anyone hope for a boy? :)

[FionaJean]

The stereotype is that women want to have a girl, and men want to have a son. Especially for their first child. With the people I know that have had babies, that rang true for them! Just seems so funny that the cliché is mostly true But is there anyone out there, especially those that are WTT their first, that hope to have a little boy first? I do!

I don't know completely why, but I always imagine myself having a baby boy first. And whenever I have dreams that I have a baby, it's always a boy! And I have more boy names than girl names on my list. However, I want to very much so have both genders in my family. I would like to have 3 or 4 kids, and I hope that includes at least one son and one daughter. I will be perfectly happy with either, but my hope is a boy first! Anyone other ladies out there not follow the "norm" and hope for a boy first?

We're lucky to already have one of each, i was so so desperate for our first to be a boy so I know how you feel. I felt truly blessed for my first born to be a boy. Naturally we then hoped for a girl with our second, and again were very lucky. Now we're going to leave baby 3 as a surprise. I would however really love to have another boy, I'm not sure our little girl would like the limelight taken away and little boys adore their mummies

I wanted a baby girl so badly for my first pregnancy. I was super lucky and we ended up having a girl. For my 2nd I would love a boy! I want to go shopping for boy things lol

I would honestly be thrilled with either!! Hubby would prefer a boy first because he's the last boy and he wants to ensure that the family name be carried on. I feel the same way and I like the idea of the boy being the "protector" of his little sister. On the other hand, I've always seen myself with a "mini me!"

I would like to have a boy first then a girl. If it's not in that order I wouldn't be disappointed. As long as they're healthy.

I had always envisioned myself with a girl first but got a boy....and it is awesome!! He is such a mommas boy and loves to cuddle up with me. Honestly, part of me is hoping for another boy next because of how wonderful my DS is

I would be completely happy with either gender but I too do hope for a boy. I just imagine myself as a mum to a little boy and all the rest of the young children in my family have girls so it would be nice to have a boy for that reason too. I would not be at all upset if I were to have a girl though. X

We have 2 Daughters and a Son. we would like another little boy.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm obsessed with having a boy. Sometimes I even talk to him in my mind. My (future) little man Arthur Douglas

I wanted a boy so bad for my first. I got him! Now for our second I'm hoping for a boy, but I also kinda want a girl. I would be happy with either. I would have been happy with a girl the for my first too, but I just had it in my head I was having a boy. I knew what I wanted to name him, what I wanted his nursery to be and everything else by the time I was 8 weeks.

Id love a boy

Im lucky enough to have 2 amazing daughters already, with my first pregnancy i really wanted a girl and with my second i wanted a boy, im hoping for my 3rd its a boy! xx

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

I think id have preference for another girl but I dont REALLY mind. I have 1 boy and 2 girls already x

 

[Buttercup84]

I have 2 girls (kinda wanted a girl with my first but would have been happy with either, no preference with my second) and would love to experience raising a boy for our third and last baby I have a feeling it'll be another girl though which would be awesome too, though I think my oh would need to get a male dog for company lol!!

 

[stephaniexx]

I have three girls and it would be nice to have a son last! But I wouldn't love another daughter any less

 

[CandiceSj]

I didn't exactly have hope for one over the other, but I had a feeling I was pregnant with a boy, which turns out was not correct and I had a girl! With my second, I had no intuitive feeling about which it could be but I was hoping for a girl simply for easier planning. I already had some girl things from 4 years earlier, my cousin had a toddler girl outgrowing all her stuff... basically I'd be all set with a pink stroller and bunch of clothes - also I had a lot of possible girl names but didn't like any boy names... but I got a boy and couldn't imagine our life without him! It feels perfectly as it should be to have a girl and a boy

 

[shelbelle33]

Before I had kids I had always said I wanted 2 boys or 2 girls or a boy then a girl. Obviously I didn't really care about the gender or order of my kids, the most important thing was that they were healthy.

I have a boy who is a total mamas boy and I think it would be nice to have a girl so she can wrap my husband around her little finger. Hahaha. If we had another boy that would be great too.

I've always pictured my first born as a boy and I've actually always preferred boys over girls (irrational I know) so when I fell pregnant I secretly hoped. I just knew it was going to be a boy though, which I suppose was dangerous as I could have been massively disappointed! Although to be honest, I'd've been happy with either really! We didn't find out and picked names for both sexes but I way preferred my boys' name (and have since gone off the girls') so I guess it was just meant to be!

I think my reasoning stems from always wishing I had an older brother (I have a younger one). Now I'm in a predicament as we only want two children and I can't decide if I'd like another boy to give my LO a brother or a little girl... Part of me would be sad if I never experienced the mother/daughter thing but then part of me would wish I could give my son a brother as my husband and his brother were so close. I guess I'd be happy with either gender second time round!

I was sooo desperate for a boy first too!! Everyone was telling me I should hope for a girl first but I was adamant it would come out blue Boys are awesome! x
