I am 4 months pregnant and have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I have to take a blood test and then they are going to schedule me for the big ultrasound. I am so anxious to find out what this baby is! I really wanted a boy with my first and I got a girl. I couldn't be happier and now want another girl but my husband really wants a boy. My daughter was actually the first girl born in twelve generations on my husband's side of the family! What about you? What did you wish for and why? What was your partner hoping for?

When I was pregnant with both of my boys I didn't care what gender they were. All that mattered to me was that they were healthy. But now my husband wants us to have a daughter, so if I do become pregnant again I'm hoping for a girl for my husband's sake.

Yes, being healthy was a bigger priority for me too. My husband really, really wants this baby to be a boy but we'll see if he is going to get what he's wishing for.

I always wanted a boy so I could raise him to treat women right. I had a girl though. I prayed that if I had a girl, she would have a sense of humor and be beautiful. She is just that. Her father had nothing to do with either of us. He did not want to be with me or her when I became pregnant. He used me for a one night stand.

Wow, what an... well, you can fill in the blank. I can see why you would want to raise a boy and teach him what was right. It sounds like you did a fine job raising your daughter all by yourself.

When i was pregnant the first time i wanted a girl. Got a boy stillborn but still got my boy. The second time i was pregnant i really didnt care what I had as long as the baby was healthy. I got my girl! When pregnant on my third child I wanted a boy just cause I knew i wasnt having any more and wanted a girl and a boy. And voila I got my boy! You know what you should wait till the baby is born to find out what your having. That would be a much better surprise!

Wow, I am so sorry to hear about your first. And happy to hear you got your boy and girl. I wish I could wait but I am so anxious! I don't think I could wait nine whole months to find out!
