Directly younger than me are three boys. I was grateful for a sister, but she was more of a Tom boy than my three brothers together. We survived! I am also the mother of three (soon-to-be four) boys. I have two daughters. They have learned to get along, and I love having daughters, too. Best wishes on your decision to try for a girl or not! Only you and your husband can decide that! P.S. I have cousins--Three boys followed by several girls. Those boys were very protective of their little sisters. They interviewed/scared prospective dates, etc.! I am the oldest of seven children.

They are a little older than yours, I think. Mine are 12, 9, and 5. Yes, the testosterone seems to grow and grow and grow! I fear for a girl if we have one at this point. I fear that the testosterone is so predominant in our household that she would end up absorbing it. She would have to be pretty tough to cope with three rough-housing rabble-rousers. Then again, would that be so bad? A tough, brave girl who is willing to fight for what she wants? As you can see, I waver from one side to the other fairly freqently. :-) BTW - I come to you from Crazy Hip Blogger Moms. I, too, have three boys. They are a little older than yours, I think.
