For those following my blogs, you know that I have two beautiful boys, Jeffrey (4) and Tyler (6 days).  My parents have 8 grandchildren which is a blessing.  However, all 8 are boys.  You have got to see our get togethers.  Boys can really play rough.

I remember when I told my mom that my second child was going to be a boy.  She told me that she was very happy and that all that mattered was that he was healthy.  I believe her but I know that some part inside her wishes for a granddaughter.  Having two boys is a true blessing.  Believe me when I say that I did not care one way or the other if it was a boy or girl.  There are thousands of women out there who try desperately just to have a child that they cannot have.  Who am I to be upset over the gender?

But whenever there is a family gathering, we always hear the comments, "so who is going to have the first girl?"  As if it's a competition.  My parents had 4 girls and 2 boys so I guess nature decided that she's had enough girls around her.

My brother just announced that his wife is pregnant.  Here we go again.  I told him he needs to be prepared for the jokes about whether it's going to be a girl or boy.  Well, I know what my parents are hoping for secretly.  All I know is that if it is a girl, poor her.  She either will have to learn to be a tom boy in order to hang out with her cousins or learn to play alone.   But one thing is for sure, she will be spoiled.
