Juniper`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll If you tried for a certain gender and you got the opposite - how did you feel about it? I`m pregnant with #2 and I`ll have 2 boys. We would love one of both, but 3 is really the max we could have. I would just love to have a girl as well, but Im so afraid I`d be terribly dissapointed if it was a 3rd boy. I was already dissapointed finding out this one was a boy.. don`t get me wrong.. I will love him with all my heart, I just always thought I`d have a girl... anyone else had the same feelings? what are your thoughts on this? thank you..

I really thought this LO was going to be a girl. I was really shocked when we saw that he is a boy! I`m kind of worrried because my hubby is one of 4 boys! Now that our first one is a boy, I`m scared I will never get to have a little girl!

i really thought my first was gonna be a girl, i even called him she while pregnant, and picked a name, i was so dissapointed, when i found out it was a boy. but i got used to it, then when he was born, i was so happy, and now i couldnt imagine not having him, i have now got my girl who is 1 year old, and im pregnant again, with another girl, but i was hoping for another boy.

I have a girl and a boy and so it shouldn`t have mattered what was next. But ALL of us wanted a boy. What do we get, girl! It`s been a month since I found out and I`m slowly getting used to the idea. I wanted the whole sports package to go with my 2 yr old boy. But you know what? I`m the sports package and I`m a girl so she could be just like me! I also didn`t want my daughter to have any feelings of being left out or competition since she is bi-racial and my son and soon to be daughter are not. But life just has a way of throwing you curve balls and in the end it`s all good. =) Let yourself feel like you feel and then move on. Healthy and happy are ultimately the most desireable in a baby.

I am pregnant with my 3rd daughter and I couldn`t be happier. I never wanted a boy. Not that there is anything wrong with boys, I just didn`t want one. Im sure if I had one my opinion would change though.

I have a 7 year old boy and my boyfriend has a 7 year old boy. I am pregnant right now with another boy. I was very dissaponted when I first found out. Weboth wanted a girl soooooooooo bad! Even today when I was watching my son play basketball, there was little cheerleaders on the sidelines and I just kept thinking to myself how badly I want one. I am a little over it now and cant wait to meet my new boy in a month! And were not trying anymore. Were done with babies. 3 of my friends are pregnant with girls right now so I will just spoil them. LOL

I know how you feel. I have 3. I wanted a boy from the very start.My 1st was a girl. When I went to do the u/s for my 2nd, it was anothwer girl. I did feel a bit disappointed for a min but as we did the u/s i was just happy she was healthy. My3rd was finally a BOY!! I cried like a baby when we were doing the u/s . Its ok to feel disappointed, just dont dwell on it. My neighbors had 5 girls and after there last one about 5 yrs ago. they gave up. =)

I know what you mean, I have 5 boys!!! I also wanted a girl more than anything! But hey look at it this way I am still soo blessed... ♥

I have 3 boys and I love it. If I have a girl this time I dont think I will know what to do. Oh, I forgot to tell you my boys are 24, 22 and 11. They are all sweet and take care of their momma. I love it .

taelynnzmommy (1229.5 days ago)
just think though no matter the outcome you get a sweet lil precious baby and as long as your baby is healthy thats enogh too ask for :) I want too have a boy (this time im having a girl) and if my next pregnancy is another girl i`ll just take it as that`s what the good lord wants me too have! good luck with ur precious babies :):)

jennaluv (1229.5 days ago)
I know how you feel!!! I have three boys! But I wouldn`t change that for the world! My husband and I desided to try just one more time for a girl, and this pregnancy we are getting our little girl! We are Sooo Exited!

scruz (1229.5 days ago)
I don`t have these feelings as much as my husband does. We really just wanted 2 children. But after finding out that we are having another girl he seems so disappointed. He loves our daughter to death, she is a Daddy`s girl over and over, but he has always dreamt of having a son. We only have one more try and I am not so sure that it is a good idea as both of my pregnancies have been filled with complications.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
