It never crossed my mind, that I might have a boy?!?!? Boys are smelly and muddy. They throw things and somehow turn everything they get their hands on into a Sword or a Starwars Lightsaver. They have wee wee's that spray at you, and the only bubbles I will be having in my bubble bath, will be from their little boy toots. What do you mean I am having a f'n BOY!?!?!?
EVERYONE thought it was going to be a girl. Especially me! We already had 5 boys in our generation of family babies... It was time for a girl. When the ultra sound technician said "boy" my poor sister-in-law started crying. Excuse me?!?!? Why are you crying? Your not the one he is gonna pee on? As we all love her little boys SOOOO much, the thought of one more dirt digger was just to overwhelming for her. My husband has a photo of my face when the words came out. I look like someone just told me my childhood pet passed away. I decided that I needed to some how spin my attitude, as dressing the little guy up for tea parties, wasn't going over well with my husband.
I was hanging out with my nephew Breadon one afternoon and him and I were chatting about what he is most looking forward to in life. He of course said things like Legoland with his Granny, Riding his bike, College... Wait? What? College? "I want to go to UCLA like Uncle Scot". Oh! FYI my nephew is quite possibly the most brilliant child you will ever meet, and only he would be thinking about college at the tender age of 6. I shared with him that he didn't have to go to school in California. That he could go anywhere he wanted. New York, Texas, Washington... Places with snow, mountains, cities, his options were endless. Then... he said something that completely changed my thoughts on little boys. "But if I go to college far away, it will cost me tons of money to fly home and see my mom everyday after school". My heart melted. Little boys love their mommies this much?
So I start asking around. Apparently the bond between a mom and her son is that of which no father can ever comprehend. Little Boys ALWAYS want their mommies! Little boys eyes light up, just by their mom walking in the room. They always want to snuggle and story time before bed is with mom... not dad. Hmmmm. I kinda like the sounds of this. A little dude that is gonna love me forever? No matter how I look, feel, age?!?! What?!?!
This could be the greatest thing ever....
Haha, I love it! I am trying to become pregnant and I have to say, I think every woman feels the same way about wanting a girl. But, when it comes down to it, boy or girl, no matter what, he/she is yours to love forever! Boys are hilarious. They seem to run in my family too :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything! Once the little guy comes I am sure I will have many more wonderful stories to share! Thanks for the feedback and totally agree. 10 fingers, 10 toes and a beating heart is all we need!
ReplyDeleteKim I felt the same way...I wanted to dress my little girl up in pretty pink tutu's of course. After having a boy, I am sooooo in love with it you have no idea. There is nothing like a bond between a little boy and his Mama. At the end of the day though, boy or girl, all you will end up caring about is that they are healthy and happy...and of course they will love you forever no matter what.
ReplyDeleteOh and who says a boy can't wear a pink tutu?
I sooo wanted a closet just for head bands and tu-tu's!!! But I know I am gonna love him more than anything. I just can't wait to meet him. You little guy looks like an angel! MJ (Matty Jr.) I told Andrea we are coming home for three weeks in August. You guys should come to the lake for a play date! ;)
