boy or girl ?

Ladies, i was just curious how many of you had a gender prefrence and how many got what you wanted ?
if you didnt, how did you react?

I want my baby to be healthy either way, but i would be lying if i said i didnt have a prefrence. im really wanting a boy and with my anatomy scan fast aproaching, im afraid of what my reaction might be if im told its a girl??!

i know i would love the baby either way, i just really want a boy.

I wanted a girl at first but my husband wanted a boy so for his sake I changed my preference. And just when I was really hoping to have a boy, we went to the gender scan and it turns out its a girl. I was disappointed but also relieved the anxiety was over and I could concentrate on loving my child. I still catch myself sometimes wishing there was a mistake and it turns out to be a boy but the ultrasound was pretty clear so I doubt it. Lol

I wanted a boy with my first pregnancy, you know boy first makes sense. But she was a girl. And in my opinion, having a girl first is better because you learn how to be a mom to a sweet princess instead of rub some dirt in it lol. She's my little homegirl. She will be 3 when her baby brother gets here :)

My boyfriend really wanted a boy! But he was thrilled when he found out were having a beautiful baby girl. He already calls her his monkey lol. His first words were "we needa get some guns. No way my baby girl will have a boyfriend." I thought it was too cute

I wanted a girl soo bad, but more importantly I just wanted a happy healthy baby. Even when we very clearly could see baby is a boy I was thrilled. He's very active and Dr says everything is going perfectly. Maybe I'll get my girl next time around!

I was dead set that I was having a boy when I was pregnant the first time.. Lol turned out to be a girl. But I wasn't upset about it, I was just happy to know what the gender was so I could pick a name and shop lol. I was also happy that she was healthy :) this time though, I'm really hoping for a boy!!
