Although mine is only 5, so I don't have as much experience as you do, but I was TERRIFIED when they said "it's a boy!!". I did not know how to be a mom to a boy, I'm a GIRL! I survived, still am, and having SO much fun! Who knew that mud and worms could make the best afternoon?<br /><br />If you decide to continue to build your family, I hope you get to raise a girl. If not, your son will be surrounded by LOTS of boy stuff aka farts, burps and jumping off walls ;o)<br />*HUGS*Beautiful Messhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425541240465474148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678310.post-63255756068964196762009-06-09T20:26:03.975-05:002009-06-09T20:26:03.975-05:00you are outnumbered.

So I thought raising a girl would be much easier than raising a boy.<br /><br />Not because of gender, but because of personality, I have found the opposite to be true.<br /><br />No matter how gender neutral we tried to be, their hard-wiring comes through.

Would like a girl so i have an excuse to play barbies with her and get all the girly clothes but you know what ?? I couldn't afford it there are just so many adorable clothes and all the barbies to choose from. My sons have never cared if they were in jeans and t-shirts everyday. but if i do have another i would be happy with a girl but raising two boys i can't imagine i would know how to raise a girl. so really i would love another boy i have that one figured outAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678310.post-89867310922168132642009-06-09T11:03:07.832-05:002009-06-09T11:03:07.832-05:00I have 2 boys and a girl.

A child being loved - boy or girl. <br /><br />I'm mother to 2 girls and Cute boys's children are also girls.

As long as we love them and do the best we can, who cares.<br />That being said, I'm sure Christa would let you borrow a girl for a bit if you need a fix.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173605745844568910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678310.post-85134291136067456652009-06-09T09:57:49.197-05:002009-06-09T09:57:49.197-05:00Well said!

I can live on both sides of the fence, per se: girly-girl or tomboy. <br /><br />Now I have 5 nieces and 1 nephew (poor guy! lol) -- I prefer to "raise" girls as that's where I'm comfortable :) but I do make special effort to do "guy" things with my nephew.Mearihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080474930910254503noreply@blogger.com
