SPINOFF on TTC for a boy or girl

What would be your ideal DC gender order and how many years apart?

I have a DS now and I want three kids. I was thinking my ideal gender order would be:

DS
DS
DD

I would like them 2 years apart each.

It's so tough to say. For me, it has changed drastically.

I initially wanted a girl to dress up and do all these girly tnings with, but now that I have DS, I couldn't even imagine what having a girl would be like.

So every assumes that I would want a girl for #2 to "make it even" but I think I would love DS to have another brother to be best friends with.

Then, I think I would definitely want a girl!

We have 2 boys and it's awesome. Now, I would love for the next baby (god willing we can get PG) to be a girl, but would be just as happy if it was another boy!

Re: SPINOFF on TTC for a boy or girl

I'd like 3 kids too. Ideally, they'll be no more than 2.5-3 years apart. I have a DS now. I'd love to have a girl at some point, but don't really care whether it's 2 girls and DS or 2 boys and a girl.

Re: SPINOFF on TTC for a boy or girl

I have a DS and people always assumed that this time around I would really be hoping for a girl. But that wasn't the case at all. I know we're done after this one and I was still secretly hoping for another boy, and that's what we're going to have!

Re: SPINOFF on TTC for a boy or girl

I have a DD now and we are hopefully TTC #2 soon so ideally they will be 2 years apart and I would LOVE to have another next. I think it would be awesome for Emerson to have a little sister so close in age. I would like 3 kids so hopefully the last one is a .

I have 2 siblings (I am the oldest) and my brother is in between my sister and I and because there is such an age gap between her and I we didn't really grow up that close. It would've been nice if my brother was born last but it didn't work out that way. I hope I have 2 girls then a boy.

Re: SPINOFF on TTC for a boy or girl

I can honestly say that for my first, I had no preference. I thought I would absolutely want at least 1 boy and 1 girl. I had DD first. For my second, I actually did have a slight preference and wanted another DD. Everyone else wanted a boy and assumed I did too, but I wanted another girl because I thought 2 girls so close in age would be really special. I am having another girl If I ever have another, I really have no preference for a boy or girl.

We have one DS who is 2, Id love another son when DS is 4 or 5.

Re: SPINOFF on TTC for a boy or girl

I had visions of a boy first, girl second and I got a girl first.

Now, I'd be happy with either as a second.

Re: SPINOFF on TTC for a boy or girl

I have a now and if we decide to try for #2 and are blessed, I would love to have another . At LEAST 3 years apart would be great - if not more. And to be honest, I am not even sold on the idea of having #2. I feel so blessed and fulfilled with DS already.

Re: SPINOFF on TTC for a boy or girl

I love my DS more than I ever could have imagined, but I do want a girl one day. We'll consider TTCing probably in a year or so. I want my little princess.

Re: SPINOFF on TTC for a boy or girl

BEFORE I had kids.. I wanted SEVEN of them. Yes. Seven. And I had it all figured out - B, B, G, B, G - and then twin girls. LOL!

After having a baby - I thought I would want 1 or 2 more. Ideally B, B, G - but if I stopped at 2 I thought B, G would be nice.. but secretly I loooove having 2 boys.
