How many of you got the gender you hoped for?

Question

Not that it should matter...we should be happy for whatever is sent to us but I am sure some of us hope for a boy or girl in particular for some reason or another. I am wondering if most women had what they wanted? Of you that are pregnant of have had children did you get that girl or boy that you wanted?

Answer 1

I had wanted a girl sooooo bad. but when i found out that we were having a boy, i was surprised to find out that i was actually happier. i think i really wanted a boy the whole time!!!

Answer 2

I have always dreamed of having a little girl and when I got pregnant I was told it was a boy. I was thrilled anyway because I knew my husband was so excited to have our little man.

Then, an ultrasound later they told us SURPRISE it's definitely a girl. Maybe it was the hormones but I was devastated. I got so used to the idea of having a little Joey that I didnt know what to do with myself.

But, i got over it and now my baby girl is 9 mos and Im so thrilled to have a daughter.

You are right, it really doesn't matter. I love any baby.

My boss on the other hand has 4 sons and just had another boy. She told me the only reason she has 5 children now is because she was trying for a girl.

She was so discussed with the gender of her new baby that he wasn't even named for a week! Poor little guy. Shes an evil woman.

Answer 3

I wanted 2 boys and got 2 boys!

Answer 4

Well, for my first i didn't care either way.  So when i found out i was having a girl i was happy.  But with my second i wanted a boy just so i could have both experiences.  If it was a girl all well but i really wanted a boy this time!  And i am now 26 weeks with a little boy!  

Answer 5

I was hoping for a boy for my first and a girl for my second. I had my first son, and when I was pregnant with my second baby, found out I was having another boy. I was not disappointed though, because no matter what, I was happy, and I didn't have to buy a whole lot. I wouldn't trade either of them for anything!

L-train: Aw, that's awful, that poor baby. I wish people would just understand that any baby is a miracle and shouldn't be taken for granted. She doesn't deserve kids, by the sound of her. I hope he doesn't grow up feeling hated by his parents.
