Seeing this video kinda makes wanna share my story. My parents' first born was a girl which was of course their source of joy. The second born was another girl, they were like cool two sisters can't wait for the third born. Little did they know it was a third girl !!!!. They were like, ok this need to stop LOL. Having the fifth girl was like ENOUGH !!. Seriously. :) But this continued until they had NINE girls as a total. Finally, they had a boy which was a great blessing, and yes he is the most spoiled among us, I mean who would blame them.
P.s my parents married at a very young age. That why they manged to have 10 kids. ;)
Omg what a blessing having 10 kids I have three girls and my little boy it's 9 months
Thats so cool, i happened to my boyfriends father too...he is the youngest and only man of ten kids! Spoiled even by the 9 sisters
ŇâMĘŁëē§4ŒÖ Your English is very good.
numashaz12 Thank you !! :)
ŇâMĘŁëē§4ŒÖ His sisters will teach him how to be a ladies man for sure!
Bonnie I think it's amazing of you to share your true feelings!!! This is reality. Women feel ashamed if they feel disappointed at first but it HAPPENS. And the more we talk about it the less shaming there is. You WILL be excited to have another boy, you just needed the day to wrap your head around it. I think your sister is right. We need more strong Jesus-following men in the world and the Lord knew that you'll raise boys to be just that. It's a privilege! Congrats!
I agree with you, I have 2 boys and currently pregnant with my third its a girl and I am SOOOOOO happy I finally got my girl. But before that I was a little afraid to really say thats what i really wanted so i just kept my feelings to myself because the moment I said well i really want a girl i felt like people (which they always do) would say "well it doesn't matter as long as the baby is healthy". Yes its true as long as the baby is healthy but is it wrong for parents to have a preference? No...
The Lindquists I
AAAAAAA
I love Julies words... this world does need good boys! Congrats to you guys! I am so happy to see your family grow! Olivia being the only girl is fun trust me! :) hehe
Joel's dad made me laugh! "Joel Hoellein Joel Hoellien" I was kinda hoping for a girl and you name her Joelle so your daughter was name after her dad like I was... my dads name is Joel and I was named after him. Not that I had any say in the name of your baby but Joelle is a really awesome name #justsayin :)
Joelle Suess iito

I just warched this today. Im very sure that at this point, you wouldn't trade that gorgeous, healthy boy, Lincoln, for 10 girls. Bless him.
+Bonnie Hoellein you have an amazing family
Agreed
+Jessica downes what?! He is already a big boy. Where is the surprise? Pls get real.
+Jessica downes maybe don't read the comments before watching the video?
+Jessica downes you cant blame other people for talking about something that happened months ago. Honestly.
Congratulations! :) I love how honest you are with us :) My mother had 5 girls so when my youngest sister was born we were all a bit dissapointed except surprisingly my dad - he said that if he knew "she" was going to be his daughter he would never have wished for a boy :)
Aww. Isn't that how it always is? That baby ends up being JUST what the family needs. And then you just can't imagine life without them!
Exactly - it's like they have always been there and belongs there :)
Aww! I wanted my little brother to be a girl and said up until I was seven that he was a girl. Though I still wish I had a little sister I can't imagine my life without my older brother and three younger brothers. I have an older sister and a older brother, then me and three younger brothers.
Ohhhh, I so wish you guys would have just ONE more! You have the most amazing family and your kids are just so precious.
I remember being upset about everyone's reaction to having a boy. I felt so bad for the new baby. Now, over a year later, it's pretty obvious that everyone has forgotten that they wanted a girl and Olivia just adores Lincoln! I still think it would be neat to try one more time for a girl. 😁 😂
Sunshine yeah lol and then she could have 4 BOYS lol
This is a real reaction. Thank you for being honest and yes the feeling was only for a minute and then you realize that no matter what the gender is a baby is the biggest blessing. Congratulations.
Sweet video and I'm glad you were able to share your feelings! Only thing: "We gambled, and we lost." I hope the kiddo never hears that statement!
I really don't think it's a big deal.... My parents wanted me to be a boy lol!
Bonnie, as I watch your videos, I've always noticed that Olivia is so amazingly inventive, smart, creative, independent and resourceful. (I only see what you post so of course I don't mean to single out any of her traits) but I guess what my point is, is that, there is no other girl I can think of that could rule over a house of boys like your smart sweet Olivia. She has her daddy's spirit and know-how and you at the helm showing her a true example of a woman. I think you are making such a strong woman for our world that you only needed one. Those dang dirty crazy fun boys will one day seek a partner and they will have Olivia and you to thank for teaching them about good women!
