LOL...I really DO want to reply NBP, but just not sure how to do it! I swayed for (and got) my boy back in 2009, but this time around I'm just swaying for a healthy sticky bean.

I am a mother of 6 boys. I have been wanting a girl since I was pregnant with my 3rd son, so I can't even tell you all how many tears I've cried over the years because I don't have a little girl. When I'd go shopping for clothes for my boys, I wouldn't even look in the direction of the girls' department and would avoid it as much as possible, because just seeing all those pretty pink things would make me feel extremely depressed send me to tears. I have prayed and asked God over and over again why He won't give me a little girl. I've even felt anger towards Him(sorry not trying to come off wrong) for depriving me of a daughter, especially when I see so many other women giving birth to little girls and mistreating and neglecting them. But then I think there MUST be a reason I only have boys. I haven't found that answer yet, but I hope someday i will if i never get a girl!

I do love my boys, but I can't help feeling somewhat incomplete. For 12 years I've been the only female in my home, and it feels quite lonely when I see my sons and my husband doing their boy stuff together. I feel left out. I want a little girl whose hair I can curl (or straighten! lol), who will enjoy Disney Princess films, whose bedroom I can decorate in pink, yellow, purple, with flowers and butterflies (I'm very girlie, as you all can see, lol). I want to go shopping for cute little dresses and shoes, hair accessories and even play dress up. When she's old enough I want to do each other's nails and talk about girl stuff and make fun of the boys, lol

I am scared to get pregnant again not cause I don't want another son, but because I think I may never have a daughter I can have that special relationship with. That's the main reason why i want a daughter. I never had a mother-daughter relationship with my own mother. I pray my last in final child is finally a girl if it is Gods will, i pray.

I love my boys more than anything in the world, in fact I always wanted two boys and a girl. As a teenager I so treasured their Say it like it is, fun loving, care free attitude that boys of that age, and older(!) have. Most of my friends were boys and they taught me not to take myself too seriously, to laugh at myself and not to dwell on things that don't deserve such time. I already enjoy the humour my boys are bringing into my life and am so very grateful.

As I started by saying... I always wanted two boys and a girl. A girl forever when my boys have wives and likely gravitate towards her family. Certainly I will, and hope, to be replaced by a woman who will become more special to them than me but my wanting for this is extends to a sadness that I believe I would not have with a daughter. Of course our relationship would change as she got her own life but as my mother is to me, I would hope to always, forever and ever be part of her life in a close and more full on way. I'd love a girl to talk to about the things that boys have little interest in. To be there through her pregnancy, for her children. Of course there is the prettiness too, sharing the typical girlie past times... Clothes, make up and health spa's. And as excited as I get buying the boys fun toys, and I do, I love it, I would so enjoy getting my girl things that I could actually know the feeling of excitement they would bring.

Two boys and a girl, they can keep her grounded and she can keep them sensitive and wise to the world of women. I am so lucky to have my beautiful boys and any other children I might be fortunate enough to have I will be eternity grateful for. A little girl in the mix would complete me and be a dream come true.
