[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t care. Can I ask why you prefer a boy? [/quote]

OP here. We bought everything in neutral colors with the exception of clothes because we knew we wanted a second and wanted to be prepared if second baby was different gender than first baby. Not having to buy new clothes is a perk. The main driving factor for me is I already have a boy and feel like it may be easier to navigate this experience as a parent with two boys. They will close in age and I want them to be best friends or at least have similar interests which may make things easier as they get older. I was close with my sister and my brothers were close so I would like for my kids to have that same sibling bond that I feel is best same sex kids. Not saying that opposite sex siblings can’t have a close bond, but my brothers and I were never as close as I was with my sister and they were together as brothers. My husband has one brother and they are super close and I know he really wants that for our kids. I would want two girls if first child ended up being a girl. We will be just as happy if it’s a girl and ultimately just want a healthy and happy baby. [/quote]

NP- look my dd wears dresses and lots of pink and unicorn stuff, but come on...will the world end if you have to dress you newborn in a pink or blue onesie when they're the "opposite" gender? My husband is a former football player, a huge pretty masculine guy and he was tickled to put our son in his older sisters pink baby clothes. This is a really dumb reason to want a certain gender.

DP.  Your post is really dumb.  You completely ignore most of what OP said, including her main reason for wanting another boy.  [/quote]
