Are you hoping for a boy or a girl?

Do you have a preference?

I feel like it's a girl, but i don't mind. I find it a little bit sad when parents are set on a specific gender and are disappointed.

A boy might be easier (more hand-me-down clothes from DS, can share a room for longer) but a girl would be lovely too (some female company, cutesy 50s dresses)

I felt no3 was a boy, and was right. Never cared what I had with any of them. But with no2 I got convinced I was carrying a boy, and mourned for the girly things I would miss. Then when she was born, I got all disappointed that I wasn't going to have my rumbustuous all-boys family. Dafteeeee.

I would prefer a boy (because we only have boy name ideas) but don't mind really

I'm not bothered just healthy will do me just fine, my family wants me to have a girl and in-laws want me to have a boy, I have 8 brothers and only one sister so everyone thinks that I want a girl but not realy bothered at all, DH really really wants a girl and doesn't want to think of boys names as he thinks it will rock the boat, well in just over 3 weeks I will find out pink or blue, I keep changing my mine one min I think this LO is a boy then girl then back to boy, cant wait to find out once and for all!

Not realy bothered, but on another level a boy would be easier as already chosen name from last time, dd only has the name she has it is the only one we could agree on. DH suggested our second choice for a girls name this time but i no longer like it and was told i better start looking again. If it's a girl we have loads on clothes.

After 2 boys a girl would be nice but I don't mind as long as it's healthy.
I've had my boys name picked for ages but still nothing for a girl.
