How did I end up with 3 sons anyway?

Have you ever noticed all of the families that either have three girls or three boys? What is with that anyway? Why is it that some families just have girls and some families just have boys? I mean I have three boys and my brother has two. My husbands brothers both had only sons. Only his sister has a daughter. And, as you know men determine the sex so it is definitely a family thing. One of my best friends from high school has two adorable girls. Why girls for her and boys for me? I remember in high school a friend of my mom had all boys. I felt sorry for her with three boys. Can you believe that? I felt sorry for her and now I have three boys? Does seem a bit strange thinking about it, almost like it was inevitable that I would have boys just because I felt bad for her. Well she had one of those late in life babies, a little girl so all was well in the world. I can't tell you how many people have said to me that I should try to have a girl. Like three boys is not enough? As it is we can't all fit in a normal hotel room. We can't fit in one cabin on a cruise unless you can find an old Carnival ship that still has a few rooms that smash 5 people into one space. Honestly it is none of their business but the amount of people that have said that to me is substantial. How about you other my3sonsmoms? Can you relate to what I am saying? Has it happened to you too? Like there is something wrong with having boys. What in the world is wrong with that? I can't even imagine what it would be like to raise a girl. All I know is boys at this point. Plus there are many advantages for having boys. First of all my boys are adorable and the youngest two still give me hugs which I certainly treasure. Second of all they are all two years apart and I have been able to pass down clothes from one to another for the most part, which is a huge cost savings. Another benefit, they don't need shoes to go with every outfit. They don't need tons of outfits to wear. Put them in some shorts and a t and life is good. They don't waste all of their time primping and prepping in the bathroom. Maybe it is true what they say. God only gives you what you can handle. Maybe I could not have handled girls. Maybe that is why God gave me boys. I do know that I am thankful. I can tell you that for sure. Wayne and I were married quite a few years before we were ever able to have children. I started thinking we would not be able to have any of our own and would have to adopt. Not that there is anything wrong with adopting. If I was in the financial position to do so, I would certainly consider it. So, any children were a complete blessing from God. We had to fight a bit to keep our kids, that is for sure. But as any Mom will say, kids are worth fighting for. Our oldest ended up having heart surgery when he was two. He had some complications and some other health scares. Ultimately he was diagnosed with ADD and Autism. My youngest almost died when he was first born. He was born at Delnor Hospital in Geneva IL. I did not pick a really good time to have him, like I had a say in the matter. :-) Anyway, the hospital was booked with women having babies. They had so many that they eventually moved me into the emergency room to stay overnight. Unfortunately for us they did not have enough extra equipment to keep monitoring me except for my heart and my blood pressure. The next morning arrives and they have me walk to surgery to have a C-section. It was originally scheduled for the night before but the doctor actually told me the insurance company would not pay for the surgery in the evening. What a joke. Of course I called the insurance company and they would have covered it no matter when it was needed. Anyway surgery happens and he is stuck in the upper uterine cavity. They can't get him out and they have to use high forceps to get him out. Within a few days of his birth we see marks all over him from the forceps. The hospital sends me flowers to apologize for sending me to the ER but by then Zachary was seriously having problems breathing. About that time he is airlifted to Rockford Memorial Hospital and almost immediately was placed on ECMO. (Extral Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation) Basically they ligated his carotid artery and attached him to a circuit that oxygenated his blood, kind of like a heart bypass machine. He was on that for six days. I credit God, Rockford Memorial staff and the inventor of ECMO, Dr. Robert Bartlett with saving his life. He has some mild issues but that is it. Thank God for people like Dr. Bartlett that have made a difference in so many lives. Almost forgot, great deals at Staples tomorrow. There was a coupon in Sundays paper for $5 off a $20 purchase and all kinds of items for a penny and some for a dollar. Great time to stock up on school supplies.
