My parents made no bones about the fact that they kept having children just to have a boy (they went one more hoping for two) and I could have totally seen a cake like this being served when my brother was born, after all, plenty of people said it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-15173010510021233962009-07-14T02:41:51.254-04:002009-07-14T02:41:51.254-04:00Ok guys, just a thought.

As the eldest of four girls, I know that if my mom had delivered her last baby and it had been a boy, all of us girls would have been just as excited as the rest to "finally have a boy"!

"Finaly, a baby!" after trying for so long we're going to be parents, and "It's a boy". But then there was going to put too much writing on the cake. Now to find a way to shorten it...<br /><br />Of course they could have 5 daughters and really want to balance the family but I find the first explenation moor likley.<br /><br />Or mabye they mentioned that a boy would be nice this time and the person ordering the cake decided this was what theu where most excited about.<br /><br />I only feel sorry for the boys sisters if they exist.Alicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-43036573709720255312009-01-07T12:23:00.000-05:002009-01-07T12:23:00.000-05:00I'm finally catching up.