I've commented many times on your videos, I can't help myself. I just always feel compelled to tell you.. You freakin' rock Momma!
From my Livingroom to yours!
👍✌️
Indiana Amy
Best comment!
This comment gave me goosebumps! Couldn't agree more!
I've found you channel thanks to your sister Ellie, and I love your channel and have already subscribed! Congratulations!!!
P.S. Are you planning on having anymore kids after this one?
Jeez let her have this one first 😜😂 x
I was just wondering because I know she wants another girl.. I wasn't trying to be mean.
Ewa.. She was just asking if she was interested in having other kids after this one.... Duh
Ya I was just asking if she's interested and she's done..
Awe I'm just imagining him and Calvin running around together 💕 and they'll be even closer in age than Jack and Boston. So so so happy for you!! And think about it, along the line of soiling Olivia, it's only one wedding to pay for so you can do everything you've ever dreamed of for her 😊
So funny I thought of commenting everything you just said! From the Calvin buddy to Olivia being the only wedding which is a money saver :)
My Dad's parents had 2 boys and wanted to try one more time for a girl and they got twin boys :) it happens
Oh Bonnie I was hoping for a girl for you too. Oddly enough I have 3 boys and 1 girl, she is also my oldest and my best friend. Now that my baby boy is turning 23 he is such a joy and blessing to me. I look forward to seeing them grow. HUGS
***** I have a 10 year old son and a 6 year old little girl, and if we decided to have another I wouldn't want a girl..... only because my daughter and I have such a sweet bond together, and I enjoy having mommy daughter time with just her and I sometimes. I know if I had a boy, my son wouldn't mind either way. But, thank God, you guys are blessed enough to keep having children!
bonnie you need to have one more!
Yeah
Shamma Alamimi yes

Its so funny everyone was hoping for a girl. But it's so sweet what Jared said. You and Olivia are going to be best friends. Imagine when she grows up and even now how close you'll be. Such a sweet thought.
Bonnie I'm so glad you posted this video, I love that you were so real about your disappointment. And I know you love Lincoln just as much as you would have a daughter! You have such a sweet family. Xo
I love what Julie said. This world needs good boys. You are a great mother to all your beautiful children! Congrats on the baby boy!
I think it's so sweet that you shared that you really wanted a girl. We have 3 boys and then finally had our girl and so many people gave us a hard time about being so open about wanting a girl. There really is something sweet about having just one girl. She will be your bestest friend forever and ever. Thanks for sharing the moment with us!
Haha, Joel, I remember that commercial! "Wehaddababyitsaboy!" Congrats! I think your sister was absolutely right; you all were blessed with three boys because you'll raise them to be upstanding, kind gentlemen.
I think you should try again for that girl
Same
same
bad idea
saffybrker fan ya u should
I had to pause the video because I'm about to have a good cry and I wanted to wait until after my nieces come by. Here's my story- I'm the only girl out of five kids. I have four brothers. Then I gave birth to three boys. There was not a girl born in our family until 34 years after I was born! I can't even tell you how much my heart ached to have a little girl! But the precious thing is that God filled my life with so many precious girls from friends who were closer than sisters to me and nieces... oh, Bonnie, I have the best relationship with my nieces who are now 12 and 10! And now that my boys are grown I have three awesome daughters in law that I am so glad I got to know once they were grown and already through the crazy teen years! And my boys... they have been the greatest blessing and the loves of my life! I'm so glad you were transparent enough to show your brief disappointment because I know we all go through it.. we have an idea of how our life should be and when it doesn't come out that way... well, God knows better than we do. When my third brother was born it was during the night and my Aunt came into my room about 3am to tell me the baby was here and it was a boy. I said, "turn the light out". That boy is now a business attorney who has done many great things and is so kind and generous to his family. He's marrying this awesome girl this Summer and just today she bought plane tickets to fly me, my mom and my sister-in-law from Georgia (where we live) to NYC for her bridal shower. I know this is long and I'm sorry but I just wanted to encourage you because I know what you're feeling. Trust me, this boy will be more of a blessing than you can ever imagine. PLUS he'll be a great friend to Calvin!
I forgot to add the best part... my first grandchild is due May 5th and SHE's A GIRL!!!!!!
