PrairieMom wrote: This question was a little hard for me. I answered the poll for how I feel today, I don't wish my child was the other gender, but now I have one of each.

Before I got Alexis I was constantly wishing Ben was a girl. I wanted a girl so bad when I got PG with him, and when they told me he was a boy in the delivery room, my heart just kinda fell. I just didn't know what to do with a boy! I am a very hearts and flowers kind of girl! plus all the baby girl stuff was so cute, and all the boy stuff is so dark and ugly. every time I went shopping I would get frustrated because there was so much more selection for little girls.

now I got one of each, and the best of both worlds. I will probably be wishing he was a girl again once he starts the "farting" phase, or the bringing home bugs and snakes phase.

Momof3inMe replied:
I felt the very say way when I frist had Tyler. I only knew girl stuff b/c I had 2 younger sisters. I always wanted a girl and could never really see myself with a boy. Now that I have 2 of each I am glad the frist 2 were boys to watch over thier younget sisters!

boyohboyohboy replied: I love having boys...It is just so easy,they dont care what they wear or how their hair looks..but now that we are facing the prospect of a girl, I am a little worried. I kinda secretly hope for a boy..

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I voted no, but I did want a girl when I was pg with Andrew, and just like you Tara I was a little disappointed when they told me in the delivery room that he was a boy. I got over it pretty quickly though and I love having a boy.

I know what you mean about all the cute girly clothes though!! I'm having so much fun buying stuff for Allie. Although boy clothes have gotten a lot cuter - my nephew is the same age as your Ben and I remember having a hard time finding anything cute for him when he was born, but Andrew had a lot of really cute things and I've seen some REALLY adorable baby boy clothes when I've been out looking for girl stuff for Allie!

coasterqueen replied: I voted no. I would have loved to have a boy, but honestly I have it made. Watching two girls grow together, being sisters, playing together with the same toys...the thoughts of them going to school dances, sharing make-up, clothing etc is just AWESOME. No others words for it but AWESOME.

lisar replied: Well I wanted a girl with Lexi and got my girl. And then with Raygen I didnt care. DH wanted a boy so badly he went out and bought boy stuff. And then when he found out it was a girl I think he was disapointed he kept telling everyone that it could still come out a boy. But when I had her I think he was so happy he had a girl that at that moment he wanted a girl.... And now he has 2 daddy's girls so he wouldnt have it any other way.

CantWait replied: I voted "no".

I'm actually glad I got 2 boys. I knew from a young age that I wanted 2 boys and THEN a girl. Although when I was pregnant with Anthony I really wanted a girl. Probably because I knew dh was so intent on having more kids anyway because he thinks he's old. I'm not very good with girlie things (such has doing hair etc) and I don't have to do that with my little guys.

I do want a girl now though, I know it won't happen so that kinda makes me sad.

MomToJade&Jordan replied: I voted no. Like Karen I love the fact that I have 2 girls. I did want a boy when I was pregnant with Jordan, but was just happy to get a healthy baby in the end.

TheOaf66 replied: I prayed for a boy, got a boy, couldn't be happier

Now to find out this one is going to be a boy too well I just had to

mummy2girls replied: Im happy with what i got... for me its a deeper reason why ... when i was pregnant with Jordan I wanted a girl. I just saw myself as only having a girl because i was a girl and i didnt know if I could raise a boy on my own. Then When i had Jordan and found out how ill he really was and such and i hated myself for wishing for a girl when pregnant, because i thought god took jordan away because he thought i was unhappy with what he gave me. now with Jenna when i found out i was pregnant it didnt matter what i had as long as the baby was healthy. And thats how i look at it now. Whatever god gives me then i should feel blessed. all i want is a healthy baby!

luvmykids replied: Since I got one of each on the first try I never had any thoughts about the opposite sex (Although DH did, when they said Kylie was a girl he said "Since we caught it early is there anything we can do about it?" But then they found Colt was a boy so he was satisfied)

I'm glad I have both sexes, they amaze me in their differences and have convinced me that nature hands down wins over nuture. I love the interactions between Colt and "his girls" and I love seeing Macie and Kylie together....I think you just get whatever your family is meant to have so enjoy it.

MoonMama replied: Honestly, because it was such a miracle we actually got pregnant, I' m thrilled to have a boy.

C&K*s Mommie replied: I join the ranks of voting no. I am actually happy that we did not have boys, because as you mentioned the bugs and snakes phase is not something I would look forward to.

I never liked the color pink until I had girls, and now I am girly-girling everything up from pinks, to pretty bows, dresses and frilly socks!

Kaitlin'smom replied: nope I always wanted a little girl. Now had it been a boy I would have been just as happy.

Calimama replied: I voted no. With Antonio in Iraq I told God whatever he wanted to give me was fine as long as he/she was healthy and he brought daddy home safely to see her. Antonio said he always wanted a little girl first and thats what he got. And she is a true daddy's girl, she even prefers him over me, and I'm the one who takes care of her all day.

holley79 replied: I was very excited when I found out Annika was a girl but would have loved either.

Boo&BugsMom replied: I think God has blessed us with boys because he sees how frustrated I get with girls. Plus, I have to admit, I love that "momma's boy" bond. I first hoped this next one was a girl, but now that I look at it, I am happy we're having another boy. I've always been closer with boys than I have girls, so it makes sense.

BAC'sMom replied: I voted no. But I do sometimes wish they would have been in a different order.

JP&KJMOM replied: Nope here. We wanted and boy and then a girl and that is what we got.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I voted no. I admit that I secretly wanted a girl when PG with Wesley, but now I can't think of it any other way. How could I?? If I had a girl, Wesley wouldn't be here!

redchief replied: We have two of each, so it just kind of worked out.

MotherForever2043 replied: I voted no. I love them just the way they are. I have always wanted to have girl, and I got them! But wirh this baby I would like to haver a boy

My3LilMonkeys replied: I wanted Madison to be a boy, but seeing the 2 girls together I wouldn't want it any other way. I do sometimes still wish for a boy to carry on DH's name, but I wouldn't want to give up my girls.

DillsMommy replied: I voted "no" When I was pregnant with Dylan I did want a girl, but when I found out he was a boy, I was completely happy with that. Plus the whole time I was preg. with him I just had that "gut" feeling he was a boy. I told people we were having a boy before we actually found out. Now I wouldn't change a thing. However, now I want a girl so badly, one of each would be perfect, I'm kinda worried that I might be disappointed if it's not though and I really don't want to be. I will love it no matter what and I know anything God gives us is a blessing.

JadensMama05 replied: I voted no too. As soon as we found out I was pregnant, Garred said "It's a boy." And I hoped and hoped for a boy and now I've got my perfect little angel of a son. However, with my next pregnancy, Im going to be hoping for a girl! I grew up with an older brother and he taught me a lot so I'd love to give a little girl that chance
