Af...I could have written this post almost exactly.<br /><br />After losing our firstborn son, and having a rainbow girl, I felt EXACTLY the same way about just wanting a baby. I was thrilled with a daughter because it helped me keep him and her separate in my heart and in my mind. I would be lying if I said I wasn't slightly disappointed that our third baby is a girl. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled now at the idea of "the girls" and "sisters", but I also very much wish I had the opportunity to raise a boy the way I dreamed of raising one for 9 months. And I have so many adorable boy things I was looking forward to him wearing.<br /><br />But yet, if we go for baby number four, it will be a few years from now and with an open mind. I'm sure we'll end up with three girls, which i also love the idea of. So much. <3Lj82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01067562341189588336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3576989325677664760.post-58088359390037021202014-01-31T13:48:01.379-06:002014-01-31T13:48:01.379-06:00I am a complete blog-stalker of yours and I love t...I am a complete blog-stalker of yours and I love this. I know *exactly* what you are talking about. We have a girl, then a boy, then a girl...then another girl. Believe it or not, WE get those comments. People feel sorry for my husband (i.e. 3 weddings!!!), but they're mostly sympathetic to our little boy. I assure people constantly that my husband is perfectly okay with the situation and that our son doesn't know any difference at all - and that he loves his sisters! I will admit that we initially wanted a boy to balance things out, but having two little girls together who are close in age is amazing. They are the best of friends (at ages 4 and 2) and I love the bond that they have. I also adore calling them the "little girls". <br />On a related note, after we had our son I was shocked at all of the people who mentioned having the "perfect family" to us. (We knew we wanted 4 kids, so we didn't even find out the genders until our 4th.) It caught me off-guard and my husband and I talked about how sad it was that these people who were dumb enough to make these comments to us might say something differently to those who didn't have both genders. Such a shame! Sorry you are having to deal with this. <br /><br /><br />And please keep blogging!sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10930692708242687789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3576989325677664760.post-85396703016744714022014-01-31T08:36:36.013-06:002014-01-31T08:36:36.013-06:00I love your blog a lot and could not agree with th...I love your blog a lot and could not agree with this post more! I have three boys and get that disappointed look from a lot of people, that my life must not be complete because I don't have a girl. Did I want the third (or first of second) to be a girl? I really did. I really wanted a girl but now I can't imagine my life any different. It never ever stops people from asking if we are having a fourth to "try" for that girl. My response is always "I am sure if we tried for a fourth it would be another boy". I feel like I get these comments on a regular basis and it really does blow my mind. If we could pick the sex of our baby we would have. But when people feel sorry for me for not having a girl, I just don't get it. I seriously wouldn't trade my life right now. Well, I might ask for a few more vacations without the kids, an uninterrupted nap, and eating a hot meal, but I wouldn't change the gender of my kids.
