Before Tate was born I truly wondered how I was going to love a lil boy. I have girls and I love my little girls, I love dressing them, playing with them, doing their hair-when they will let me. Although I went through the same inner turmoil before Tyler was born-and having so much love for another baby. This time it just had the added twist of being a male. I still don't know what to do with a little boy, but my heart must've grown because I truly love this kid. Sometimes I just want to kiss him on his squishy lil cheeks and I love watching him when he's content just laying there kicking his feet staring at the ceiling letting out a lil baby noise every minute or so as if he's chatting it up with someone and keeping up with his side of the conversation. These are the moments you live for that keep you going when you feel like you want to "strangle" your kids-even if you don't mean literally strangle them. So you gotta write them down. (After this Susan, you really might stop reading my posts).
I guess it's just a natural maternal instinct and dumb of me to be so worried about this and the fact that the ultrasound made him look and sound like a freak with his long skinny legs & body, small head, big nose and ears... What do the machines know anyway right?

He is a sweet little thing to hold too! :) You're doing great balancing all the kidlets (better than I would do!)
I know what you mean. I've had a similar experience in reverse (boys first). He is such a cute little guy!
I just give you Moms of more than 2 so much props! I don't know how you do it. As I sit here folding my mountain of laundry this question keeps running through my head.
And you're right, this one might have to be the last baby post I read at least until you hit the terrible two's stage, then I'll be back ;)
I'm so happy for you and your sweet little baby boy. I can't wait to meet him!
