eradan:
Just wanted to say to southernwife your picture is so beautiful, I have many of those pictures of when my boys were smaller.....they are 8 & 7 now, already I look back and I am so sad those days are gone.

I too agree boys are so wonderful, we forget sometimes don't we? My boys are very easy, I don't understand why people say they are so hard!!!

thank you so much! i have a ton of pics! my sons are actually really close in age, but my youngest has a rare type of dwarfism, that we are in the process of treating, so he is short statured :) lol, i love taking pics of them . they the best thing i have ever did in life! haha

I have 5 DS s pg w a DD now but I have a cousin that was never dissapointed whenever I announced it was another boy..s she helped me feel great about having all my boys :) I'm a Girly girl so I always always dreamed of my own daughter..my relationship w my mom was always daughter friend.. I just always wanted a mother daughter relationship ...now im very nervous about how that's going to go ...w my boys the relationships all came so naturally and easy..

Thank you for the kind words. My hubby and I have 4 boys and looks to be another on the way this November 11th. I must admit I am a very girly girl and I did hope for a girl to relate to and have that relationship. I am having a difficult time ..but I just have to accept it. People are so hard to deal with when they ask me are you ok with all boys ...or ughhh I can't believe it not one girl or when I told my mother she said oh..ok... It's very hard still.

i have two boys, and i am hoping this baby due in decemebr is a boy as well.it doesn't make any sence, but when i see a mother at a park, with more than 3 boys, i get so jealous, even though i have boys, its so weird. i know how you feel :(

Aaawww, well I'm with you (only I dream of just one ). I associate (some..NOT all...I wasn't) girls with being catty and bitchy and all the drama as you say. I want a boy very much....yes!, a handsome boy in my house to spoil sounds perfect! . Good luck to you all in getting your dream or .

My dream family was all boys and the number didn't matter, I never wanted a daughter. Here I have 3 DDs and will learn soon if it is another DD. I think I never wanted a DD because I was such a tom boy and never understood the girly girl stuff. I had to learn to accept it and love my DDs so much.

To ruby red: For me i just dont want all the drama i associate with girls. So and so took my barbie doll, i dont wana be ur friend anymore, etc etc. I am a very girly girl so people are surprised when i say i want boys only. Maybe because i grew up with so many neurotic and dramatic qualities i think i fear having to relive it through a daughter. I am not close to my mum perhaps that plays a part? I just think when i see boys ans their mums it seems so much happier. All outdoorsy, muddy, laughing and wrestling. Dont get me wrong i dont think boy mums have it easy...its just that to me it seems less complicated and fraught than the neurotic and way too emotionally charged relationship i had with my mum. Guess i wana be one of those outdoorsy mums watching my son play football and wrestle in the mud.

I think there are women ( myself included although I wanted a girl too) who can identify with boys better just as there are the girly types too. I grew up with brothers and male cousins and my mother died when I was young so I've never really had female influence. Although I have always wanted a girl, there is a part of me that is terrified of not giving her the female bond she needs because I'm not sure what a mother/daughter relationship is about. So I guess there are women out there that identify better with a certain gender but really I believe that as long as you love and protect your children that is all they need.
