I don't doubt that DH would have wanted to try again if we had a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-476028 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 16:21:54 +0000 LuLu Mom 476028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't care either way, although deep down I think I wanted a girl to dress up and shop for, but for the next time I know we are both really going to want a boy (and to give my dad his first grandson...my sister is prego now and I"m secretely hoping she has another girl!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-476026 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 16:20:38 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 476026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted one of each and then to be done. So it didn't matter to me which came first. We got a boy. I am seriously hoping for a girl next but DH wants 4 kids so he hopes we don't get a girl next! He wants his 4 kids. I, on the other hand would be totally satisfied if next was a girl and we closed up shop:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475905 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 15:42:00 +0000 Mrs. Train 475905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we adopted I really didn't care. I just wanted to be a mom. We got a boy. </p> <p>With my twins I really wanted a girl but we got two boys</p> <p>I wanted a girl so we went for it and had our daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475892 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 15:36:20 +0000 lemondrop 475892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both really wanted a boy first, and we got him!</p> <p>I was floored when the tech told us that he was a boy, I was 100% sure he would be a girl. We have all boys of similar ages in the family and friends, so I was sure we would have the only girl.</p> <p>I hope next time around we get another boy, we really want him to get a brother close in age to wrestle with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475857 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 15:24:41 +0000 Springtime 475857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both really wanted a boy and got a boy.

We didn't care either way, but I just knew she was a girl, and had it been a boy, I would have been happy, but really thrown off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475631 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:23:11 +0000 Mrsbells 475631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didnt care. I got a girl and I'm happy. I would have been just as happy with a boy. I REALLY just wanted a healthy baby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475629 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:23:07 +0000 rachiecakes 475629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really and truly didn't care. I felt so lucky to be pregnant.<br /> DH on the other hand wanted a girl, was terrified of having a boy. He was really disappointed when we found out it was a boy. He went to therapy, he got over it, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475625 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:22:24 +0000 MsLipGloss 475625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I was having a boy, and I was leaning toward wanting a boy when I found out I was pg . . . DH was leaning toward wanting a girl. When I found out I was having a girl, after the first few seconds of shock (how could I have been so wrong!?), I was totally elated, and now that she's here, I couldn't imagine our little family any other way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475624 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:22:18 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 475624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I'm the exact same way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475623 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:22:04 +0000 mrs. wagon 475623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted a boy first and we got him. I wanted a girl second and we got her! It's all about the Shettles method ;D</p> <p>Although with the second I was intimidated by the thought of a girl since I grew up around all boys. And I wanted to be able to reuse all of Wagon Jr.'s things (we wouldn't have had to buy a single thing!). But I'm so, so happy I have my girl. She is my heart!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475609 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:20:26 +0000 MamaBehr 475609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one of each, but I was pretty excited when we found out our first was a girl. If we go for three (gosh I hope we do!) I am hoping for another girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475601 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:18:25 +0000 lovehoneybee 475601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: If it helps, we were TG and both really really wanted a girl...to the point where I was regretting not finding out the gender because I was scared I would be disappointed if it turned out to be a boy and thought I should have given myself time to prepare if it was. The second DH told me it was a boy, though, it immediately clicked--admittedly my first thought was "Huh, I thought you'd be a girl" but very soon after my thoughts were more along the lines of "Of COURSE you're a boy, and you're MY SON" and now I can't imagine having a girl. DH was the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475596 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:17:05 +0000 mediagirl 475596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted a girl and got a girl. :) If we had another, I would probably wish for another girl but, I would be happy with either. It was important for me to get my girl first because we probably won't have another!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475591 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:14:33 +0000 yellowbird 475591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't necessarily want one or the other, but when I found out I was pregnant I kneeeew it was a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475590 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:14:21 +0000 hilsy85 475590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both wanted a boy and got one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475584 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:13:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 475584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really truly don't care, but DH would really like a boy, to the point that I'm afraid he will be disappointed if we have a girl. We are team green, though, so won't know until the end of July. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475563 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:08:26 +0000 JoJoGirl 475563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really truly don't care, so agreed I'd be Team Green with DH (who doesn't care as long as it's a surprise!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475557 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:07:33 +0000 Smurfette 475557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted a girl, so was thrilled when the ultrasound tech said we have a little girl on the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475556 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:07:29 +0000 autumnlove 475556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel awful admitting this but I really wanted a boy the first time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475550 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:06:20 +0000 BelugaBean 475550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! We both really wanted a girl and she's a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475544 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:04:18 +0000 Adira 475544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always always always wanted a girl, but when I got pregnant, I suddenly really hoped to have a boy (I want both, but I really wanted to have a boy FIRST). And baby #1 is a boy!! Let's hope I'm as lucky with baby #2 in a few years, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-the-gender-you-wanted#post-475543 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:04:00 +0000 chopsuey 475543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted 2 girls initially, but I'm so happy I have one of each! :D </p>
