I have always pictured a family of just girls since I was small. 3 girls would be my ideal, but I think if we got 2 straight, we'd consider ourselves blessed and not chance our luck. We had our first 5 months ago and DH I think slightly preferred a boy, but really didn't care much as long as the baby was helathy. I was overjoyed to discover that it was both healthy and a she, and while our little girl has been far from an easy baby, things have calmed down a bit, and we are planning to start TTC our next in a month or two, because our idea is to have sibilings close together. Since we already have one girl, DH actually wants a second as well, so that they can have that sister relationship and just because practically we have so much girl stuff already. I found this website because I'd heard of swaying (does it really work??!!) and was happy to find a place (and felt more normal!) where people actually admit that it's OK to want one gender more.
I'm hoping is it OK to post here since I have one of my desired gender since I'm sure that wanting another of your desired gender cannot compare to those that haven't gotten one yet. I know that a pigeon pair is a lot of people's dream because whenever we mention TTC#2, everyone assumes we want a boy this time, but I guess I'm the odd one out that really wants just girls. Obviously if #2 is a boy, I"m sure I'll love him and come around to the idea, but in my heart of hearts I'm hoping that I don't have to.
