And of course, I love the photos and bits of wisdom you share. Thanks. I really should have started commenting a long time ago I suppose, but I'm shy.<br />As far as not finding out, I think you're brave. I didn't find out with my first one, but every time after that I justified finding out because "if it were to be a girl, I'd have to prepare since I have no girl things." To be honest, I couldn't stand the suspense.<br />I actually hate it when I tell people I'm having another boy and they tell me something like, "Oh I'm sorry, maybe next time..." or ask "So are you going to keep trying?" (Yes, someone did actually ask that. Fail.) <br />I love my boys, and would be completely happy having all boys --girls scare me --probably because I was sort of a tomboy myself and I'm afraid of having a girly girl, but really because I fear future boyfriends more. I figure it's easier to teach my boys to be good and respectful towards girls and how to be upstanding men, than to protect my innocent, naiive and yes, silly girls from scary guys. (Not to scare you if you do have a girl, of course.) Good luck with number 4!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622586494147076094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500371353366134644.post-57589588228588361072011-07-08T14:29:38.710-07:002011-07-08T14:29:38.710-07:00Ditto what Tanya said. :) None of us will think ...Ditto what Tanya said. :) None of us will think less of you if you do. ;)Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941838353834702381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500371353366134644.post-17040258782128641052011-07-08T09:25:31.960-07:002011-07-08T09:25:31.960-07:00your boys really are just so cute! i think it wou...your boys really are just so cute! i think it would be so much fun to have three boys. <br /><br />now about finding out whether it's a boy or a girl...for pete's sake it's ok to change your mind. call them up and find out! why not!? i say a pregnant lady should get what she wants :o)Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09663016781067971896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500371353366134644.post-36153669208207692352011-07-07T19:24:08.037-07:002011-07-07T19:24:08.037-07:00Predictable?

Maybe.) It's a lot of drama and a lot of dealing with emotions. But there are delightful things about it too. But you're right, either way, boy or girl, it will be awesome. :)MaryPosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13800343213304100139noreply@blogger.com
