My 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.

OK one of my sons is probably gay. Actually this is not a secret thought because my husband and I have discussed it and we both agree. We have known it for a very long time. Doesn't matter and no, we don't push him because that would be silly. It's just something that we both think is true and came to independantly. The other day he was telling me he thought a guy he saw was really cute and that he "liked" guys better than girls. I told him that was great but if he like girls that was great too. I cannot pinpoint why I feel this way, I wish I could. If he grows up straight that is 100% OK and would make his life easier in many ways. If it turns out I am right then he has a good set of parents for that circumstance.

I did not want to admit two secret thoughts but your post reminded me.
