Hey Melissa I just wanted to say if you read this that i saw you at the Swamp Tour In Baton Rouge I hope to see you again!Good Luck On the Movie!

Even if she has all boys it is not a shame. It amazes me that people assume that someone wants a boy and a girl. I had all girls and I do not consider it a shame that I missed out on boy stuff. I love my three girls for who they are. I can not imagine carrying a baby and giving birth and being disappointed. I think it is presuming a lot to think that someone who has children of the same sex is disappointed.

Congratulations! Everyone wants a little girl to dress up, it’s a shame to miss out on all things girlie, but you get what you get. Boys are adorable and sweet. I’m sure Melissa will come to terms with having two boys, and Brady must be as cute as Mason.

Sarah’s note: I am so confused with these comments about it being a shame she had another boy? She never said she didn’t want one or would prefer a daughter. In fact, she said they’d like 3 or 4 kids, so it’s not like they’re done.

I love Brady also, that was on our list for our son. Great choice!

LOVE the nickname! Great choice!! I am glad to hear that Mason is doing well with him, I remember from her journal entries that she was worried about that.

Also Melissa thank you for leaving a message just for us! I don’t know about the other readers, but I really enjoyed following your pregnancy with Braydon. Thank you!

I think it has more to do with the fact that many people think the women want girls and men want boys. But that thought is a little outdated anymore because I hear plenty of women that would prefer boys and men that love their little girls.

Maybe your friends thought that you wanted a boy? I definitely don’t get the perception that boys are a consolation prize. Actually, I think it’s the opposite in our society.

Awwh congratulations to Melissa, Mark, and Mason for their wonderful newly extended bundle of joy. I bet he is just as adorable as Mason.

I have had 4 children without any type of medicine and it wasn’t by choice. Had it been my choice I would’ve had medicine but all my labor and deliveries were so fast it was too close to give me any meds. I barely made it without meds and the longest for me, from beginning to end was a little over 2 hours. I highly doubt I would’ve made it 14 hours, kudos to you and all mothers that choose to use meds or not.

AAAAHHHHH! What’s with you guys? “I’m sure she wanted a girl, but a little boy is fine…” SERIOUSLY! Sorry but this is my big pet peeve. When i had my son, I got “Aw, congrats. Maybe you will have a girl next time.” More times than I can count! I WANTED a boy! Why does everyone assume girls are the best and boys are just consolation prizes? Very weird in my opinion.

Personally, I can’t think of anything better than a little brother for Mason. I’m sure he is beautiful and I like that they are calling him Brady.

Congrats to the happy couple! I’m sure she wanted a little girl, but a boy is just as special.
