Im single, live alone and have 2 boys. I would LOVE a girl, but my goodness I couldn't possibly pet all those heads myself! My boys require constant attention from me and usually one hand is petting one head and the other hand petting the other head! hehe So I think Im going to have to hold off on getting another baby! But if you can handle that go for it!!! If I had someone else and they didnt care, Id have a girl too!!
