For number 2 I secretly want a girl more because I feel like I will miss the idea of playing barbies and all that but two boys would be so cute too. We will see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first/page/2#post-808412 Fri, 24 May 2013 22:54:22 +0000 yerpie110 808412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted a boy first because DH and I both come from boy first, girl second families, and I think ever girl should get to experience having a great older brother. But our first is our girl and I couldnt be happier! Now I think everyone should just get to experience having a great older sibling (clearly I am the youngest), and I'm sure LO will be just that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first/page/2#post-808395 Fri, 24 May 2013 22:35:55 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 808395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of want a boy first because we have an amazing boy name that our family will love. But I really want a girl.... so I don't know!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first/page/2#post-808389 Fri, 24 May 2013 22:32:27 +0000 photojane 808389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really wanted a boy first since I had older brothers, and they were super protective of me. I thought it would be sweet for our daughter to have an older brother. But, I knew almost immediately that I was having a girl. Now I'm really glad we had our girl first -- she can be our little princess for a while! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-808387 Fri, 24 May 2013 22:30:17 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 808387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just wanted healthy, but were thrilled to have a girl first (and second)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-808384 Fri, 24 May 2013 22:28:00 +0000 Sapphiresun 808384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of feel/felt like I'd be a better boy mom than girl mom, but no real preference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-805677 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:53:17 +0000 Pepper 805677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH really wanted a boy, and I didn't care as much, though I had a slight preference for a boy. Our son is due beginning of July! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-805606 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:43:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 805606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wants a boy, I really don't care. But, I, and practically everyone I know, feel pretty strongly that it's a boy anyway. I just feel like I'm going to be the mom of all boys. </p> <p>I'll find out if everyone is right or not at the end of July-ish. We really will be shocked if it's a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-805383 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:56:48 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 805383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wanted a boy but got a girl, so the pressures on for #2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-805374 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:54:50 +0000 78h2o 805374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both wanted a girl and that's what we got! If we have another, we'd be happy with either. For some reason we both really wanted at least one girl. I'd love to have a son, but I have a great relationship with my sister, so I'd sort of like to have another girl so LO would have a sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-805332 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:45:45 +0000 NovBaby1112 805332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was secretly hoping or a girl and got her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-805316 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:43:33 +0000 petunia354 805316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate to admit this but I wanted a girl. We ended up with a boy and I couldn't be more in love!! Boys are sooo sweet!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-805261 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:34:03 +0000 tinyperson 805261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted a girl, and had a girl, but really thought we would have a boy -- all our friends had a boy first and/or had all boys, so I just kind of assumed boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-805244 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:30:53 +0000 Espion 805244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't care either way, but DH was so convinced that we're having a girl that he wouldn't even discuss boy names. Then the OB mislead us on an early ultrasound, we announced to the world we were having a girl, and on the anatomy ultrasound found out we were really having a boy! </p> <p>It was actually kind of awesome. Like being excited for both without it being twins. :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-805233 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:28:19 +0000 dolphin 805233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girl!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-805231 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:28:01 +0000 heffalump 805231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girl, which is what I have :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-805225 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:27:08 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 805225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'd like a boy first.

I was in shock when the ultrasound tech told us girl and now i'm so excited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-805159 Thu, 23 May 2013 18:15:39 +0000 JessKas 805159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH really wants a girl.

FI wants a girl, or originally did. I think he still kind of does. He wants to be wrapped around her little finger and i have to admit that will be cute. I'm going to be happy either way but im def on the fence now! got a long 10 weeks til we find out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-804881 Thu, 23 May 2013 17:24:48 +0000 loveisstrange 804881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girl.

We loved the idea of having a son first, to always be the big brother, but we both knew that we really wanted a girl at some stage so if we had a girl first, the pressure would be off as we'd have our little girl.</p> <p>We were TG, thought we were having a boy, but it was a girl! Hoping for another girl next time and maybe a boy for the third. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-804788 Thu, 23 May 2013 17:09:41 +0000 Bao 804788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really wanted a girl and got a girl, next time I want a boy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-did-you-hope-for-first#post-804778 Thu, 23 May 2013 17:08:29 +0000 lovehoneybee 804778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A girl.
