So I'm torn!

I want one more and kinda would want a boy again as Id love for DS to have a brother to pal around with Dandelion on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-911313 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 17:53:52 +0000 Dandelion 911313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have a boy, lost a girl. I have a ton of girl stuff still, so it would be nice to have a girl again, but I don't have any preference. I do feel like I *had* my girl, even though she's not here. yin on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-911306 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 17:50:03 +0000 yin 911306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have a boy and have another on the way. I've always preferred having a boy over a girl (possibly the result of being one of five girls in my family), and I think it will be awesome raising two boys together. Hope they end up being great friends too. But... I secretly get jealous every time I see a baby girl. They're just so adorable and have the best clothes.

I think I'd love for DS to have a brother to play with. Which means I'd be fine with #3 being a girl because I'd like to experience both.. Butttt DH doesn't even want to talk about #2 yet, and I think he's firmly in camp "no more than 2" for now, so we'll see! lemondrop on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-911295 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 17:45:16 +0000 lemondrop 911295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, I'd love to have another boy! I want C to have a brother to wrestle with :) MrsTiz on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-911262 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 17:16:24 +0000 MrsTiz 911262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Now that I'm having a boy I hope the next one is a boy as well. I always wanted doubles so I guess it would be double boys :) MrsMccarthy on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-911259 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 17:12:15 +0000 MrsMccarthy 911259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would love to experience a girl because like a classic Gemini I am very into both boyish and girlish things. I'd love to play barbies and princess and enjoy the bond of girlhood and womanhood with a baby girl. But I wanted a son a bit more going in to enjoy my masculine side with most of all, I got him and if my next is another boy I will be thrilled too. I love em all. Plus I got a sister so I got to play barbies and princess in my own childhood at least. As well as boyish games!!! shellio on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-793371 Sat, 18 May 2013 20:24:00 +0000 shellio 793371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have a little boy, expecting #2, and I really want another boy. Partly because I already have a boy, and I can reuse all the clothes :) and I already kind of feel like I know what to do with a boy. But the other reason is that DH really wants a girl, and also would prefer to have just 2 kids. I, on the other hand, want 3-4 so if we have a boy, he will be more enthusiastic about at least one more! On the 2 girl or same gender front - I LOVE having a sister, we are so close. heffalump on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-793347 Sat, 18 May 2013 19:55:27 +0000 heffalump 793347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I really don't care. I always wanted a girl, and I have one. So next one can be boy or girl.

I wouldnt be upset with a boy, since we already have a girl.... but I want daughters. matador84 on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-793299 Sat, 18 May 2013 19:15:58 +0000 matador84 793299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think I would love another boy next and a girl after!

But I think I would like a boy next. I think DH would love a boy to carry on the family name. DH is so adorable with R, it makes me want another girl at the same time.

We're now deciding if we want a third (planned to but I don't know now) and if we do we're both kinda hoping for a 3rd boy.

On the one hand, I think 2 boys 13 months apart would be destined to have a strong bond. On the other hand, I'd love a little girl!!! Plus if I have a girl she can marry @turtledoves sweet boy haha. He's just so cute :) autumnlove on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-793269 Sat, 18 May 2013 18:43:11 +0000 autumnlove 793269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have two girls and we would love a boy! blackbird on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-793261 Sat, 18 May 2013 18:40:00 +0000 blackbird 793261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a girl and would love a boy next! But I would also be psyched for E to have a sister....and then there's no pressure for #3! hilsy85 on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-793256 Sat, 18 May 2013 18:35:49 +0000 hilsy85 793256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a boy, and I would love for #2 to be a boy as well! I do want one girl though, so then #3 would have to be a girl...not that it's something I could control! So if we have a girl next, i'd be happy with that too. SAHM0811 on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-793252 Sat, 18 May 2013 18:33:08 +0000 SAHM0811 793252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have two girls and are so happy. Watching their sisterhood grow is so amazing. I also love that we are using so many hand-me-downs... But we wouldn't mind a boy or girl for #3. Three girls would be so fun, but a boy would probably better balance out our family. My eldest has also said she wants a brother. A boy would also carry on DH's family name, hopefully. lamariniere on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-793211 Sat, 18 May 2013 17:25:24 +0000 lamariniere 793211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a boy and are expecting #2. We are hoping for a girl. DH is one of three boys and I have a brother too. One of DH's brothers has one boy with one more boy on the way. I feel like we are the last hope for a girl on his side of the family. ;-) birdofafeather on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-793202 Sat, 18 May 2013 17:12:03 +0000 birdofafeather 793202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a girl and we'd love a boy at some point, but we also plan on 3 kiddos so hopefully one of the next two will be a boy!

Maybe because that's what I'm used to? I will be happy with healthy :) Kemma on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-793196 Sat, 18 May 2013 17:06:58 +0000 Kemma 793196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a wee girl who's seven months old and whilst I'd love for her to have the sister I never had, I think having a little dude would be awesome! If I'm perfectly honest I think I'd have been disappointed if I only had boys but I have my girl so I'd be good with boys from here on out :-) MarieJ on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-793195 Sat, 18 May 2013 17:06:14 +0000 MarieJ 793195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We want one of each, but I'm not opposed to having another girl!. My mom had all girls and we are so close!

I find they tend to be closer, especially in adulthood. If LO is a girl I hope to give her a sister...I don't know where Id be without mine! googly-eyes on "do you want the opposite gender next time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-the-opposite-gender-next-time#post-793172 Sat, 18 May 2013 16:41:52 +0000 googly-eyes 793172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't really care! After my first lo another girl would be nice, so they could relate to each other more, but either would be fine.

Especially since I have a boy; it'd be nice for them. We plan on about 4 so, I'm assuming there will be boys and girls in there! & hey if not, oh well. But, my world would be like ...ideal if the next were a girl. Boy, girl....so then I wouldn't be worried for #3 & 4 because I'd already have one of each.
