Your website gave me so much to look forward to about having a little boy. It never once dawned on me that I would have anything other than a little girl for my one shot at a baby, and I was completely caught off guard when they told me it was going to be a little boy. I had never, ever been around a little boy, none of my girlfriends had little boys, and had only thought of pink dresses, bows, dolls, teaparties, and all the things that made me the girliest of girls. As I read on every week about the mommy-loving, dog-adoring, creative, sweet little superhero Seth, I became more and more excited about what my little boy would be like. And, of course, my little guy turned out to be the sweetest little thing I could have ever imagined. If I had taken that chance to choose the gender (which I was amazed to find out you can do with a baker’s dozen of embryos and a wizard of an infertility doctor) I would have made the wrong choice for us! I’m so in love!

And to everyone praying and sending good vibes to Amanda, thank you so very much. I hope that you all get to see the beautiful video that Midwesternmommy and Slackermommy put together, along with help from many bloggers. Thank you all!!!!

Bossy’s son was just accepted into a college. But he’s still little boy sweet, all 6′ of him.

I wish this were true of The Mayor, but he only has eyes for his father.

I have a 5 year-old boy and I know exactly how you feel. Although, I must say that I let the kids push dad out of bed sometimes.

A friend and I were just talking about how the mother and son relationship is one of the best love affairs of all time. My son is twelve and it is still going strong.

Does it help to know that my 13 year old slept in my bed last night after a nose bleed?

And that sometimes he will spontaneously hold my hand in public?

(Yes, prayers and wishes and love sent)

I watched the movie “The Pursuit of Happyness” last night (tear-jerker!) and was thinking about how cute Will Smith’s little boy is and how they still hold hands and kiss. I have a brand new little girl (and hope to someday have a boy or two), but I just don’t want her to grow up! I don’t know if I can handle the angst of the teen years and my little baby thinking I’m the dumbest human being on earth…

I’m hoping Ree is right! My 12-year-old is downright embarassed to be seen with his stepmom already… much less being subjected to physical contact!

So sorry to hear about Amanda. I’ll keep her in my thoughts.

I totally get everything you say here. I feel the same way about my boys. I love it. And I love what Ree just wrote above me…that gives me hope!

I am sending my very best healing vibes to Amanda. Kick this thing!!!
