If we have 2 boys we are DEFINITELY going for a third. But even if we have a girl, next I think we will probably go for a third anyway! We just want 3 kids...but I really really hope one of the next two is a girl!

I'm sure I would have a bit of a preference, but that wouldn't be why we had a third.

Hopefully, our second one is a girl, but if we get two boys, then we'd try for a 3rd hoping for a girl, but that's it! mynoahbear on "If you have/get two of the same gender, would you try again to get the opposite gender?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-haveget-two-of-the-same-gender-would-you-try-again-to-get-the-opposite-gender#post-914652 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 08:08:09 +0000 mynoahbear 914652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, we're done after this one. I know someone who already has a boy and just found out she's 5 months pregnant with another boy. She's already planning on trying for her third in hopes of a girl.

I'll keep the option of a 3rd on the table, but right now I think 2 is our max.

But most of us were surprises. :) No planning involved! I honestly would have been happy with whatever we got. We were very lucky to get one girl and one boy, but if that was changed, I don't think it would affect our family plans. kml636 on "If you have/get two of the same gender, would you try again to get the opposite gender?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-haveget-two-of-the-same-gender-would-you-try-again-to-get-the-opposite-gender#post-914633 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 08:04:26 +0000 kml636 914633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I am so glad I got my girl first! If I had two boys, I would definitely "try" for a girl. autumnlove on "If you have/get two of the same gender, would you try again to get the opposite gender?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-haveget-two-of-the-same-gender-would-you-try-again-to-get-the-opposite-gender#post-914625 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 08:02:03 +0000 autumnlove 914625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I want 3 kids. A boy would be great! mamabolt on "If you have/get two of the same gender, would you try again to get the opposite gender?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-haveget-two-of-the-same-gender-would-you-try-again-to-get-the-opposite-gender#post-914624 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 08:01:58 +0000 mamabolt 914624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm not sure! If you had asked me six months ago, I would have said no way was I having more than two ever, and DH was thinking if number two was another girl we should definitely try for a boy. Now that LO is getting older and is so much fun, I think both of us are strongly considering a third, but we'll see what time brings!

They decided to not take a chance on trying again for a girl. We have two girls. If I wasn't the age that I am, I might consider going for a boy... But I'd be fine if we had a third girl as well. I grew up in a family of three girls and it wasnt too crazy! (or if it was, I don't remember).

I think there is something to be said for the bond between brothers and the bond between sisters. Everyone seems to think it's preferable to have a boy and a girl, but if LO #1 is a boy, I hope #2 is too (or vice versa for a girl!).

I would consider trying for a third. loveisstrange on "If you have/get two of the same gender, would you try again to get the opposite gender?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-haveget-two-of-the-same-gender-would-you-try-again-to-get-the-opposite-gender#post-914595 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 07:50:19 +0000 loveisstrange 914595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No way. 2 is our MAX. regberadaisy on "If you have/get two of the same gender, would you try again to get the opposite gender?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-haveget-two-of-the-same-gender-would-you-try-again-to-get-the-opposite-gender#post-914594 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 07:50:01 +0000 regberadaisy 914594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes. The main reason being we're the last ones in DH's side to have kids and there has not been a single boy yet. So I would want to at least try one more time for a boy so the line does not die with our generation. Maybe his family can pool a donation for kid #3? It's for a good cause!!! hahah Chillybear on "If you have/get two of the same gender, would you try again to get the opposite gender?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-haveget-two-of-the-same-gender-would-you-try-again-to-get-the-opposite-gender#post-914592 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 07:48:04 +0000 Chillybear 914592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ This was kind of my theory. I think I want 3 kids (lets see what happens after i give birth). Were expecting a girl now but i would love to experience being both a girl mom and a boy mom and i think hubs would do great with a boy (he's definitely a mans man). I wouldnt be afraid of having 3 girls though but my husband might. I always wanted a sister (i have a younger brother) and i see how great my husband and his brother get along esp now that we're all adults. so i wouldnt mind a 2-1 split either Dandelion on "If you have/get two of the same gender, would you try again to get the opposite gender?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-haveget-two-of-the-same-gender-would-you-try-again-to-get-the-opposite-gender#post-914586 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 07:44:03 +0000 Dandelion 914586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I wouldn't mind 3 kids...but it wouldn't have anything to do with gender. heffalump on "If you have/get two of the same gender, would you try again to get the opposite gender?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-haveget-two-of-the-same-gender-would-you-try-again-to-get-the-opposite-gender#post-914580 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 07:42:12 +0000 heffalump 914580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My friend recently told me that if she has two boys (she already has one) then they are NOT going to try for a 3rd kid. She's too scared she'll end up with 3 boys. If she has a boy and a girl they might try for a 3rd. I thought that was interesting because I feel like most people would keep trying to see if they get what they want. I would love 3 kids no matter what, but we can't really afford that right now. DH says that he wants to stop at two even if we have two girls, unless of course we randomly get rich. Then we can have another.
