I'm actually glad...
That I had a boy.  Not that I wouldn't have been happy if I had a girl but I was thinking about it all.  Yeah, I'm prissy at times but think about this.  Growing up, I was a tomboy to a point.  I was involved in Martial Arts and during that time girls still weren't really big into that then.  I was usually the only girl in the class.  I know about guns grew up around them.  I like cars and even started working on them, learned how to change a tire as soon as I got my learner's permit and change the oil.  
A couple of nights ago lil man and I were watching the last Rocky movie.  It was the big fight scene and I'm sitting here talking to my 3 month old about the stances that both fighters were using and the punches they were throwing.  Then it dawned on me, I was supposed to have a boy first. 
Now I did girl scouts, ballet, tap dance, Hawaiian dancing all girl stuff.  I had barbies and I was always swimming but if the all the kids in the neighborhood were playing I was with the guys doing "ambushes" this is before paintball.  I'd fish but couldn't stand to put the worm on the hook.  
Now that I'm an adult and I look at what I'm doing now.  I used to work at a car dealership in the service department, even worked at Wal-Mart in the TLE.  I love NASCAR and baseball.  I would prefer pants to dresses, although I like to dress up from time to time.  I'm still a woman in every sense but I'm the mother of a boy and I'm about a 1/4 prepared for what lies ahead with him, I say 1/4 because I have no idea what he's going to be like and this is supposed to be an adventure.  At least I'm looking at it that way.
