Your Cart is Empty
I feel like I need to start by backing up a little. Let me introduce you to my extended family. My husband, Sam's family is full of boys. He has 5 brothers 0 sisters, he has 10 boy cousins and 3 girl cousins. Of his brothers, only one has managed to squeak out a girl. The Clarke side of the family hasn't seen a girl in over 10 years.
Needless to say, whenever anyone asked me if I was going to try to have more babies so I could get a girl, my answer was always the same. Nope, Clarkes don't make girls. Also, I absolutely love being a boy mom. Boys are just the best!
When I did finally get pregnant, I knew it would be another boy. I was so happy about that. I don't even know what I would do with a girl. I had to do a bunch of genetic testing (thanks advanced maternal age
) When the test results were sent to my inbox, I was SO nervous. I prayed that this baby would be healthy. Every single thing came back negative. I was so relieved! Then... the gender button. I pushed it knowing already that it said boy and now my boy mom life would finally have it's caboose. I was so wrong.
WE ARE HAVING A GIRL!!!!!!
I instantly started laughing and crying. Sam didn't know what to do with me. He was unsure if I was happy or sad. I was mostly shocked. I continued crying for the next day or so. I had no idea that I would be so happy to have a girl. I didn't even think I wanted one.
