At this point, I'd rather just have another girl. We've already got SO many girl things and, since we don't plan on having more than 3 kids, it would stink to have to buy all new clothes that we wouldn't get to reuse.
Girl because I already have two boys and I think another girl would balance out our family perfectly. Actually, and I know this is extremely flameful, but if I knew for sure I'd have another girl if I got pg. I would totally do it.

I really don't know. I'd love to have a girl because I've always wanted a girl. But now that I have a boy already I think ds would have so much fun with a little brother. At least I'll theoretically ebd up happy either way!
I honestly keep coming back to this poll and every time I am still unable to answer, LOL.
I REALLY don't care. I guess I will vote girl but it's the slightest leaning ever in that direction and only because it would save us lots of money with being able to recycle all of DD's clothes and bedding.
Oh I don't know! Two of the same sex would be fun for them growing up, and likely cost less as I could pass things down. But opposite sexes would be pretty great, too! I can't decide.

I hope this baby is a girl because there have been so many boys born to people I know lately. I think only one other couple I know is expecting a girl out of at least 10 kids that have arrived in the past year.

I think they weigh evenly for me.
Two of the same sex is a lot of fun. My boys have a built in playmate and I love that for them. I'm just greedy though and want two of each

Now that I have a boy I hope I only have boy(s). I love being a boy mama. Before I had him, I wouldn't have felt strongly either way.
ETA: there have been scientific publications that show women/men are more likely to prefer their same sex. Since more women drive the adoption process than men, more females are adopted than males.
I think this board has made me more fearful of having a little boy than I would be otherwise. Basically all the talk here about how they are constantly discussing and grabbing their privates. I don't know what I would do with that! But I am sure it is fine and you just deal with it, but it scares me.
Oh my god, this is so true of my boys. And the potty humor! Ugh! Lol
Do 3-4 yo girls think potty humor is hilarious too?

If I only had 1 or 2 kids I'd want just girls. After DD2, I have wanted boys. I definitely want both...if I knew I'd have a boy, I'd have #5. I don't want an uneven number of girls so I doubt I'll have any more. I admit i get a touch sad when I hear the "boys love their Mamas" from boy moms because I'll never have that but 99% of the time I'm ok with it. I'm sure I'd feel a tinge of sadness if I just had boys or didn't get the "big family" I wanted. I grateful for what I have, I feel very lucky.
I do worry that with as tiny as DD is and our short genes it would be harder for a boy to be that small.
GAH! I didn't think of this. My metabolism sucks and everyone on my side is overweight. DH is 6'3" and between us a poor girl wouldn't stand a chance at being petite.
This is our third and last. We have 2 boys, and we actively tried for a girl this time. That said, my boys are so awesome that I would be thrilled to have another. I will in no way be disappointed if this baby is boy.
