What do you want to have as a first child, a girl or a boy?

I know some couple who prefer to have a boy as their first child. They have their personal reasons for saying so. There are also some who want to have a girl first. But for us, whether it is a girl or boy, we will love the child as it is given to us by God. How about you?

its fine with me either it may be a boy or girl, as long as the baby is healthy and strong when he/she coms out of this world. thats whats most parents pray about right?! but its more wondeful if you could have twins, a girl and a boy! then that woudl truly be enough for me. a complete set of children of your own. jhelai

I actually had twin, friend. But my pregnancy did not materialized. The babies had no heartbeat. We still waited several weeks but still, nothing happened. So my OB-gyne advised me to had a D&C operation which I did. A year after that, I was blessed with a baby boy. :)

Well, I already have my first child and its a boy. Personally, I would want a boy for my first child. So having my first boy was sort of a dream come true. But if ever my first child was a girl, I would love her just the same.

For me it really doesn't matter. Like you, whichever God has given me, i'll take it. Personally, i prefer a boy because i want him to exercise his authority to his younger siblings and to be able to protect them. But then, i guess it all depends on my future wife. Whichever she wants, it's fine with me. I believe most ladies want a baby girl. It's fine with me. I really don't have problems with the gender of my future baby. As long as she is healthy and grows up to be a fine man or a lady, it's all good!

Oh I would definitely say the same thing, I would be thankful with my whole heart if God blessed us with kids. Be it a boy or a girl, it does not matter to me because it is still a big blessing from God. I myself have been anticipating, and I am not losing hope that someday soon we will have our own child. Although I don't stress so much to think about it because they say that the more you want, to more it does not happen so I better stay cool and chill for quite some time. I know that it will come just at the right time and God knows when. Baby dust to all who wants to have babies just like me

Well, I'm obviously going to love my first child very much regardless of its gender. I kind of want a girl first because my hubby doesn't think he can raise a girl and it would freak him out and I think it's kind of funny that he would be a little freaked out. But it would be good because he would learn how to relax with girls and that would work out rather well. :) But, again, I would still love it unconditionally even if it was a boy. ^_^

Hahaha. :) You made me laugh with your response friend - I can imagine the scene and your husband's face when you have a baby girl. :) Anyways, you are correct. No matter what the gender is, we should love the child unconditionally. :)

Hi, I know couples are the same way. They want one or the other. For me personally, I look forward to the day that I am blessed with a child and won't care which I have. I believe that children are a gift and a blessing from God so when the time comes all I really want a have a healthy baby. Either boy or girl, the baby will have so much love. Happy myLotting!!