My birthdays May 5th
Good luck 💜 have fun x
Congratulations on your soon to arrive granddaughter :-)
My Mother in law had 4 boys, no girls.....my husband and I have given her one grandson, and 4 grand daughters, shes in cloud 9 haha
I love that you're keeping it real!!! I mean you talked about being a little disappointed, about your wishes, about your fights with Joel.... It just makes it a lot more real! It's like your not the "prefect" portrait family, yet you are the PERFECT REAL FAMILY! Congratulations on that little baby boy!
Congratulations on another little baby! I absolutely LOVE the beginning talk in the car about you and Joel not seeing eye to eye. My SO and I go through the exact same cycle and it can be so exhausting to argue what feels like endlessly, but to see such a successful, happy couple going through the same thing makes the light at the end of the tunnel much more visible. Thank you for having the courage to share such personal struggles online!!
I absolutely love how real you are on camera. Thank you for showing the footage of you tearing up and being a bit dissapointed during the ultrasound. I could completely relate to your sudden dissapointment & tearing up. I have four boys. The first time I was over the moon to have a son. The second...third..and fourth time... I wanted pink and bows badly! The disappointment has nothing to do with the baby, it just has to do with realizing the gender combination you have always imagined/dreamed about will officially not become a reality. It can be a tough pill to swallow at first. :)
So cute everybody asking how was Olivia 😍
I had to really discipline myself to not go to the comments because didn't want a spoiler, I was also hoping for a girl, but a boy is fine too :-) Congratulations Bonnie and Joel
Bonnie now Calvin and your little boy can play
You are raising some of the most polite, respectful children. Every time I watch a vlog I feel so strongly the love you have for your family. You and Joel are amazing parents and teaching them great values. The world does need more truly GOOD boys/men. Joel is a great example to them. He is hardworking and very fun loving with all of your kids. Congratulations!! Love and Blessings from Arizona! Warmly, Stephanie
I'm a mom to three boys. Ages 6, 3, and 1. I thought they were ALL going to be girls when I was pregnant.
I love that you put your real life out there. Most social media only portrays the positives, not the ups and downs! Love you guys :)
Bonnie congratulations on another baby boy 💙💙💙 I love how honest and genuine you come off, even at the start of the video telling us about you and Joel arguing etc and not cutting out your genuine reaction to the gender makes us all relate to you its so refreshing! !. You and your family are fast becoming my favourite family vloggers to watch.
LOVE how honest you guys are about arguing. Couples argue. That's real.
Bonnie, I love how open and honest you are about your relationship with your husband and how you wanted a girl. Nothing goes the way people plan. You're an awesome mamma!
When your sister started talking about how this world needs more good boys and how you will raise this new little boy so well I started tearing up because she is so right!
Your makeup is on fleek! I love you attitude! We mommas all have days like that! I love how you turned it around! I remember I had 2 boys and prego with #3 and wanted a girl so bad! She ended up being my miss Bethie! Heavenly Father has a plan for you and this sweet new baby boy! I'm excited for you! Hugs!
It really does help to know that God wanted this for you because He knew it was the best thing for your family. He truly gives me so much comfort in everything that happens!
So true, Heather!
Aw Bonnie!!! Another boy! How exciting! I love how REAL you are! You always share exactly how you feel.... That is so refreshing!
What Julie and Joel's dad (who's hilarious by the way) said was the PERFECT response! Julie made me tear up!! How exciting Bonnie. You and Joel raise amazing little children of faith and he's going to do amazing things.
For all the people saying Lincoln will look back and be sad they wanted a girl.... I was the third girl and my whole family wanted me to be a boy. Makes sense to me lol, they didn't have a boy yet. It's not like they love me any less lol
I love the authenticity of your marriage!!!! This is so true and real for any good relationship ❤️❤️❤️
I love how honest you are, my Mum's 5th baby was a boy and she 100% thought it would be a girl, she wasn't allowed to find out at the scan so when she gave birth was so disappointed. It's a blessing that you are allowed to find out and prepare. We love our baby bro now tho obviously! xxx
Im on a Bonnie Hollein vid binge!! I love this entire family!!!! Such sweet loving people and amazing parenting to such adorable loving babies!!!!! Bonnie looks great with or without makeup!! I always LOVE her lashes!!!!
