    Is it weird that...

    ...I would like another girl?

    Everyone tells me 'oh, I hope you get a boy next time!' Umm...actually I'd like another little girl . I have the perfect name picked out!!
    We are totally hopeless with boys names! With both our girls (and the other name we have) we have thought 'yep, that's it, that's the perfect name for them'. Can't find a boys one that I love. Bugger. Bet I have a boy next now with no name!

    Am I strange for wanting another girl when I have 2 already! Seems most people in the same situation want the other gender next time. But I can't get enough of little girls, they are soooo sweet! I blame my parents, they gave me 4 brothers and I've had enough of boys!! LOL.

    Anyway, just my ramblings, lol, sorry you wasted your time reading that now?

    I don't think it's weird! I would be very happy not to have a boy...we'd like 3 children and I'm actually really worried that #2 will be a boy, because then #3 could be a boy and then we'd have two boys, ahhhh! If #2 is a girl then I can relax, LOL!! I love having a girl, all the clothes are so sweet, and I feel a very strong bond with my daughter. DH would like at least two girls as well. I can't really describe it very well...but I definitely don't think you're weird for feeling that way

    Umm, no I don't think you are strange! I have many day dreams about when we have our next which sex would be better in our family dynamics, names etc.... I know when we fall pg again, people will assume we want a boy b/c we have already have a girl - assume away.

    Not weird . I know plenty of other mums who seem quite content to keep having the same gender.

    I love having both - but TBH if I had had a girl first I probably would have been happy to only have girls iykwim? I'm kind of glad I had a boy first cause I was always a bit worried about how I'd go with a boy, but it turns out little boys are pretty awesome too .

    I don't think it's weird at all but although in a similar circumstance (only brothers - 6 to be exact) i was actually hoping to have a boy but as DD2 is our last 2 girls it is lucky they are tomboys

    i don't think that's weird! i'm kind of torn - i'd quite like a girl but if we have another boy, that doesn't worry me. i think i'm destined to have boys

    Me too! We have just decided that we will have a 3rd one day and whenever I say this to people first thing they say is 'to have a boy?' Well no, just want another baby and I know girls so another would be just perfect for me. After finding out the sex both times with DD's we also decided that the next one will be a surprise. I think I could handle people asking 'bet you hope it is a boy' more then 'bet you wish you were having a boy' (as if I would be dissapointed) if we did find out it what we were having and it was a girl.

    Definitely not weird!
    TBH, I kinda wanted another boy, and now we're going to have one of each, I know that I won't be able to budge DH on #3 because we'll have one of each.

    From my experience of 3 little girls (5yrs, 3.5 yrs, 1.5 yrs), i love the fact they play in the same way together and are so close - at the moment!! Ask me again in 10 years!!!

    Not weird. I thought I was having another girl after DD but turns out it was a boy - but man these lil guys steal your heart in a totally differnt way! I wouldnt change my pigeon pair for the world... just as you would not chnage your 2 girls for the world either!

    Definitely not weird! Before I found out this one was another girl, I kept changing my mind about girl or boy, boy or girl... they both seemed like really good options; both had certain pros and both had their cons (still a bit nervous about 2 teenage girls in the house haha) but I'm pretty stoked to be having 2 little girls.

    I actually sometimes think it is a little odd that the ideal family is one of each, who decided that? It seems more about the parents being able to experience both than being of any huge benefit to the children, I think all child combinations have good and less than good aspects. It is just me and my brother and while it is a really great relationship and there were definitely bonuses to having a brother, it wasn't all magical haha and I look at my best friend and her sister and see the same; lots of things I was jealous of but different sibling issues to contend with that I was glad I just saw from the sidelines

    I don't think it's weird at all! We'll just be having the two kids and I was hoping this one would be another boy actually. Mostly because I have so many nice boy clothes already and I have all the boy toys And seeing there is only a couple of years difference between them I think they'll be great mates!

    I will admit since finding out we are having another boy I've had the odd pangs about never having a daughter, but I love my little guy and I'm certain another is going to be awesome!

    nah not weird at all, I would sprout to be a little girl (would be happy with either, but secretly hoping for a third girl).
    Its not that I dont want a boy, its just I would like another girl.
    Must say regardless of gender, I will love this little one all the same. And Im sure the girls will too, oh and DH

    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!

    Re: Is it weird that...

    Ha! Well look how that turned out

    Now I just have all the dumb 'oh maybe next time you'll have a boy' comments. Shut up people, we have healthy babies, things couldn't be better. So happy with my three little girls
