I'd be sad (initially) with 2 boys and no girl... but I think I'd be perfectly happy with 2 daughters :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each/page/2#post-415399 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:18:38 +0000 Mrs. Blue 415399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want at least one of each, but I'm not willing to take my chances on getting pregnant again and ending up with three boys! We're planning on adopting a little girl eventually and calling our family done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each/page/2#post-415300 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 15:31:31 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 415300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We want 4 but I told DH that if they are all boys then we will need to think about adopting a girl. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each/page/2#post-415294 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 15:27:56 +0000 mlm2934 415294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a major fear of mine! My hubs' dad has 6 siblings, and 4 of 6 had either two boys or two girls. And of his 5 cousins that have more than one child, all had two of the same! it's not like that on my side, but I'm still convinced i'll have two sons since I want a girl so badly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-395451 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 15:02:14 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 395451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've got two girls. I think the bond between sisters is amazing... but we would have been thrilled with a girl and a boy as well. If we were to have a 3rd (which we aren't planning on), I'd love to have a boy just to have the experience (and use our great boy name). Really, healthy kids is the most important thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-395410 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:43:00 +0000 blackbird 395410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know my husband has worries about this. We are having a girl and he only wants two kids, while I want three. If we have two girls, we'll definitely have a third and shoot for a boy. But if we have three girls...I know it'll bother him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-395332 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:17:35 +0000 BSB 395332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any kids so maybe this will change when I have my first.</p> <p>I do want one of each but I know that I don't want more than 3 kids.</p> <p>I guess I would be a little disappointed if I had no girls. I grew up with 2 sisters and a brother. While the DH has one brother, I've noticed some differences in families with just boys. Maybe I would consider adopting my third child.. a girl of course. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-395320 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:13:23 +0000 banana 395320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After we had our son, we didn't care what the 2nd was because of the reasons everyone else already listed. If we had another boy, my son could have a brother to play with and be close to. If we had a girl, we would have one of each and I would be able to have that special mother/daughter bond that my mom and I have. We really didn't care either way. When we found out #2 was a girl, we were actually alot happier than I thought we would be. I guess deep down inside, I really DID want a girl afterall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-395303 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:08:27 +0000 rachiecakes 395303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH has an older brother (4 years older) that's a total dirtbag, like horrendous human being, they don't speak. I know if we were to have #2 and it was another boy DH would be nervous.<br /> I would love love love to have a daughter to share mother-daughter things with, but DS is so perfect, he truly completes me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-395259 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 13:55:34 +0000 ValentineMommy 395259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, big time. We're having a DS as our first, and I'm terrified of having an all boy family. I really want a girl sometime! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358803 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:30:40 +0000 LAGS 358803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want three but before even knowing the sex of baby #1 we were scared we'd have all girls. Now that I have my little girl, I wouldn't be heartbroken if the rest were all girls... but I would truly love a boy or two! DH wants to try for #4 if we had 3 girls first, I'm not so sure I'd care that much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358745 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 14:57:18 +0000 lovehoneybee 358745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm torn. </p> <p>On one hand, I think 2 boys would be fun. I'd be the only girl in the house (save our cats), and DH has a great relationship with both of his brothers. </p> <p>On the other hand, whenever I picture having another baby it's always a girl, and DS taking the role of the over-protective older brother. And tutus and headbands and fun tights and tea parties and (hopefully) having a relationship with her that I didn't have with my mom.</p> <p>On the other other hand, if we had a girl she'd be super spoiled and super protected...she'd be the first girl born into DH's family in over 75 years. Lots of male cousins and uncles. So maybe I should just hope for another boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358684 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 14:26:22 +0000 JennyPenny 358684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been thinking we want 4 - ideally 2 of each. The one scenario I totally dread is ending up with 3 boys and having to make that decision. Do we go for our original number and maybe get a girl, but also risk having 4 little boys in the house - ack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358615 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 14:07:45 +0000 loveisstrange 358615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want one of each, but we'd be happy with a second daughter. Somehow, I have a sneaking suspicion we will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358578 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:55:35 +0000 prettylizy 358578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that I have a daughter, I sort of hope our second is a girl too. My sister and I are 22 months apart and SUPER close, I hope Prettybaby can have that some day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358568 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:50:27 +0000 Adira 358568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It used to be my biggest fear to have two boys. I was so scared I would end up like my grandmother, who had FIVE boys before she finally had a girl, thought her luck had changed, and then had two more boys! Now that I'm pregnant with a boy, I'm slightly worried that I'll end up with two boys, but I no longer am afraid of it! Plus I have two boy names I like, and I think it could be fun to raise brothers. I only know what it's like to have an opposite-gender sibling, so it could be interesting to see what my kids lives are like if they are the same gender. AND I could make them share a room longer, which would be nice, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358546 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:45:28 +0000 PurplePumps 358546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really want a boy first, and I think I would prefer two boys over two girls if they had to be the same. My husband feels the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358526 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:42:23 +0000 wheres_c 358526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really really really want a girl.<br /> Right now Im pg with a boy. I love him already, but I really want a mother/daughter relationship like I had with my mom.<br /> Hopefully #2 will be a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358490 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:30:18 +0000 chopsuey 358490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted just girls, but I"M SO EXCITED AND HAPPY that we're going to have one of each now! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358484 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:28:07 +0000 alayaya 358484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love one of each. My family generally has a girl first and then a boy. (my sister, brother, parents, aunts and uncles all had a girl first and the a boy). Weird right?</p> <p>I would be okay with 2 girls as well, but I would be kind of sad if we had only boys. I've always wanted a daughter </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358466 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:23:29 +0000 heffalump 358466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As much as I want one of each, I'm so excited by the thought of a baby that in the end I couldn't care less if its' boys or girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358450 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:18:12 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 358450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am totally okay with having all girls or girls and boys mixed. I feel once you're in the situation, you don't know anything different so you're totally happy and content either way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358430 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:09:21 +0000 hilsy85 358430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a huge fear of mine! I really don't know what I would do with 3 boys, lol. So I really hope that baby 2 is a girl so we can get that taken care of, and then if we have a third there's no pressure either way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358300 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:28:15 +0000 dagret 358300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will take what I can get, but i would really love to have a daughter someday. DH is 1 of 3 boys and i think my MIL, while she loves her boys, kind of wishes she had a girl of her own. Ultimately, we would like 3 kids. We're only baking #1 now though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358276 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:21:42 +0000 T.H.O.U. 358276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont' know, I mean it would be fun to have one of each, but I'm not sure I would miss out on having a boy. I think I would be totally fine having two girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358181 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:01:27 +0000 Alivoo01 358181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want one of each, but if we have 2 of the same sex, we've currently agreed to try for a 3rd. However, that's it! After our mc, we're just happy with either sex! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358167 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:57:11 +0000 littlek 358167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would like one of both but if we end up having 2 boys I would still be very happy. All that matters to me is having healthy LOs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358146 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:51:11 +0000 Rock n Roll 358146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two girls. We plan on having one more kid and everyone thinks we are trying for a boy, but I would really be okay with all girls. I do think it would be fun to have a son, too, though. I guess it doesn't really matter to me that much whether I have sons or daughters as long as I have my kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-want-1-of-each#post-358138 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:49:28 +0000 HabesBabe 358138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would want one of each (we have a 3-month old girl now), but we would be ok w/ two girls. Sisters &amp; brothers have a different bond than a brother/sister combo, so it would work out either way. I would definitely not try for a third because I think having 3 girls would drive me nuts. </p>