I couldn't stop smiling the whole time I was watching this! So happy for you guys, we want a little boy SO bad

💜💜
+Bonnie Hoellein I love ur videos
caylee
how come your shern are so adorable all the time
I came back to watch this because I was feeling sentimental and I can’t imagine you having any other baby besides Lincoln.... he’s so cute and perfect. He’s funny and handsome. What a guy. He fits in perfectly ❤️
It's so wonderful that you don't hide your real emotions. You aren't negative, but you don't censor moments that aren't always accepted by others, and that is REALITY and I love that you live in it! Mothers don't always have perfect thoughts and mothers have feelings and it's okay to love your children while still having little moments of disappointment. We can all see you have a tremendous love for your children and will love the baby no matter what gender.
I love how you showed your true feelings here. I just love how honest genuine you are! You have a beautiful family and this little boy will fit in just how God made him to.
Congratulations!! I love how real you are, especially with yourself. I appreciate that you did not try to convince yourself that you were happy about having another boy but accepted your feelings and then you were able to be truly happy about having another boy. Lots of love to you guys!
Bonnie, I have been in your shoes before. I have 4 boys and 1 girl. My girl is just our princess. Best of luck to you.
Congrats on the boy! I have to say it was refreshing to hear your honest reactions and feelings about wanting a girl. I loved the comment though about needing good boys in this world and that's so true!!!
So sweet that everyone was thinking of Olivia. Also, what Julie said was perfect! Heavenly Father knows how wonderfully you raise those boys and he knows you are the best fit!
You know - I love that you guys are so honest with your feelings because that's real life!! You and Olivia will have so many special moments together!! :)
I really love how honest you were! I could feel your disappointment and even though you know you are blessed it's like a breath of fresh air:)
Awww Bonnie.. Congrats! Just having a baby itself is such a blessing.
I cried through the whole video! I loved Ellie and Jared's reaction the best! You are amazing Bonnie! Congrats!
Every time I watch you I just cant get over how similar you and Ellie look, speak, and act. So cute! Sistahhh, Sistahhh
Ohh myy! I love Julies answer! So true. Congrats 😘 I was so happy to see this vid !
Oh Bonnie. Congrats. I know you are happy either way, but my heart just broke when you first found out. I could see that shock/pain in your eyes and just wanted to hug you. You're a great mom and it's good that there will be another well mannered boy brought into this world that will become an outstanding man.
Calvin and baby boy are gonna be so close in age and have so much fun together like Jackson and Boston
Yay for a healthy baby! Oh Bonnie I got tears in my eyes when I saw you getting choked up. I remember those feelings at our last ultrasound. Knowing it would be our last I had hoped for a girl to have one of each. We now have two boys! I wouldn't change it for the world although sometimes my heart hurts that I will never experience the joys of a daughter. So happy for princess Olivia! She deserves some good spoiling! You guys are an adorable family and baby boy #3 will make a great addition. Congrats again!
hahahahahaha I am rolling...and catching up on past videos...we used to say "wehadababyeetsaboy" when we called our mom collect, to pick us up hahaha, those were the good ol days of no cell phones and spending all our cash at the mall!
I KNEW IT! How fun for your baby and Calvin!! SO sweet x
I was right on Twitter, when you asked yesterday. ;)
Olivia will still be the only princess of this castle, followed by her three musketeers.
That was an awesome video, thanks for sharing!
Oh Bonnie! I loved this video. I have 4 kids. My three oldest are boys. When you got a little teary eyed that it was another boy, I remember that feeling so well. It made me cry watching your video. 3 boys are definitely crazy, but it's so worth it. They'll be the best of friends! My 4th was a girl and I cried even harder. Boys do love their mommy the most!
Bonnie I am so excited for your family. A new baby is such a wonderful blessing. I was also on team girl, and I could see the disappointment in your face when you found out it wasn't going to be a girl. But your reaction was perfection. I loved it. I love that you are honest about you and Joel having disagreements, your gender reaction, and other things. You are also SO honest. I love it. It is so refreshing and I know that so many people are so inspired by your moods, expressions and feelings, etc. Keep on being YOU! :) And congrats again on a precious healthy baby boy!! :)
Bonnie I lovvvvve how real you are! So great and refreshing to see how honest you were with your emotions! Congrats to your family!!!!
Congratulations! I have an uncle and aunt who had 4 girls and tried for a fifth- hoping for a boy- and it was another girl. At first there were feelings of disappointment like what you felt but my uncle said once they placed her in their arms he wouldn't trade her for a thousand boys. Right now your baby is an "idea" but soon he will be a precious child without whom you cannot imagine your lives! :-) Coming from someone who has been fighting infertility for four years: you are blessed! Congrats again.
