Comments on: Uncharted territory

When I was pregnant with my first, I couldn’t envision myself having a boy. They couldn’t confirm the baby’s sex during ultrasounds because the hand was covering the pieces parts (they joked that it must be a boy, ha ha). I just KNEW that she was a girl. Boys were unfamiliar territory to me. I didn’t want a boy. I didn’t even pick out a boy’s name. Sure enough, my little princess was born.

3 years later, I found out I was having a boy. I felt the same as you do now, excited, but unsure. I have to say…it’s more than having enough love for another. I love my daughter with all of my heart. BUT, I have to say, there is definitely something special about a baby boy. It’s impossible to put into words. It’s something I never anticipated. My daughter is a little “mini me”, but my son, he rocks my world.
Enjoy!

We were thrilled when we found out we were having a boy (and then later when the other one came along), but then I was scared because I didn’t have a clue what to do. Assvice that I learned the hard way? Beware the poop shower just as much as the golden one (and frankly, I’ve not had many golden showers, and I have a theory about that regarding circumcision, but this isn’t the place for that).

Boys are awesome. I love all my kids equally, but there are days when I like my boys the best. There’s just something about boys. You’ll love it.

I had two girls and then a boy. I will say that when I found out I was having a boy I was a little worried, but I love him so much! It is great to be able to say that you get to experience both a son and daughter as many people don’t get that experience. And I have to agree there is nothing that compares to the way your little boy is going to love you. Mine is 7 and he still thinks the world of me.

I was one of three sisters. Most of my cousins were girls. My first baby was a girl. So when the sonogram revealed boy parts, I sat there, stunned, while Hubs shot up from his chair and yelled, “YEAH!”

But my boy — oh, nothing like I expected. He’s so loving and snuggly and adoring.

(eek. i sound like of those doting MILs we all fear.)

I always thought that girls were sweeter or cuddlier than boys. Although I don’t have a girl for comparison, I can tell you my boy is pretty cuddly.

You have a lot to look forward to.

I adore my son in many ways. To see such an independent, hilarious boy still look towards his mom for affirmation and love is wonderful. You will enjoy this experience as much as having Tacy & CJ. It will be different in ways, but much the same as well.

Everyone beat me to my comment. Boys are “Mamma’s Boys” all the way. It’s really great. I think I have a deep-seated need to be the “favourite” though…:-)

I’m not sure what this next one is going to be. I used to think that I wanted one of each, but now, I think that having 2 boys would be pretty damn fantastic.

I was in shock when we discovered we were having a boy – EVERYONE in my family has girls. But it’s been awesome.

Oh, and by the way – did I tell you Dex got a huge sword + gladiator outfit for his birthday???

It will be an adventure…but you’ll handle it. I only have 1 boy, but he’s been a trip!!! Many differences that I get to compare to my friend’s who have all girls.

From the stuff he comes up with to the gross things he collects….he’s all boy I love him!
