Like you, health was our priority. I thought I was going to have a boy but once we found out we were having a girl, I fell in love with the idea of having my own little daughter. Whenever #2 happens, I don't care what gender it is - I like the idea of having one of each but I also like the idea of sisters.

Healthy baby was a huge priority for us, especially since we had a scare with radiation exposure early in my pregnancy. As for a gender, I wanted our first to be a boy because I grew up with a house full of girls. Only during the beginning of my pregnancy did I start to favor having a little girl.

I will admit that having a boy first has put a lot of pressure off of my husband and I. Asian cultures can be so pushy about having the prized boy, and it's just silly.

My husband and I wanted a boy first. When we found out we were having a girl, he was so excited immediately. But it didn't take me long after the scan, maybe an hour, to start being really excited we were having a girl and her name came to me right away once I processed the information. Now, if we have a second, I would really love to have another girl as I think they are so sweet but of course having one and one would be cool, too.

We just wanted a healthy baby. But, I was hoping for a boy. Husband wanted a girl. I'm so so so happy I have a baby girl. Every mama needs a daughter!
For baby #2 I'd like a girl.. but would be happy either way.

We want both, but we are sort of rooting for a girl to be the first one.

As I'm creeping up on the age of 35, a healthy baby is VERY important to us. I would like a girl. My husband would like a boy. One of us will get our wish!! We will both be happy with either one but I know if we have a girl, dh will have to get a prescription for heartburn medicine.

We'd be happy with either but we're both rooting for a son. The bond between the hubs and our nephew is so adorable. I would really love for us to have a boy. Obviously a healthy baby of either gender would be fantastic.

I already have DS from a previous marriage so my 1st was a boy. This go round I think both DH and I are leaning to "wanting" another boy for a couple reason....

1. Even though DH is 1 of 4 on his dad's side, NOONE (out of like 10 grandkids) has had a boy. This would be the 1st official "name carrier"

2. DS has waited a LOOOONG time to have a sibling where he lives (his dad has another son) and we would love to be able to give him a brother to play with.

That said, we'll be just as thrilled to have a daughter (and I do love the idea of having a one-day relationship like my mom & I have) AND DS has even said that he's okay with having a baby sister.... "as long as I don't have girl toys in my room" lol

Since we aren't finding out the gender we'll just be in suspense until this coming April. EEK! *excitement*
