Hellobee Boards

I agree Girl. Even though we want 2, I am happy we had a girl firs.t

A girl but I know my DH would want a boy.

@chopsuey119: Haha. You are so funny!

Gosh, I honestly am not sure. My gut tells me that I’d want to have a daughter but now that we’re having a boy I’m so attached to wanting a boy! I know that my husband would say boy without even hesitating and that makes me lean toward boy too for his sake.

We're only planning on having this one, and we're hoping for a girl. If for no other reason than there hasn't been a girl born into DH's family in 75 years, and this baby is the last chance this generation has of having a girl.

I would say girl, but only because we already have our daughter, and if I was only going to have one kid, it would be her!

I would have to say boy!

Whatever the good Lord gave me. It wouldn't make a difference to me!

I love my son so much I can't imagine having any other kid other than him.
Maybe we'll have a sibling for him some day but if all we ever had was DS, I'd be more than happy.

Asked me a year ago? I would have said girl.
But ask me today, it's a boy all the way. Probably because I have a baby boy and i love him to death and cannot imagine anything different. He is the sweetest thing. Also, everyone told me (who has raised both girls/boys) that boys are easier too, busier and louder normally, but easier in the emotional/mental sense.

However, you have point about how often boys grow up and do their own thing. it is really sad. My brother lives 6 hours from my mom and doesn't talk to her much. When he's home, he hangs with the guys and my dad.
Whereas us girls are hanging out with my mom allll the time, we talk alll the time. We are best friends.
So in that sense, I would love a girl, cause I want her to be my friend too.

but since I already have a boy I said boy

@chopsuey119: I agree--you lose your son when he gets married (and you probably prefer him to get married and not be at home at 40). I want a girl because of the relationship I imagine we'll have when she's an adult.
I'm not concerned with a boy or girl being "harder to raise."

AND... I have a boy. DH just said "now we just need to have a girl and we're done!"

I voted for girl because girls seem to be more mature and are more helpful, even at a young age! Which is great to know for when you're old and needing a little help.

Boys seem to less attached and helpful.

I have NO idea...I'm glad I won't be the one in charge of deciding that! I do agree with pps who said a son is a son until he gets married, but a daughter is always a daughter...sometimes I almost tear up thinking about how LO will eventually get married and leave us--and he's not even BORN yet!

Girl!

@chopsuey119: so true...a daughter is FOREVER!

A girl. I was beyond thrilled when the ultrasound showed LO was a girl Totally agree with @chopsuey119 that a daughter is forever

Boys are easier? WHAAATT? I love my son, but he's a wild man at heart. He is in the kicking and headbutting phase, where he's totally giving me the smackdown for not getting his breakfast to the table fast enough then he's cuddling me 10 minutes later.

I am personally the opposite of a daughter is forever. I moved to another continent while my brother just bought a house in the town where I grew up.

hmm i really cant choose, i love my son but would also love a daughter! Maybe im just in the minority but all the men in my life (hubby, brother) are all incrediably close to mothers and i have never thought/heard of losing a son once they get married, that makes me sad
