Happy Monday all! Before I get to today's #BOYMOMS post, I wanted to make a quick note. I finally (after many months of talking about it!) changed my blog URL (with the help of my AMAZING friend Vickie!).
birenbunoutoftheoven.blogspot.com will forward and I think bloglovin updated (thank you for checking Courtney!), but if you have the blog bookmarked or anything, please make sure to change the bookmark to my new URL :

Thanks!

Hi Friends! I’m
Sydney and I blog over at Raisin Southern Grace. There I talk about some of my favorite
recipes, building a house, how I struggled with infertility, and
the new addition of our son, Griffin.
Since my husband and I had to deal with infertility, we didn’t have a
conversation regarding if we wanted a boy or a girl. We just wanted a baby. We wanted to be parents.
After going through infertility treatments for a little over
a year (we miscarried in May 2013), we found out we were expecting on our
second wedding anniversary, August 27, 2013.
To say we were thrilled is an understatement.
We were able to find out the sex at our 16 week
ultrasound. Once the ultrasound tech
showed us “the money shot”, I knew right away and I asked if I could be the one
to tell me husband. Finding out that we
would be parents to a boy was overwhelming.
Even though we would be happy with having a boy or a girl,
we LOVE having a boy.
And who says boys aren’t fun to dress. I am having the best time dressing my little
guy like “a little old man.” People say that
boys are Mama’s boys and Griff (who we call, The Boy) fits that to a T! He is the best snuggle bug and always likes to
nestle into my neck. My boy can make
this #boymom’s heart just melt.
Since Griffin is only 6 months old, we are really looking
forward to the stages ahead. I’m looking
forward to trips to the park, making mud pies (bring on the dirt), and kicking
the soccer ball around. Dada may prefer to toss a basket and go hunting with
the boy though.
I believe the world needs more good men and it all starts
now. I look forward to teaching Griffin to
be a man, be a good husband, and raise good children. I’ll be teaching him to hold doors for women,
to be polite, to put the toilet seat down (your welcome future wife), and to French
braid (for your future daughter).
One word to describe being a boy mom is Fun! We laugh play constantly, we laugh
constantly, and we love hard. I feel
like all my children will be boys and that they all will eat me out of house
and home. And I’m okay with that.
Feel free to follow along with me more on Raising Southern Grace for updates on my little guy and some of our favorite things each month.
What a fun series Elizabeth. Thanks so much for including me in on the #boymom movement.
