I am doing Tuesday Talk a little late tonight. It's been a rough day with my wilds! I seen this story about a mom who wrote about that one question everyone asks when you tell them it's a boy for the third time, you'll have try for a girl for your fourth right!?
I joke about it all the time. Someone says to me "you gotta try for a girl right!?" I usually say something like, not if my dr did his job! Because with my last babe I had a repeat C-section & got a tubal as well. It's fine to fake it while your standing face to face with someone, but deep down it always gets to me for a minute.
Are my cute boys not enough for you?
Am I not good enough to be a boy mama?
Are you going to make me re-think about the fact that I won't ever have cute bows & dance outfits on my little girl?
I have already thought about those things! 1) my boys are adorable 2) I'm an amazing sidekick to those ninja's & superheroes & 3) I do NOT have the patience for a little girl! I would love to have a tiny dancer but it's not for me!
It makes me sad to think that having all boys is something to dread. Yes, my boys have the nickname "The Wilds" & they live up to it every single day. Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for my boys. I thank Him for giving me boys that have good manners (on most days). I thank Him for little boys who tell me on some my very worst days that I'm the most beautiful mommy in the whole big world!
I would NEVER trade my blues for pink any day.
I look forward to watching my boys play sports with their dad & to see that twinkle in Trevs eye when he's proud of the way they're learning or succeeding in life.
I look forward to watching my boys pick the person they will fall in love with & be the best husband & dad because they learned from some of the best men I know! & then I will get the best daughters I could ask for because my boys chose them!
I will always be a boy mom & I will never have any fear of that! I am so thankful that these boys give me hope & an amazing reason to live this life & have fun. They have taught me fun! They have taught me to live in the moment no matter where or what. They have taught me unconditional love. I am a proud Stay At Home Boy Mom!
So sweet! Boys are amazing and love Oakland's relationship with his dad!
ReplyDeleteIt's the best!! Just wait until they get older & can play sports with them!
DeleteI'm also a proud stay at home mom. Very sweet! Thank you for sharing! Have a great day with your boys!! xx Asheigh @SimplyWright
ReplyDeleteIsn't it seriously the best! I love staying home!
DeleteI know that they mean nothing but the best {usually} but it’s not anything I would ever say to anyone! Everyone has a story. I only have 1 boy and I get that all the time. “Are you gonna try for a girl?” Well, no, we can’t just pick the gender we want the baby to be. Plus, I’d be A-Okay with another boy. I love being a boy mama. I have a friend that has 9 boys. You can imagine all of the tacky things people say to her. Hang in there Mama. You are rocking the boy mom thing. Some people just don’t think before they speak.
ReplyDeleteI, too, think they mean the best, but it's like infertility... People just don't think before they speak! It's so sad sometimes!
DeletePeople usually talk too much. It is true that they mean nothing but the best, but it is annoying. They ask you if, after having four boys, you're going to have a another one just to try to have a little girl, as if you need something more than these gorgeous boys... And if you are 32, as me, and you are not a mum yet (because you are struggling infertility) people usually say that your biological clock is ticking, as you didn't already know it,... And sorry if there are mistakes, I'm still improving my English skills.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! I am turning 26 this month! I had great luck with getting pregnant & can't imagine what you may be going through! I am sorry! I hope & pray it happens soon for you!
DeleteSuper cute post. You are great, your heart is full, no need for a baby girl. I also saw your picture on IG with yiur baby boy, aaww my heart melt.

Thank you so much Gema! My boys are the best ever!!
DeletePeople are so opinionated when it comes to people having babies. We've been married almost 3 years and from the time that we got engaged people have been asking us when we are going to have kids. That's something so personal and I think people aren't coming from a bad place when they ask, but it still either hurts or is annoying. Thanks for sharing this! Boys are wonderful and I think 4 would keep you insanely busy! Plus you'll hopefully never have to deal with mean girl drama haha.
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what I'm hoping! No girl drama!!
DeleteEh, I think that's just a broad generalization that everyone wants boys and girls. If a family had all girls you always hear that they might be trying for a boy. But we are blessed with the children we are supposed to have so congrats on being a boy mom! :) Boy moms and girls moms rock. All moms rock! ;)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you on it could be switched around with a family of girls! I was definitely blessed to be taught patience!!
DeleteLove this post. Just proves that everyone has a story. I used to always say that I just wanted boys. Your reality was my dream. But it's all just fantasizing in the end. I will be happy no matter what, all I can hope for is a healthy baby. I can't wait to be a mama. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! I totally agree, we should all be happy that we've been blessed with happy and healthy children no matter if they're boys or girls!
