Sex preferences?

[NaomiLorelie]

Do any of you have a preference of the sex of your August baby?

I would be lying if I didn't admit that I would love to have a boy as we already have two girls, but either way, I'm not complaining.

[2 in August]

I hate to admit it, but I really want another girl. I had a younger brother and we are close now but I can't help but thinking sisters would be much closer. Besides that, I still have all my dd's clothes so it would be darn convenient too, lol.

[ColoradoMama]

Part of me doesn't care at all. I miscarried before this baby, and all I want is a healthy baby. AND, I sort of want a girl. Don't ask me how I know, but I KNOW the baby I lost was a girl, and it kind of makes me want a girl. Crazy, huh? Oh well. Having had a boy and two girls, I know that I will be crazy, madly in love with whichever comes out of me.

[Glittergal]

well, deep down i think 3 girls would be great but of course we'll be thrilled either way!

[Robynee]

Yeah, I would love a girl, but I'll be happy with a boy too. I feel very strongly that we're having a girl and dh is convinced it's a boy.

[mrs rockstar]

I thought I wanted a boy, but the more I think about it I want another girl. I don't think we'll be doing this again until dd is in kindergarten and every girl needs a sister close to her age! I'll be happy with whatever we get, as long as it's healthy and happy but deep down, I want a girl :o

[the_lissa]

I am almost positive it is another girl. I want another girl, but that might be because that is what I am positive I am having. I always wanted a sister, etc.

[magpiedee]

I strongly feel it will be a girl, and DH agrees with me. The night before I took the pregnancy test-- in fact, what convinced me to take a pregnancy test instead of believing I was just having horrible PMS-- I woke up at 6am fast forwarding through girls' names in my head. I wasn't able to go to sleep until I lit on the right one. I woke up the next day and just knew.

I would really love to have one girl and one boy, but for some reason, I want a girl more, and I have no idea why. Maybe because I have such a strong relationship with my mom? DH really wants a son, eventually, but he's also willing to adopt if I decide that enough is enough in the childbearing department.

I'd love a girl, but I don't care too much - I love my boys :D!

[JenMidwife]

I honestly don't think I care & we had firmly decided that we weren't going to find out the sex on u/s, but the closer the time gets for that u/s, the more I'm thinking I won't be able to stand the suspense!!!! :)

[Sailmom]

I honestly will be pleased with any healthy baby. In many ways I would like one of each - but my brother is almost exactly 2 years younger than me and it took until adulthood for us to develop a relationship - but still we are sooo different. My dh, of course, wants a boy to "even out" the household! But I already have all the girl things, so monetary outlay would be minimal - and I always had wished for a sister growing up.

That being said - I "feel" like it is another girl.

[jenmk]

I would like to have a girl, because I have two wonderful boys already. 'Though another boy will be just fine with DH and me . . . we know boys! Don't have a boy's name, though. They're tough to come up with.

I do feel like this one is a girl, however. The pregnancy is VERY different than the two previous. We will hopefully find out in 4 weeks at our ultrasound . . . if s/he cooperates and gives us a good view.

I'd just really like the experience of a girl. I want to experience all I can in this lifetime.

[rebeccalizzie]

I can't help it...I kinda want another girl. My friends almost all have boys, and they are all crazy and wild and stereotypical boy-ish. My MIL keeps telling horror stories of how difficult her two boys were. My brother was definitely the difficult child in our family. I'm scared to death that if I have a boy (which is what everyone thinks I'm having) that I won't be able to handle it.

Thank goodness for love...if I didn't know that I will totally adore this child, I'd really be concerned!

[peilover010202]

Honestly I'm :1praying madly for a healthy babe. I take non-pregnant friendly medication everyday and from the research we've done, the risks are no higher for me than a regular woman. All of my dr's have cleared the pregnancy. But, I'm still very guarded and nervous about the upcoming ultrasound and genetics counseling.

But, when it comes to blue or pink? Well, I know boys. I feel comfortable parenting a boy. I know what to expect from a boy. So, out of comfort, I say boy.

With all that said, I'm fairly certain this babe is a girl! I've even had a boy dream - but it just doesn't "fit" for me. My intuition is telling me girl. Dh thinks it's a girl. And, when anyone asks ds if the baby is a boy or girl, he's always says girl, from the start.

[Azreial]

I'm totaly back and forth on this some days I'd rather a boy and some a girl. Same thing with thinking what I'm having :lol I was thinking girl in the begining then boy for a few weeks now I'm back at girl

[Karah R]

I don't have a strong preference-since with prior miscarriages, I truly happy for any healthy babe. But for DS's sake, and for symmetry, I'd kind of like a boy. I have this wierd feeling, though, that it's a girl! We shall see!

[CatskillMtnMama]

Girl. I mean it kind of frivolously, of course we'll be happy with any babe that comes along...

But with a girl, we know what to expect now, since we already have one. I feel sort of intimidated by the notion of a boy! So silly, I grew up with two of them, and was a stepparent to two young boys for a long time...

Plus, like 2 in August said, we already have all the clothes!! I've been purposely buying gender neutral clothes (most of my clothes are hand me downs and thrift store, but when I buy, I usually buy gender neutral).

Yup. I really really want another girl (I have two already).

I just had my best friend's son for 24 hours and I couldn't drop him off fast enough. I don't operate on that energy wavelength. I am a le'ts have a tea party and do art projects kind of mama.

Two more weeks and then we'll know!!!!!!!!!!

[tatgurl]

I'm actually having a LOT of trouble with this right now. I have two boys and would really like a girl. I know that there is a very good chance that it will be another boy. I keep looking at girl clothes, diapers and other stuff (hate pink, but there is SO much other cute girl stuff out there).
I'm having a lot of trouble preparing myself for it possible being a boy. and to make matters worse, my family is very vocal about wanting a girl too!!! Every time I see them or talk to them they ask "how much longer till you find out?" and "let's keep our fingers crossed for a girl."
I'm having a hard enough time with it myself without knowing that everyone else is going to be dissapointed if it's a boy.

I really don't know what I'm going to do to get over this. :crap

[Zuri'smom]

Healthy baby, of course, is the most strong wish. After that....girl all the way! My Dh wants a girl too. We keep imagining having two girls and that Zuri will have a sister. I have a strong feeling the baby is a girl. Having said all that, I don't want to set myself up for disappointment! We plan to wait to know until the baby is born, just like with the first. So I honestly don't think I will be upset whatever the sex is when the baby is placed in my arms. THat's my advice to the pp....don't find out during the u/s! Wait for the baby's birth b/c no one will be disappointed with a newborn staring back at their faces! Too cute, beautiful, amazing to be worried about the sex!

[veganf]

I WANT A GIRL!!!!
I know I'll feel guilty saying this if it's a boy, but it's true.
And after this horrible morning sickness, I never ever ever ever want to be pregnant again. I've been trying to turn my husband on to adopting after this.

[momofkellym]

I have strong feelings this one is a boy...having 2 girls a boy would be fun but another girl would be just as much fun...

[3_angels]

I really don't care what it is as long as it's healthy. I think it's a boy though. It don't know why I just do. A little girl would probably be more fun, though.
