how many of you, when you were preganant or even before you got pregnant were hoping for a specific gender and got the opposite???? I always thought I would have a girl, thats all that runs in my family and I ahd a name picked out for years!!!!! Well i had a boy, and now months later, it seems like " hmm, what would I do with a girl?????" Any of you still wishing for the opposite???

I always pictured myself having a little girl and that is what I hoped for. I was shocked when I found out I was having a boy. I was actually thinking about this the other day. I cannot imagine having a girl now. Having a baby boy is so much fun, he is my little "baby love" (my nickname for him). I am so happy my little boy is not a girl. He was supposed to be what he is =)

I have always wanted one of each. When I first got pregnant, I KNEW, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it was a girl. People tried convincing me that it was a boy - but I knew it was a girl. The ultrasound was "inconclusive" as to gender, but I KNEW...and when she was born...I was right. :) I'm still hoping to have a boy someday.

I've been hoping for a girl ever since I was 5 and my little brother was born..LOL. Ok I love my little bro, but I have 2 brothers and I always wanted a sister, so naturally I wanted a little girl really bad...and I got her! =) Tasia Sheila Anne born Nov.1st. Just over a month old now. My step sister was told she was having a girl by ultrasound and got super excited and it ended up being a boy! haha

My first I hoped for a girl... and got it! Then when I found out I was prego with Gabriel, I had hoped for another girl! Well, obviously it was a boy... and I wouldn't trade him in for anything! I'm glad I have one of each, but now if we were to have another baby, I dont know what I would want! Ofcourse I would be happy with either, but its always fun to wonder what life would be like with 2 girls and a boy or vise versa.

I thought I was having a boy, because I wasn't sick at all..I craved a lot of cheese...and I looked like I had a basketball under my shirt...When I found out it was a girl, I was very happy! If it had been a boy the name was going to be Isaiah Denzel...Turns out she was an Asjani Iman. :) Glad that I had a girl first!!!!

I too hoped for a girl. I "knew" it was a girl, but the US said boy. I even went as far as telling my parents "it's a stinky boy!" (with a laugh though!). Anyway, after an abnormal triple screen, an amneocentesis, and a premature birth, I wouldn't trade him for the world. I dress him up in "heartbreaker" and "mommy's little boy" onsies. God has funny ways to get you to appreciate things.

I wanted a boy 1st, then a girl, then another boy then another girl. So far i've been lucky and got them. I think my next one will be a boy though.

i always imagined having a boy, thought i wanted a boy, knew insinctivly I was preg with girl, she is the best thing ever, im so glad she is a girl now not a boy:

babies are little angels, its only before you meet them you seem to have preference, we are so conditioned in western society that we choose everything, colour of car/clothes, everything, however this is something we cant choose but are so used to choosing we do in our heads, when your baby arrives it does not matter one bit what it is, they are the most precious special thing ever, I wish this could be posted on pregnancy boards I know many people obsess unnesasarly about what gender and how to tell

when i found out i was pregnant everybody wanted a boy. i really didnt care and neither did dh but my mom and sister wanted a boy. when i found out it was a girl, they were bummed out but once they met her they fell in love it didnt matter that she was a girl.

While I was pregnant I wanted nothing but a girl. When I went in for my US and was told it was a boy, I was crushed. I now love my little boy to death. I want another baby but now I want nothing but another little boy.

There has not been a boy in our family in forever, so when I got pregnant, I a__sumed it would be a girl. I always said I wanted a little girl first, and did not think I was capable of having a boyLOL! So, needless to say, at the ultrasound when the tech said, "Congratulations! Its a boy!" I was in shock for a few hours. My dh still likes to tell the story of the look on my face at that moment. But I quickly recovered and became excited and looked at boy clothes for the first time ever! I would not trade my gorgeous little boy for any girl in the world now. I love him more than anything in the whole world and could not imagine life without him. I still hope the next one is a girl though!!

We don't know yet what we are having (due in a couple of weeks - just reading ahead) and to be honest, I have days when I think it is a girl, and others when I think it is a boy. I decided early on not to find out the gender, and my dh agreed so that we'd have this one surprise in our life left intact until delivery (we're not sure we'll have another baby). Well, we hear everyday from someone guessing one way or the other, and when we went for our first ultrasound at 18 weeks, the tech told us she knew 100% what we were having. I had a__sumed it was a girl (we only have girls on my side) so when I heard that, I was crushed in a way because I felt I had lost the possibility of having a girl. I know that when I give birth, I will wonder what it would have been like to have the other gender, but I am positive that I will never be upset about it, one way or the other, because the baby will be in our arms and we will love it totally. My hubby really wants a boy, so that was another reason to wait to find out - I didn't want to see a look of disappointment on his face and I know that after delivery, he won't feel that way, even if it is a girl (hope not, anyway!)

Although Iwonder what it would be like to have a girl. The night I loss my baby by miscarriage I dream of a the most adorable little girl. I just new it was a girl . I named her Haliee. Now I have Kodi and ould not trade him for any girl in the world. I plan on trying for a girl next round if not he will have to settle for a baby brother and Big half sister. :)
