If I am honest and give in to my selfish nature...I want it to be another boy. REALLY want it to be a boy. But, poor DD just wants a sister. And i really can't imagine her going her entire life not having a sister, ya know? So, for her sake, I hope its a girl. We will most assuredly be finding out. I cannot imagine not knowing. It would kill me!

I knew my dc was a boy, but wanted a girl sooo bad. I will be ecstatic either way. Another boy would be really nice, though

I think either would be wonderful! That said, I would love a little boy! I want a little copy of my sweet husband - he was and adorable baby and is a wonderful man. Little boys just fascinate me.
But I am happy either way. I always thought I would wait until the birth to find out, but I already want to know! But the only way to tell for sure is to get an ultrasound, right? And I don't plan to have any, so unless I get strong vibes on the sex, I won't know for sure until birth.

I really want another girl. I would be happy with a second boy and in some ways it will be easier for us with bedrooms, etc...
In the end I will be happy with either. I keep thinking it is a girl though. I was right with my other two, so time will tell.
We will be finding out the sex beforehand. We did with our first, did not with our second and we just prefer knowing.

I used the Chinese gender predictor and it said girl...I think. The thing is, my lmp was on 2/5, I O'd on 2/23, but I believe implantation happened on 3/2. So what month do I use? If it's February, I've supposedly got a boy. If it's March, it's a girl.

At the beginning of ttc I thought I really wanted a girl, a spring baby...but as the months and months of trying went by, I realized I just wanted a healthy child! My preference is still for a girl, but really, I'll be thrilled if it's a boy.

I really don't care, but I think DP would like a boy. We had some issues last time, which would tempt me to find out this time, but he says (and I believe him) that he is over them. Last time EVERYONE was sure we were having a boy , even I thought so BUT, I had had a dream that I was changing our 5 month old baby's diaper and was freaked out. "I think we made a terrible mistake. I can't find the penis!" Anyway, my dreams have been pretty accurate, although I haven't had one for this one yet.

I want another boy.

Partially cause we have tons of boy clothes, and they'll be about two years apart.

Partially cause if we have another boy, then I will definitely be having a third, cause I want a girl!

Ever since starting TTC I've felt like #1 would probably be a boy. No feelings about what this one might be, or even if it's one or two. Perhaps that will develop later.

I don't have a strong preference either way, although I'd like to parent a boy and a girl at some point.

I guess I'm kind of hoping for a boy, since I have two girls and a boy, it would be nice for DS to have a brother. But if not this time, next time! We want a big family....so I'm happy either way!

Uh oh. Update time. I was in the car and it hit me. I want a boy, and I never thought I'd say that. It was just a sudden longing, perhaps brought on by watching too much Michael Cera in Arrested Development. I want to be that boy's mama.

I really think I'm having a girl. But cliche as it sounds, I'm only hoping for a healthy baby! I love my boy and my girl, and I would never say I preferred one gender over another!

Today I'm sure I'm going to have a boy. My biggest problem with this is I have a ton of girl names I love but no boy names that truly resonate.

If I am being totally honest...I would love to have another girl. Right now I don't have a feeling either way though.

I don't know if I will have a sonogram, but if I do, I will try to hold out and be surprised again like last time!

I looked at the Chinese chart and it says *boy*, Madame Zariska says *boy* (lol), but I go by when we had "relations" and when I most likely ovulated I think we would be more likely to get another little girly!

I have a friend who made me anal about this... it's not gender we're talking about, it's sex Sex is biologically determined (Female vs male), gender is a socially-constructed notion (feminine vs masculine) I know you all know that... but every time I see the word gender applied incorrectly... haha

We have 4 dd's altogether so we are hoping for a boy, I will be happy so long as it's healthy, I have no feelings either way everytime I was pg I thought it was a boy and everytime I was wrong. I did lose a son at 21 weeks so it would be very special to have a living healthy baby boy
