Clicky Poll: What are you secretly hoping for?

Cara1024 · July 2013

This question is for those who don't know the sex of the baby yet. Ya, ya I know we all just really want a healthy baby, but deep down inside you know you'd prefer one or the other, if you had to choose. So what are you hoping for? No SS this time; you have to choose!!!

I'm so conflicted on this one. I kind of want a girl so we get to experience raising both sexes and so my husband, who grew up in a family with 3 boys, would get to experience a daughter's love for her daddy (this might be because I am such a daddy's girl and come from a family of 3 girls), but then I also would love for my son to have a little brother to play with and it would mean we wouldn't have to buy more clothes.

DH really wants at least one boy as it would be the only opportunity to pass on the family name. It's not a common name which makes it more important to him. This is our first and based on his family history it's more likely we'll have a girl.
I don't really have a preference as I want both for different reasons, but if I had to choose I'd probably say boy because DH really wants a boy.

Fingers crossed we eventually have a big family, so we get to experience both sides

I didn't vote because I really, truly, do not have a preference. If I have a girl I get all the cute girly stuff, and all the mother/daughter stuff. If I have another boy I literally have everything that I need (right clothing seasons and everything) which is extremely practical plus I love having a boy so another one would be just as fun.

That's how I feel! I'd love to have one of each for the fun of raising both - BUT I think it would be great to have two little boys and hopefully they would be good friends!

I actually don't have a preference. I go back and forth every day, sometimes change my mind in the same day.

Yes I'm kind of there too. I have reasons for wanting both. I naturally want a girl (so that's how I voted), but last night a whole boy nursery design came to me and now I kinda really want to put that together! We will see...

mrsjenni · July 2013

Go team pink!

I have no shame in saying that we're both hoping for a girl this time. I am 1 of 3 girls and LOVE my sisters so much. It's only natural for me to want the same thing for my daughter (a sister, that is). That's not to say that I won't be just as happy if this is another boy. I look at my boys now and I don't know what I'd do without them... I'd be LUCKY to have another

aessary03 · July 2013

I have a girl already, but I just can't help myself and want another a little girl. I hope for a boy for my husband, but I love frilly girly stuff!

halfthetree · July 2013

We have a boy, and I would love a girl. Obviously ill be happy with either or, I wouldn't be disappointed with a boy, I love little boys, they are so sweet. But there has not been one girl in DHs family in over 6 generations. Like hundreds of years and the men don't produce girls. So I think knowing its not very likely makes me hope and pray for a little girl, at least one of our kids I hope will be a little girl!

OSUWifey09 · July 2013

With my first, I hoped for a boy; with our last baby, I had no preference. This time, I've made it clear that I do want a girl.

My husband wants a boy and is convinced it's a boy. I would love to have one of each, especially since this probably our last baby.

MrsGraham06 · July 2013

I have 2 boys and a girl. My DD is 2, and the screaming is unbelievable! I do NOT want to go through that again!

This exactly. Already have two boys, already have all the stuffs. If I girl, cool I get to buy all new stuff...although idk where I'm going to put it all.

Saltina11 · July 2013

I didn't vote b/c I honestly don't have a preference this time. I will admit I did hope for a girl last time. I'd love to have a son, and I'd love to give my daughter the fun of having a sister. So win-win, no matter what the outcome in my opinion!

FSUNole31 · July 2013

I keep going back and forth. I would love for DS to have a brother and use all his stuff, but I have three sisters and would love to have a girl so I am very torn. I would love either though and just can't wait to find out!

brideandbreve · July 2013

Both DH and I would really love to have a little girl, but there will be no complaints if we have another boy.

bookkitten · July 2013

We both really, really want another boy. Our family all wants us to have a girl, but we hope for another son.

jldubb0626 · July 2013

We already know #2 is a boy, but I can say I wanted a girl. I'm estatic to have another little man running around and I can't wait to see my boys grow up together, but since we're done at 2 I would have liked a daughter to have one of each.

Deblondie1 · July 2013

We'd both really love a boy this go around. I want to see how parenting a boy differs lol And H wants a mini-me, to carry on the family name. And if we have another girl, well then at least we have two beautiful, healthy offspring

Kismc · July 2013

I don't have a preference either. Each sex has their own set of pros and cons for me. My husband would like to experience raising a son and my daughter says she wants a baby sister. We'll be ecstatic either way!

jamiecal · July 2013

I had no strong feelings either way until my super obnoxious SIL told me I couldn't - that's right couldn't - have a girl before she does. So now I'm just hoping for a girl just to spite her lol.

Seriously though, I would be thrilled with a boy. My nephews are so much fun and would have a blast showing a new little boy the ropes as they grow up.

Exactly this! But I mostly feel like its a girl.

TNgoldengirl · July 2013

I chose girl, simply for convenience of having 2 girls exactly 2 years apart, for sharing clothes and such. I think they'd be great friends forever, and wear cute matchy outfits. However, I really don't have a preference, my mind changes often. It would be great to have a little boy as well, to even things out.
