Boy or Girl

dana2die4 · January 2014

At the end of the day, I know we all just want a happy healthy baby…..but just for fun….do you want a girl or a boy?? Or do you not have a preference??

For me, I would like to have a girl this time around, and DH wants another boy

I would love a girl, but another boy would be fun too.

I'd like a boy, because we only want 2 & I'd like one of each. But if I have 2 girls, I'm completely okay with that.

This is our first. We would both prefer a boy. I think my DH is afraid of having a teenage girl.

HAHA DH has that same fear if we have a girl.

I'd be happy with another boy, I think boys are so fun and I know what I'm doing with mine, but I'd love a little girl too, so we want a girl this time in case we're done after 2.

cmumama · January 2014

I want a girl and so does my husband, but we will probably have a 3rd boy.

beckynsean11 · January 2014

I honestly don't know anymore. If you asked me this the first time around, I would have said boy. I always wanted to have my boy first. MH never wanted a girl because he's afraid, so very afraid. We were talking this weekend & he admitted that he really wanted a girl this time. Once he found out the the loss was a girl, he got very attached to the idea of having a daughter & he really wants that now. Part of me feels like it would be really hard to have this be a girl for some reason that I can't put into words. Sorry, didn't mean to be Debbie Downer here.

I want a girl. DH wants 2 kids, one of each. I only want one kid (I think) but if we had a boy I would probably try for girl. I think DH would die if we had two girls.

Then again I don't want to be like my step brother. They kept trying for a girl and now have 4 boys, and finally their girl haha.

Vanellope · January 2014

We have two girls. Praying for a boy haha!

mana8503 · January 2014

I don't care either way, I feel boy though. I think H is more scared of another boy, because his son has autism and it runs more for boys than girls.

Nenetouti · January 2014

This is my first and I'm hoping it's a boy. We have a lot of girls in my family and it would be nice to have a different experience.

Ceridwen21 · January 2014

I really wanted a girl when I was pregnant with DS, but now I can't imagine having a girl! I think it would be fun to have brothers. But deep down, I know I really would love to have a daughter too, especially an adult daughter because my mom and I are really close.

mapchick77 · January 2014

We are only going to have two so it would make sense for me to kind of want a girl this time, however, I have doubts about my ability to raise a well-adjusted girl because I have a whole slew of self-esteem issues of my own. I think I might be over-reacting though. Part of me does like the idea of DS getting a brother though so I dunno. I'm not really hoping either way.

bookqueen · January 2014

If I could choose, I would pick another boy. I would still be happy with a girl though, that's what DH wants.

roashem2008 · January 2014

I am not sure. I go back and forth. DD is 6.5 months old so I feel like they would be SO cute together now. But when they are older, I just imagine the cat fights. DH wants a boy, and if we have a boy we might be done. Which makes me sad, but kind of relieved at the same time.

biokitty42 · January 2014

I'm hoping for another girl. I have a sister, and we are so close. I think it would be fun to have two little girls, but I'd be happy with a boy, too!

Starbear06 · January 2014

When I was pregnant with DS, I really wanted to have a girl. Now I can't imagine it any other way. Now that I'm pregnant with #2, part of me still wants to have a daughter but I know having another boy would be easier especially with their age gap. And I would get to reuse all of DS#1 clothes! So I think I would happy either way as long as I have a healthy baby and hopefully an uneventful pregnancy!

rockychryslerb2010 · January 2014

I really can't decide, I go back and forth.

I love being a mom to a boy, so a second boy would be good. My sister has three boys, so another boy would be perfect.

But, then I can't imagine not being mom to a girl. I want to experience prom dress shopping, being the mother of the bride, etc. So having a girl would be perfect.

Last time I had strong boy feeling, but nothing yet for this pregnancy.

Hward1015 · January 2014

I love the idea of having another girl, I have a feeling that it will be. I knew from the beginning DD was a girl. My SO would love to have a boy though.

chardonnay24 · January 2014

I honestly don't have an opinion. I've heard that ASD is less prevalent in girls, and for that alone, I'd want a girl, but obviously a girl could be on the spectrum as well. But I love my son, and I loved having a sweet little baby boy, so I wouldn't mind another one.

AR1of2 · January 2014

This is our first, and I don't have a strong intuition yet about what we are having...maybe leaning girl.

