If I Had a Girl.

So let me start this post by saying I do not wish that Gavin was a girl. I also never wished Knox was a girl. I am not that mom. Really, I never hoped for a girl either time if we're being honest. I have said from the time I got pregnant with Knox that I would probably do better with boys and would be thrilled to be a boy mom. I would so much rather go to a baseball game than a dance recital. And let's face it, if I had a girl who acted like me as a pre-teen/teenager I'm not sure I she would survive. I'm fairly certain we are done having kids after Gavin is born, but if one day God gives us a little girl, great. If not, I'll be perfectly content with my house full of rowdy boys!

Now, all of that being said, the day I found out I was pregnant I, of course, started looking at all of the adorable things for both boys AND girls. I can't help it. It's in my nature. I can envision exactly what a little girl's room would look like in my house, how she would dress, etc. So if you want a little glimpse into what a girl's life in my world would look like, here you go!

I've said before that I am not very traditional when it comes to kids clothes. I could see myself being a little more traditional with a girl, but not much. I love these looks for little girls!

Her room would, of course, have to be adorable. The top left photo in this group is what I had picked out for bedding if baby #2 was a girl. It might be the one and only thing I am sad that I can't have with a boy! I am obsessed! Want to know the craziest thing? When I went to read the blog post about the room, it was for a little girl named Finley. That is the girl name I have been stuck on for probably two years now! If we were having a girl, it would have been meant to be! Except Clayton doesn't like that name. So that part would have been a problem. Details, right? I am also obsessed with the framed Shel Silverstein poems and might do those for my boys in a playroom one day.

So there you have it, the life of a little girl in my world! But I would take my dirty, stinky, rowdy, wild, precious, loving boys over the frills and lace any day of the week!
