I honestly thought without a doubt I was carrying a boy. I knew her as a boy and I prayed for her as a boy. I was so sure that I could have made my announcement even before I had the sonogram.
But I honestly didn't think I was having a son because I wanted a son more then a girl. I just had strong feelings and confirmations. To be honest having a son scared me a bit.
I know it sounds so silly but it's true. It has always taken me a while to connect with boys/men and have only been able to connect with few. Maybe it's because I'm super girly? Who knows! But I didn't at all feel ready for a son. Maybe it was out of fear of not being able to connect with him because I want to connect and have an amazing relationship with all of my children. So when I found out I was having a girl I was not only excited, I was a bit relieved.
I was having another girl, a best friend for Evelynne and that excites me so much! I know without a doubt that it's in God's plan for me to have a son down the road. He's given me so many confirmations. And I believe without a doubt I'll be ready for a little man who will capture my heart in a special way.. Who knows, maybe after two girls, I'll be on my knees begging God for a son who loves jumping in puddles and catching bugs. LOL It'll defiantly be something God will have to prepare me for.
But before I end I am just going to mention again just how excited I am to be having a little girl! Raising little besties, collecting more hair bows, and enjoying all the sweet and beautiful things girls have to offer.
I am right there with you mama! I have a daughter & another daughter on the way! I actually swore they both were boys. We want to evenually have a son, but God know what he is doing. My daughters will grow up close in age, only two years apart. & they will be besties for sure! & I also am kinda scared of having a son, even though we want one. Maybe it is because I am a woman and I am already raising a daughter.
ReplyDeleteI was totally opposite, I really wanted another boy cause I know boys, girls frighten me. But I am so glad that I had a girl! Watching my husband with her...so amazing the relationship they already have!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet post! Congratulations on your baby girl on-the-way! I just put my sweet little toddler-man down to bed :) Having a son has definitely been an adventure!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit intimidated by raising a girl possibly in our future, but that is mainly because of the things I hear others say "boys are harder at first, then girls are harder in the teen years"... yadda yadda. I'm not sure if that's true or not, so I would rather find out for myself!
Ultimately, a healthy baby is the best blessing in the world! Though I would be lying if I said I didn't hope for some pink dresses and pig tails in our future :)
