What if it's a boy?!?

** The following post was written during a  brief panic attack of a first time mom to be. 

All in all this week as been good. Seeing my husband get so excited about this baby is amazing. He is the only one i let touch the belly and he has already started talking to the baby. He has not wavered and is still convinced that Nugget is a boy. I am still unsure. 

I do not have that mother's intuition just yet. I guess because this whole hint is still crazy and surreal to me. I can say that I am nervous though. 

What if Nugget is a boy? What the hell am I supposed to do with him? I am as girls girl as they come. I mean, i remember my tomboy days, but those did not last long. And I was still a girly girl at heart. I just liked hanging with the boys. And playing football.  How am I supposed to fit in with a son and a man's man as a husband. These two will be ripping and running, jumping off houses, playing every sport possible and come in the house bloody and bruised. Where do I fit in?

Mister and I have talked about this a few times and I know that it's not competition between the two of us, but I just can't help the thought of feeling confused and left out. I don't know boys. I know bows and dresses. I know tea time and princess tiaras, not ninjas and race cars and certainly not worms, dirt, bugs and blood. I really want Nugget to be a boy, because I know that it would mean the world to Mister, but I can't hold back the desire for it to be a girl. At least I'll stand a chance. Lol.

  1. You know, this is sooo a legitimate, feeling! But speaking on something that I have experienced, it is going to take two things for you to "fit in" The first will be your husband. As I read through your blog, you always say great things about him, so I'm sure he will support you the way you need. The second thing which may be more important, is you. You don't know this yet, but when your son (if it is God's will) is born and you hold him for the 1st time, I promise, a magnitude of knowledge will hit you and you will be enlightened. Be assured, young mother.

  2. Thank you for your comments! It's great to know that this blog is being seen by someone other than my Mother. lol. Also, I think that the second I posted this, God granted me peace. While I still would like to have a little girl, I am happy no matter what He blesses us with as babies are a gift.
