Okay, before I start I must say that I am just being honest right now. I love girls. I have two of them both of whom were personally chosen by myself (and approved by Doug, of course) . They are so fantastic. They love being "girly" like me- dressing up, shopping, showing loads of love, etc. When I think, though about the gender of new baby Daley I wish very much for a boy. Why? To spice things up, so my husband can know the joy of parenting a same gender child, to bring in some variety and testosterone, etc.
We find out on July 15. I constantly tell myself over and over that we will likely have a girl and I practice being excited. I know that I will be ultimately happy with either gender as we are just so darn blessed to be having another child at all (and one that comes our way in a much easier fashion than adoption- my opinion only- feel free to disagree if you've had experience with both. Yes sir, I'm counting all the pain of the IVF, the 9 months, & delivery. Adoption is WAY harder, yet amazingly rewarding, of course). I'll stop there.
Thanks for reading my rant.

Amen Sister! Adoption is definetly harder. Although I must admit, being pregnant was no walk in the park for me, Adoption puts a much harder strain mentally, so I agree 100%. By the way, my prediction is a boy! I am usually right!

Suz- I'm so excited for you!!!! Thanks for finding me and commenting. I'll be following your family's adventures from now on, and yes, things are "so good." I'm really excited about starting nursing school, in case you didn't notice. :)
You are pregnant! Congrats! I have a little boy, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. They really are a kick, but I hope someday for a girl. (Mary Ellen from Taiwan)
