That's a hard one. I have two girls (one from a previous marriage) and DH who absolutely loves the two girls, would LOVE to have a boy too, but I'm not so sure how I would cope with two close together (I know, many mothers do it!) as I've not had to worry about that with a 9 year gap! With bub only 4 months old and my clock ticking, I have a decision to make. DH is not putting on any pressure, but I know how much it will mean to him.

Also, there are no guarantees that the next bub would be a boy, so he would need to be comfortable with yet another female in the house!

As for how many bedrooms you have, I was one of four children and we lived in a 3 bedroom house until we all moved out and we turned out ok (well, we reckon we turned out ok!). I shared a room with my sister and while I hated her guts when we were growing up (as siblings tend to do at times) we're very close now.

Good luck in making your decision.
