I will admit each pregnancy I thought I was having girls...Andrew as I said before was Maja, David was Annika and Erik was Elise. I do not feel robbed because I do not have a daughter, I do not feel I am or will miss out on anything because I d not have a daughter, I do not feel secretly incomplete because my brood is void of estrogen. I feel that there are certain strong women who are put on this earth to raise good strong boys who will make good strong partners in their later relationships. I believe that out there is a girl I will later on in life have a unique and amazing relationship with just like I have been honoured and blessed with in my relationships with my aunt Gittan a mother of 4 boys and my there are no words for it relationship that I have with my friend Sarah another mother of 4 boys. I know my relationship with my two neices and possibly with the daughters of my future brother in law Richard will be unique and special and allow me to escape from my testosterone encompassed lair. And to those individuals who meet me in the stores, the post office, my work and feel it is okay to push their pity on me in front of my boys with your comments... "you poor girl with all these boys" ( poor girl...I get to get down and dirty, catch frogs, balls anything you throw at me, build things out of LEGO, blocks, sticks you name it and I get covered in messy sticky, muddy kisses every chance I get...poor girl my ass) "so are you going to try again for a girl..." ( all I can say are you INSANE), "you will miss having a daughter when you get older they take care of you like nobody else" (come visit me at the senior's home....I guess I will miss out on the huge bouquets of flowers, treats snuck in, my sons feeding me chips in bed, holding vigil as I lay dying, taking me out for a drive, yeah that's too bad...sons don't do a damn thing). Yeah to all those people ... do I need to say it.... you can kiss my truck bumped, lizard kissed, insect squished, sticky, loud, messy, busy, muddy baby blue covered fanny.
