Are you expecting a baby girl? Congratulations, you are starting on one of the greatest adventures you can imagine. You will be able to enjoy a dresser full of pink and cute pastel colors. You are going to have fun turning her into the most beautiful little baby in the world.
Mom, is your mind turning already, trying to imagine all the fun you are going to have putting her hair up in ponytails? Having a baby girl is very different experience than having a baby boy. It is not only different because the room is filled with pink instead of blue. It is different because of the way we feel, and treat our little girls.
Your baby girl is going to be precious to both of you. You will cradle her and start imagining the beautiful young lady she will grow into. Dad will probably already be mumbling about needing to protect his angel from boys. Yes, fathers are defensive about their little girls almost instantly. They know exactly how precious they are.
Are the personalities of little girls that much different than little boys? You will find shy little boys, and shy little girls. You will see a baby girl who is a daredevil who will out climb, out run, and is more energetic than any baby boy around. Just as you would let a new son be adventuresome, let your baby girl be just as adventuresome. Who knows, your baby girl may be the leader of a corporation, a president, or a police officer when she grows up.
The real magic of a baby girl is what she does to our hearts and our thoughts. She brings out the best in her mother and father. They feel like they have gained a treasure in their lives. A magical treasure which needs nourishment, and love to grow and expand. Sometimes Dads get a little timid playing with their new daughter. Where they would be very playful, and almost scare their wife with a baby boy, they hold back with a baby girl. Dad, here is a little secret, your baby girl loves to play, too. She will love getting swung around, bouncing, and being tickled.
The biggest difference you will find very quickly with a baby girl is with changing diapers. A baby boy will create a fountain of fun, your baby girl will create a flood of fury. Do not worry, the clean-up after your daughter’s flood is easier than the spraying excitement from the baby boy.
The biggest problem with having a baby girls is wiping the smile off of your face. She is always going to have a special place in your heart. Where a baby boy is a father’s playmate, a baby girl will rule his life. She will wrap him around her little finger, and not let him go. Mothers are not immune either, her new daughter will get her wrapped around her finger, too. It is probably the fact of being the cutest creature in the universe.
