“But how do you REALLY feel about having 3 boys?!”
People that know me, know I was always the girliest girl growing up. My favorite color was pink, i was a ballet dancer, I loooved sparkles and glitter, I even refused to wear pants because I would only wear dresses or skirts. I grew up with an older brother and two sisters. I had my girl baby name picked out before I was even married and just assumed I would have girls.
Fast forward to when I found out Calvin was a boy. Long story short, we were CERTAIN he was a girl, we had even purchased some girl items. When I saw that little boy part on the ultrasound, I was completely shocked. Tears streamed down my face. The US tech said, “if I could change them I’d make a lot of money.” It took me a long time to come to terms with the idea of having two boys and that I wasn’t getting my princess. I’m so embarrassed to admit this because our little Calvin is PERFECT for our family. It is exactly as it should be.
This whole pregnancy I had a strong feeling it was a boy. But from the outcome last time, I didn’t 100% trust my gut. I would try to imagine this little one as a girl and I just couldn’t. I prayed a lot to feel peace no matter if this baby was a boy or girl. Let’s just say I was well prepared to see those boy parts on ultrasound day.
My boys are rough. They wrestle and fight all day. They are dirty, and messy, they love dinosaurs and sports. My house is covered in legos and books about sharks. But I honestly can’t imagine my life any other way. My boys would rather die than learn to dance, and I’m (mostly) ok with that. 😂 I am actually a pretty intense soccer mom when it comes to Scotty’s games, and I’m learning a lot about being patient and letting my boys rough house and jump on the couch.
From time to time since It was confirmed that baby 3 is a boy, I will have a pang of sadness that I may never get my little princess. But I’m comforted by the fact that my boys will always have each other, just like my sisters and I do, and that the Big Guy Upstairs totally knows what he’s doing. 💙💙💙
