I like boys, not girls…

Don’t be misled by the title of the entry, because I mean it literally. Probably not the way some may be literally reading it. But I literally mean I like boys, not girls… literally…

Anyways, so my baby boy is due in approximately a month or a month and a half! Words cannot express my excitement for my first kid. And words cannot express my excess excitement that it’s a boy!

My wife and I were never shy in proclaiming we wanted a son. Yes, even my wife. She was a tomboy growing up and never had a connection with girls the way she did with guys, despite her being a popular sorority girl. So even she had the same dreadful outlook on how harder it would be to raise a girl than a boy. And I mean this for us personally

I love all my nieces and nephews, but I just get along with the nephews better. I pretty much am a big kid, so all the comic books, cartooons, sports, science stuff, they like, I like em too. On a side note: They tally of my nieces and nephews was 5 girls and four boys. So our son evens it out!

My wife and I envision things for the long-term, not just the short-term. We already had names picked out for either a boy or a girl before we even started trying for a kid. Now that we know our son is on his way, we picked a second boy’s name in case we are blessed with another kid and it turns out to be a boy. We don’t plan on more than two kids though

That being said, I don’t think I could handle a teenage daughter, haha. Maybe having a son first will teach me the patience needed to have a teenage daughter later, but right now I know I couldn’t handle one. I’ve had numerous female best friends growing up, and I’ve been there for them through lots of hard times. I think that’s why my patience on females have run out, haha

I don’t think I could deal with the drama that comes with them. Plus I’m an accountant, I’m not spending anything towards designer brand crap! I hate designer brand crap! How I’ve managed this stance with a wife? I don’t know, I guess I lucked out 😛 I’ll teach my kids the value of money and managing a budget before I’d buy any designer brand crap! It’s just cloth with a name on it, how could it cost so much?! haha

My cousin, who just recently had his first kid and it was a daughter, kept trying to preach to me that every guy should have a girl. That the dad will have a special connection to it that the mother would not. After I found out it was a boy, I couldn’t hold it in and basically said, "Forget any politically correct crap or nonsense to please everyone, I wanted a boy! Plain and simple!" 😛

Now if we get a second kid later like we hope, there’s no anxiousness for us if it’s a boy or girl. We have the boy like we always wanted. If the first was a girl, then we’d be crazy anxious in hoping the second was a boy

moral of the story: I compare having a kid to winning the lottery. That’s how exciting it is and how blessed it makes us feel. Knowing it’s a boy was like winning a $25 million lottery compared to $1 million. The joy beyond expectation is always there, but there’s an excessive bonus

Have a Nice Day!
