Once I had a girl I knew I wanted another girl. My poor H. He loves our daughter and will love our daughter-to-be but I know he would have loved a boy.
This will be more convenient and I hope they form a stronger sisterly bond. And I can reuse clothing.
then i had a girl, and wanted all girls because SISTERS!!
now we're having a boy and i'm actually really happy to get one of each lol.
basically, i can't make up my mind.
Yes me too, and also lol to the bolded.
I was always certain I wanted one girl for sure, (grew up with sisters, and have a close connection with my mom) but would've been happy with healthy boys (obviously).
When we had DD, right after having her, I thought I wanted another girl for the ease of it all, but then another part of me wanted to say I had one of each, so I really found I didn't "care" as much as I thought I did.
And now that I know for certain I will have one of each, I feel that this is exactly how my family was meant to be, and I already feel complete in my head. Very happy for both my strong, healthy babies, no matter what they are.
But yeah, I was indecisive there for a hot sec, ha.
For various reasons I wanted two girls; however my second is a boy. And he's wonderful I'm over the slight disappointment I felt when I found out I'd not be experiencing what I thought I wanted.

I have an 11 year old stepdaughter, so when I got Pg I wanted a boy so that in case he's our only, we'll have one of each. Now I would like to have another bio child, and I think I'd like a girl so that I'll have one each. But I'd be thrilled with either.
I was ambivalent but leaned toward wanting the opposite sex. When we found out baby #2 was a boy, H was ecstatic and I was much more excited than I anticipated. So, I think I wanted a boy more than I realized.
I desperately want hypothetical #3 to be a girl. I would love for DD to have a sister (I only have brothers, so I have romanticized the sister idea), and girl stuff is just more fun. I have convinced myself that baby is going to be a boy so that I'm not disappointed.
My preference for two of the same had only to do with our lack of bedrooms and not anything else. I was shocked when M was a boy. I love having one of each, although eventually I will have to do something about my house.
I wanted a second girl. I didn't have a sister and wanted to give that to dd1. They are also so close in age that in my mind they will be closer as same sex siblings. I have a brother and we are 11.5 months apart, we have never been close and that plays into my mentality a lot.
I had a preference for a girl with #2 but he's an awesome boy and the brother relationship is incredible. We have recently lost our minds and started to discuss a possible #3 and I honestly have no idea what I prefer. I think I would love having a daughter but a house full of boys would be amazing.

I wanted dd to have a sister. But when I got pregnant after ds I slightly preferred a boy since they'd be close in age. I kind of wanted same sex twins, but I'm having one of each. I'm happy having two of each.

I loved the idea of sisters, especially because I never had one. Seeing my mom with her two sisters always made me want one Dh on the other handed really really wanted a boy. I was hoping number 2 was a boy for Dh and i wanted to experience one of each. When we found out #2 was a girl, I was thrilled more than I realized. Dh was slightly Dissappointed. Now we love having two girls! Of course, most people love what they end up with
