I think #3 being a girl definitely plays into more of being the "baby" of the family and her big brother protecting her. My brother did great as the only boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girlwhat-do-you-prefer-for-your-3rd-baby#post-2386457 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 12:43:43 +0000 sampron 2386457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else? 😀 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girlwhat-do-you-prefer-for-your-3rd-baby#post-2385233 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 06:58:51 +0000 sampron 2385233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girlwhat-do-you-prefer-for-your-3rd-baby#post-2384795 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 19:37:54 +0000 sampron 2384795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginger333: that's good!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girlwhat-do-you-prefer-for-your-3rd-baby#post-2376241 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 21:29:07 +0000 sampron 2376241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for voting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girlwhat-do-you-prefer-for-your-3rd-baby#post-2375321 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 09:51:08 +0000 Alivoo01 2375321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a lil boy and am currently pregnant with DD. We've discussed #3 and while I didn't care before/thought about being Team Green, the further along I get with #2, the more I'm kind of leaning towards boy. I'm a tomboy. DS and I get a long great right now. Guess I should wait and see once DD gets here to really decide! But since I have one of each already, the 3rd really doesn't matter. #2 was a bit more of a push for a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girlwhat-do-you-prefer-for-your-3rd-baby#post-2375248 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 08:55:24 +0000 travelgirl1 2375248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I would like my daughter to have a sister (I have three and love the sister bond) but really I would be happy with either.

We had another boy and honestly, he's pretty fantastic and I'm glad my middle son has a little side kick to play with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girlwhat-do-you-prefer-for-your-3rd-baby#post-2374717 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 17:38:16 +0000 sampron 2374717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Having a boy will be easier as I have all of DS clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girlwhat-do-you-prefer-for-your-3rd-baby#post-2374356 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 13:04:32 +0000 yellowbird 2374356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would prefer another boy but mainly because he would be closer in age to Ds and my son is super laid back and my daughter was really high strung and difficult!

My son is definitely harder so far but that doesn't have anything to do with it. I feel like I'm pretty girly so I tend to like the more girly things along with my daughter. I don't do sports and boy stuff, so it's been hard for me with a boy and we're just getting started haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girlwhat-do-you-prefer-for-your-3rd-baby#post-2373849 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 00:41:13 +0000 mrskc 2373849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would want another girl. oldest is a boy and younger is girl. My thoughts for a third to be a girl, so the girls would be closer in age and hopefully closer growing up. Plus, I saved all the baby girl clothes. But I would be super excited to have another boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girlwhat-do-you-prefer-for-your-3rd-baby#post-2373841 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 00:16:55 +0000 Truth Bombs 2373841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would truly have no preference.

I'm more excited about the girls name we have picked out for when we have another baby than the boys name. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girlwhat-do-you-prefer-for-your-3rd-baby#post-2373825 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 23:50:12 +0000 iheartleopardprint 2373825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lov2teach: I am surprised by the amount of people preferring another girl too!! My son is definitely my 'easier' child, so I don't understand the preference at all! </p> <p>@californiadreams: Our decision to have any child isn't based on gender, it's because we wanted that other child and our family didn't yet feel complete. Already having one of each doesn't close that door for me, if that makes sense?</p> <p> I know a lot of people IRL with two of the same gender who are going for a third to get what they don't have. But I also know a lot people who have one of each and feel content with that. Family dynamics can vary so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girlwhat-do-you-prefer-for-your-3rd-baby#post-2373802 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 23:20:53 +0000 californiadreams 2373802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will have 2 boys. If I had one of each I would not have much preference for the third except maybe for kid #2 and 3 to be the same gender so they have a same sex sibling closer in age. But really if I had one of each, I would not consider having a third! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girlwhat-do-you-prefer-for-your-3rd-baby#post-2373771 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 22:30:39 +0000 lov2teach 2373771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, must ask why do so many prefer a girl, especially when you already have one of each? Are little boys that bad? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girlwhat-do-you-prefer-for-your-3rd-baby#post-2373705 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 21:11:23 +0000 MamaBehr 2373705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a girl, boy, boy (and soon to be another boy).
