I have 3 brothers. (Whom, I love!)
I am the only girl.
I've always wanted a sister. I've always wanted someone to do hair with and play dress up with. I liked to play with dolls and all that, but usually I was out playing with my brothers and the other neighborhood boys, because I was surrounded by those too.
It was just me and my mom to add a little bit of femininity to our house. We had fun, we'd have our girl nights when the boys went to Father-N-Son outings and stuff like that.
Then I went off to college and deserted her. (So sorry about that Mom, by the way!)
Then I got married, and had to, again, live with a boy. We even got a boy dog. Then I had a baby boy, and then another. We did eventually get a girl dog, but then she went and deserted me (Well, she did have cancer, so I've forgiven her). When I got pregnant this go around I didn't even want to entertain the thought that this baby would be a girl. I didn't want to get my hopes up. I didn't want to dream about dressing a sweet little baby is pink and purple. I wouldn't even let myself go there.
A couple of months ago, I found this blog called "Boys R Us" Have you ever read her? She is hilarious! She has 7 boys!! So reading her blog I can relate on a very small scale. I mean sometimes my 2 boys feel like 7, ya know? Anyway, I was reading this entry yesterday. It's about living with teenage boys. I laughed so hard I literally started crying. I mean tears running down my face. At first I was crying because it was just so funny. Then I was crying because I realized that in just a few short years I will have teenage boys and that insanity will be my life. And then I sat there and bawled like a baby because I realized I was having a girl. I would get to do hair and make pretty clothes and do fun things on Father-N-Son nights. I know it's not gonna be all rosy. I have been informed I had my fair share of attitude and drama. But at that moment I was so over whelmed with gratitude and happiness!
My dear hubbie will be so glad when this "adventure" is over. My hormones are CRAZY!

Before you know it Baby Girl will have every one wrapped around her princess fingers.
Yay! You're going to love having a girl. They are just plain awesome. But I guess where would we be if not for boys...? Extinct. Anyway, I'm so excited for you!
I am so happy you are having a girl.
It is wonderful to experience bonding with a girl.Your brothers are great, but you gave me that chance to
dress you up, do your hair, and share girl things with each other. As you know boys do not share their thoughts and open up the way girls do.
Thanks for the great times we had together and still do.
Can't wait to be able to come out and enjoy your family when she is born.
That is so awesome! I am so happy for you. We had our two boys before we finally got our girl, and it is so worth it!!!! She definately shows signs of having two older, bigger, tougher brothers. But then she loves her toes and fingers getting painted and she loves shoes and bags and getting what little hair she has done. Just yesterday I was having a meeting at my house and she walked in with mascara all over her forhead and lipstick all around her mouth saying "mommy, i petty with makeup:)" She is a doll.
