Re: Gender Disappointment...
There was a post about this a few days (weeks?) ago, and I just thought I'd share something I read...
Why I’m Finally Psyched to be Having a Boy « Exploiting My Baby : A Blog by Teresa Strasser
If you don't want to read the whole thing, basically she wanted a girl but ended up with a boy and it's just about how she accepted it. The part that got me was when she said this: "I don’t know much about boys yet. I just know that this one, my boy, is crowding my diaphragm, lungs and stomach, while simultaneously making room in my heart."

Re: Gender Disappointment...
Thiswas a comment from a reader...I read it with my mouth hanging open like, how can a mom SAY something like this??
"Hi Teresa, I’m glad to read you’ve accepted the boy. I have a 2 yr old boy and he is the most awesome thing ever. He is so much more affectionate than my 4yr old girl. He is also more brave, daring, and smarter. I love my daughter dearly, but I can’t stand her. My daughter is winey, emotional, pickey, and defiant. I stay home with them full time, so they get lots of attention. I don’t know if it’s her or me. When I have my son alone, it is a pleasure being a mom. He makes it so much more rewarding. I really with I would have had him first, then I would have not had anymore. Oh, I didn’t even get to the difficulty getting her dressed everyday. She has to match everything, and has recently had an advertion to pants and shorts, only dresses and skirts. I can put anything on my boy and her never complains.
I too had difficulty buying him clothes and decorating his nursery at first. Fortunatly a lot of stores have surfer/skater clothes for little guys now. I did his room all surfer dude and it was very cute. I did not like the teddy bear and sport themed appearal and decorations. Please excuse my grammer and spelling as I have had a terrible morning with my daughter and have resorted to bong hits in the garage, drinking makes my too sleepy. ; )"
