For those having boys...

the gender disappointment post from yesterday compelled me to write this (which I am still hoping was MUD) as well as major hormones. 
I know none of you need to hear this, but I still wanted to share it. When I found out I was having a boy the first time I was in a little bit of shock. I grew up an only child and wasn't sure what I would do with a boy. Having a boy has been such a special, special thing. Little boys LOVE their mama's and are the sweetest things in the world. I just wanted to tell you all what a treat you are in for - I love my little boy more than the world.

Re: For those having boys...
Its good to hear something positive about little boys
People have been telling me "dont worry you will have better luck next time"....WHA?
my DH said to me right before we found out the sex of #2
"I hope that #2 is a girl because Dawson is such a mommas boy and he loves you so much more than me"
well too bad for DH because now we are having two boys and i couldnt be more excited!
This exactly, I was terrified for a boy b/c I know nothing on how to take care of one. But I guess we learn as we go. God help me if he turns out like his daddy though-MIL was telling me horror stories of when DH was small-oh dear
Thanks for this post
This is my first and I will admit, I kind of wanted a little girl - and my DH really wanted a boy...well, we found out it was a boy and I was a little "shocked" as well, but the closer we get to the due date and the more time I spend day dreaming about this little guy - the more excited I become! I REALLY hope he is somewhat of a "mama's boy" and is a little miniature version of my husband - I can't wait!
THIS
I really want a little boy. I would love a little girl too. Hmm. So conflicted! lol
I guess it's good that means I'll be delighted with whatever I get!
I love my little mommas boy!! he is seriously awesome and I can't wait to have another one.
I babysat two little girls today around 4, omg the drama!! they are already mean to each other and playing little mind games. :-(
lots of mothers have told me that raising a teenaged boy is a lot easier than raising a teenaged girl. theyve said boys will just grunt at you but girls will yell and throw tantrums and be dramatic and tell you they hate you lol
I was absolutely thrilled when I found out we were having a boy. I would have been happy with either but I am especially excited to raise a boy after being in a family of all girls. It will be a new experience!
I'm not sure why it seems like more gender disappointment is aimed at boys than girls; it makes me sad. I suppose more women just feel like they'll relate to a girl more easily -- but honestly, every child is a unique person. Just because mom liked to play with dolls or dress up or whatever is no guarantee that their daughter will be into that stuff.
Even though I have a very good relationship with both of my parents, I've always had much, much more in common with my dad than my mom.
I was pretty much certain that we were having a boy since before I got pregnant. Both DH's and my families all have boys first lol.
I kind-of really wanted a girl, but I really wanted a boy. Basically I would have been happy either way, but I'm ecstatic for our little guy! He's already got me wrapped around his little finger and isn't even here yet!
I honestly don't understand why anyone would be upset for having a little boy. They're so loving and sweet and so so special. I can understand being a little shell shocked at first, though. I certainly was (for about a nanosecond) but then started crying =P I think I freaked the u/s tech out a bit haha!
I wanted a little boy when PG with DS!! He is a total mama's boy for snuggles and kisses, but right now is totally copying EVERYTHING his Dad does and it is so friggin' cute I could die.
I thought this one was a girl!! Felt different, carrying different, my skin is reacting differently... but I am glad for another boy! Teenage girls scare me!!
And I'll always be "Queen of the Castle" with all my guys!
I LOVE my little guy. I got rude comments too like "I only picture you raising boys"--wth does that mean? I wouldn't want it any other way.
I just hope they call me more than my DH calls his mom, lol.
I'll admit, I had it set in my mind that we were having a girl and DH and MIL were determined that we were having a boy. So when he flashed us in the u/s, there was a slight moment of disappointment and then shock. Once the shock wore off, I immediately fell in love with our son when I started imaging him walking, thinking of who would he look like, will he be a mama's boy like DH is
. Now I'm ashamed that I was ever disappointed he's a boy! I can't wait to meet him and I know I will love him more and more each day.
I love having a mamas boy
When we found out Baby #2 was a boy, we'd get comments like "oh, so sorry..maybe next time?" and I'd look at them and think "sorry?" I'm so excited to have 2 boys so close in age! I love the thought of watching them grow up together
Awww, Great post, and I am sure it's hormones, but I teared up reading it!
I am very excited about my little boy, but admit when I first found out I got a little scared I may never have a girl and had to take a little bit ( like an hour and a convo with DH) to be excited for our little boy.
I was exstatic to be having a boy! I even cried when the u/s tech said it was looking like we were having a boy. We have DD already and now we will have one of each. SO PERFECT! Plus DD is a daddy's girl so hopefully I'll get to have a momma's boy. LOL
And agreed with the trouble that could come if LO acts like DH at all.
haha. same here
Everyone thought it was a girl until I found out, so I was definitely surprised when the tech said boy. Now I cant wait to have him here and am so excited for daddy (and mommy :P) to have a little man... and yes like pp's teenage girls scare me
