I have always known that I wanted to be a mom.  Some of my friends think that I am crazy, but 5-year-old me couldn’t wait for the day that I would get to be a mama.  Don’t get me wrong, I had other dreams and ambitions as well and wanted to have my life in place before becoming a mom, but I always knew the end goal was to be a mom.

In April of 2015 we found out that I was pregnant with our first child, who turned out to be a little boy. He has been the center of our universe since he first made his appearance in December of that year.  Being the mom of a boy has been so much fun.  He was an easy-going boy, he loves to dance and he gets along well with other kids and adults.  He is adventurous, playful and so loving towards us.  I have loved being a mom to my little boy.

We we found out that I was pregnant again, I couldn’t deny that I really, really, REALLY, wanted this second child to be a little girl.  I tried not to admit this out loud because if it ended up being a boy, I wouldn’t want that little boy to ever feel unwanted.  I would have loved any baby that came our way.  Monday we had our anatomy scan and immediately we could tell that baby #2 was a girl!!!  Insert tears, cheering and me doing a mental happy dance.

 

Immediately I started thinking about all the adorable clothes and accessories that baby girls get that baby boys do not.  Tutus, head bows, shoes with rhinestone or glitter!!  I can’t wait to have fun with all of the fashion choices that are out there.  On a more practical note, I am excited for the mommy/daughter relationship that I will get to build with her.  Everyone always talks about how boys are yours until they get married, but that baby girls are yours forever.  I have no idea if there is any truth to it, but I am so thankful that I get to opportunity to also be a girl mom.
