Subject: Admit your guilty thoughtsMy sister in law had a baby today. I am so thrilled for her! I am feeling more than a little guilty however. She had a boy. I have four boys and she wanted a girl so bad but I secretly wanted her to have a boy because I have all boys and I have always wanted a girl and by golly if I can't have it... (no, for you smart aleks there will be no more babies here. I was on bed rest for too long with my kids and I cannot do that again. Besides, I am too old for this ).
I know she is ecstatic with her new son but I feel like a big dork because I would be a little sad today if it had been a girl. The baby is happy and healthy and doing well as is Mom. I feel better now... and hey, I'M AN AUNT! So I thought I would post my guilty thoughts here and open the confessional for other people with guilty thoughts. |
