Anyone who knows me well knows I want a boy too, I have no problem admitting this. Of course, I want a boy. In my mind….one of each is normal…it’s just “how it is.” I grew up with a brother…just the two of us, so the family dynamic for me was a boy and girl. I cannot help the fact that for my entire life that’s how I envisioned my own family would be. It is what it is. Of course there are other reasons I would love to have a boy, the experience of being able to love and raise a girl AND a boy, and of course, I know Mikey would LOVE a little boy to do “boy “ things with.
But, as much as I long for the opportunity to raise a boy too, I have gotten excited about the prospect of Collins having sisters; something I never experienced but I hear is pretty great. I mean, I am a tad(read: TERRIFIED) worried about how much money I would spend wanting to dress them alike (heaven help me) and dance class, and costumes....…but I do think it would be fun to have three little girls who grow up to be best friends. I’ve also gotten really excited about designing another GIRL nursery…I’ve already picked it out in my head. For some reason, I can’t focus on a boy one right now, maybe it’s because….I just know it’s two girls. There’s the obvious as well that girls would get to use all of big sisters hand me downs, toys, etc. So that’s always a plus! I even have one girl name picked out, but not a boy…there has got to be a reason to all of this;-)
So yes, I would LOVE to be able to experience raising a little boy for multiple reasons; but I am also getting more excited about how much fun it would be for Collins to have sisters and to have THREE little girls in the house! The countdown is on…. I cannot wait to know what the babies are!!! We find out next Monday….it is our 16 week ultrasound appointment and as long as the babes cooperate, we should be able to determine the sexes. I will have anxiety going into this appointment. OF COURSE, HEALTHY BABIES ARE ALL THAT REALLY MATTER. But, this will be ITfor us…so the sexes of these babes will completely determine what kind of family dynamic we will have. Will Mikey be completely outnumbered and want to run away during the tween/teen years OR will Colls and I be outnumbered and we plan a BLUE nursery? OR maybe one of each? WHO KNOWS?!? All I know, is either way…I cannot wait to know so I can start designing a nursery and buying some clothes:-)

Monday can not come soon enough!! I am going to guess boy and girl! xoxo
