Do you worry about only having one gender?

    Yeah, I do. My husband is an amazing father to a daughter, but I know he'd be sad to never have a son. I would too. I really want to be done after one more, but I know he'll want to try again if we have a girl. And then we'll keep doing that until we have 6? Yeah, right.

    I would have been downright heartbroken to never have a daughter, though, so I'm glad I had one first. But I'd love to have a little boy, especially for my husband's sake.

    I do. My generation in my family is completely female!! Myself, 2 sisters, 3 step sisters and 3 female cousins!

    I hope that trend isn't passed on to me, I really want a boy lol

    Selfishly I would want one of each, but I think there is something to be said for same sex siblings. They seem to be closer (in general) than mixed-sex. I have 3 sisters and have a really special bond still with all 3 of them!

    No. I wanted a boy, and was actually a little disappointed when we found out we were having a girl. I feel like a total piece of crap about that, bc I am so in love with that little girl, it's crazy! So now I fully understand that we have no idea what's best for us, and it's a good thing that we dont have any say in things like that! So now I am excited about either one bc I know what a joy girls are, so the more the merrier, and if we're blessed with a boy, that will be awesome too:)

    We want 3 kids and to have one of each gender at least. So far we have a boy, if we ended up with 3 boys we *might* try for a 4th, but if we get another boy we are done and we have talked about how happy we will be with our 4 boys. Haha. At least they will always have someone to play with!

    I do want a girl someday but if it's not in the cards it's not in the cards.

    We always wanted one of each, but I was terrified of having 2 girls. I have 2 sisters and a brother and I always had a better relationship with my brother versus my sisters.

    When we got pregnant the first time we found out we were having a boy, we were both thrilled!! Then when I found out I was pregnant the second time, I just knew it was a girl.

    We are lucky in the sense we got what we wanted, in the order we wanted. I really would have struggled initially having 2 girls but I think I would have been ok with 2 boys.

    If we had of had 2 of the same gender we would not try for a third in order to 'get a Boy/ girl'. We always wanted 2 kids, regardless of gender.

    @Mrs. Pen: I feel the same way!

    I would love two boys, but if I had three...i would be sad. And might want to go for a 4th (but if I had 4 boys...I'm tired just thinking about it!).

    I am so worried about this. I've always imagined having one of each. I'm about 95% sure I don't want more than 2 kids. I'm so worried that I'll be disappointed if #2 is a boy.

    Not really. I really really wanted a girl and got her, and I would love for her to have the kind of relationship I have with my sisters if we have another girl. But I wouldn't be disappointed if we had a boy either.

    I'm actually kind of hoping the next one is a boy so it'll be easier to convince DH to have 1 more. If we get 3 boys though I give up!

    I completely misread the title/intention of this thread and thought, "No, I'm a boy, and I'm fine with that".
