So for the most part it was a pretty uneventful day today. I did begin wishing for a boy for the first time, though. I've been fairly neutral, but today I was leaning toward a boy. As we were getting ready for church this morning, Damon was on the useless side. I don't mean that in an ugly way...just in a male way. He told me that he would help, but I needed to pick out her outfit, socks, shoes and bow and he would dress her. For Pete's sake, I might as well do it myself. Oh yeah...and I would have to fix her hair. I can't imagine having two little girls and him not being able to do anything. He's lazily eating a bowl of cereal, watching TV and I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off and had to eat breakfast in the car. Last I checked I am pregnant and I might not fight all day nausea if I could EAT! Then at lunch, we were at the table for no more than 10 minutes and I heard, "Mommy, I need to go potty!!" Why don't I just take her before we even sit down? THEN...5 minutes after we get back to the table, I hear it again! I think the 2nd time was just a way to not have to finish eating because she didn't 'go', but you never can tell and it isn't exactly the type of thing you want to take a chance with! At least if we have a boy, Damon could split the potty breaks with me. I was telling my sister about this and she totally burst my bubble by saying that most likely the baby will want Mommy to do it, so it won't matter anyway. Figures!
Really, though...I would be totally happy with a boy or a girl. Part of me wants another girl, because Rylee was sooooo much fun! Plus it would be cheaper because I have all the girly stuff and my sister has a lot of hand-me-downs. I would also LOVE for Rylee to have a sister as wonderful as mine! We have a name picked out for a girl, too... No clue for a boy. On the flip side, a boy would probably be easier and it would be different and fun in an all new way. A healthy baby is ALL we ask for. I know that is a tall order, but MY GOD is able!! Whatever He decides to give us will be perfect and just what our family needs!!

Well here's my two cents for what it's worth! Boys are MUCH easier in the beginning. But then it all changes as the girls hit their teens. Not to say that boys don't pose challenges but watching my daughter start dating... and telling a boy she loves him... SCARY!!! Plus, you know how we have the whole "Daddy's little girl" saying? Well their needs to be an equivalent for mother's and sons. There's a very special relationship there that is simply indescribable.
ReplyDeleteI love Katie dearly... she is my first and my only daughter which makes her unique and special to me. But I love my sons dearly as well. There's just something about boys... :)
Good luck! Either way, you will certainly be blessed.
Well, we have a boy name picked out but not a girl, so go figure! About those potty trips....Matthew tries to take Rose sometimes, but the men's restrooms are so nasty he never actually gets to let her use one. It doesn't seem to matter where we are! Texas Roadhouse, Applebee's, Target....he can only take her if there is a family restroom like at the mall because those seem to be cleaner most of the time. So, good luck with that pipe dream (at least until the boy could stand and use it!)
ReplyDeleteStill miss you a lot!
A boy might be easier...but girls are still more fun. We complain about the hair and the bows and all that girly stuff...but you know it's worth every minute when perfect strangers go gagga over them :)
