You said the wo...I'm nearly in tears right now. You said the words I so desperately needed to hear. I am a mom of 3 boys too- 3 1/2, 17 months and 8 weeks. I wanted a girl so badly, that, to be honest, even now, I get tears thinking about it. I found out my best friend gave birth to her baby that she thought after 2 ultrasounds was a boy and turned out to be the 2nd girl she wanted just as badly as I wanted a girl. I found myself being so badly jealous of her and happy for her at the same time and wondering why God didn't think I was good enough to give a girl to. Just one, out of 3 children.<br /><br />Your words helped me and touched me so deeply and in a way that I can't explain. Not only is there someone else out there that is a mom of 3 boys (which is crazy to me even though it shouldn't be), but, you had a plan and God had a better one too. Your 1st sentence spoke to me and I couldn't stop reading the entire piece. Thank you so much for giving me so much comfort. I'm going to be coming back to this post anytime I'm feeling sad or wondering why not just 1 girl. Why is it me dealing with the craziness of having so many boys?? You understand, you are there with me and the idea is so comforting. Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you!Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274267034693234369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677284086626775276.post-75711481831155009172011-02-08T15:15:23.581-08:002011-02-08T15:15:23.581-08:00Even though we only have one child, I love my baby...Even though we only have one child, I love my baby boy!

Especially turning everything, and I mean everything into a gun or sword. It's just how God made them, and He did so good. I love my grubby little guy so much.<br /><br />If you're interested, I would love for you to share this on Thursday for Mama's Heart. All you would need to do is link up on my blog so others could find you. But no pressure, I know you're a little on the busy side :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, this was really beautiful,<br />ErinIt's Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16279701164954591412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677284086626775276.post-43532872412122451092011-02-04T20:34:00.829-08:002011-02-04T20:34:00.829-08:00I love this post.

You are absolutely right that it is a gift and priviledge to raise boys into men. I will be praying for you as you embark on this journey of adding another beautiful boy into your family. (And the ones you have already are so adorable!)

My girl came first, and she is amazing. But there is something so wonderful about my boy. He totally melts my heart in a way that is all it's own. Now I understand that mothers and sons sort of have a little club and only moms of boys get it. Just think, you will miss all of the girl drama, and that will save many a wrinkle off your pretty face!<br /><br />And you are so right, you know...about God's plan. I am learning that a little more everyday. He always knows better and can build a better life for us than we ever could.<br /><br />Hope you guys are having a great weekend and the boys are enjoying their Star Wars sheets!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060724473289255498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677284086626775276.post-29306359501032343732011-02-04T17:04:27.635-08:002011-02-04T17:04:27.635-08:00You are amazing!

I hope my daughter marries a man with the qualities you hope to instill in your boys. A baby in the tummy is a huge gift from God (speaking as someone who the doctors says can't have kids)! Everytime I am asked if I am going to have another child it is nails on the chalkboard. God gave me a gift in the adoption of my daughter and I wouldn't change that for the world. <br />Keep up the good work mom, you are one tough cookie!The Kelleher Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16592583504182321348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677284086626775276.post-88773864443791061132011-02-04T16:41:05.210-08:002011-02-04T16:41:05.210-08:00Well said.
