Our first is a girl and for the sake of me and my husband I would love for us to get to experience having one of each. But at the same time I would love for my daughter to have a sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-962111 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 09:01:08 +0000 blackbird 962111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would like #2 to be a boy (then #3 can be a surprise!) but if #2 is a girl, I'll be psyched, too. I know DH is worried about the possibility of THREE daughters, though, lol. Me, too! Talk about drama :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-961678 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 07:24:13 +0000 swedishfish 961678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a little girl and as much as I'd like another little girl (when the time comes!) I know DH would love a son. I grew up with two sisters so I'm clueless about raising boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-961662 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 07:16:33 +0000 littlek 961662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Springtime: I want a little girl. But if we have another little boy I will not be sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-961569 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 06:32:29 +0000 MamaChin 961569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a boy and he is beautiful but I would love for #2 to be a girl. Although I have to say there is something appealing about having two boys, especially they'll only be 16 months apart. Either way I hope they'll be best friends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-961529 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 05:18:01 +0000 Andrea 961529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have been equally happy either way, but I wanted DD to have a sister since we are done at 2 kids. I have 2 girls. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-961522 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 04:49:20 +0000 ALV91711 961522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We aren't 100% that we will have another. If we do I'd love another son, although a small part of me wants a girl. I know DH would love to have a daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-961506 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 03:52:49 +0000 lamariniere 961506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Springtime: Me too! I will find out in 3 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-960976 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:58:51 +0000 BananaPancakes 960976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't decided yet if we'll have another, but if we do I have no real preference. Since that's the case, I'd pick boy, just so we could reuse clothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-960862 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:23:59 +0000 NavyRN2012 960862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I had a strong preference for a boy with #1 and I just wanted a sibling for him so badly I didn't care if it was boy or girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-960852 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:20:59 +0000 sarac 960852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like to have a boy so that my husband could have a son, especially. But if we had another girl, then my daughter could have a sister, and I'd love that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-960660 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 17:59:36 +0000 DigAPony 960660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first isn't born yet but is a boy, and I definitely hope #2 is a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-960598 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 17:34:43 +0000 Smurfette 960598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always said I wanted two girls. So I would prefer another girl, I kind of want a boy at the same time. So I think either way I will be happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-960468 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 16:48:56 +0000 HLK208 960468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved having a baby boy (still love having a big boy!) but I think I would want another girl since all of DD's clothes are gently used and newer so I could reuse them. Most of DS's old clothes had untreatable stains! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-960456 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 16:45:16 +0000 Ree723 960456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a girl for our first and if I really had to state a preference, it would be for another girl! I'd love for DD to have a sister, especially as they're only going to be 19 months apart, but we'll also be very happy if this next LO is a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-960452 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 16:43:43 +0000 Running Elley 960452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We already have a little boy and for #2 I had a slight preference toward girl...just because I'm so girly and I'd love to have a daughter. I totally love having a little boy though so I wouldn't have been disappointed having all boys even! But #2 is a girl :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-960433 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 16:35:05 +0000 hellobeeboston 960433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a boy - and really, I could go either way for #2... I actually really wanted a boy first.... And it would be nice to have a girl, but another boy would also be awesome, brothers! @FutureMrsMcK: wow, 75 years?! That is crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-960431 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 16:34:54 +0000 matador84 960431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a boy and I want another boy! Having them so close I really want to reuse all our clothing! Plus it will make sharing a room that much easier later on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-960412 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 16:27:56 +0000 LuLu Mom 960412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a girl, and we would love a boy, but I'm secretly hoping for another girl so my DD can experience that bond sisters have :) I will be thrilled with either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-960409 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 16:27:01 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 960409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really care. It was nice to be able to re-use all of our clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-960402 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 16:24:24 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 960402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our first was a girl, so I had no preference for #2 - I would've been happy with either gender!</p> <p>If my first had been a boy, I probably would've really wanted a girl for #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-959901 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:16:51 +0000 MrsMccarthy 959901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the same boat at Twopeas and see Baos point of view too. We are most likely only having two children. It would be pretty neat to have one of each BUT I am also so in love with little boys and my son in particular. I feel like a house full of boys would be fun and never dull. We will see what the baby gods do for us when the time comes. At 36 I can only hope for enough good eggs to get a happy healthy baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-959870 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:10:12 +0000 autumnlove 959870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a preference for a boy..but I also wanted a girl.

But as much as I'd love for him to have a little sister...the thought of two boys makes me a little bit tentative about trying for #2. I have such a good relationship with my mom, and I'd love a daughter to have that with - but I would never want more than two, so there's more pressure with #2 if that makes sense; </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-959835 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:03:55 +0000 Koolbreeze 959835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were leaning toward another boy. After having DS1 we both agreed we would love to have all boys. We got our second boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-959833 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:03:36 +0000 Bao 959833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a girl...I would love a boy for this one! I think we are done having kids after this so one of each would be ideal, so I can really feel "done", instead of wondering about the boy I never had ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-959823 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:02:22 +0000 lovehoneybee 959823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Springtime: @2PeasinaPod: We were at lunch with my ILs and some of FIL's distant cousins who are visiting from Switzerland and they were joking that DH would have to get a paternity test if E had been a girl since McK's apparently can't have girls! When I was pregnant it was a running (non)joke that if he was a she we would just have to get it over with and name her "Princess" because of how spoiled she'd be by all of the rest of the family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-preference-for-baby-2#post-959811 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:00:20 +0000 GrapeCrush 959811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a little boy and when I got pregnant with #2, I really hoped it'd be a girl. And it is :) </p>
