Did you want a boy or girl the first time you were pregnant? Is it better to have a boy first so he can look after the younger daughter?

I honestly dont think it matters if it is a boy or a girl that comes first, We dont have that say! But the one thing that matters more then anything else is that that baby boy or girl no matter what will be happy and healthy!

How true your statement is. I was always happy just to know the baby was healthy. I had 3 girls and finally had our son. Everyone thought I should stop after that. Thanks for the response.

Your children are beautiful. Thanks for the response. Will you raise your son to look out for his sister? Are we burdening our older children with the responsibility of looking out for the younger ones?

funny thing people call me crazy because I hoped I would have faternal twins one boy one girl the first time I found out I was pregnant, I had a boy. The second time I hoped for a girl as well but hopefully one day I'll have a girl too

Wow you wanted it all at once. What differences do you think having twins vice a single child would be? I don't know that it would be that much more of a chore you would just be doing everything twice at the same time.

I would like to have a set of twins. A boy and a girl. Both healthy and beautiful. But, if I can't have twins and God lets me have any at all I will be extremely happy for either/or.

I think twins would be neat to have. They would have someone to play with and they could take care of each other. I hope your prayer comes true. I will pray for you as well.

I agree - boy first and then a girl. It's just better to have an older brother and to make sure the little girl always has someone looking out for her when the parents can't be there.

Well I allways wanted a boy first and thats what I got.. and then I wanted 2 more but I stopped at 1 cause they were 15 months apart that was enough and I had one of each. but I knew I was having a boy the minute I thought I was pregnant, My daughter I was in shock I had just had a baby and was fixing to do it again but would change a thing

I wanted a girl first and since I was so young my doctor would not tell me, I was blessed and had a beautiful girl who I gave her a brother some 2 years later. Children of either gender are a blessing

We wanted a girl as pur only child together, my husband has two boys from a previous marriage. But we had our son who is now three and adore him more than anything! And now we are pregnant with our daughter who is due in May! And we are completely done with kids now! lol

I am totally opposite. I had 3 girls then my son. Noone thought I was ever gonna have a boy. Good luck with the baby girl. I have 2 Grandbabies both boys and with my son being 11 I find myself wanting a baby again at times. My Grandsons don't live close by so I miss them a lot.

Even though God always makes the best choice-we still will have our wishes. I wished for a girl both pregnancirs, but was blessed with two gorgeous wonderful boys. They are awesome and if we have more, boys would be great again! Tons of fun!!!

I wanted a girl with my first one and that's what i got. I tried for a boy after that and ended up with 2 more girls. Now i am pregnant again with guess what... another girl. I am done so there isn't a chance that I will have a boy.

I wanted a girl first. I'm not sure why, maybe just because I really wanted a little girl. I have my Emma now, and she is the sweetest thing in the world, and my little best buddy. Someday I would like to have a son too, but I do love my little princess!

Right now I would like 3 boys and a little girl. That is the way I would have it if it were up to me. I also think I want to adopt a little girl from china. I may change my mind about having 3 boys though...we will see.

I wanted a boy first to look after a younger sister, just like you said. I had 2 girls instead, and I'm so glad that I did. I don't think I could "handle" boys. :-)
