Lately my husband and I have been talking about gender preference, i.e., whether we'd rather have a baby girl or a baby boy if we could choose. We usually end by saying that we'd be happy with a healthy baby of either gender, but we still talk about what we view as possible pros or cons.

I would love at least one of each... but sometimes I feel like I would definitely be sad if I could not have a girl, because then I would not have the opportunity for a mother/daughter relationship later in life (like what I have with my mom now).

For parents who already have kids, what do you like about having a girl vs. having a boy (or vice versa)? Or for those without kids yet, which do you want and why?
