Eight years ago I became the mom of a boy. Oh how we love our girls...but there is something very different about having a boy after having 2 girls! I can still remember tears of joy at our 20 week ultrasound when they told us it was a boy! I wanted a boy for my husband as much as anything. What I didn't know was how a boy would change me.
