I'm scared to have a girl!

I'm with Kabes on this one - I'm really worried about having a boy. I always wanted to have 3 girls and I'm sure this one will be a boy. I just don't know if I can raise a boy; strong girls, sure!

(((Miss M))) You will do a great job, whether it's a girl or a boy! These things have a way of working out. My mom told me that she was worried about having a girl because she'd spent so much time caring for her 2 youngest siblings, both boys, that she felt she didn't "know how" to take care of a girl...but when I was born she found that it really didn't make a difference, and within a few months she was totally psyched about having a girl!

I'm not SCARED to have a boy, but both MrBecca and I would prefer a girl. We like little girls....I am a Girl Scout leader and would love to lead my own daughter's troop, whereas we are none too keen on Boy Scouting....Girls get a much wider range of choices in everything from careers to clothing....The attitudes of Western society seem to be shifting to favor females over males in many ways....Boys have a harder time finding peers who aren't into violent hobbies....We haven't come up with any boys' names that we really like.... But if we have a boy, he'll be a NICE boy like his father and he won't HAVE to wear army-green clothes w/trucks all over them. It will work out.

: me :

I want a house full of testostrone...

I want to be the Queen!

But because of a dream I had a long time ago, I am pretty sure this one is a girl

I am trying to get used to the idea, and praying for a tomboy

Mamas who are pregnant with boys........

You are in for the best! There is NOTHING (and I mean NOTHING) like your baby boy snuggling up in mamas lap and giving those sweet little boy kisses.

OH MAN! God give me a boy! (and I've got both!)

Can I in??

I have both...and they are different. But, I wouldn't trade EITHER one. I love playing dolls, dress up, ponies and looking at clothes with dd. She also loves to run and play, laugh and read. She is her own person. At times I feel more "projection" going on with her, you know? I remember more of my childhood with her and I expect more from both of us. I am not saying I like this, just that it is. With ds, I feel a little freer and less hard on myself.

I had a complicated relationship with my mom, and I have to be really honest with myself about it. I wish you luck and know you will do a good job!

I am so happy to have both

Oh lab I want one of those too!

I was scared to have a boy with #1 b/c I had no idea what to do with them. In my birth family, even the pets were female. My poor dad.

But boys rock! They are energetic and sensitive and sweet and loud. As I'm sure girls are, too!

I told DH I wanted a girl so I could pass on all my life experience to her, and he said, well you know she wouldn't listen anyway.

I am afraid to have a girl : With both previous pregnancies, we hoped for a girl (well, dh did :LOL ), but came up boys. I feel like I KNOW boys now and it is comfortable (even though the two of them are completely different). And I have all these boy's clothes. I feel like I am being terrible...

i'd be very happy with 7 girls i've always really wanted a little girl. i think some of it comes from always having wanted a sister (i have 2 brothers). and now i want dd to have a sister she can be close with. i'd also like to have a boy, just to see what it's like, but it wouldn't be a big deal to me if i don't ever have one. same with dh, he'd always wanted a little girl. i'm glad it's not up to me though :LOL

I always wanted to have a daughter. In my first pregnancy, we found out because I would have had to prepare myself for a boy. Great luck--the ultrasound technician said "GIRL!" We were thrilled.

My second pregnancy I still preferred a girl, although I was a little more open to a boy since I did at least have my daughter. But I grew up with a wild and violent brother, and for whatever reason, was scared of having a boy.

We decided to go low tech, and we didn't check until after the baby emerged. I will never forget tipping up that little bottom to check, and lordy I saw boy parts! And my first thought was "Oh so I'm SUPPOSED to have this adventure. WOW!" Suddenly all of the scary and unknown aspects of having a boy seemed like a precious adventure he and I were going to take together, and I felt so lucky to have him in my arms, trusting me to care for him and love him to pieces.

Now pregnant with #3, I still prefer a girl. I have no idea what that's about.

Anyway we're going to wait to find out again. I wish I could take a peek, but I will never forget the magic of holding my new baby and finding out right then. So I guess I'll just "let the mystery be."

I was scared to death to have a girl. I KNEW dd was a girl long before the u/s confirmed it and even after she was born, I was completely petrified. My wonderful, gorgeous, awesome son is 6 years older and I had just loved being mom to a ball playing, sword fighting, mama lovin boy! I couldn't imagine being mommy to a little girl.. I am such a tomboy that I knew I would have no way to communicate with a girl...

Well, my wonderful, beautiful 13 month old daughter has a temper like the lil Irish thing that she is, loves rough play and spends all day saying "vvvrrroooooom, vvvrrroooooom". I wouldn't trade her for the WORLD!

I am still hoping for a boy, but not because I prefer boys now... but because ds is from my first marriage and even though my dh considers him just as much his child as our dd, I think I would like for him to have a boy to carry on the bloodline ( my SIL will never have kids...) and I think that Ella will be oh so Daddy's girl anyway, that competition for her would be devestating
