I have a boy and am expecting another. Would I like a girl? Yes, frankly. But if I have a third, it will have to be because I want another *child* and not simply a girl. Because it's nothing more, nothing less than a coin flip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-or-more-of-the-same-sex-children#post-875578 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 21:38:32 +0000 yin 875578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're expecting another boy, and people have already started asking whether or not we will try for a third for that possibility of a girl. I am more than content with two. Fortune telling uncle has been crazy accurate with my pregnancies and genders. If he is correct, I'm supposed to have a third, and the third will be a girl. I don't care so much about gender. I just like having a family, and two boys actually makes me really happy.</p> <p>P.S. I am one of 5 girls. Needless to say my parents kept trying and trying for a boy. I don't want to end up with 5 boys. Imagine the chaos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-or-more-of-the-same-sex-children#post-875371 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 19:37:47 +0000 loveisstrange 875371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im hoping for another girl when we try again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-or-more-of-the-same-sex-children#post-875366 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 19:31:17 +0000 threeplusme 875366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I had my two boys I got that a lot. Now that I have a daughter people often say" now your done." We may be done but I get offended that people actually feel they should tell me I'm done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-or-more-of-the-same-sex-children#post-875357 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 19:26:01 +0000 GrapeCrush 875357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have 2(yet) but when I got pregnant with #2, everyone asked if we were going to try for a girl/third if #2 was another boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-or-more-of-the-same-sex-children#post-875255 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 18:22:26 +0000 lomom 875255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kinda hope we get 2 boys. I love my little man! I'd love a girl too. Since we only have one at the moment, we get the "when are you having more?" question instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-or-more-of-the-same-sex-children#post-875213 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 17:45:16 +0000 sorrycharlie 875213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha!

It's completely ludicrous!</p> <p>I actually wouldn't mind a boy next. Even though I eventually wish for a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-or-more-of-the-same-sex-children#post-875167 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 17:20:33 +0000 autumnlove 875167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I'm lonely on maternity leave so I chat up every Granny at the grocery store and Target! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-or-more-of-the-same-sex-children#post-875158 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 17:15:17 +0000 Andrea 875158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: yes, I thought you were going to stop being so friendly? :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-or-more-of-the-same-sex-children#post-875147 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 17:10:21 +0000 autumnlove 875147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I need to stop talking to strangers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-or-more-of-the-same-sex-children#post-875117 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 16:57:44 +0000 Andrea 875117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one has asked me yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-or-more-of-the-same-sex-children#post-875112 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 16:55:20 +0000 tysonja 875112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have a boy and another boy on the way, but we don't get asked that much because i think everyone knows we are aiming for 4 :) to be honest i really would like to have 2 girls, so we'll see what happens!! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-or-more-of-the-same-sex-children#post-875105 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 16:50:14 +0000 Mrs. Twine 875105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like getting that question.
