Aww, I love it when people have several children. I have my one sister and I think I always wished to have more siblings (not that I’m not happy with her !).

So true, love the honest response. Do you have names picked out?

This is how I want to look when I’m pregnant hahaha. I agree with this, isn’t it curious how almost entitled some people act when it comes to offspring? You’re going to make such an amazing mommy!

Great response. I agree too that the family structure we grew up with tends to affect our desires – I always wanted a brother, so I would love to have a boy in the mix. But, like you said, I’ll be happy with either

My husband and I will be happy either way–we want four children, so we’re hoping that we’ll have at least one of each gender

I want a boy and two girls! in that order, haha, but I would NEEEVVER do anything to manipulate the way it worked out. Really I plan to let the gender be a surprise, that’s the way my parents did it for both me and my brother, so it has just always seemed like the right way for me as well – of course when the option is actually presented my tune may change, haha.

Love the image you chose for your post! So chic.

If you aren’t happy with either gender, you probably shouldn’t have children, but then there are a LOT of people I don’t believe should be allowed to have children. At the very least those people should adopt a child of the gender they want – If a woman has enough money to go through treatments trying to get the ‘right’ gender, she could probably afford the adoption process.

I think I subconsciously wanted a girl but when I found out he was a boy I got on board really quickly and now I am so GLAD to be having a boy.

I read that article, too! I think a lot of women glamourize and idealize what motherhood “should” be like. With the onslaught of celebrity moms everywhere in recent years, I think it’s only gotten worse. It makes me sad to think that children are being neglected by their birth mothers for being born the “wrong” gender. I hope these women get the help they need, since I do believe it is a psychological issue.

For me, even though it’s a few years off, I would be ecstatic to get a boy or a girl (something in between, I’m not so thrilled about at this time, but should it happen I know I could deal). My husband and I wax poetic occasionally about “wouldn’t it be great if our future son did this?” or “when we have a daughter I’d love to take her there.” We both come from families with one boy and one girl, so maybe that’s what makes us think both ways automatically. If you asked me which I’d prefer…well, honestly, I don’t prefer one over the other. On top of that, I don’t believe being born a gender really makes a difference. My dad had a son and a daughter, but when it came down to doing handy work in the garage or changing spark plugs on the car, I was his right-hand gal because that’s just what I was into. I don’t think having a child of a different gender necessarily means you won’t get the same experience…the barrier is in your own mind.
