"I bet you want a girl this time"
Oh my, I can't tell you how many times I have heard this. I'm not complaining, or disagreeing. I would love to have a girl. I just don't know what I would do with her.
I have some pretty strong feelings about women, women's rights and the role of Catholic women in particular. I don't think it would be easy to be my daughter. Its probably not easy to be my son.
It would be nice to have a little pink in our house (or my mom's house). In particular I have some pretty grand ideas for Baptismal Gowns and First Communion dresses. But thats no reason to have a daughter.
More than anything I am just happy to be blessed with another one. Blue or Pink I just pray for another healthy sweet little baby that will fit right in with the other two. I always thought of myself as a boy's mom and so far thats been the case. Next week we will find out if the streek continues.
So go tell John I love my boys and will take however else God will bless us.
great attitude and very exciting either way! if you do have a girl it's great to know the little lady will have an empowering moma. we need more women like you raising girls. (and boys)
