I read this article on CNN. If you read it keep in mind that CNN titled it "Why I Didn't Want a Girl", but the author actually titled it "A Daughter, At Last".
I really enjoyed reading the article and totally understood, since I had felt that it would be somewhat easier if we were having another boy, since I'm already experienced in raising a little male. It was funny to read about how her sons used cups and remotes as toy guns, as we experienced the same thing. I had told Shane from the beginning that we were not going to have toy guns in the house. Little did I know that was totally not up to me. I don't think Caleb was even 2 before he formed his first toy gun with his hand.
Anyway, I checked out her blog and read some of her previous posts and laughed out loud at this one. You have to read it! I'm so tempted to try it out on Caleb.

The article was very interesting. My best friend has two boys and she is SO happy and done having children too. I would be happy with either on the side though I want a boy so Derrek can do even more adventerous things with them, I will take a happy healthy boy or girl though no matter what we would be THRILLED!! I am so happy that you are having a girl and have Caleb too, he can look out for his sister as Derrek did for you and my brother did for me...Derrek is already talking of sharing all these boy things with his nephew Caleb I think he will have a blast being closer to everyone!!!
HA!
