Too Bad Its Not A Girl

I'm hearing that a bunch with pregnancy number two. Along with, "oooh, were you hoping for a girl?" Another favorite, "a big brother/big sister combination would have been perfect." Then there's the icing on the cake comment, "are you guys going to try for a girl next?" 

Here's the deal friends, while many in our family were pulling for team girl, I was secretly pulling for team boy. I like being a boy mommy. I know how to do it. Hold on, let me go file that under things I thought would never say! 

When I was pregnant with T, I felt like I was having a boy but I wanted a girl. I wanted a girl only because I am a girl and well, I know what to do with girl parts, etc. As soon as the nurse said "outdoor plumbing" and my sister explained what that meant, I was thrilled and I've been thrilled ever since.

I like boy stuff. I like boy snuggles. I like boy shows and their little boy jammies. I like not braiding hair. I like 5 minute haircuts. I like the boy business and I'm happy to be sticking with it. 

I love looking at sweet little girl babies and sometimes will catch myself cooing at a sweet little girl outfit. But am I disappointed? No way! That would be like complaining about my height. It is what it is and I'm glad it has turned out this way.  I really just want a healthy baby to hold and share our love. 

So no, I was not hoping for a girl. No, we will not be trying again. No, a big brother/little sister combination is not perfect for us, a big brother/little brother combination is. We are a family of boys and this mommy likes it!
