No, it’s not what you think…I’ve been struggling with this question over the last few weeks. We’ve been discussing the infamous question…when do we have #2 and J. wants to research the best “ways” to conceive a girl. Well, a big part of me really would like to have a girl, but then neither child will have a same sex sibling. I grew up with my two brothers for 7 years before my sister came along and I hated not having another girl to play with all that time. So, the other part of me really wants to have a boy so that C. has a brother to play with….but I want a girl….but then C. won’t have a brother…but, but, but…
I know that in the whole scheme of things we have no control over whether we have a girl or boy, no matter what position, day of the week, or what we eat, but that motherly instinct wants to keep them from feeling like I did when I was a kid. I know that we will love and cherish another baby whether it’s a girl or boy….
And for those of you itching to ask, we don’t know when we are going to have #2.

OK, so you got me! I was holding my breath expecting the big news! In fact, we just heard some news of this nature for one of G.’s relatives so it would have been very fitting.
I totally know what you mean though too! I feel the same exact way. I desperately want to buy those furry hats, ruffle-bum tights and frilly dresses. I always thought I wanted all that because I never had a sister.
If you find any helpful hints in your research be sure to pass them along!

After the third girl, I’m pretty sure that there is no “definite” way to get a specific gender, trust me! And, speaking from experience, the chinese calendar, specific positions, certain foods, times of the month don’t matter either. You get what you get and I think that is the blessing of it. Good luck!
