Boy? Girl? Or what combination if you're having multiples?

I am pregnant with #2, and I am sorta hoping it's another boy, as I have everything I need for another boy. However, as long as the baby is healthy... I'm happy!

What about you? :bigsmile:

    I already have a girl so for ease of having everything another girl, but my husband would like a boy so we have one of each. Same as you, as long as it is healthy I will be happy either way.

    Boy! My youngest is a boy so the nursery is decorated that way and I still have all his clothes. I don't have any of my girl stuff left, Plus, from my experience thus far, boys are way easier!

    But, I am not finding out the gender this time. I am looking forward to the surprise at delivery. I would be very happy with a girl though too. It would just make things easier if it was a boy.

    We are hoping for a girl. We have two sons, but Dad would love a little girl to get wrapped around her finger. Plus I am an avid seamstress and would love to make dresses. My boys are awesome and love wearing their Mom-Mades, but you can only make so many pairs of pants and T-shirts before it gets boring. Boys are hoping for a sister as they don't want to have to share their toys anymore then they already do!

    We plan on finding out as I have 7 years of boys clothes that I can start to get rid of if we end up with our little lady. And I would love to get that purge started. It drives me crazy looking at all those totes lined up in the basement.!

    If boys are way easier I will aim for one of those then!! ???? Its lovely that you are having a surprise, I love the idea but I just know the minute they ask me I will say I want to know!

    I'm torn. The romantic 5 year old inside of me really wants a little girl for all the things I loved when I was a child, the cute clothes, the imaginary games and the dolls. Plus my brother has 3 girls, and ton loads of really nice quality hand me downs. Yet, I dread all the pink princess madness.. Not to mention a teenage mini-he. Help!
    The more pragmatic part of me is hoping for another son. I think my little guy would love a little brother to mentor. And it feels like men in our family are just a whole lot more down to earth and focused. My mother and me were always like emotional explosives together. It was just really hard to live in the same house. I don't want that same relationship with a daughter.
    But either is good. The person will be who she or he is any way.

    We already have a little girl. I would love for her to have a sister to grow up with, but we'll take healthy. I didn't find out what we were having; my husband knew last time. I don't think I want to know this time either, but hubby does. Not sure if we'll work it out the same way as last time. He slipped once, but I was so convinced we were having a boy that I didn't really catch his slip. I questioned it for a minute and moved on. All the big stuff we got is neutral so we'd really only have to worry about clothes and since I didn't know last time, I got some neutral clothes at my shower. Plus, my family and friends tend to buy some clothes for additional babies after they are born so we'll have stuff.

    What is funny is my husband and I wanted a boy...2 boys was our wish. But, I have 3 nieces now and my husband said he kinda wants a girl now. After dealing with infertility, I'm of COURSE happy to have either. But, I still kinda want a boy. lol
