Boys are a blessing because....

 Please share your stories moms of boys! I so desperately want to find joy with my boy bundle. Being a mother of a precious 2 year old girl is fogging my ability to fathom life with a little boy.

I know having both genders is considered lucky by most, truth is...not everyone wants the PP either lol.

obviously, I understand all babies are blessings and miracles. im just looking for a little inspiration!

thanks in advance!!!!

 

I am sorry to say this but there is absolutely no difference between a baby boy and a baby girl, except for what is between their legs.  That is something that you need to get over.  I am sorry that sounds harsh but its the truth.

I have had GD, but the source of my GD is not the fact that I was having a boy, but the fact that I still wanted another dayghter and my DH wanted to stop.

I am usually understanding , but your post really rubbed my the wrong way, referring to your daughter as "precious" and inferring that a little boy is so inferior.

I have both, also, but had my boy first. Both of them were just the sweetest babies.  Both of them slept through the night early (at 3 months) and both even weighed the same.  Truthfully, the only major difference for babies is the clothes.  Everyone will buy blue for the boy and pink for the girl.

I see my son (and daughter) as a blessing because they both look me in the eye, smile, and know I am their mommy and love them.  They are just so happy to see my husband and me.  They know we are there for them.  Thats the truth, the blessing of any child.  I know having the opposite sex that you had before may seem intimidating, but just take it one day at a time, and his own unique personality will come out especially as time goes on.  He will be your little boy just as your daughter is your little girl, and when you see him smile and hear him laugh, you will see him as the blessing he is.  ANd you daughter will too even though they will fight (mine do already ).   I am not sure how long you have before your little one arrives, but enjoy the pregnancy!  They go fast :-)

What's your fear in having a son? There's nothing different b/w little boys and little girls except for some ananmotical differences. They both have their precious moments and will bring times where they will drive you up a wall. As much your daughter is the light of your eyes, I'm sure she has her moments as well that can drive anyone batty...it's just part of being a kid, and rarely do anyone have a sweet precious child who always behaves and obeys 100%, unless you are way too lucky. I was never like that, my brother was not either but I'm sure we're the biggest joys in our parents lives.

 Boys and girls are the biggest joys in their parents' lives because they are children and all children are special.

I was you, so I understand. :-)  And guess what? I now have TWO boys!  So I'm GBB.  Trust me, when it's YOUR son, suddenly everything about boys is sweet and adorable. I promise.  I can say that with hindsight which makes it easier. But just focus on keeping your mind open to the possibility that I'm right. And don't let it ruin your pregnancy - that's what will make you mad down the road.  I swear it'll be ok - I can't imagine NOT raising a son at this point, after having been the person who wanted two girls, and two girls only. Life sometimes has other plans for us, and I'm sure that part of my problem was having life not go as expected for me. I am used to having a goal and achieving it. So to have plans go otherwise was probably more of the issue than gender was.  A year from now, you'll be the person telling other moms that it's ok - just like me. :-)

I haven't had my daughter yet, but I do have 4 sons.  I figured if DH and I ever did go ahead and have kids I would want 2 girls (I didn't want an only... my DH is an only), so it was rough coming to terms with #1 being a boy because I was so sure he was a girl.  Then, I just kept having more boys.  Now, I am worried about a girl being as good as my boys.  I see so many friends having problems with their daughters, that they have me worried because my little boys are just the sweetest, cuddliest little creatures you can imagine.  They definitely have their moments where you go "what was I thinking?" but all kids are like that.

Pardon me BUT my daughter IS precious to me. At no point did I say that a boy would be "inferior" to a girl.

"Being a mother of a precious 2 year old girl is fogging my ability to fathom life with a little boy." 

 I just cannot imagine how it is to raise a little boy. Hence the request for a little "inspiration"

Wow, unreal.

 

 

To everone else, thank you for the kind words!

I agree when I read that post, I didn't take it that you were saying anything like that either. I can somewhat relate, I'm not pregnant yet, but I have a nearly 2 year old DD who I just adore. We'd love a sister for her, but when the time comes and if it is a boy, I know it'll be different. I totally get where you're coming from :)

Thanks Krystal!

Im glad my post didnt offend you lol.

I am getting over the boy after girl shock lol. At least my girl will be "the girl" and we can have our special girl time etc!

I really am scared of the "unknown" with a boy lol. I dont have the greatest examples in my family....they scare me lol

I know not all boys are the same (thankfully!!!!)

