I have 2 boys.
I always wanted at least one girl before i had children and i thought that i wouldn't care what the first one was, but if it was a boy the second pregnancy I would find out the gender so I would be over any disappointment before the baby was born.
It didn't turn out that way at all.
My first pregnancy I was convinced I was having a girl, and everyone told me I was having a girl and I really wanted to believe it (I didn't find out the gender from U/S, this was just my own thinking).
I had a boy. When they said you have a boy I said I am so suprised I thought it would be a girl. We didn't have a boys name, I call the baby "baby" for a bit when my mom called the baby his name is sounded so strange to me because for so long I had thought of the baby as the girls name we picked out. Soon I was calling the Baby Chosen boys name. I would never have admitted it at the time, but I was idsappointed on some level and mourned my lack of a daughter, and that I would ever have a daughter. I can admitted it now that it has been almost 4 years. I certainly didn't love my son any less, but it does take a bit of time to wrap your head around it, when you have so throughly convinced yourself of one thing.
The second pregnancy I was not so set one way or the other, but thought it likely we would have a boy. When they said its a boy I was so happy because we couldn't agree on a girls name this time, and now we wouldn't have to. I was also happy that my other son would have a brother. I honestly believe that it is my destiny to only have boys. When I look at my husbands family there are a lot more boys than girls. If we do have another child and it was a girl I would be very shocked!!!
I don't mind it now, but I think as they boys get older I will miss certain things like shopping with a daughter. (but some daughters hate shopping with there mothers), picking out a graduation dress, wedding dress, those special things things that you only do with a daughter. I think on some level it is easier to have a son-in-law than daughter in laws, especially when you become a grandmother. You can speak freely with a daughter, not so much with a daughter-in-law. I know I will niss htose things and it is normal to mourn that a bit.
The good things about having boys, 2 boys are so rough and tumble. It is fun to watch how they interact. I think there will be less drama with friends as they get older. Girls are so mean to each other when they are 12-13 years old, and I will missall the mother daughter emotional intensity of puberty. Sure boys go through that as well, but I think there is more drama when you are a teen from mom to daughter and son to father. I remember how much I hated my mom when I was 13-14 years old! The differnce between my mom and me and me and my children is that because I started later I will probably go through menopause at the same time a daughter goezs through puberty, probably not an easy thing.
I think what ever you get in life, you just learn to adapt and soon it will feel right, like this is what was ment to be.
