I was reeeeeally hoping for a girl. When I found out it was a boy, I was bummed out for about half an hour. Now, though, I'm actually glad it's a boy and not a girl. If I went to the doctor and she told me "Oops, we made a mistake - you're actually having a girl!" I think I would actually be more disappointed than I was at the u/s - haha! I am completely attached to the idea of having a son now, and couldn't be happier.
I have to admit that I originally was really hoping for a girl and I felt really guilty about that because it took us 3 1/2 years to get pregnant and I don't feel like I should hope for a girl instead of a boy. I've just always dreamed of having a daughter. Once we had our anatomy scan and found out there is a problem with our baby's kidneys I feel even more guilty for ever caring about the sex of our baby. Now I really do just want a healthy baby. I would still be thrilled with a girl, but it's not quite the same feeling for me that it was before. I know that the problem with our baby is more common in boys, but can be more probelmatic in girls so I guess I'm kind of hoping for a boy now just for a lower risk of other associated problems. All I really want is a baby that has no additional problems and can live a (almost) completely normal life. Ideally, I would like to have at least one of each at some point so it doesn't really matter what comes first, but if I had to choose over only having a girl or only having a boy, I would choose a girl (boys kind of scare me).
It took 3 1/2 long years, but we finally got our little miracle!

WIth DD I really didn't care - it was our first and I just wanted a healthy baby. DH wanted a boy but I think now he's happy with a girl.
With this baby I really really want a boy, because I'd like one of each and to stop at 2 kids. But I think DH would like three so he'd prefer another girl so he can talk me into three kids.
deep down - girl. But I think it is a boy and I will be thrilled either way
This exactly. DH really wants a boy and everyone in my family is convinced it's a boy, but deep down I would like to have a girl. Either way, I'll be happy, though.

This is our first, and we knew we wanted to have both eventually, but for this one I was really hoping for a boy. The only reason I was hoping for a boy was because grew up with two older brothers - and was really hoping that our little girl could have an older brother, because I love mine. When we found out we're having a girl though - I was a little sad she'd never get an older brother, but quickly thought about how exciting it is going to be for her to be the big sister.
I want both. But deep down inside I want this to be a girl. I'll be thrilled with a boy too. My SO would like this to be a boy, but like me, he'll be thrilled with a girl. At the same time I'd love, love, love to give him a little boy and the look on his face if it is a boy will have me in tears. God, my train of thought is all over the place!
We are the last ones with our last names....so....DH and I would really like a little boy. My hunch is boy, but we are team green. I am sorta budging but DH insists we don't find out until delivery. So I will give him his wish, and I will suffer trying to get the nursery ready (we have a different theme for boy and girl).
I honestly wouldn't cry if it was a little girl though. I just think of all the fun shopping trips that we would have...my mom and I used to do this together all the time. I was only a year and a half old when I would check the price tags on my size of clothing and if I thought it was too much, I would put it back on the rack.
At the NT scan they told us 80% it looks like a girl, and since then I've become very attached to the idea of our little girl. I'm sure I'll be happy with a boy if it turns out they were wrong, but I've just been thinking girl since then and it would throw me.

Re: Flame Free Confessions: Which TEAM are you hoping for?
Ditto!
I have always wanted a boy first!!! With that being said....
DH thinks its a boy (along with everyone else)
Dr "predicts" a boy at last Dr appt....
And, to my surprise I had a moment of feeling disappointed. LOL! Obviously regardless of sex I will be ecstatic either way!
