So What Happened?

Survey says: 10 boys / 12 girls / 5 undecided

And the winner is.....

drumroll please.....

BOY!!!!

My oldest was a bit disappointed, because he had his heart set on a girl, and wanted to name her "Coffee Shop," but my middle son is happy to have a boy, who he wants to call "Baby Dill Pickles." My husband and I are actually kinda relieved, because we pretty much know what to expect with boys. I was getting worried that I'm not sensitive enough to mother girls. I think I'm meant to be a mom to boys. So yes, we're all happy, even my oldest came around after about 3 minutes.

Oh yes, and since we'll be saving THOUSANDS of dollars on girl clothes (I know I'd get carried away with it), I went this afternoon and bought myself 4 pairs of earings ;-)

...my oldest just came up with his alternative name, since it's a boy. "Baby Barber Shop"

girl.
My guess is a girl because you are asking it here and sound "excited."

ETA: at some point... are you going to give us a "so what happened" and TELL us, girl or boy?

I'm guessing your boys are going to have a little sister. And since you seem cheerful I assume all looked well on the ultrasound? And if the ultrasound did say girl............I've known people expecting a girl who were surprised by their bouncing baby boy. I also know a couple who had a high risk pregnancy with twins and went in for regular ultrasounds. The entire time they were told to expect two boys and decorated the nursery in a blue pilot/airplane theme because dad is a pilot. Guess what? They got one of each. Congrats whatever gender baby you have!

ETA: I don't think it says anything about your ability to parent a girl!
I look at it like this, God thinks you have done so well with the first three boys, he says, give that girl another!

Well, if it's a girl...she's really lucky to have 3 older brothers to "protect" her. I think it's a girl.

But, if it's a boy...boy are you going to be one busy and laid back M. by the time they get a bit older ;)
