Blue or Pink?

                Once upon a time I desperately wanted a child.  I thought about it all the time.  I day dreamed about how awesome it would be to have a baby.  I fantasized about what a great mom I would be.  When we found out we were going to have a baby we were ecstatic. It was so fun to dream and plan for our first little bundle of boy to come along.  Did I mention I wanted to have eleven boys? 

                First scream: Much to my surprise, we in fact had a girl.  I’m sorry to say I was disappointed.  My dream of 11 boys was shot.  I couldn’t imagine having twelve kids; that would just be too many.  

                This was the first moment I started to think of having a girl.  I was determined that she would be a tomboy.  Her room was decorated in turquoise blue and we didn’t buy any pink clothes.  Alas, she was a first baby and at the many baby showers she got lots of pink anyway. 

                First hug: Oh – livia, what a gorgeous girl. As hard as I tried there was no way to make you a tomboy.  You are pink to the core.