Thank you for being real about couples and how all couples disagree. I love you guys so much! ❤️
Your makeup looks absolutely beautiful. I have a tendency to do the same thing with makeup when I am excited or nervous. Congrats.
Bonnie, I absolutely love and appreciate your honesty. You seem like such a genuine person and I'm glad you put your real emotions out there for us to see. I'm a mum of three boys and after one boy I desperately wanted a girl - imagine my shock at finding out we were having identical twin boys! Double the shock and emotions, but I completely adore having all boys. They're incredibly fun x
Aww Bonnie your my absolute favorite! Thanks for never hiding your feelings, gender disappointment is a real thing and your feelings are valid! Congrats an your FOURTH baby and third baby boy
Such an honest video. Looking beautiful Bonnie!!! Boy or girl the love is the same!! You guys have so much to be thankful for that I know your initial down moments will pass! You are so lucky to have this growing family.
My youngest daughter had microcephaly and died in 2004. You should vote for team healthy.
A beautiful baby boy! I loved how you put on a lot of makeup when you get excited! Too funny. I can't wait to watch all these beautiful boys playing together :) Congratulations
OMG! I totally know exactly how you felt!! I was told we were having a boy with our first and until he was in my arms I didn't believe it. Congrats you have a beautiful family. Joel is right you are an awesome mother!!
i appreciate your honesty!! no harm at all. congrats on your boy!!
i haven't commented for a while, but i just wanted to say: congratulations on finding out you're having a little boy! with your love and guidance, he will grow up to be an amazing (and handsome!) man. you're both fantastic parents who adore each of your children equally, and i'm sure this little one will be just as treasured as his beautiful siblings. thanks for keeping it real and not glossing over your emotions like so many youtubers do.
P.S bonnie, you're looking radiant as ever. makeup is on point! :D
x
Loved Julies comment!! "we need more good boys in the world"
You guys have amazing attitudes!!! Congrats! Just think of all the special mommy daughter between you and Olivia :D
I think it's sweet how your teared up when you found out it wasn't girl. Having another little girl would be so much fun for you, but I just know your life will be equally as blessed with another little boy. The boys drive you a bit crazy, but I'm sure nothing compares to the feeling of being loved and protected by your sweet boys. Olivia is such a big helper and such a sweet girl! It will be so much fun to see how much of a big help she will be and the bond you two will have will truly be unbreakable!
Congratulations Bonnie! I love that you're so honest on camera and don't put on a show for your subs, same with the few tears at the pregnancy reveal, you can be just a little sad about the gender but still be grateful to the Lord for the little guy ;) x
Congratulation... I just got to say how much I love seeing Joel wink. I wait and wait and laugh my head off every time he does it.
Now Olivia is your SPECIAL little girl! Bonnie, you and Olivia are going to be able to go out and have girl days with just the two of you and it will be very special. Congrats on little baby boy! Can't wait to see him and Calvin running around very soon! Love to all! - Cierra
Congratulations on another boy! I commend you on showing your true emotions through the day. Nobody is telling you the truth if they tell you they aren't at least a little disappointed if the gender is the opposite of what you kind of had your heart set on. It's totally normal. Like you said, as time goes on you can be happy and excited about it. In the moment it's hard not to show your disappointment. Your sister talking about how we need more good boys in the world was very sweet. She's so right. I am so very proud of raising a good sweet boy that I hope will be an amazing husband and father one day xo ❤️💙
And now look at Oliva she absolutely adores him💙💙
Bonnie, congrats on another boy! You about made me cry to during the ultrasound. I could feel your shock and brief pain. But I know that you will love that little boy like all your others and that you are still happy! Can't wait for more updates from you!
I totally agree with all these other subbies when they are grateful for your honest talk about how life REALLY is!
Every time I watch this video it reminds me of a dear friend of mine who has SEVEN boys. She kept hoping for a girl and decided she needed to stop!
