  What gender baby did you always dream of having?

    I didn't dream of having either a boy or girl Not to sound cliche but I just wanted a healthy baby   However, I will say that during my first tri and part of my second, I swore I was going to have a boy.  I don't know why but that's just what I thought.  I was blessed with a baby girl  
  

  Did you happen to have the one you originally wanted?

    I had a healthy baby, so sure I got what I originally wanted
  

  What are your thoughts now? 

    I am so happy and blessed to have my little Lady Bug   She makes me smile and laugh all the time. We plan on having another baby and I don't think I have a preference whether it's a boy or girl. I think both would be fun

  I dreamed of both...although this pregnancy I wanted a boy first...

  i have a boy!

   I couldn't be happier! However, I would have been happy either way. I don't think it's so much gender for me as much as their little spirit!

  A) What gender baby did you always dream of having?  A boy or a girl? Girl

  Did you happen to have the one you originally wanted? Yes

  C) What are your thoughts now?! I love having a daughter. She's an absolute blast. However, if we have another, I would be more than happy to have a boy. I'm sure that each sex has their own unique parenting experiences and I would love to experience both. However, I'm kind of worried about having a girl as she starts to get older. I'm scared for the teenage years.

  hahaha This is exactly why DH doesn't want a girl!!

  A) What gender baby did you always dream of having?  A boy or a girl? I want one of each, although I would've liked to have had a girl first

  Did you happen to have the one you originally wanted? I got my boy first!

  C) What are your thoughts now?! I love my sweet boy more than anything in the entire world. It's hard to imagine what it would be like if he had been a girl! We will have one more baby, and I will be happy either way. I would like to have the experience of having a daughter, but I will be thrilled to have another boy because I know how fabulous the one I already have is!!

  DH always joked that I had to give him a boy first, but I knew that there was some truth in the joking. He was hesitant about having kids, and I knew he would feel more comfortable/less outnumbered if we had a boy. Thankfully, that's what we got! (The day we found out the sex, DH celebrated by buying a big flat screen for their "man room.") I am not sure if we will have any more, but I would kind of like to have one more boy and then a girl. I think it would be nice to have another boy for DS to play with, and then a girl as my last baby so I can spoil her and do girlie things for a change.

  I always dreamed of having boys and girls. But I had a feeling I would have a boy first. When I was pregnant I was sure I was having a boy. We found out at 20 weeks it was a GIRL! I was shocked my instincts were so wrong!

  Now, I cant even remember thinking she might be a boy or that I wanted a boy from my first baby. It all feels really as it should be, that I can't imagine it any other way. I am really excited to watch her be a big sister one day! Maybe... I hope

  I always thought I was going to have 2 boys. But I wanted a girl :P

  I had a girl!
  

  I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love having a little girl and I hope she will be a girly-girl and like ballet and delicate stuff. I am a ballet teacher, so she is already exposed to a lot of it.

  A) What gender baby did you always dream of having?  A boy or a girl?

  When I was pg w/ DD I wanted and hoped for a boy bc the thought of a little girl needing pony tails and things scared me.

  And when I was pg w DS I hoped for a girl bc I felt if dd was going to have a sibling so close in age a sister would be best.
  

  Did you happen to have the one you originally wanted?

  No on both accounts.  But even though we were team green I knew they weren't what I was hoping for so it was very much a "Eh, what are you gonna do" feeling once I had them.
  

  C) What are your thoughts now?! 

  They are as close as they would be if they were the same gender I think.  When I feel she could use some time away from her baby brother and I make it happen, she asks for me to get him.  It's really great!
