First, there are way more than five fabulous women in my life, so it might turn into the Fab 15 Friday. And second, I don't have all the items I need to complete that blog. But rest assured, sometime (probably in the near future) you will get to read about the fabulous females I surround myself with.
Instead, this Fab Five Friday (female edition) is going to take a look at all the reasons I am slap happy, super ecstatic, head over heels in love with having a little girl. (No offense to all the little men out there, however).
No. 1) It's like a thousand generations passed down. I have a little girl. My mom had a little girl. Her mom had a little girl. Her mom's mom had a little girl. And ... you guessed it, her mom's mom's mom also had a little girl. I'm sure you're sitting there thinking, so, what's the big deal, everyone has girls in their families, big whoop. Except, they don't. As a matter of fact, my husband has a niece who has three children -- all boys. My mother once told me that seeing me become a mother has been one of the neatest experiences of her life. So now she gets to watch her baby watch her own baby grow up (there's a mouthful).

Please pardon my unwashed hair, sweatpants wearing, swollen self. This was two days after giving birth to Pearyn. |
No. 3) The relationship she has with my mother. Now don't get me wrong here. I am in no way saying that Pearyn has a better relationship with her grandmother because she's female. But, she certainly has a different one than a little boy might. I remember watching my nephew, Eli, with my mother. He was rough and rowdy, the typical boys boy, with a slightly sensitive side every now and then. For the most part though, he was all cars, trains and airplanes. Pearyn, on the other hand, is much more the "feminine" female. She likes dollies and their houses, she tries to give baby dolls their binkies and helps them play patty cake. And because of all the sugar and spice and everything nice inside of Pearyn, I get to watch not only my mother fall in love with her, but her reciprocate those feelings.
