And no, SS isn't an option in this poll.

Re: Poll: You know you know...
A healthy baby.
Sorry, special snowflake for me it is.
Love & luck to my 3TC girls. Congrats to Omega-The boys are here!
If there's one thing I've learned while waiting my turn,
it's that in each life some rain falls but you also get some sun.
After 2 years & 2 losses, our little man arrived 8-2011.
This was my first thought, but if I'm really being honest, I'd love to have a girl, and DH wants a boy. Obviously, we'll be happy either way, though!
I think this question will be more relevant when we already have a LO, because DH and I would both like to have at least one of each gender.
Either or is fine by me.
ETA: Since special snowflake "isn't an option", I didn't vote.
This. Maybe a better way to phrase it would be, what did you want when you first started TTC and didn't imagine it would be the journey is is turning into/has turned into?
both.
maybe boy/girl twins?
I truly just want a healthy baby.
I've always said that I wanted a boy first, but now, I want a girl. And there hasn't been a baby girl born into my family or DH's family in almost 10 years, so a girl would be nice!
Good point. Sorry
Same, here.
Special smowflake for me. I want a healthy child.
I hope that if we have a girl she doesnt inherit my reproductive issues- but if we do and she does, well cross that bridge when we get there.
Edit: I didnt vote for the same reason as Sarah. Even in the beginning when I didnt know what this journey was going to be like I still only wanted a healthy child.
Cooper+Evie=Soulmates
I think DH would love a girl. I really am a special snowflake. I honestly do not care about the gender as long as I have a healthy baby.
No worries. I think this is just a touchy subject with the women here, understandably so, but I think that most people had a preference back when they were just imagining having a baby and not actually TTC. Not all, of course, but I would guess most.
I will be honest and say that I'd always wanted a girl. Even when we started dealing with IF. Now, after my c/p I don't care. I just want a baby. I don't care if it's a boy or girl. If It's born at Christmas or in the summer. I don't care what color eyes it has, or anything like that. I just want a child.
Honestly, I think you are a jerk for leaving out the SS.
a heartbeat
I would like to have atleast one of each, but I dont care what comes first. I just want a healthy baby.
The only thing good about having a girl first is that I can borrow all my niece's clothes from my sister!

i am really 50/50. since i have a boy already i think 2 boys would be awesome, but i'd also love a little girl...
at this point i will be lucky to have either
~after 34 cycles we finally got our 2nd little bundle of joy~
My IF blog
First, I am sorry for your loss.
Second, I feel the same. I very much wanted a girl (though I would have been elated with any baby), then, after my loss, I don't care. I think that my lost baby was a girl, maybe that's why I no longer have a preference.
Third, I think the word "jerk" may be harsh, as it is a public message board, and no one is required to participate in the poll, but I respect your perspective.
