Surviving the Domestic Jungle

I am finally ready to come out and tell the world I am pregnant and even more exciting is that it is a BOY! When the ultrasound tech told me it was a boy my jaw fell to the floor, rolled out of the room and down the hall! It actually took a couple of days to really set in. I honestly thought I was a uterus that only had girls! I was expecting to hear it was a girl and I had only been thinking about girls names. I was unsure of what having a boy would be like and whether I would know what to do with him. Now all those worries have melted away (mostly) and I am just so excited about him. Having a son is so different than having a daughter. I’m going to have to meet his girlfriends and I think between me and his sisters, those girlfriends are going to have to be pretty special. Being raised by a mom and two sisters will also help him to learn and respect women which I am happy about because I will not have any son of mine be awful to women! I literally have nothing for a boy. Not even a pair of socks! I am starting from scratch with this little guy and the other day I was buying the girls some shirts and popped over to the baby section and looked at the boys clothes for the first time ever and purchased his first little outfit! I am so thrilled about all this and just enjoy every moment of my last pregnancy! That’s right, the gates are closing!! No more for me and should a little surprise slip through, then ok, but no more actively tried for children.  I have girls and boy so I got to have both sexes and I feel complete. He is the first boy in my family of all girls! Both my brothers had girls this year and one already had a 9 year old plus I have two girls so there’s 5 girls and now one boy. There’s no way he wont be tortured and the girls dress him up and make him play with girl toys. I hope my sister in law has a boy next! Anyway, you heard it here first that there is a new little man in my life arriving this winter!!
