Many people wanted the link to the blog title that I referenced in my last post. Here it is. Now, this isn't the first time I've complained that I've noticed, first hand, that moms of boys are treated differently than moms of girls. Of course, most women want a girl to buy girly things for, but honestly, that is truly the only reason I can see that a girl would be more desired than a boy. I mean, I totally fell in love with a pink bubble suit the other day at a consignment shop, BUT that doesn't mean that I value my son any less b/c he can't wear it! I mean I guess he could, but I'd rather he didn't. Secondly, I'm constantly hearing "oh you should have a little girl now" well honestly, I'd take another one just like my first or I'd take a girl. I have a 50/50 chance of receiving either, so I better not get my heart set on anything!
Now, moving on. I'm pretty sure my (almost) 19 month old has hit terrible twos early. He used to listen SO WELL to me when I would tell him no. Now, he tests me daily. He'll go to something he knows he's not supposed to mess with and stare at it and move really slow to touch it to see if I'm going to stop him. I once upon a time could just tell him no, but now I have to physically remove him from the temptation. It's driving me nuts! and he's all over the place. We went to the doctor the other day and talk about ants in the pants, he just flat out couldn't sit still or stay in one place. This is all new to me. He's still wonderful and very well behaved, but he's certainly gaining independence! I love it!

Seriously, the "now you need a little girl" comments are so effin annoying. Why do I *need* a little girl!? Or when I told people the news that I was having another boy, and responses were "ooohh, well, that's okay... At least you dont have to buy new clothes" or "that just means you have to try again for a girl". Makes me want to punch someone in the face :) A "CONGRATS" will suffice, you stupid people!!!
Well honestly I get the comments the other way around as well. We are planning to start trying next summer to have another baby and several people have already said..."well maybe you will get a boy this time or well will you try again if you get another girl?" So I've heard the comments as well, but just the other way around. Just ignore it because any GOOD mother knows that a baby is precious no matter what sex they are. All a Good mother cares about is that the baby is healthy : ) Hang in there Mama...your son is amazing!! : )
