There was a day I was walking through security heading for a meeting and one of the guards looked me in the face and with a smile say &#8220;Ohh you are about to have a boy aren&#8217;t&#8221; My face went from sweet and angelic to something else because he quickly said  (while holding up his hands &#8220;Or I could be wrong&#8230; only God knows&#8221;.

The sales were good and I saw so many cute things. I bought a dress here and sweater there. I also started saving little girl hairstyles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mikkisoxtra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6116-1024x683.jpg?resize=1024%2C683\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mikkisoxtra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6116.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mikkisoxtra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6116.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mikkisoxtra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6116.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mikkisoxtra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6116.jpg?resize=375%2C250&amp;ssl=1 375w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mikkisoxtra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6116.jpg?w=2340&amp;ssl=1 2340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mikkisoxtra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6116.jpg?w=3510&amp;ssl=1 3510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first dress I bought, I brought home and hung it up in the kids closet.
