If you could choose...

[Cheesecake]

Inspired by the name thread.

Obviously, if I''d get pregnant I'd be super-dooper excited and wouldn't care whether it was a boy or a girl.

But if this was a magic world where I could just say yep, I'm pregnant now with a <insert sex> and it'd be true, I would so say girl!
(If we would decide to have more than one child, I'm not sure what I'd choose, but the first one, definitely girl!)

If it was a magical world like that, what sexe(s) would you choose and in which following order?

[littlemisschatty]

Girl. Definitely.

After having DS, I've learned what an absolute joy it is to have a little boy. So if I had power over it, I'd have one more boy, and then our third child would be a girl.

But of course, I will be thrilled either way. Just gimme a baby!!

[tarheels]

We really want all boys. (We're thinking 3-4.) Whether it works or not, idk, but we're following the Shettles method.

[countthestars]

I go back and forth! I guess I'd say girl but only because I "know" girls better so boys scare me a little. But I would obviously be totally fine with either

[thoseareradishes]

We'd like to have a girl. My parents have all grandsons, so it would be nice for them to have a granddaughter.

I feel like I feel more comfortable with girls, since I don't have brothers, so my initial response is girl. Honestly though, I have a nephew who is just such a total sweetie and if I could have a little boy just like him I think I could manage.

[HoneySpider]

We want one of each but if we only ended up with one, DH & I both want a girl.

I honestly can't say it matters. We're actually decidedly team green because we just don't want to know. :-)

My SIL is being a crazycakes lunatic about having a second boy and it just makes me really sad. I don't even want one second to be disappointed (or for anyone else to express their disappointment to me---my mom also cried when SIL found it was a 2nd boy...) so for those reasons we're just not finding out.

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to be disappointed when they hand you that little baby. :-)

Being team green is awesome! You won't regret it!

[HoneySpider]

It makes me upset when people get really mad/upset about the gender of their child. I don't think there's anything wrong with having a preference, but yeah, can't you just be happy with being able to have that child?

[HoneySpider]

I originally thought I would want to be team green but then I realized I am way too impatient for it. Plus DH wants to know and if he knows, there's no way I won't bug him to tell me

[ladygrey]

We'd like kids of both genders (2-3 total), but I would love to have a boy first (DH has no preference).

We're still undecided on finding out the gender; I'm a total planner and always thought I'd like to know ahead of time, but I keep hearing all these awesome stories about being team green!

[mswax]

We are using the shettles method to try for a girl. We already have 2 boys, and this will be our last baby.

That said, we are TTC#3 because we want another baby, not because we want a girl, and I have 2 amazing boys and would love to add another one to our family.

[winecheery]

I just want them to be healthy in every way...and I just want to get one already. I literally do not care. I work with kids, and could be thrilled with whatever.

[berbles]

I am completely neutral. I have a nephew so I feel like I kinda know how to deal with boys better right now, but I also have a 3 month old niece so I'll get my practice in with her

[kat]

I'm torn really. I would like a girl because we already have all the girl stuff, and would feel more prepared. However I would love to have a boy to be able to experience raising both.

I'd love to go team green this time but I am a planner and don't know if I would feel unprepared if we got a boy. I think I would sit there the whole time wondering and fretting. I would probably buy some boy stuff just in case, then exchange or just keep it and let the girl sport some boy stuff. I like to dress my daughter in some occasional boy pieces. Especially the band shirts and vintage logo t-shirts that do not come in girls. Also the cute pj's.

SO has no preference on gender and would be ok finding out early or waiting. He is no help

[thatgirl2478]

hard to say

the MMer in me says 'girl' because we can reuse so much clothing.

however, we have a girl so maybe boy next time? just to even it up you know?

[KaraOrNot]

H and I would both prefer a boy.

[jewel]

I'd love to have all boys, but would be perfectly happy with girls or a combo.
