Am I excited to be having a baby boy? You bet. I absolutely cannot wait to see what this "mother-son" dynamic is all about. All of my friends who have little boys have reiterated that little boys LOVE their mommies.
But at the same time, I'm a little sad that we're not having a fourth daughter. I know girls. Four girls sure would've made dividing things easier, too. Two and two in the bedrooms, no stacking necessary. Now I have twenty-five huge Rubbermaid boxes full of girl clothes won't get any additional wear and tear.
Things are going to be lopsided. Harrison will always have his own room, never having to share with a sibling. Are my girls going to resent that? If they're anything like their mother they will at some point. My sister and I had to share while my brother got his own room. Most of the time I didn't mind sharing a room with my sister - but there were some days that she and I wished we each had our own rooms. Going back to the twenty-five boxes full of clothes - Harrison won't have to share a closet. That won't work. Three girls put all their clothes in one closet? It'll never happen. Little dude better learn to expect to see some pink dresses in his closet for a few years. As long as he doesn't try to wear them himself, I really don't care. ;)

The dynamics of having a child....the emotions....the learning....the balance....it is all so interesting. When I found out Alexa was a girl, I didn't believe it till 28 weeks when I was told AGAIN, she is still a girl. I actually cried at 20 weeks when they told me. Then when I had Aubree, found out it was a girl, I knew it was a girl and was OKay about it....thinking she was my last baby, I just accepted Asher would be my only boy....then Andrew....unplanned, unexpected....found out BOY and I SHOULD HAVE been thrilled (and I WAS), it was going to be BALANCED, perfectly 2 and 2, Asher would have a brother and a sister, etc., but part of me was also sad I wasn't having another girl. I wanted a housefull of boys, so it was odd for me to feel that way....in any case....just want you to know you're not alone in the emotions of it all. As for the boys loving their mommas, YES, the love from Asher seems so much stronger than the love from Alexa and Aubree....it is strong, it is powerful, and I am glad you are experiencing this new life, this new love, God is good.
Hugs to you my friend!

UGH! Momma worries :( It is never ending, I worry that Ava will be upset that she is the only one with blue eyes...after I prayed & prayed for a daughter that even resembled me in the slightest, LOL!
Oh wow! Congrats on adding a boy to the family! :) Sorry about all those boxes of pink clothes though LOL! I bet the girls are going to be crazy about him!
Congratulations on expecting a boy. After two girls, I can definitely empathize with your mixed feelings. Exciting... but scary since all you know is girls!
