell in love with having a girl.  I also secretly would love the next one to be a girl so DD would have a sister.  My sister and I aren't very close and I hope DD would have a better relationship then I had with my sister.

luckymrs.

I also always thought I'd want at least one of each.  But DH is happy with having only 2 DCs and I'm currently tending to agree, although I originally wanted 3.  That said, I would LOVE for DD to have a sister.  I had/have brothers only, and always SO wanted a sister.  Plus, we'd get to use DD's pretty clothes again! 

IckyThump

I know how you feel. I always wanted one of each, but I'm really making no secret of the fact that I'd like a boy the next time I get pregnant. Of course I'll be happy if I have a girl, but I think it would be great for DS to have a "little buddy" to look up to him.

Snowy_Owl

I was beyond trilled to learn that DD was a girl and I really want another girl.

But I'd also be sad to miss out on what raising a boy would be like so I think I'd be happy either way really.

But I hear you - girls do rule :P

I felt the same way.  I was very sad when I found out I was having a boy.  I don't know why but I just couldn't get used to it.  Good news is I have almost talked DH into having a third baby in a few years. LOL!

PhilsWife07

I am hoping for another little boy for the same reason. With our kids being so close in age, I think it would be great for them to be the same gender. My DH and his brother have a great relationship and I would love for DS to have a similar bond with a brother of his own.
