I have always wanted In no particular order. After DS2, though, I thought for sure I'd only have a family of boys. Thank goodness our sway worked with DD; now, just hoping a sway will work for one more DD so we can be done

Well, I've always wanted two of each in no paticular order. We have DS1, DS2, DS3, DD1, DD2 so I got one extra fella! But he's such a sweetie and I wouldn't trade him for the world!

Its interesting how so many want the (s) first! I always liked boys who had older sisters because they seemed to relate to girls well... I didn't think about it too much though with DS just wanted a healthy baby, but when I think about it now I always liked the idea of s because I wanted a sister so badly. Maybe someday we'll have another ? yikes!

Growing up I wanted GGG (just like I had)... Now I have DS, so now my dream is BG! Lol

I think having an "ideal" is what brings us all to forums like this (LOL). It's hard to live up to the fantasy . . . in any event, I think BBGG or GGBB is best. At the outset, however, I think I wanted 3 with a mixture of gender. Ideally probably GBB. It was only after having 2 boys that I realized how nice it can be for a child to have a same-gender sibling close in age. Now I really would love to achieve that BBGG, but am happy to report that after years of obsession, I think I'm over "it" and would be fine with BBGB

I always wanted 5 or 6 children and I didn't have a strong gender preference, I did think there would be at least one girl in there though. I rem. when I was pg with DS 2, seeing a funny sign that read, "There's a special place in heaven for a mother of 4 boys" and actually thinking, "oh, that wouldn't be so bad, it would be fun!"...but then the very next second I thought, "no, I do want at least one daughter"!! Little did I know that someday I would actually OWN that sign!!!

I did want a boy when I had DS 1, had no pref. with DS 2, and I am very thankful that I did get to experience pregnancy and birth without gender disappointment...my heart aches for people who have a strong pref. from their first child.

I think it would be pretty cool for a girl to have 3 older brothers (I kind of have to really!).

I desperately wanted (and still kinda do) a big brother. I used to have dreams where it turned out my dad had had a secret kid and he came back and found us!!

[Princess of Pink]

Before we had kids I wanted or something about the older brother to protect kind of thing. But I wanted boy first, then a girl second.

After girl #1 I was desperate for a boy...in any order I didn't care!! My ideal changed with each pregnancy to always end in a boy. Now after finally laying my EGD to rest....
I would honestly be happy with and I think another girl would just fit in better...don't get me wrong I wouldn't be disappointed to hear boy....but for the first time EVER, I want another girl. And I finally feel at peace!! It's so nice finally.
