So strange yet true; I also had a fierce and demanding daughter first, and had mixed feelings about being told my second was a boy with the ultrasound; I mean I wanted to experience both but it was just hard to imagine how I would relate to a boy. BUT WHOA; so snuggly and sweet. As you say, not superior to a girl, I think we see ourselves in them more and they seem a little more independent, vs he’s a little more clingy but also really sweet.

This article helped so much! I’ve been soooo nervous about the possibility of having a boy. I wanted a sister for my daughter. I read this and felt so much more at ease. Just found out I AM having a boy!! So glad I read this before or my reaction might not have been so nice LOL
THANKS

Your description about this wonderful bond is spot on! I have a 4 yo daughter and a 1 yo boy and it is soooo true! My girl, so independent from the beginning but attached to my hip. My boy on the other hand, completely attached to my heart! So much it melts me! Boys are something else for sure! And I share your thoughts on the future girlfriend part! Ha!

Love this post!

It’s so true! I’m the oldest of three girls and girls are dominant on both sides of my family. My youngest sister has a daughter! So I was surprised when I found out we were having a boy. But it’s all so true, he’s snuggly and delicious and adorable. And now that he’s 3 and really talking a lot and showing his personality, he’s a total charmer.

I can totally relate to this post. I had always a wanted a daughter, a best friend. My mother and I aren’t close at all so I really wanted that close relationship with my daughter. So I was overjoyed when I had my first child, a little girl, Mila Valentina. My husband (who never wanted kids) fell in love instantly. She’s an indepenent firecracker with a crazy imagination. So when we were planning for baby number two we had our heart set on another girl. It was only me and my little brother and we weren’t close growing up so I really wanted my daughter to have a sister that would be her best friend, share clothes, etc (that I never had). This time we were throwing the gender reveal party to surprise the family. When we got the call from the doctor and heard it was a boy, I cried. I’m sooo glad I didn’t have that reaction in front of the family. Anyways to cut the story short, I must say now I’m in love with my little man. He is the sweetest boy, always calling out for mama and giving me hugs and kisses. He just turned two and he is still sleeping in my bed. I now understand what everyone was saying about little boys that I don’t understand before.

This was your sweetest post so far !!! Having grown up with a little sister as my bff and having had mainly girls cousins I had had practically almost no idea or experience of how little boys are, behave and communicate.Perhaps for this reason I have always wanted a daughter and when I finally conceived after many difficulties and struggle I secretely hoped for a girl.So when it was confirmed that we were having a boy I felt slightly disappointed and perplexed about becoming a mom to a boy.I did not allow myself to feel bad about it, cause after quite a struggle to conceive I thought it would be a sort of a hubris and bad energy.I kind of found myself though not feeling as excited as I thought I should be or as overly excited my husband was.Of course then I had my lovely son with the sweetest soul in this world and experienced each and every emotion you describe in your post regarding your bond with Major.He even does the same thing when I hug him,he putts my back and sometimes he suddelnly kisses me in one cheek and then points to the other cheek and says there there and kisses me to the other cheek too! Just another doting mom !!!

Funny, same sort of story with us. When I got pregnant with our first child, I wanted a boy because my husband (being that manly man) reallllly wanted a boy. Thus, I was indifferent but then wanted a boy for him. We found out it was a girl and both reactions were “oh. sigh.” Queue the doctor reporting us for already being terrible parents. Turns out, our daughter Khloe is such a fierce independent spirit and the true love of our lives, in particular, in my husbands life. They have such a bond. So then when it came time for baby number two, my husband and I both reallllllly wanted a girl. We wanted the same amazing experience we had with our first daughter. Doctor comes in, “it’s a boy.” Again, our reaction: “oh. sigh.” And I was especially disappointed. Planning for this second girl, this sister, and we get brother. Well, you are so right. Tyler came into our lives and man, he is so the love of our lives also. He especially loves his mama and wants to hug me every chance he can (quite the opposite with diva Khloe). In any case, I look back now and especially after reading your blog post and think “how could I have ever been disappointed with my baby boy?” But it’s just human nature and it happens and we can’t beat ourselves up. We have both been blessed with a girl and a boy and get to experience the joys of both worlds. As always, love your blog and your instagram. Makes me feel connected to you and your family through our similar experiences and feelings. Thanks for sharing.

I have a boy and girl as well and agree with all the comments! My Mom who also had a girl and boy always tells me to cherish the moments with my son because eventually sons ‘leave’ but daughters stay connected for life. I think that’s what makes the relationship so special, you know eventually that sweetness and devotion will be on someone else. Guys are so laid back they don’t mind spending time with their in laws, ladies not so much and want their husband spending time with their family!
