We hope to have 2, but I'd be okay with another girl OR a boy. I'd love K to have a brother, but won't be devastated if it doesn't happen.

So if we had, say, 3 boys that may help us make that decision to have that 4th child to try for a girl. If the 4th is also a boy though, we'd give up lol.

If we have another boy, we'll be thrilled, and then we might consider adopting a girl, we might stop at 3 or we might roll the dice on a biological #4. We think it would be fun to have at least one of each gender, but we love our boys enough to know we would love 3 or 4 boys just as much as any combo of boys and girls. lavender on "Would you continue to have children until you had at least one girl and one boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-continue-to-have-children-until-you-had-at-least-one-girl-and-one-boy/page/2#post-1541634 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 08:22:21 +0000 lavender 1541634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 3 is our max regardless of gender, we have two girls now and we are still adjusting to being a family of 4. petunia354 on "Would you continue to have children until you had at least one girl and one boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-continue-to-have-children-until-you-had-at-least-one-girl-and-one-boy/page/2#post-1541484 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 07:13:30 +0000 petunia354 1541484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Absolutely not! I can commit to carrying one more baby and as much as I would love a girl I would be thrilled with either sex!! In fact, I'd kind of love to see O with a little brother, teaching hmi all sorts of "boy" stuff. We are open to a adopting a third but that is so far in the future I can't even think about it right now, lol.

But 3 will be our max.

It's not important enough for me to be a reason to be pregnant again. wonderstruck on "Would you continue to have children until you had at least one girl and one boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-continue-to-have-children-until-you-had-at-least-one-girl-and-one-boy/page/2#post-1541383 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 03:28:56 +0000 wonderstruck 1541383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Although there is something in me that yearns for a daughter, if this baby is another boy we will still be done - 2 is our limit. I feel like it must be so much pressure for that finally born gender if your parents had a whole bunch of kids to get you! Like if they always wanted a boy, and they get a boy who doesn't want to play sports or whatever the dad is into, or if they always wanted a girl and when they get one she's an anti-princes tomboy, I hope that would be okay! It just feels like there would be so much pressure for them to fit into their parent's gender stereotypes and ideas of what a son/daughter will be.

I'm not even sure about #2!

Currently pregnant with #2 (a boy) and we already have a girl, but if baby was another girl that would have still been it for us. Many people asked us this question before we found out if #2 was a boy or girl. shopaholic on "Would you continue to have children until you had at least one girl and one boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-continue-to-have-children-until-you-had-at-least-one-girl-and-one-boy/page/2#post-1541347 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 00:28:43 +0000 shopaholic 1541347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope.

But 4 is my absolute limit! I'd ideally have 3. dojo on "Would you continue to have children until you had at least one girl and one boy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-continue-to-have-children-until-you-had-at-least-one-girl-and-one-boy/page/2#post-1342871 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 15:40:12 +0000 dojo 1342871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No - two is our max if we even get to #2. We have a little boy now and although I would love to have a girl in the future I think I will be happy no matter what.

I'd be totally fine with any assortment. I'm 100% on board with the prospect of three girls, too. Whatever happens, I'm game. Sex is not important enough to gamble our family's financial well being. We simply couldn't afford to "keep trying" for a son.

"Half a dozen" sounds like plenty. We want 4 MAYBE 5. So, I assume we will have at least 1 girl in there? If not, we'll stop. If I have all boys, i'll probably stop at 4 actually haha.

DH said he would be okay with 3 girls but I know I would have been sad if I never had a girl, so who knows how far I would have gone to have one!
