What's it like being a mum to a little boy?

I guess I just want to know if I will be a good enough mum for him..

Oh Honey with just those few words I think you'll be a truely wonderful mum to your little man.

Being pg in astronomical itself let alone knowing what your going to be having and how that little person is going to need us in their ways.

Boys are just the most gorgeous little souls. They tend to nuture more of us then girls. I have noticed a big difference between Vyolett and my 3 boys. I find Vyolett highly independant with very strong will power were my little guys wanted support and lots of mummy time. I too was worried that I would wrap them up in cotton wool but I just let my natural instint kick in and followed their lead. I allowed them to bring their own personalities out and allowed them to be themselves.

You have truely beautiful heart..your son is so lucky to have such a loving and caring mummy to look forward too and so will your future children.

Maz, thank you. Your message brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for your encouraging words, it really means a lot me and just wanted I needed to hear. I am already in love with my little man and am looking forward to staring at him for hours on end. I can just see days flying past and not knowing where they went because I will be so wrapped up in him. I pray he stays safe in my tummy and grows nice and strong cause I can't bare to think of anything bad happening to him.

i have two boys and a daughter. My daughter, who is nearly 13, has always been an independent soul, it wasn't until my eldest boy nathan was born, that she decided to become affectionate...lol. having said that, Nathan's nickname is ferret - because he ferrets his way in beside me, and I don't even notice that he has done it - still now at nearly 10. Laura makes a big production about having a cuddle. Aston, my youngest - 2 in November, has started to randomly go up and cuddle anyone of us. Which of course just melts us all.

Nathan is my tender hearted boy. He is at an age where he is wanting more masculine influences, but still comes and gives me a hug and a kiss, and will declare that he loves me. When I had a son I was overwhelmed - I didnt' know what to do with a boy. I had grown up with a sister. They were alien creatures, and I spent the first 18mths of Nathan's life, trying to figure out what made him tick. Then I realised that I was never going to figure it out (much like I can't figure out the male species in general!) and instead of worrying it, I should just enjoy the mystery that is him. Having sons has taught me and helped me appreciate that the male species does things and thinks incredibly different to us females.... and just because its different, doesn't mean its wrong - its just different.

Anyway, I think I have raved on enough now.

As Maz said, just the fact that you are thinking about what kind of mum you are going to be, means alot.

Congratulations on your blue bump - may the next half of your pregnancy speed on by, so you can hold him in your arms and fall in love with this amazing gift.
