We would love to have a girl..but we would be happy to have a third son. I'm more worried about handling three children. My children's ages are 31 months and 14 months.

My experiance is that after adjusting to two children the third is far easier. My loves ( 5 3 and 2 yrs old respectfully) are quite close in age. With two boys and a little girl. After my daughter was born I stumbled with task of rasing a toddler and a new born. it literaly took me months to be ableto get to the corner store with both kids inside of 2 hours on my own! AFter the birth of my youngest I was flying 800 miles to visit family on the coast when he was only 6 weeks old. Just keep in mind that two toddlers can cause quite alot of trouble in a 20 min breastfeeding session! I think that raising both sexes has it's pros and cons. Wichever choice you make I wish you luck!

I have 4 children- they are all boys and I have to say 2 were good 4 are good but 3 was not so good.....someone is always the odd man out. Uneven numbers fo rtemas and someone always feels left out or picked on- at least with four they can team up in two's. Maybe if they had been girls and boys instead of all the same it would have been different. Good Luck- every child is different yours may be just great together. Once you have 2 kids you can have 20 and the work doesn't seem to be that much more. I will be having my 5th and final baby next year....odd number again- I'm hoping because the age gap will be so big this time it will be different.

Well first of all I love my children but man is it stressful I have a 7 year old boy a 2 year old girl and a 9 month old son. If I were you I would wait a little bit before having another one you should also think of how you are going to get through a pregnancy right now with 2 small children. my boys are pretty well behaved but my little girl is a PILL she doesn't listen AT ALL!! I've tried everything she was 18 months when I had my son and she gets very jelous if we take something away from her she will hit her little brother because she is mad at me. Don't get me wrong she is also very sweet when she want's to be, and VERY cute (she uses that to her advantage) but it is very dificult so if you don't want any sleep for the next 2 years and non stop stress than go ahead but it is very difficult no time to rest because at least one if not all is ussually doing something they're not supposed to be doing (like as this minute my daughter is getting into my purse and is now playing with the printer)I am also going to college too so that is difficult with 3 kids But I wish you luck and pleeeeeeeease think real hard before making any rash decisions. But everything is doable you just have to get organized and on the good side if your having a bad day at least one of them will cheer you up!

I have 3 boys ages 8, 3, 8months, and I'm pregnant with my fourth I love my boys they are all a lot of fun. They keep me busy that's for sure. Three children are not bad, it depends on you. How is your patients? Being that close together you'll have your hands full. I wanted a girl more that anything so i tried for my last child praying everyday for this one to be a girl. Guess God figured I wasn't meant for one. What I'm trying to say is if you want to try for a third cause you want to try for a girl don't let your heart be set on one thing cause you may be disappointed. Look at the hole picture I'm sure it will come to. God won't give you more than you can handle. Good Luck

I have a 9 1/2yr old boy, 6 yr old boy (today is b-day) and pregnant w/ my 3rd son now (35wks & 3days)-they keep telling me it's a boy with the ultrasounds, man if they are wrong-I got a lot of returns to make to the store & tomorrow is my shower my girlfriends are having for me. We had hoped for a girl, but our main concern is that we have a healthy baby. We will take what the good lord gives us.

good lord! personally i know i cannot handle more then one kid in a diaper. so all my kids are spaced out. i have two boys, 8 years and 4 years and expecting my third in January. i heard that regardless of space in ages, the hardest transition is from 1 child to two. once you have a third it's all easy. and it's gets even easier as you have more. i sure hope so because my husband may want one more after this one.

I had a girl and then two boys, not all in diapers at the same time but my sister has three and two are in diapers and she is so stressed out and quite bitchy anymore, but whatever makes you happy, if you know for sure you can handle it and won't take your stress out on your kids then enjoy

My first wife and I had three boys over 10yrs.. the middle boy considered himself shortchanged in the attention department. The third one was supposed to be a girl. good luck..
