I'm so happy for you that you are getting the fun of BOTH! There is something very tender about the mother/son bond, though. My little boys (following the good example of their daddy) treat mama like a queen bee. Have fun! Hope the next few weeks go well. You will be in my prayers.

As for boys and girls...I have two of each (b, g, g, b) and my experience was that whatever gender differences there might have been were far outweighed by differences in temperament and personality. You do have to adjust to a different diapering strategy, though :) Hope everything goes well!! I am with you on the cashless society. I pretty much am that way now.

I didn't believe her. It is true for my son and I, but I really don't know if it is because he is a boy or because he is who he is. When we got our son, our daughter (who was 4) was not.happy. At one point she wanted us to adopt him the way you adopt animals at the zoo....just send money so that some one else can take care of them.

I have a son-in-law who calls if we haven't talked for a while, and a son who initiates few contacts even though we have a very good relationship. As for being late having this baby, my experience was the first one was 10 days late, the second one 5 days late; so I figure if I'd had a third, the baby would have been on time!

I love the conversation with she-who-is, priceless! babygirl and I have had similar stories about our new addition. We've asked how she feels about having a baby brother or sister and she replies "Brother." When we say "it could be a sister." she replies "God said it was a brother, God KNOWS mama!" Blessings!
