I wished and hoped to have a boy first, and I did, and I would have been more than happy for our second baby to be a boy, but I was blessed with a little girl, she's 2 now, and is rougher and tougher than her big brother, but so girly at the same time :) We were to stop and 2 children but were surprised with baby number 3, another boy, whom i am so glad joined our little family....... Each of them has such a unique personality. I always had male friends growing up and love my 2 little boys, but now, I am so glad I have a daughter, so us girls can hang out together and share our own little girly world, just me and her, being that she is a middle child I am conscious that she has her own special place :) Oh I was SO SCARED of having a girl!!!

I wanted a boy for much the same reasons you wanted a girl. I was close in age to my brothers and my friends had always been boys and I was just more comfortable dealing with "boy" things. Of course once I had my daughter I was so happy to have my perfect little girl. Although I did buy her hot wheels and sign her up to play ice hockey!

I was scared to death because I knew my first child was a boy. My son comes from 6, 5 boys and I was sure he would be wild like all the stories I heard about my husband's family. My son is a joy, a delight, and an absolute instrument in God's kingdom, with his mom as a frequent student! I had a daughter later and I love the order of son first, daughter second. A wonderful post, and I love the look of your blog! Julie http://thesurrenderedscribe.blogspot.com/ I can so relate to this! I was scared to death because I knew my first child was a boy.

I would welcome a boy right about now...it's been a long summer and school starts in 2 days...2 will go on the bus and one will stay home for a few more years...she's going to be a gabber too...14 months old now. Blessings to you and your son! I was certain I was pregnant with boys twice and twice i was wrong…now i’m up to 3 girls…and honestly they talk my ear off and give me so much sass!

I have 2 girls and truth be told, being raised in a house with all boys (and being a tomboy myself), I was shocked when we saw the ultrasound with my first daughter. I think its an incredibly brave thing to say "what am I going to do with a...?" Beautiful post.

Yes, I too can relate. I had 2 girls first. They were wonderful, oh so wonderful. I thought "I'm so glad I had girls!" And I still am. But then I had a boy. He will be one year old on Wednesday. But I thought I couldn't relate to this little guy. I didn't want to change his diaper either. I didn't want to dress him up in sports clothes. How fun could that possibly be? But alas, he's my little buddy. I see his daddy in him and he amazes me everyday. I haven't gotten to see how it will be with all the peeing and other fun boy stuff (ie picking noses, being a stunt double, you know!) but I so look forward to it. He makes me laugh now...I know he will make me laugh later on in life too. Plus I feel so much love for him that I thought I didn't have. Boys and girls are both awesome in their own ways...and thank God for each of them. Boys–a noise with dirt on it!

I had the exact opposite experience. I always thought I would have a family full of boys and so far have had two girls. I wouldn't have it any other way. I love the "girly-ness" they bring out in me and I love watching my husband parent them. I thank God that he knows what he is doing and doesn't always give us what we think we want. How many blessings would we miss out on? This is a really beautiful post. I had the exact opposite experience. I always thought I would have a family full of boys and so far have had two girls.

I am the youngest of 4 girls. I was sure I wouldn't know what to do with my little boy; but he is soooo easy and fun and sweet and kissable. I did have the girl first, though. I guess God knew I would TOTALLY freak if I had the boy first. Being the youngest, I didn't know how to take care of babies either! Oh, I’m right there with ya, sister. I am the youngest of 4 girls.
