[...] Would you try gender selecting your next child? A question from Audrey. I would not, I have two boys and love them both equally and differently. If I’m meant to have three boys like the pencil test said then so be it, but I will try for a girl when the time is right and I’ve convinced hubby. [...]

I know this a little bit late but I would NEVER EVER do Gender selection……… This comes from the mother of 3 kids, 2 boys 1 girl. I had a girl (third times a charm) last but regardless boy or girl that was my last pregnancy. And believe me this girl is giving us a run for the money. Not only was the pregnancy difficult in comparison shes just like a boy with 2 older brothers and 2 boy cousins. So although its fun to dress girls up I wouldnt change a thing that god deals us. My husband and her brothers have created a monster. She is catered to and adored yet she can pack a punch.

I am a first time reader and I actually just gave a persuasive speech agaisnt gender selection. there are so many reasons why it can be bad for a family and for society in general! By the time I have kids i’m sure it will be either outlawed or common place but i will have no part either way

This is such a tough one. I don’t know. I have 3 boys and I would love love love a little girl. I just don’t know if I’ll go that far

No…never. If all boys were in my future I would embrace it and love it. I would know there was a reason for this.

As for the feeling of not being done…I do think there is such a feeling. I feel it and I’m still pregnant with number three.

But my husband really isn’t on board with me and this was a very rough pregnancy. So we might be done even though I still have that twinge.

We’ll see.

As for all boys, there’s something so fun about that don’t you think? They’ll all be so close. All be best friends. And all adore their princess of a Mother.

Absolutely not! I wanted a girl and got a boy. Then, I wanted another boy and got a girl. God obviously knows what I need better than I do!

I have learned to be thankful for what is given to me. I have been given 3 wonderful biys and I will always be thankful. If I do have another one, I will still be thankful whether its another boy or if it turns out to be a girl.

No, not ever. I thought I wanted a girl–then I had my two boys!

I would never pick-because honestly I thought I always wanted girls, but now with two awesome boys I am having a blast and loving it. God knows what he is doing, and he gives us what we can handle. And if someday down the line I am still wanting to try the “girly” stuff, I can always adopt a little girl. And I have to agree-I’m not done and know that feeling you are talking about, but not because I am hoping for a girl this time-just because I feel like there needs to be another little voice in the mix.

My mouth is literally hanging open right now! OMG, I couldn’t even imagine picking my gender. I think babies are wonderful miracles from God and he is the one who decides for us.

People say the craziest things lol.
