For a long time, I felt I would have a boy as a first child. Even back in the day when I didn't even have boy dogs or boy cats, or a boyfriend, I always pictured myself as a mother of a boy. I think it is because I grew up a tomboy and love adventures and the outdoors. As a little girl, my favorite article of clothing was a stained Tiger's head Wild Animal Park BLUE t-shirt. I loved Vans, Nikes and Converse high-tops. It wasn't until I was in High School that I discovered "the Dress".
Currently I live w/ 4 dudes. Man, 2 dogs, cat. Its a real sausage festival at my house. That doesn't include the fact that I work with 95% guys at my work. I didn't plan it that way, that's just how it ended up. Then there are all the boys of my boy.
The luvman is a guy's guy. He has a ton of guy friends and they love to talk about sports and rap music. He has absolutely no feminine interests or sensitivity at all, though he can cook a mean steak dinner for us.
Having a boy would be pretty easy, I'm just used to dealing with the male species. However...recently, I've been thinking about having a little girl. Not to play dress up or anything, but I picture her perhaps being a scientist or someone strong and great, command the next spaceship, (yet also can play the piano and know how to germinate exotic flowers like mama)
The thing about being an American is that women can do anything. In the 'old country' everyone wants a boy because only a boy can take care of you when you are old and gray. Hell, I intend to take care of myself and be a sassy buff granny but I digress... I guess when it comes down to it, I'd like to have boys and girls. But with my luck, I'll probably end up w/ all boys.
