    Why do you want a girl?

    I think it's interesting to hear the different reasons that brought people here and why we want a little girl so badly.

    For me, I want a second daughter because for the longest time it was me and my sister against the world. We grew up in dysfunction and only had each other. I want my DD to have a sister so they can look out for each other

    On a practical note, we only have a 2 br house so if we had a boy it would require $ and hassle in splitting the room in 2. It's just easier having 2 girls share a room

    I have come to completely see the truth in the "a daughter's a daughter for all of your life; a son is a son til he takes a wife"...even when the MIL acts totally normally and isn't intrusive, etc...it just seems to be the nature of things. I don't want to always be the outsider/second choice with my grandchildren (or other big events like weddings...or even where my kids choose to live geographically -- they're going to be choose to be closer to the wife's family. Every. time.) I am super close to my mom and even though my wonderful brother is actually probably her favorite child, she and I still have an extra connection and closeness...I don't want to miss out on that.

    Gurly: I will say that I shared a room with my brother growing up and we're super close

    I have a daughter and a son from a previous relationship. My husband and I want to have a daughter together. My daughter still see's her biological father, it's hard for my husband to share her emotionally. We have 3 sons together and a daughter will fill that gap, feeling complete.

    And for the record, I don't believe a daughters your daughter thing....
    I think it's how you raise your boys...
    I've already told my kids, they can only marry a girl who is nice to & loves their mom.
    And we don't just say it, we live it
    I adore my mom-in-law...she's with us on every family vacation & I wouldn't have it any other way!!!

    I wanted a daughter to experience both genders. To have that unique relationship just like I have with my sons. The best of both worlds...I wanted to know both worlds. After I had her, my urge for a daughter was fulfilled. When I got pregnant again, I wanted a girl, not because of my wants for a daughter, but because I wanted my daughter to have a sister, just like my boys had brothers

    I have a very similar reason. I have been trying to get pregnant for the better part of the last decade. If things had been easy for me maybe it would be different. I had always planned on #1 at 27/28, #2 by 30 and try to talk DH into #3 before 35. In that scenario there would have been plenty of time/opportunity to let what happened happen. We started trying right on schedule and DD didn't show up until I was 32. I am now 36 and it is looking unlikely I will get pregnant again, much less two more times. I feel like a lot has slipped away from me, including the ability to just "let happen". I grew up with a sister and I really want that relationship for my daughter. I love girly stuff and I love being a girl mom.
