Giving Brangelina A Run For Their Money!
I’m so excited to meet this new baby boy of ours - new babies are miracles and I know I’m going to love him to pieces. I have to publicly admit that I desperately want a baby girl, but it’s just not happening for me. I have three little boys and one more on the way - plus my hubby! HELLO HOUSE OF TESTOSTERONE! I was thinking last night of what knowledge and life’s lesson’s I would be able to impart to a “would be” daughter someday. I’m 31, I have my own business, I am Mom to 3 (almost 4) - I’m a superwoman, I should have a bevy of advice and wisdom right?? But as I thought about it my list started to sound like one of those weekend courses you can sign up for, for the bargain price of $49.95!!
Things like:
How to open a pickle jar when your man is nowhere in sight
or
How to change a flat tire using only a paring knife and a pair of tweezers
I must have better advice than this!!! I’ve lived, I have laughed, I’ve made mistakes! Oh yeah, mistakes that should spark my creative juices flowing.
Here goes:
Skipping classes in high-school. The first step on the road to hell.
or
How to find a GREAT man by only dating 150 losers!! Woo hoo!
Maybe this is the reason I keep getting boys, I just have no Womanly Wisdom to pass on - I can’t even balance my checkbook or organize my refrigerator! What business do I have trying to steer an impressionable young lady into womanhood?! But think of the CLOTHES, THE HAIR BOWS, the Jewelry, the sheer excess of having a baby girl!! I want that someday. So like my dear sister in law said to her brother - “dude you need to put your testicles on ice!” - it’s Canada, it’s cold here! You’d think we’d have a Country full of only WOMEN!! LOL! Wait, that wouldn’t work would it? Maybe I shouldn’t have skipped so many Bio classes in high-school…

Oh, Daria, I know how you feel….I felt the same way. I was lucky to have my baby girl….and until you have yours, you can share Kylie!! She loves clothes, bows, and jewelry. She already knows and loves you, and as an added bonus, she could come home at the end of the day!!!

That’s why I’m not even gonna try. I will save money and offer me and hubby a nice little girl via a sperm sorting clinic. Or adopt a girl. But no more testosterone or I’m gonna lose all my neurons!

Here from B.E. Gonna try again for a baby girl?? Everyone asked me that after I had three boys and we were thankfully blessed with a girl for #4. I still wonder if we would have been crazy enough to keep going! LOL

I’ve read (Taking Charge of Your Fertility) that the girl spermies are slower swimmers, but
less fragile than the fast boy swimmers, so babies conceived on ovulation day are usually
boys, and girl conceptions happen a day or so after. Interesting, but who knows? Congrats
on your bouncing house of boys!

I’m a bit of a tomboy,
so no one was surprised when i had three boys in a row.
But lo and behold,
along came my youngest, a girl and a REAL girl mind you,
someone who at 4 will tell Big Daddy that she needs to go shopping
and that ‘girls need jewels’.
Oh dear, i suppose that means i will have to learn about fashion,
at the tender age of 44.
I suppose what i’m trying to say here is:
hang in there, you never know.
Girls are so different from boys,
and every bit worth the trouble of waiting!

Best of luck with the impending arrival of #4. I just had my first and can scarcely think of having another baby. I’m such a novice. :p (Oh, I’m here from blog explosion and enjoyed stopping by. I’ll be back.

If you really want a girl there are ways to up the chances!! Jenny said most of it but there is also the other side to the coin. If you also have s*x two days earlier and then do not come near each other on the day you ovulate and then a day after you ovulate you up your chances for a girl.
You just hit it right on every time it sounds like!!

Boy, I can relate! (Pun intended).
I’m a mom of two boys, and I just spent all summer trying to conceive a girl using the method in the book “How to Choose the sex of your baby.” I never got pregnant that way though, so we decided to just go for it. I just found out I’m pregnant, and since I didn’t follow the rules, I very well may be joining http://www.itsgoodtobequeen.com/. Have you seen this site? It’s pretty funny, for moms with all boys. I have some womanly wisdom to impart too, but may have to wait for a DIL to do so. Gee, I’m sure they would love THAT!
