Hoping for a Girl

When I was pregnant, I had secretly had hoped for a girl. I just thought I could relate better to a little girl, plus the last 4 babies in our families had been boys-we were due for a girl. And if you put any weight into the old wives tales, I was supposed to have had a girl.

But this weekend as I was playing with Lucas on his mat and he looked into my eyes and smiled, I just knew that the love a little boy has for his mommy is the best thing in the world. And as Marc and Lucas "rough housed" on our bed Sunday morning, I knew despite what I had hoped for, this was a perfect family for us and I would not want it any other way.