As far as what we *want*...DH is far more comfortable with the idea of a boy! But he would be so, so sweet with a little girl, IMO. My brother and SIL have an infant son, so they want ours to be a boy for their son to play with! Idk...I can envision life either way.

DH's sister is desperate for the baby to be a girl! This is tough to decide! I do want that mother daughter bond that I have with my mom, too. Hmm.

Tussie Mussie · January 2014

I am very close to my sister, so I think that's why I'd like another girl. I had really strong boy feelings with DD though and they were totally wrong. This time I have no feelings one way or the other, but I can't wait to find out (even though that parts forever away).

Atreble · January 2014

This is so hard! This is our first, and I really don't think I have a preference. On the one hand, having a girl would help "even" things out in our house. It's me, hubby, and 2 boy dogs. So it would kind of really jazz things up to have a girl! BUT, even though I am a girl, I still feel like I don't know much about girls! LOL! Us girls have our issues! I was always a tomboy growing up, didn't play with a lot of dolls or things like that. And I think I'd be terrible at fixing little girl hair!

On the other hand, a boy would rock too! My hubby has so many plans that involve truck rides and dirt and tools!

We are probably going to stop with one, so whatever it is...I really hope it will end up liking dirt! LOL!

dinodna3 · January 2014

This is our first and we want a boy. I definitely want a girl, I just always wanted an older brother.

MMason12 · January 2014

I really have zero preference. My husband wants and is convinced it's a boy. He's terrified to have a girl, lol. Yes, he will love a girl all the same I think he just know young boys like he was will be after our daughter eventually and he would already want to shoot them all, lol.

ConversationFear · January 2014

I honestly don't care. I thought I always would, but I don't. I know my husband really wants a boy, but I think that's more because he feels like he doesn't know what to do with a girl (only boys in his family - his dad's family - grandpa's so on and so forth).

I fear that he may be disappointed, however. I have my reasons why I strongly feel this is a girl, but you never know - I could be wrong!

sunnysidexup · January 2014

This is our first too, and we both want a girl since we have had three nephews who are all boys for a looooong time. But, I'm happy with a boy too, of course

chusum · January 2014

It really doesn't matter to me. I wanted a girl with my daughter, and I got a girl. It would be equally awesome to have a 2nd girl or one of each sex. It'll be fun either way!

DukeNDaisy · January 2014

We really want a girl. DH only wants two kids, so I hoping to get one of each. (Although if baby #2 is a boy, we will probably try one more time.)

LovelyLou23 · January 2014

girl. DS is all boy and is already exhausting me way more than DD ever has. I know that might change come the teenage years, but for right now, I'd rather have another girl.

brazendame · January 2014

It's our first, so I'm happy either way.

This is exactly how I feel except we already have a boy. Plus, a boy would be "easier" because we know what to expect but a girl would be exciting because we'd get to experience both. Either way I'll be excited!!

alieelyse · January 2014

I'm afraid of losing my femininity if we have another boy lol. Both DH and I are hoping for a girl since they are super rare in his family. DS loves to do everything daddy does so I told him this time around I want my own little buddy as I am very close with my own mom. Truly we will be overjoyed either way.

emmylu30 · January 2014

I'm pulling for another boy since I think brothers especially fairly close in age are cute but I know my husband wants a little princess.

SocraTeaseMe · January 2014

I don't care either way. I really don't.

That said, I know in my heart that this is another girl. I just know it.

Like, mark my words right here right now that I will be on TEAM PINK. I just have this overwhelming vision of two little girls holding hands.

Irisheyes1247 · January 2014

I know DH wants a boy, so I kind of want a boy so I know he will have his boy. But truly, I would love another girl too. I don't know what we would do with a boy lol

I feel like this is a boy because so far I just feel a lot different from my other two pregnancies. But we shall see.

lesleyn21 · January 2014

We want another boy but would be happy with a girl.

GabbyCat13 · January 2014

Girl!!! Definitely want another girl. Then a boy. DH wants a boy

lovesazzie · January 2014

We would like to have a girl, but we'd be happy with boy #3 too - we are team green, but I think it's a boy!!

mrsdanielleM2010 · January 2014

Obviously, I'll take what I can get, but I think I'd do a better job at a boy first. I think my DH would be cuter as a Dad to a daughter though, and that's really appealing. I feel like he'd find it easier to stay "tough" with a boy, whereas a girl will wrap him around her tiny little finger.
