Answer:
The answer for both of you, is that this matter is in the Hands of Allah, you cannot prevent nor make it happen, but pray for righteous offspring, boys and girls. Sayyida Hanah bint Faqudha was praying constantly for a son,
إِذْ قَالَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُ عِمْرَٰنَ رَبِّ إِنِّى نَذَرْتُ لَكَ مَا فِى بَطْنِى مُحَرَّرًا فَتَقَبَّلْ مِنِّىٓۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
[Mention, O Muhammad], when the wife of ‘Imran said, “My Lord, indeed I have pledged to You what is in my womb, consecrated [for Your service], so accept this from me. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing.” (Aal-e-`Imran 3:35)
She was surprised to give birth to a girl, but per her oath, she placed her daughter Sayyida Maryam in the Temple to become a devotee of Allah swt and Sayyida Maryam (as) became a Siddiqa and the mother of Prophet `Isa (as). Allah knows best.
