Hellobee Boards

My uncle - 7 girls. When the last girl was born he really wanted a boy but was relieved when it was a girl - he said he wouldn't know what to do with a boy at that point. He also grew up with 5 sisters.

Yep, I'm the oldest of 10 and there were 7 girls and 3 boys. There were 5 girls before there were any boys! And Farmer Man is the oldest of 9- 8 boys and 1 girl, with the girl smack dab in the middle. 4 boys, the girl, then 4 more boys.

@FarmWifeGina: You're both from really big families! That's cool!

Yes, quite a few ... And one family with five boys.

I am one of 5 girls. My mom thought she "cursed" us with the inability to have boys. I have a 2.5 year old boy with another on the way.

@babycanuck: LOL, I guess. It was what it was. Obviously, with that many kids there's going to be more than 3 of each gender, but with both our families, it would have been all boys or all girls if they'd stopped at 3 or 4.

Well, I'm #4 out of 5 girls. my dad always said he loved having girls, but he was over the moon when his first grandson was born!

A good friend of mine has four boys; they are all super sweet.

I have three older brothers (one set of twins). My mom told me that her and my dad were going to keep having babies until they had a girl. And DH is one of three boys.

A friend of my mom's had 6 girls. They kept trying for a boy.

DH has seven sisters. So did my FIL. BIL has four girls and one boy.
The odds are not in DDs favor that she'll have a little brother.

Growing up I knew several families with 4 girls and one family with 3 boys.

Our friends are still on their first or second babies. And I don't think I know anyone who wants more than 2 kids , other than SIL (but she lives in a lower cost of living area and they can live well with lots of kids on BIL's income).
ETA Two of DH's friends have 3 girls and 4 girls but the one with 4 girls has shared custody with an ex so he isn't always overrun by little women. And the one with 3 girls lives in a lower cost of living area as well.

We have several friends who have 3-5 boys. I don't know any with more than 2 girls.

@shinymama: that's an awesome story

My step mother had 6 children - four boys, a girl, and then a final boy. All home births, all OVER 10 pounds. And this woman says that she wishes she could have had more! She is amazing.

I have three boys but I also got my girl!

Yep, our good family friends had 2 girls, so they tried one more time for a boy, and got twin girls. He got snipped, they reversed it to try again for a boy, and got another girl. One last shot was finally a boy.

And both my parents families do, but they come from families of 7 kids, so there had to be 4 of one or the other

My parents had 3 girls. My dad was ecstatic because he always wanted girls. A family friend of ours had 3 boysv and from what I can remember, they loved it as well. I also work with who just had her 3rd boy and was Sorry bummed because they wanted a girl. She is thinking of trying for a 4th in hopes of a girl.

I'm one of three girls. I remember when my littlest sister was born that we were sure it was a boy, but we were surprised!

Yes, my friend has 5 boys, one step son, 4 biological.

My SIL had 3 boys, two of my cousins have 4 boys. A friend just had her third boy.

I know just one person with three girls.

A good friend has three adorable boys. She wants a girl so bad though so they'll keep going. She always wanted a big family!
