I was secretly hoping for a girl. With DS#2 I thought it really was going to be a girl. I am sure I will now end up with three boys But I love my boys. We aren't finding out. We enjoy the surprise.
With my son I had no idea. No dreams, intuition, nothing! With this one we were secretly leaning towards wanting a girl to balance the house but again I had NO idea. I sort of thought it would be another boy just because I figured I was destined for a life of chaotic, noisy, little boys! We're having a girl, though, and my DH and I were completely shocked.
I had dreams that DS was a boy before we found out. I was pretty sure this one was a little girl - and then had dreams it was a girl..and found out that SHE is a girl! So excited. I was pretty positive both times

I'm not having a girl this time, but I had a girl last time and she's my 2nd. I actually had no feelings either way when I was pregnant with her. The pregnancies were about the same and i had no gut instinct. In contrast, when I had DS1 I knew 100% that he was a boy the whole pregnancy (and we were team green), but this time, I *thought* I knew 100% this LO was another girl, and was wrong; it's another boy!
With DS, I thought for sure he was a girl and was shocked to find out he was a boy at our A/S. Haha, so much for intuition.
But this pregnancy has been so different, that I thought it was a girl. I couldn't stand vegetables with DS, drank a ton of milk, ate meat all the time, and french fries. This time, all I wanted for a while was salad and couldn't stand the thought of eating meat. I looked phenomenal while pg with DS and look like poop this time-- all bloated, breaking out, etc. Anyway, I don't feel like I had the same intuition type feeling that I was horribly wrong with the first time, but it was more because my symptoms were so different, I thought it must be a girl... and it is!
This is actually my 3rd. I have two boys and just found out yesterday this one is a girl! With my first I had strong feelings it was a boy and it of course was. The 2nd one I really had no feelings either way, but my pregnancies were identical, so I just assumed boy and it was. This time my pregnancy has been completely different, I was sick this time, different cravings, extremely hormonal, etc. and I had a feeling, although I didn't want to admit it, that this one was a girl. I did however have multiple dreams this one was a boy.

My first instinct with #2 was girl all the way, but I didn't know if that was b/c I generally wanted a girl or if I really thought it was a girl. Everyone in my fam thought girl for #2, including DH. I switched it to boy at like 5w PG and that's what I really thought I was having up until my a/s... another boy (which I, of course, would have been so happy with.)
But nope, girl.
This time I do think it's a girl, so we'll see in September!
I can't wait to find out in 2 weeks! I've been soooo sick, hormonal and gross this time and last time I looked great, glowing and just had mild nausea. It has to be a girl, but i'd be thrilled for DS to have a little brother too .

ETA: I thought DS was a boy the whole time.
