    I think 3 girls is brilliant lucky ducky you! People suck, we keep getting " so WHEN are you having a BOY?" and when we explain we aren't really sure about having another it is like the biggest crime in the world "but you just HAVE to have a boy!!" Oops, my mistake.

    Your girls are beautiful and you are radiating happiness, people must be blind not to see how wonderful things are!

    Re: Is it weird that...

    It's funny that how many kids you have seems to be determined by what sex you have. Heaven you have three, and get told you need a fourth to have a boy. I only have two but they're a girl and a boy, so I'm getting the "how lucky now you can stop at two" comments. Because I'd obviously have been totally disappointed and unlucky to have another girl and *have* to have another baby, and obviously I would have to make it be a boy. So silly.

    DH and I would have loved another girl. I see the relationship sisters have and what I wanted growing up and I wanted that for DD. We had the perfect name, all the clothes and gear. But we are so happy with our little boy too, he's an absolute gem. I love that DD has a younger brother, just like I did. I'm one of those honestly don't care either way with the sex people, but not many around me are lol.

    Also, I had a little giggle at OPs "what if I have two boys?!" comment lol.

    I'm done having babies, but when we were contemplating a third, I would have loved a third boy, definitely more so than having a girl!

    I'm always getting the "oh so are you going to try for a girl" comments, annoys me no end!

    I was just about to say the same Teeki!

    Because we have one of each, apparently we don't need anymore! Sorry to disappoint everyone, I'm not done.

    Me too Jaycee!

    I was thrilled to have another boy - very happy with my 2 boys! Now people are just assuming we'll be trying again for a girl... No, I'm done.
    While I was pregnant we said we wouldn't be having another, and my FIL said 'but what if this one's a boy?' Ah didn't realise you HAVE to have a girl and can't stop till you do?!

    There are so many benefits to having kids that are the same sex - each to their own I say!

    Re: Is it weird that...

    Yeah, you're odd. Cos my preference is for boys. So you are different to me and must be villified and mocked.

    Fwiw, I wanted Liebs to be a boy, DH would have preferred a girl. We don't mind for Stormy, but boy would be simpler. #3 can then be a girl (still up for discussion). I will stop at 1 girl cos having a sister was no fun growing up for me or my girlfriends with sisters.

    Woooo, #3?? Yay Heaven

    Nah, you're not weird. I kinda wish I'd had a girl cuz if we have a third, I'm with PZ - what if we end up with two boys???

    But then again - my little man is perfect. He is completely different to my DD and I know that DH loves the fact that we have one of each. Ya know what, so do I!

    So whatever we have next, I'll be blessed either way.

    And so will you

    PS - I hear ya on the names. We STRUGGLED so badly with DS. If we have another boy, God help us. Literally!


    I laugh at myself.

    I love my boys. If we'd had another girl - faaaar out, that would be crazy. One DD is enough!!!

    Guess God did help us with his name. It is a special name - my grandfather's name

    Re: Is it weird that...

    Haha Heaven, same with us. But most ppl presume three is enough (I must be insane but I'm already thinking maybe we could fit in a fourth in a few years... I would be totally delighted with a fourth daughter!)

    I'm kinda surprised I haven't had any comments yet about not having any boys. I remember them when I was a child (also one of three girls).

    Besides, my girls are all so cute - which one should I want to swap for a boy?

    Heaven we are expecting our second baby and second girl and both DH and I were secretly hoping we would have two little girls. I feel so honoured at the prospect of raising two girls - strong, sensitive, smart little girls that can show the world the value of womenfolk
