I’m a planner. I like to know
my baby’s gender as soon as I am considered pregnant! But this time,
Kachi and I involuntarily embraced the idea of being surprised until our second baby was born.
International Day Of The Girl Child 2022
“I want a boy.” I repeated as many times as possible. I told the people who were qualified to be told. It was what I wanted.
Some of the people I told smiled and wished same along with me while some looked at me with judging eyes. "You should just wish for a healthy pregnancy and baby. That's what's most important."
Oh well, I couldn’t help wanting what I wanted.
I wanted a boy and wasn't ashamed of that. I knew that I'd be a great mother to either boys or girls, so why should I have felt bad for having a preference? Was I any less grateful for getting the opportunity to parent another child? Was I being a selfish brat and only thinking about my wants, instead of thanking the heavens that I was able to conceive again?
Of course not.
