I'm glad my first was a boy though. I didn't have a great relationship with my mom growing up so I was nervous about having a girl of my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-77081 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 01:07:21 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 77081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have sisters and it's a really special bond, so I'd love to have all girls... but after my first being a girl, it didn't really matter so much :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-77080 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 00:33:46 +0000 Grace 77080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes, but I would like one of each, ideally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-76498 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:57:46 +0000 LuLu Mom 76498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want one of each if possible! my mom had 3 and loved it, my MIL had 3 boys, and mentions how she wished she had one girl to do the girlie stuff with! I made sure to include her on all my wedding stuff since she didn't get to do it with a daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-76457 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:34:21 +0000 daniellemybelle 76457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really want a girl for all the reasons you all have mentioned. I hope #1 is a girl so we can not worry about what the rest end up being! I'd be happy with one girl and the rest boys, or all girls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-76455 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:32:31 +0000 j0s1e267 76455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Somehow I did not have a strong preference when I was preggie with my first although I did think that girls are nicer to shop for, haha. But DH wanted a girl. Well, we found out at 6.5 months that we will be having a girl. DH was thrilled while I was worried (still am!!!) cos mothers and daughters pretty much have love hate relationships :P. can't live with them yet can't live without them!</p> <p>But when we were deciding whether or not to have another child, I was inspired by photographer Jason Lee's photos of his two daughters and wanted a sister for my oldest. Well I got more than I bargained for, my oldest now has twin sisters :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-76448 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:27:11 +0000 banana 76448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At first, I definitely wanted a boy more than a girl. So when our first LO was a boy, i was ecstatic because I really didn't care what #2 would end up being. Now that I"m pregs with #2, I'm slightly leaning towards wanting a girl. But I'd be also thrilled with another boy. I'm 51% wanting girl and 49% wanting boy. Boys are so fun! My LO is my little buddy and I love that he's a little monster boy. DH dreams of all the things he will do with him growing up (playing catch, watching sports on TV, going to movies together) and I love hearing him dream like that. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-76446 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:27:02 +0000 Maysprout 76446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For some reason once I met my husband I thought we were going to have all boys. I wasn't sure if I had a preference, but for some reason had in my mind we would have boys.</p> <p>So far we have 1 daughter and really happy, though I do worry about those teenage years. I want her to have an excellent relationship with papa and her aunts so if she starts butting heads with me she can talk to someone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-76439 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 13:22:34 +0000 mrsjyw 76439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At least one! I HOPE!!!... I heard a saying the other day... "every mother needs at least one daughter..." and I think my mom wholeheartedly believes this... as do many other females in my life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-76094 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 06:44:21 +0000 pastemoo 76094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want a girl, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-76090 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 04:06:06 +0000 mynoahbear 76090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did want at least 1 girl but didn't think it was possible since DH comes from a family of all boys but our 2nd was a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-76065 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 02:42:40 +0000 BSB 76065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want at least one girl but I never really thought about the mother-daughter relationship until now. I guess I didn't really have a strong bond with my mother. I do want a girl for girly reasons like doing her hair, makeup, first dances, first kiss, first boyfriend, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-76050 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 02:12:26 +0000 looch 76050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a son, and he'll probably be our only child. If we were to have more, I'd want all boys. I don't think that the mother/daughter bond is any "better" or more "important" than the mother/son bond. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-76016 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 00:21:44 +0000 AmeliaBedelia 76016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really want 1 of each! So yes, I really want a daughter. I also really want a son. I love my relationship with my mother and I love the whole "father-daughter" bond that I never had and want that for my future daughter. I also really want a son and so does SO! But, we'll see. We've basically said, if we have 2 and they are the same gender, we will probably adopt one of the opposite gender. 3 is our absolute max anyway and we don't really want to chance 3 of the same gender. Too much estrogen or testosterone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-75827 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:13:33 +0000 cyneswith 75827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want both, to the point that we'll adopt if I have two of the same gender (I think both my husband and I are hoping the first two are the same gender. We want three!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-75824 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:13:08 +0000 chopsuey 75824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'd go crazy if I had all boys. Thankfully my first born is a girl! :) Now I don't care what I have as long as s/he's healthy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-75815 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:11:10 +0000 cyndistar3 75815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kinda wanted a boy but now it looks like we will have 2 girls for now... Maybe next time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-75783 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:00:22 +0000 sulli301 75783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very happy to have my little girl!! Part of me would like a boy next but the other part thinks that sister bond is so cool!! I have a little brother &amp; so does DH so no sisters!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-75733 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:46:21 +0000 anbanan15 75733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I would love to have a little girl. She would be the first in both families so I know everyone would be excited as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-75731 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:45:59 +0000 mediagirl 75731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes, I wanted a girl SO badly. I'm sure I'll be hating myself for it when she becomes a teenager but I'm SO HAPPY we're going to have a girl! Even my husband is looking forward to raising a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-75721 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:44:15 +0000 tequiero21 75721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>have always wanted at least 1 girl (not all though)... glad i get mine! =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-75718 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:43:04 +0000 twodoghouse 75718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always wanted a girl, though my husband is one of two boys and talking to his mom about raising two little boys almost changed my mind about having a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-75657 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:23:48 +0000 hilsy85 75657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I definitely want a girl. I would be happy with 2 boys and a girl. I just think that without a girl, you miss out on all the stuff that happens after your child grows up-girls are more likely to involve their moms in wedding planning, babies, etc etc. Obviously it's not a cut and dry rule, but I know that's the kind of relationship I have with my mom, and I would want that with a daughter as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-75643 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:18:41 +0000 lilteacherbee 75643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I really want a girl. I'm a girly girl and I would love to do all those fun things with my daughter. But if she's a tomboy, I'd still love to have that close mother-daughter relationship with her.</p> <p>I also want a son though. One reason is because of my relationship with DH's mom. A lot of MIL's are portrayed as overbearing and annoying, but mine is a wonderful woman! I love her so much (I'm closer to her than my mom, though of course I love my mom as well) and I hope to have a daughter in law myself one day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-75632 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:15:18 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 75632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't feel strongly about having a girl. I'd be perfectly happy having all boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hope-to-have-at-least-1-girl#post-75626 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:13:14 +0000 mrskc 75626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really want to have a girl.

Is this how you feel or would you like to have all boys? </p>
