When I first found out I was pregnant I thought I wanted a girl.  I imagined all the beautiful little dresses and cute bows in her hair.  But before I even found out the sex of my baby I had a change of heart.

I wanted a boy.  Honestly, not sure why, but it may have been that all the little boys I knew were all such sweet boys and all the little girls were , well… not.

I do know for sure that it didn't really matter what the sex of my baby was, as long as he/she was healthy.

Now to get to why I am so thankful I have a son - I just finished back to scchool shopping this past weekend and I know we would have spent more than double had we had a girl.

I think boys are cheaper.  My son, who is six, so this may change… doesn't care what we buy him.  A pair of jeans and a T-Shirt is just fine.

Oh, and little boys love their mommies!
