Secret Preference?

So I was just wondering if any of you ladies have a secret preference for the sex of your baby? I know we would all agree that we want a happy healthy baby overall, but I can't help but admit that I want a baby girl first! Sometimes I feel bad thinking what if my baby is a boy and feels unwanted because I have these thoughts? But then I think that it evens out cause daddy wants a baby boy. But I will definitely say that boy or girl, they are already loved and mommy and daddy can't wait to meet them. So let me know if I'm alone in these thoughts or if this is normal...Take care and God Bless :)

I know my husband would like a boy, but I know both of us would be happy with either at this point, just happy & healthy - that is all we ask. Wish you all the best !

With my first I really wanted a boy and I got exactly that, so I was very happy (a girl would have been fine too). This pregnancy took me 3.5 years to conceive so I honestly am just ecstatic that I've made it this far, so either sex is fine with me as long as I don't get both. =) My husband thinks it's a girl but I'm not leaning either way I can't tell. I hope all of you ladies get what you asked for and very healthy. =)

Haha, that's too funny...well I know my husband's not doing any of the work (well aside from the part that got us here..lol) but he sure is feeling all my symptoms. It's awesome, he's having cravings and gaining weight already and he claims he has minor dizzy spells at work sometimes. So if I have a little girl and she's more attached to daddy, I wont be too upset.

Oh Tink, I had a dream about a week ago that I was having a baby boy and I got really sad...although I would love to have a little momma's boy running around, I just really want to have a little girl first. But I guess we'll see how telling these dreams are...

Hope all you ladies are doing well...Take care and God Bless. :)

I really wanted a girl the first time around - So bad that I would not find out what I was having because I just needed that suprise.  I never once said it out loud because I did not want to feel bad if I had a son - which of course we would all love just the same but for some reason I just really wanted a girl.  Well, I got my girl and now I am pregnant again and I really honestly do not have a preference this time.  I would love another girl and I would love a boy - I am done after this baby but I dont feel the urge to have one of each BUT if I already had a boy I know I would want a girl.  I think all us girls want girls at first and guess what - they come out wanting their dads like they did all the work.

Hi girls Im hopin that al of your girls are having a blessed day. well
Mapes: Wow that is so amazing to just wait until you give birth to find out your sex that is Something. I mean I couldn't be able to wait that long.. hee hee!!

Well I do have a preference girls > I  want to have another girl.. I started my first pregnancy with with a  girl and then I had a boy and I think it would be lovely to have another girly.. I must tell you that when I saw the u/s on my second pregnancy I was upset. Girls I got to  see his lil tiny penis on the screen.. I told the tech from the U/S dont you tell me OH I know what it is. I told her no I dont want a boy.. But then later on that day I started to window shop and when I finally spoke to my mother in law thats when I noticed what am I complaining about I have the match I already had a girl and know God blessed me with a boy.. So from that day forward I was ok!!

But I got to tell you that a couple of days ago I had a dream and I saw that  I was having was a girl... So I dont know!!! But I do know this if I do get a girl Im ok and happy and if I dont then Im still going to be ok and happy!! aslong as they come out healthy thats all that really matters..

Ahhh that's awesome!!! I don't think I'll be able to wait til I deliver to find out the sex of the baby. But I've been joking with my husband and telling him that I'm gonna let him find out that way and he gets all sad...LOL. And then he tells me that either I'm gonna tell him or he's gonna call my dr and find out for himself. He's so silly. I think that part of the reason I want a girl is that my SIL (hubby's sis) had 3 boys back to back and I would love to have the first girl. But wow, to find out what you had the day you deliver must be amazing! Take care and God Bless :)

When I had my first, I had secret hopes for a boy.  We didn't find out, and I was thrilled in the delivery room when they announced "It's a boy!!!"  I'm not sure if we'll find out this time, but I don't know which way I'm leaning this time.  Part of me says girl to have both, but I ADORE the son I have and would be thrilled to have another one.
