What do you WANT to have?

And the answer "I don't care as long as it is healthy" doesn't belong here.

GIRL.  I'd be okay with a boy, but then I'd live in fear that my second child would also be a boy.  I can only imagine having two children and I don't know what I would do with two boys!  I'm as girly as they come.  I'd put my boys in ballet and teach them to knit.  Not that I see anything wrong with that, but I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to relate to them if they turned macho.

We would love another boy. There aren't any brothers on either side of our families...so we would like to break the cycle of sisters and girls...plus help carry on the name. Although our daughter has really bonded with my husband the past few months...and he said he really wouldn't mind another girl.

GIRL

haleymay18

I want a girl too. Mostly so they can share a room and we can use hammidowns.

Girl. There's an added bonus of using all of DD stuff, too. I would have no clue what to do with a boy!

steff13914

Girl, but I'd be okay with a boy too because DH really wants a son.

michelle142

I want a baby.

MrsT2008

we want a boy

MsManners

It's really not a big deal either way but if I had to choose, I would say a girl just because all of the kids in our families are boys.

dbob

A boy. My husband wants a boy so badly that I do too just for him. Plus all of my close friends have girls so it would be nice to be different.

If we were given a choice at conception, we both would have hit the "girl" switch- but now both of us keep mindlessly referring to the baby as a boy. I don't know if its because 5 of our cousins have had or will have baby boys this year so we're just surrounded by "he"s or if it really is intuition.
I'm still kinda rooting for team pink, but team blue is growing on me.

I used to think that I wanted girls but now that I am pregnant, I think I want a boy. My DH doesn't have a preference but I think he would handle a girl better.

JNicMTek

I really don't know. I'd love to have a boy, so we have a boy and a girl, but I'd also love for DD to have a sister. At this point in our lives, a girl would be easier, since DD and baby will share a room for a bit, but it wouldn't break my heart at all if we needed to mix things up with boy stuff. Plus, a boy would be the first one to carry on our last name in the family, so that would be awesome. No preferance I guess, since either has their own pros and no cons.

Girl all the way! I love dressing up and playing dolls.

I just feel like girls do all the things boys do plus more fun stuff. Girls will play in the mud and play trains, etc. But you'd be hard pressed to find a boy wanting to play in a tutu and play dolls. I know I am generalizing here, and there are exceptions..but regardless, I want a girl.

ChristinaL27

Ideally I'd love one of each in the end. I know girls very well though, since I have 3 nieces! If I could pick it I'd have a boy first than a girl.

A boy, since I already have a girl.

I honestly don't know.  I mean, I want a boy because we have a name picked out, and DS really wants a baby brother (he prays for one every single night), but I also want a girl because I love all the headbands, frilly dresses, and cute little shoes (yes, I put shoes on my newborn!  My youngest wore red velvet shoes to church her first Christmas and she was a couple weeks old).  Girls are more fun to dress.  But a boy would even out our clan.  I honestly don't know because both are appealing...I just know I don't want two!  Four kids is enough for us!

mrskimm09

Girl. DH wants a boy. So cliche.

Interestingly enough, my son is the one who refuses to play in the mud.  He hates to be dirty! 

whirlygirl00

We'd rather a boy, we have lots of little nieces and only one lonely nephew, he needs a friend! 

Also, I've got my boy name picked out, not sure we could ever decide on a girl name.  

starkbaby22

H WANTS a boy.  He KNOWS it's a boy. lol  I'd be okay with either one, but I kind of would like a boy..so we can say we're done. 2 kiddos is going to be plenty for me to keep up with!

Pony. Definitely hoping for a pony.

I think that you'd be mightely regretting that come L&D!

robynlynn83

I honestly don't know.  I LOVE our girl name and it would be so easy to have a 4th girl (so we wouldn't have to buy much).  Of course DH wouldn't mind a boy either

stmurphy88

Girl!! But I'm pretty convinced it's a boy.

LuvMyFurbaby

I would be OK with either, but I think I want a girl.

dottymobo

I lean toward girl, just to have the different experience.  Last time I leaned slightly boy and DH wanted a girl, and this time it's reversed! 

Rakiki3

I would really like to have a little girl this time around, since I already have a little boy. I would be fine with another boy, but really want a girl

willamina28

well.... I really wanted twins, one of each...but since that obviously isn't happening. I really honestly don't have strong opinion

ALL of my friends have baby boys. There are 4 now. So it would be awesome to be able to share that expereince.

But also, I have two nieces that are 3 so it would be cool to have a girl for that reason!

So really, I'm in a win win situation 

Also, I love both my girl and boy names that DH and I have agreed on and so it totally doesn't matter! Or maybe I'm just indecisive

I go back and forth, DAILY! Sort of feel that I HAVE to have at least 1 girl.... but love little boys. My DH is really hoping for a boy! Excited for either!

Am&Jay06

BOY, my DH and I both want a boy for our first but I can only picture us with a girl.  Even friends always tell us it will be a girl, so we can't wait to find out!

naflmj

I think I want a girl. I really wanted a boy the first time and was so excited to get a son. This time I don't have the I NEED to have a Girl but I think it would be nice to have one of each.

ShellBelle1

I'm torn!  I want a girl for me.  I am such a girly-girl and could see me dressing her up and going to lunch together and shopping.  On the other hand, I would really like a boy for my husband.  I think it would be like him having a mini-me, a little shaddow to do everything with.  I can see them playing catch in the front yard and him teaching him how to golf. 

SHUVUU

A Girl. Partly for selfish reasons: I always had an amazing relationship with my Mom and want the same for my daughter and I.

DiademChi

I want both!  I don't know what I'm carrying yet, but I day dream about having a boy and a girl (as a set of twins).

I think I'm slightly partial to a boy, because I had such a wonderful relationship with my brother who is 6 years my younger.  I vividly remember helping to feed, change him, rock him, play with him and watch him grow up. 

klafle3

In all honesty, I have no preference! DH wants a boy.
