"I hope im on team pink/blue"

Im sorry, but I hope my baby is heathy and happy.. and whatever it is.. it is.

(this is pretty much a rp)

agree. my SIL is having her second boy next month and everytime she is around her 6 m.o. niece or 1 year old cousin she whines "i wish i was having a girlllllllll" and it's kind of awkward and irritating. hubby and i hope for health, not gender!

Everyone hopes for a healthy baby. But it is exciting once you know what you are having. Especially if it's your first child.

LCB34 · April 2010

I totally agree. I am so excited to be having a girl but would be just as excited if this baby was a boy. I just want to actually bring a living baby home from the hospital in August.

Just because I want a girl doesn't mean that I won't be 100% happy with a boy. I will be 100% as long as it's healthy. Goodness.

One of my peeves is when people forget what the "big" scan is actually about. It's not solely for finding out the sex of the baby, though I think many women forget this.

Personally, perhaps I'm a paranoid android, but I'm totally freaking out about our scan next week. I'm just hoping like all hell that the baby is healthy, I really don't care what sex it is.

This. I'm sorry...I have two boys, so I would love to have a girl. I already know the joy of boys though, so if we are blessed with another boy, great! But I can't help but wish a little. Of course I want to hear that this LO is healthy first and foremost...especially after getting pregnant so quickly after a MC...I've been a big worrywart this whole time.

can't a person hope for one gender without having to clarify that they will, in fact, be happy with either and that the hope for a healthy baby is a given... it's not like people are saying "i hope it's a girl... who gives a *** if it's healthy or not"....

This. Chill out. Not everyone is going to post the caveat of ***but I really just want it to be healthy*** every.single.time even though I'm sure it's what just about everyone is thinking.

I was just about to post this You beat me to it!

I am with you. I mean, I guess if you have 3 boys and you'd like to have a girl and this is your last baby, I can see why you might "hope" for a girl. But, when it gets real serious, like with those gender disappointment sites, I can't understand it (and, probably glad I don't since I consider it to be slightly psychotic).

This! We found out that we're having another boy and we're excited. Like you said, when you have a boy and are expecting another, you know what to expect (for the most part). Everyone we have told is almost disappointed that I won't get to experience the love of a daughter and that bond. I'm cool with having two boys and being the princess! I don't think it's wrong to be wishful. I don't resent having another boy at all! There is nothing like the bond between a mother and son.

This is our 3rd and last and with 2 boys in the bag already I was hoping this one was a healthy baby girl. But alas I am a mom of 3 wonderful healthy boys.

Amen. Who says, "I really hope it's a girl even if it's just a little sick"... We all want healthy babies. Isn't that just common sense?

100% with you on this!!!

toyah81 · April 2010

haha! I saw this post last night and I was thinking what most pp said, that no one ever wants preferred gender over a healthy baby! It's just hopeful thinking! I don't understand why people have to point this out all the time....

Mrsalt027 · April 2010

I don't think there's anything wrong with hoping for one gender or the other. Of course we ALL want happy, healthy babies so I think it's perfectly ok to say I hope we have a boy/girl.

Bunny622 · April 2010

Of course everyone wants their baby to be happy and healthy, i dont feel that makes it wrong to want one sex. I am going to be a single mom, great friends with the father, but he lives 2000 miles away. So YES i will be happy no matter what (Even if the baby's not perfect) but i would prefer a girl. Girls need their fathers, but i think boys need them even more. Plus i want to pass my barbie collection down some day!

MSC03 · April 2010

FYI, I do think there is a difference between having a preference ("I'd prefer X, but of course would be happy with Y") but considering how often we see "I really really want a girl! I need a pretty little princess!" posts, you should see where the OP was coming from on this.

And the people who come on after their anatomy scans (PSA: It is NOT a "gender ultrasound!") and are all... "I'm so upset, I really wanted a X!" make me sick.
