this is from a comment on a facebook picture of an ultrasound. she's only a few weeks along but look at the talk already of a little girl. this is exactly what i mean by having a little girl. as soon as someone announces they are pregnant this is what everyone says. i don't see them saying anything about "aww i hope it's a boy so i can buy him toy trucks and play in the mud with him"
"You know _____ your baby will never want for nothing as long as your mom is able to get out and about!! you will have outfits and shoes for when he or she turns 5 before he/ she is born better build a house just for the closet space can you see if its a girl the little mini Coach purses she will have at the age of 1 got to love it I'm really a sucker to for babys clothes love love love them!"
"Hey, Ive been looking for a coach diaper bag already!!!!"
i didn't see anyone breaking their necks to try and buy me a coach diaper bag for my 2 boys. i didn't see anybody breaking their necks to do anything because they were boys. we wouldn't have had any sort of party or shower for Jaxon if we hadn't planned it ourselves. although at least ONE of my friends tried to plan it for us. but we didn't get anything to welcome him home, no signs in the yard, no celebration, not even anything sent to the hospital by anyone. but yet with Branson the table was covered with flowers, the door was decorated, people were constantly visiting. when telling people what we were having all we got from them was "aww another boy... you're going to have your hands full with 2 boys" i got nothing but negative comments from people. do you know how many times i smiled and grinded my teeth to keep from lashing out & being the biggest bitch to them?! excuse the hell out of me for not being able to have the picture perfect family with a boy and a girl. and now when we're out people see we have boys and ask if we're going to try for that girl, like we're suppose to have a girl like it's a rule or something. or they make rude comments. some people will say that people are just trying to make coversation or be nice. well i don't want you to be "nice" if all you're going to do is make stupid assinine comments like that! how about removing your foot from your mouth jackass or better yet, shut the hell up!
I wandered over from Ashlee's blog, but I feel your pain, just on the other end. I have all girls and get asked everyday if we're going to try for a boy. I just say we'll just have the number of children we want, if they all end up being girls, so be it, if we get a boy, so be it.
ReplyDeleteI don't care about the gender, just so long as they are mine.
Mama, I wanted sooooo badly for you to have an AMAZING baby shower, I really did! I wanted you to have what I would want, however, it gotten taken out from underneath me by your friend Tanya :-( THEN I at least wanted a magnificant cake but you went into labor right before your shower ... then I was going to do a cake for his welcoming party but it was changed to firetrucks.
ReplyDeleteEveryone loves babies, period. The amount of people who "ooooed and ahhhhed" over Branson walking through the mall with his spiked hair and button up shirt was amazing! And then when they saw little Jax, they "awed" again. You have two beautiful children ... so what if you can't put them in a dress. May God is planning something great for you ... you will have a GORGEOUS baby girl who needs to be protected and she will have two older brothers to watch over her! It's all part of the plan. Look at how things work out ... Anthony walked out on you and I'm sure you did not know what in the world you were going to do! Pregnant and single ... but you found Matt and he is a heck of alot better than Anthony ever dreamt of being. You were blessed to find him when you did ... it may have seemed tough then but looking back it's better. This too will be that way. You'll look back in a few years and remember it being so tough wanting that girl and then you'll see your two older boys protecting your baby girl and it'll be all worth it! I love you and I don't want you to be sad :-(
If it makes you feel any better, I have to explain 10 times a day why I am not married!! Why does that matter to anyone?! "When are you getting married?" WHO SAYS I AM GETTING MARRIED?! :-/
There will always be battles sweetie and we will always make it through them!! <3 YOU
i know you were going to do an amazing shower. you were the only one going to do an amazing shower [not tacky] & not it wasn't fair that you initiated it and then it was taken from you. one of the reasons we cancelled it. and yea people may ohh and ahh but then they ask if we're going to try for that girl. it gets really old. and i know what you mean about the getting married deal. people think we only got married because of Jaxon but what they don't know is we were getting married loooong before him. who says you have to be married to have a baby? that's not always what's best.