My good friend is the only girl with 3 brothers and she loves it. She said it was so much fun being the only girl growing up, and she has lots of protectors! Lol
Congrats! 💙🍼
Congrats Bonnie and Joel!! I know you were hoping for a girl, but this world does need more good boys! And you are raising wonderful little men. Thank you for sharing your story so openly and honestly. I am very grateful when you talk about the rough patches in your relationship with your husband. It lets me connect to you and feel like we all have similar problems. Thank you for being so candid and not hiding that part of your life away. It inspires me to work on issues in my relationship, to try to be better for that other person. I learn a lot about life and who I should try to be by watching you. You're an inspiration. Thanks for vlogging!💜
Awe, I feel you Bonnie! My oldest is a boy,mother I had two girls. Thought our family was complete. Baby number four took us completely off guard. First I wrestled with the idea of having another baby for ages. Then the baby was born and was a girl, when I figured I was having a boy. I so badly wanted my son to have a little brother!
Our little Holland Grace has taught me over and over again to trust God with what He gives me. We recently found out that she is deaf... Once again, I am running to God for strength.
All this to say, your faith will carry you through everything that life throws your way. God has plans for your family that you could never imagine!
You broke my heart for half a sec when you got teary eyed. It's okay you had your girl at first and she will have 3 brothers it's super cute. 👍healthy is number 1.
I'm the youngest of 8 kids. The first 3 were from my Dad's first marriage. From my Mom and Dad, they had 4 boys, and I was the only girl. I LOVED growing up with 4 older brothers, and being the only girl! I just felt like I was special ;) So excited for you guys!
You tell Miss Olivia she is sooooo special - she wears the crown for being the ONLY princess around there. Same in my family, all boys until my girl arrived and shes still a princess (older than you lol). You need to celebrate - maybe a spa day just the two of you. Bonnie, no matter how you look at it - you are so blessed!
Aww I got a little emotional when Joel's dad said the boys are privileged to have Olivia as a sister. Congratulations! You and Olivia are going to be the best of friends xxxx
Congrats! It takes a special Mom to be a boy Mom. I have 2 girls and a boy...our 4th is going to be a little girl. I would have loved a brother for my son, but I'm very happy it's a girl because boys are a lot of work when they are little! Lol but I will pay for that mentality in the teenage years. I have 5 younger sisters and so I feel like I know girls pretty well. I am thankful I got my boy though and you have your sweet Olivia. Guess you'll have to go for #5 ;)
I also think you should try again for a girl.. i have four girls and my little one is a boy i love him so much im glad god send me a boy to have at least one that makes him even more special just like your lil girl shes going to be your princess and be your best friend..
Congratulations Bonnie and Joel! Man oh man it is the year of BOYS! Every person I know that is expecting right now is having a boy! I know a little mister isn't exactly what you wanted, but I tell you what, coming from a family of boys and being the only girl, it was actually really nice =] Olivia will really enjoy that one on one mommy/daughter time as she gets older and those boys are going to all take care of each other AND Olivia! Troop Hoellein! hahaha but seriously, you make adorable little boys, so I'm very excited for y'all =] Congrats!
Olivia I was the oldest and only girl out of 4 kids too! You may not like it now but you will in time... Congrats to the family!! 💜
I realize I'm watching this way late, but I love how honest your reaction was!
I saw your cute baby bump on Ellie and Jared's vlog a few days ago and I was like Bonnie is defo having a boy! Congratulations. What matters is that it's healthy.
When you started crying during the ultrasound, Bonnie, I started crying. And now I can't seem to make it stop.
We are expecting our first in september. I'm almost ashamed of how much I want it to be a girl, but I have (we both do) a strong feeling that it is a boy. I have just always imagined myself having a daughter. We have the perfect name picked out and I am so afraid of getting disappointed, when we (if we, still not 100% decided that we will) find out the gender in a month.
I have to say though, that I really really admire you for saying out loud that you are hoping so so much for a girl. Granted, you have had two boys in a row, so it might be 'more ok' then (if that makes sense?), but for me, I feel like it is somehow less ok. When we ask people what their guess on the gender is, almost everyone says 'it doesn't matter in the end'. And of COURSE it doesn't, but... it still does. It matters to the sort of picture you have made up in your mind, and I think it should be OK to say that you are a bit disappointed. And you sure showed that it is in fact OK.
Also: admitting to Olivia that you were initially disappointed as well, was really strong and honest and lovely to see.
Hop my ramble made some sense, thank you!
My mom, whose name is also Bonnie, has three brothers and she is super close with her mom now 💗💗💗 I totally agree that you guys will raise some wonderful young, Godly men! Prayers!
On the bright side, him and Calvin can truly grow up together! Being the only girl amongst boys, I can back up the whole "you will be best friends with your lone girl" because that's how my mom and I are. Best of luck and congratulations!
