I don't plan on being pregnant again, but if we save up the funds, we'd like to adopt a girl. If it never happens, I'm good with my 2 boys. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1784256 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 23:17:08 +0000 yin 1784256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm happy with my two boys. I don't think I can handle three kids, regardless of gender. </p> <p>My parents didn't feel like our family was complete with a son so they kept trying and ended up with 5 girls. :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1784245 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 22:44:35 +0000 stiletto_mom 1784245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boy: Only one.

I have always wanted the experience of raising both, so I have to admit I'll have a hard time if our second isn't the opposite sex. We'll see how it all plays out, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1783262 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 20:39:51 +0000 Sparkler 1783262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: Your personal experience made me remember this article, which says the opposite about 2 girl families.<br /> <a href="http://m.parenting.com/entry/view/id/24708" rel="nofollow">http://m.parenting.com/entry/view/id/24708</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1783246 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 20:21:17 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1783246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're debating between 2 and 3, and I think we might lean more towards trying for #3 if the first two were both girls. But, it might not have an impact at all - guess we'll just wait and see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1783235 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 20:10:01 +0000 Applesandbananas 1783235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1782929 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 12:01:52 +0000 pui 1782929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At least 3, maybe 4. Their genders doesn't really play in to how many kids I want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1782904 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 11:07:34 +0000 limabeanbabies 1782904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want to have a bigger family of 4 or 5. We'll see what actually happens, since number 2 is still just a bun in the oven. I hope to keep having kids until we feel like our family is complete, but I think I would be tempted to quit sooner if we had 3 or 4 girls in a row! I never got along well with my only sister, so I always thought it would be tough to mother girls. However, I love my little diva so far! I hope gender wouldn't sway me too much. But! I did have a dream last pregnancy of an adorable little boy, which made me sure my LO would be a boy. She obviously wasn't, but that dream makes me feel like we have at least one boy in our future! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1782872 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 10:32:20 +0000 Honeygold89 1782872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 I'm hoping for another boy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1782697 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 05:51:10 +0000 charmed 1782697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would probably be a 2 maybe 3 family no matter the gender. I would be more inclined to stop at 2 if they were all going to be boys though :silly: 3 boys seems like a handful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1782659 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 00:56:42 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1782659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2!

I want a girl so bad and having 3 boys terrifies me a little. ( My husband has 2 brothers and the stories of how crazy they were growing up is enough to make me stop at 2! We really want to adopt some day so hoping we will have a mix of boys and girls one way or the other! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1782619 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 23:20:34 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1782619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would still want 3-4 regardless of sex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1782604 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 22:59:25 +0000 winniebee 1782604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still want 3 basically it depends on whether I have another difficult pregnancy with this one. My husband is on the fence would be happy to stop at 2 but after we found out this one is another boy he said we could try for the third ;). Pretty sure I would have another boy though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1782602 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 22:58:00 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1782602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still 3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1782596 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 22:45:32 +0000 Espion 1782596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're still two and done, though if we had met when we were younger, I'd probably entertain the idea of three! Gender wouldn't matter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1782592 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 22:43:10 +0000 reverie 1782592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to think I wanted three no matter what and my husband always wanted two. After going through the first 13 months with one (who is a GOOD/easy baby) I can't possibly imagine doing three. So if we are lucky enough to have a number two when we want whatever gender it is, is it! I used to think I would be sad if I didn't have the chance to have a daughter, but of course after having my son for 13 months I can't imagine caring what gender number two is :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1782586 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 22:12:20 +0000 travelgirl1 1782586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would have the same amount. We just had a boy born into our family after NINE girls. If we kept going for a boy, we could be trying a looong time :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1782257 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 16:29:31 +0000 Sapphiresun 1782257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're basing our decision to have one or two off our ideas of what we can reasonably afford and the energy we feel like we have to expend. We already have a girl though, and the idea of three potential teenage girls in one house seems awfully daunting. But so does 3 busy boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1782223 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 16:15:04 +0000 clover 1782223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will be two and through no matter what the sex, I'd love a third as well but DH is pretty set. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1782207 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 16:08:02 +0000 Kimberlybee 1782207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it were my choice, I would love to have 3 kids regardless of the sex but we had a late start due to IF issues. 2 kids will be our magic number now.

I've agreed to one pregnancy. I would like the experience to raise both boys and girls, but sex is a very, very small component of the decision to have more than one child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1782178 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 15:56:44 +0000 snickers 1782178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want 3 kids, DH wants 2. We have a boy so we have agreed if our next child is a girl that will prob be it but if we have another boy we may go for #3. I would love a girl but at the same time wouldn't mind just being a mum to boys :)</p> <p>I am the middle of 3 girls and love it! I am very close to both sisters :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-knew-all-of-your-children-would-be-the-same-sex/page/2#post-1782168 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 15:48:25 +0000 leelee 1782168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 2 girls and would absolutely have a 3 knowing it'll be a girl.
