Those in the 'Two boys club'...

[lovechoc]

what's it like? I am currently pg with no2 who we found a few days ago, is another boy which we are delighted about. I have a nearly 3yo DS already and just wondering what's in store for me when baby no2 arrives!

Any advice or experiences please share!

Thanks

Oh, and congrats, lovechoc!

I have two boys and love it, ds1 is 7 and ds2 is 6 months and they love each other, ds2's little face lights up every time he sees his big bro, it's fab .
I have been asked will I try for a girl, but no, I love having 2 boys and that's enough for me.

I love this thread! I also have 2ds, ds1 is 7 and ds2 is nearly 4. (3yrs and 2mths between them) Life is never boring with them. They are like chalk and cheese in every way but they are the best of buddies.

If I am in a shop with ds2 and I am getting him a treat, he makes sure that his brother is also getting some nice as well! DS1 is very protective of his litte brother as well.

All I can say is enjoy.

I have 3 sons. They are 6, nearly 5 and 20 months. DS1 and 2 fight like cat and dog but adore each other - they play well most of the time, making dens and playing hide and seek with their baby brother. DS3 is adorable and DS1 really looks ater him. DS2 not so chuffed at being usurped but will get over it when DC4 arrives. Which will probably be another boy.

What a lovely thread. Thank you OP.

I adore my boys - aged 2 and 4. They adore each other. One of the staff at nursery told be she was having a girl, I very nearly said 'are you disapointed' I couldn't believe my brain . I thought IO wanted a girl to dress up, but having 2 boys is without a doubt the best most wonderful thing in the world.

(Oh, and busy and muddy and a bit loud at times )

Have loved reading this thread! I've got two little boys- ds1 is nearly 23 months and ds2 is nearly 4 months. Ds1 loves his little brother and is very protective over him- esp when other people are nearby, he always hovers around saying 'my baba!' I can't wait to have fun with them as they grow. I didn't find out with either of them and was a bit gutted that ds2 wasn't a girl but love him soooo much! life is always at 100 mph with ds1 so assume that ds2 will be somewhat similar! all they need is plenty of exercise and good food and they're easy to deal with- my sister has a little girl and there is always one drama after another with her. I wouldn't change my 2 for the world, they are brilliant boys and hope they'll be lifelong friends like everyone elses on here seems to be (and the worst enemies!)

Enjoy! xxx

I have 3 boys, 9, 11 and 13. DS1 & 2 have not had this years B'day yet, so they are all closer in age than they appear.

For all the mess, busyness, noise and fighting that goes on I love every minute of being a Mum to 3 boys!

They get on well together, even the fighting blows over very quick and they see themselves as 'one for all and all for one' when in the outside world, which I think is fantastic!

Don't worry about having 2 boys at all...it just means your house will forever be muddy, noisy and your china ornaments will be put away in a cupboard for the duration - for safety reasons!

I have two boys, 3 and 1 and it's great.... they have an older siter too and she's ten times more hassle than both boys combined!

Boys are just so straighforward and easy, they love cudles and hugs and aren't prone to the histrionics that girls tend towards.

So good I did it twice! My big boys are 13 and 11 and best friends and ds3 and ds4, now 5 and almost 2 are beginning to form the same sort of bond. Ds3 in particular is always telling me he loves me. I do hope I will be able to get on with my DILS and won't annoy them too much as it would be nice to have someone who likes shopping which the boys most definitely do not, unless MacDonalds is promised!

several people have commented on how they've been asked by others if they were disappointed DC2 wasn't a girl. Tbh, I've had this with family too. Many were surprised when I said DC2 is going to be a boy. A relative the other day said 'so are you going to try for a girl next?'. I said it's unlikely we're having any more than 2DC. Not ruling it out completely, but it's amazing how many people can't help themselves from commenting about whether or not we'll try for a girl!

Have just caught up with last two pages, been brilliant reading all these stories!

Well, with 4 boys, lovechoc, you can imagine some of the comments I've got!

chipmonkey it's unreal isn't it? surely people are happy that you've created a healthy family, regardless of whether they are boys or girls. it's not like pick n mix at the shops! although the way some folk carry on, it comes across like that's how it's meant to be. one of my friends said 'ohhh I was so looking forward to buying nice pretty pink dresses, but nevermind...' charming I know she didn't mean it in a bad way, she had only hoped (like everyone else it seems!) that this one was a girl.

At least with 4 boys you know what to expect!lol it must be great having men all around you!

it's almost like people pity you if you have two of the same gender 'oh what ashame, maybe third time lucky'

Ooo I remember the comments regarding us 'trying' for a girl. Tbh I always hoped for boys and never for one minute thought I'd be lucky enough to have just boys!

I was a 'tomboy' when I was a kid and can't imagine having to faff with pink stuff, fairy outfits and doing hair in the mornings - if any girls I had were overtly 'girly' - All I get is where's my Rugby kit and no hair doing as they all have grade 2 haircuts!

I dunno how I would have coped if I'd had 3 girls instead!
