Just found out the sex of my son and daughter-in-law's baby, due May 30th. They are having a girl and she will be our 5th granddaughter. So far, we have no grandsons. I'm feeling bad because I'm not high-five'n anybody and everybody I know about the news. I know I would be, had it been a boy, so now I'm feeling guilty about that. Why am I not just as excited about it being a girl?
I think it's because it's my first born's child, and I know he wanted it to be a boy. What guy doesn't want a boy? I just wish every guy could have a boy right away since it seems to be so important to them. I'm pretty sure my son and daughter-in-law plan on having more than one child. There's always next time, right?
I don't think so. I have 2 sisters and 2 brothers. My sisters each had 3 girls before a boy arrived for one of them. One of my brother's had 2 boys, and the other never married. Out of 6 nieces, they have given birth to 10 girls, 5 boys. Nephew's count is as follows: 1 married w/o children, 1 not married with a daughter, one not married, 0 children.
That's just my side of the family. My husband has one sister and a brother. His sister had 1 boy, and 2 girls. His brother had 2 girls. His nehphew and niece have boys.
So I'm just thinking that the chances of my son ever having a boy are slim to none. And knowing how badly he'd like to have one, that makes me sad.

Hailey called me with the news today too! At least they will have LOTS of cute hand-me-down clothes! And yes there is always next time.
don't count on me to give you that boy grandbaby... this baby making factory is shutting down! (unless we win the lottery) :-)
Kane will get over that "boy" jones the minute that little girl is born. Also, little girl stuff and clothes are way more fun than boy stuff, I think.
