buy these clothes
make this type of bedroom,
buy a beautiful blessing dress,
accessorize her with this type of bracelet (made by my sister-in-law, Tenley),
have fun with this type of apron (from Two Barefoot Mommas), 
have this type of quilt (from Heather Bailey),
or make a scrapbook page like this (by Heidi Swapp).
It does make me sad a bit. But ya know, I say again that I won't have the possibilities, because heaven knows I'd probably get a tom girl that plays in the mud, won't wear dresses or bracelets, and won't let me do her hair! But still, that's not why I want a girl. You know. But lets not dwell on this subject any longer. I got it off my chest and now it is done with. You won't hear me mourning ever again. I am blessed a hundred times over. I know that! And you guys really made me feel good with all of your comments when I announced the news. I especially liked the comments, "congrats, queen of kings!", " The C* boys are going to be legendary!", "Yet another prince Mike can train to treat women how they're meant to be treated.", "He will be a very lucky guy. Three big brothers to play with and a Mom & Dad who KNOW boys. ", "You guys have such handsome boys! They will all treat you like their queen. ", " Boys need good mothers to get them on the right track. And your great for the job!", and "You are a very special mother! And Mike is a very special father!" Thank you all for your wonderful comments. It does get me so excited to raise another son.

Oh Audra! I hear ya! Especially because you are a girly girl! And especially because I only have boys as well. But you know, you will be an awesome mother to 4 beautiful girls once your boys do get married and I am sure you will also have amazing granddaughters that I am sure you will be sure to spoil and love! It is all the plan... And who knows... maybe 4 years down the road you may think you can handle just ONE more and it may just be a girl! :)
Love ya sweetie
I'm glad to hear you acknowledge that you were just a LITTLE bit disappointed that you weren't getting a girl. I thought you were in a bit of denial. Better to deal with it now than when the baby comes! Besides, girls are fun, but nothing can compare to YOUR boys!!!
Audra, I was a little sad to tell you the truth. However, everything that everyone posted is very true.
But, I thought being Mormon meant that after this one, ya'll were only half way complete with having children. What gives? - just kidding!
I have to agree Audra, there are NO boys that compare to your little C* boys. Sometimes I wonder why we don't still have arranged marriages, because I would certainly point my girls in the direction of young men who have been taught well "by their mothers" and fathers.
How bout this, I'm beginning to think I may never get my boy... so we'll have to get together someday down the road, swap kids for a few days, spoil them rotten and get our fix for boys/girls! I would love to take little boys camping, or fishing or hiking!
dearest Audra - you are in my thoughts daily it seems - hugs to you!
It's OK to mourn, and its wise to mourn and then go forward! And you just never know about not getting a girl..... Life has a way of dishing out surprises!
I think it's healthy to get it off your chest. There's nothing wrong with wanting one over the other. Think of those mommies that mourn because they are or are not having a baby in the first place (me!). I remember sobbing when I first found out I was pregnant with Bradley. Life changes....and when you hold that little one in your arms for the first time - all doubts will fly out the window.
The grass always may seem a little greener somewhere else. You are good to know how blessed you are.
I'm sure there will be cute girly clothes, quilts, and scrapbooks in the celestial kingdom. So you'll get your chance, it just might be a while... :)
And how lucky to have a celestial kingdom where all things are possible.
Some of us unfortunately do not have that chance.
Oh, John. You do have that chance, but you must choose it. Want to know more? Call the missionaries.:)
