On the forum that I am part of at babycenter.com, a lot of discussion goes on about what we "feel" like we are having. While those are gut feelings, a lot of the time they are based off of what you WANT to have. From what I could tell, it is pretty well split down the middle. I believe that in American society, we really do not have a prefrence as to what gender baby we have, or which gender comes first. Of course, we all like the "older brother" idea, but really, we don't care.

Of course, myself, I want a girl first. This is only because I want to dress her in cute little dresses and girl clothes are so much cuter than boy clothes. Eh, just my opinion though.