My cousins kids almost prevented me from having kids at all lol....terrors! Even the girls lol One of the girls is a total snob "think mean girls" and she has been that way since two (8 now) .... I go out of my way to avoid her....yes she is THAT bad.

The "boys" (twins, 6) have finally mellowed out a bit but due to some less then stellar parenting, they were very destructive and would beat up an old lady for fun....(not in a mean way, but just too rough)

I have learned how NOT to parent children by wathcing my family! Sounds harsh but they (girls too) rule the domain no matter where they are. the "parents" dont even bother to watch them when at family parties with the attitude "someone else will handle it" ...apparently, family aprties mean free babysitting? ugh lol.

So far I have been the polar opposite, hopefully my kids will be well mannered and respectful. Please please pleas lol

I can say that two of the girls are very well behaved, as is 1 of the 4 boys. But omg how the others scare the poop out of me!

 My DH and I would leave with headaches and stop for condoms after a birthday party before we had our daughter HAHAHAHA

There you go...so what makes a boy any different than a girl? :). There are good and sweet boys and girls and very bratty, mean boys and girls. Besides you are in control of your children, not anyone else. They will be what you mold them to be. So instead of fearing of a boy, go enjoy that little man! He'll be just as awesome as your daughter! If you have a precious little girl as you say, no doubt you will have a precious little boy! 

 

I agree that when they are little the only difference is between their legs and its their personality that defines who they are. But I am feeling loved up with my boys tonight and wanted to share :) they can be so lively, loud, rough & tumble but they can be incredibly loving too. Eldest is 4, he is always saying he loves his family and he loves me to the moon (or space, or the sea, or pizza hut!). He makes a space in his bed and tells me what is where his baby brother is going to sleep when he arrives. He helps his younger brother into the house when he has fallen over outside and is crying, he let's him wear his very favourite buzz light year pjs because it makes him so happy. My youngest is 2, he lifts my t shirt, kisses my bump and tells me he loves the baby. He puts his arms around me and hugs me so tight while planting a sloppy kiss on me :) he idolises his big brother and is always over the moon when he finishes school, he raids the cupboard for a chocolate biscuit but always brings me and his brother one too ;) I am finally getting excited abour meeting my 3rd son and see what wonderful things he does too :)

tealover your eldest sounds just like my first son too (just turned 5). So sweet and kind and caring and patient and quiet. My oldest spends ages making trainsets or quietly colouring in or playing a game, he is lovely and always tells me how much he loves me and that I am beautiful and he loves my hair :-). My second son is a whirlwind of energy who makes life so much fun because he is so cheeky but so snuggly and loves cuddles. My third son is a sweet mama's boy who follows me everywhere (crawling!). His eyes light up when he sees me and he gives me a big gummy grin. I don't understand this particular type of GD as I always wanted one of each gender but the same way that you find your daughter adorable you will find your son. I'm sure a lot of your fear is from having a second child full stop because when we have one baby that we adore to such lengths, it is hard to imagine anyone else could live up to them or we could love them as much. Mummy hearts are magic though. We don't have to split our heart in two (or more) when we have more than one child, rather our heart swells to twice (or more!) the size we need to accommodate all our children. I don't doubt for a second that you will be back after the birth of your son telling us how wonderful he is and we will be congratulating you. Children are just magic. Girl or boy!

Boys ARE a blessing...one that I, sadly, will probably now never have!

I would give my right arm for a son...

ahh hunny, I totally get where you are coming from. I have a 3 year old daughter, and a 4 month old son. I had no idea what I was going to do with a boy after having a girl. Thought I wouldnt relate, have no interest in him and I worried that he would be interested in things I didnt care about so would probally hate me.

But then I had him and gosh he has rocked my world! I love that little fella to bits and none of those things worry me anymore. Compared to my daughter he is a dream baby (DD was super difficult as a baby) has slept through from a few weeks old, nothing seems to worry him unless he is hungry and is super chilled out.

I would have a zillion more of him. He is just the sweetest. And you baby will be too. Once he arrives you wont even care about whats between his legs.

You are so right! When I was expecting number 2, I couldn't understand how I could possibly love this child as much as I loved my firstborn. A wise friend of mine said that a mother's heart does not divide when another child is born, it multiplies. And that was so true! I was amazed that I felt the same huge amount of love for my new baby as i did my first born. I am not worrying about it this time because I am excited that the love will multiply again!
