- I recently just learned what gender disappointment is and didn't like how it sounded when reading those 2 words next to each other. But, before I explain this I wanna thank Hellofresh for sponsoring today's video. Make sure to use my code HELLOCED16 for 16 free meals across 7 boxes plus free shipping and 3 surprise gifts! bit.ly/3NOmO1q
Gender disappointment was not what I experienced but being disappointed was. This is what I'll explain in the video while also sharing us surprising the girls they are having a little sister.
Much love,
Ced

FINALLY someone that’s honest and sais it like it is. Nothing wrong with admitting you wanted a son I wish we would see more of this type of honesty around . I bet you felt instantly better after posting this video too, speaking out loud reliefs a lot of weight from our shoulders . !
I think the next video I post I’ll feel the weight off my shoulders. I’m still processing and had a huge revelation yesterday. Thank you for the love and kind words Luna&Shay! Much love! ❤️
I couldn’t have put it better myself. This was so refreshing! 🙌🏽
@@Cedthompson i feel bad for you because you are out numbered
@@Cedthompson read my comment on this video. Very important boy swaying tips to get an almost 80% chance of a boy
Ced, dealing with the death of my mother this week but I’ve been watching you and Charlotte. I saw the recent video and when the sex of the child was revealed, I thought I heard Charlotte say, I’m sorry. WHAT!!?? why would she feel compelled to say that? I know completely that life has no assurances. The day before I lost my mom, I was going to buy her items for her living room and she had an appointment scheduled with a neurologist. It doesn’t matter now. For you Ced… it doesn’t matter bro, it doesn’t matter. Healthy, productive children that give back more to the world than they take out.. that’s important.
I’m so sorry to hear you lost your mother bro. I hope you are finding closure and healing and I’ll be praying that for you. I believe Charlotte said sorry because she knew I had a strong desire to have a boy not because she felt like she did anything wrong. For me, it does matter that I want to have boy. It’s something I wish to have but doesn’t mean It’ll happen and the more honest I am with myself about it the better for me. Appreciate the comment brethren and I’ll genuinely be praying for you. Much love ❤️
Am sending you hugs Edd
God bless your sweet soul and grant your mom enternal rest.
I work in Canada for CPS essentially (we call it something else here). Your girls are so fortunate to have you both as parents. Ced, if a boy isn't in the cards for your family in the future I can assure you there are programs in your community where you be the shining star of mentorship for boys and young men whose lives you would most definitely impact in an extremely profound way. You're already doing that for men who watch you in this forum and I know with your heart, creative mind and trust in God anything is possible.
I was just thinking the very same thing! And even if he doesn’t go with a mentorship program - which I think would be a great shame- he is still going to have an impact (outside of his awesome CZcams channel) on all of the boys that will be in his daughters lives over years. Class mates, team mates, neighbourhood kids, birthday parties etc etc it might even go unnoticed by most himself included but I guarantee all of the kids, boys or girls, will register in one way or another that there is something different about him, they will see or feel his pure heart even if they don’t know to call it that. And they will want to be around him and be like him.
There’s no stigma if a woman wants to have a daughter. So why should there be one if a man wants a son? It’s not unusual or uncommon to want that. That doesn’t change the love you have for your girls.
You’re a good father and husband. If you never have a son and you wish to do so, you can still mentor or coach boys who don’t have fathers and still help in the process of raising good men.
Congratulations on baby girl 3!
That’s my plan Aze. If I have a son or don’t coaching is something I plan on doing. Much love ❤️
there absolutely is stigma for women to want daughters. or any gender preference
@@Rivracost3 Can you elaborate? Is this in a section of the US? within a particular group (race, religion, socioeconomic group).
I've honestly never seen it so I'm curious. Thanks.
@@Rivracost3where ?😂
There is definitely stigma towards women especially if they wanted a girl. I’m dealing with it right now and finding out the gender of our baby last night.
I was so sure it was going to be a boy… Hang on tight, your boy is definitely gonna come💙.
Baby girl is going to be gorgeous 💗💗💗
Thank you Sasha! Much love ❤️❤️
I feel every bit of this. I’m 20 years out from having my last baby, but… I’m a mom of boys and when I found out this baby was a boy and I knew he was going to be my last my emotions really went through it. I felt guilty for having them, but I didn’t hide it. I cried and I was sad. My husband let me be sad. He didn’t tell me I was crazy or that it was abnormal. I mean I obviously loved my two little boys and this new baby, but there was just a finality to the fact that I wasn’t going to be a mom to a girl. My husband actually bought me a book called “OhBoy, OHBoy, OHBoy!!!”. It was written by a mom that had three boys. It was so funny that I died laughing, but that only happened after I stopped rereading the first chapter of the book which honestly took me a few weeks. The first chapter was about grieving… grieving the loss of the daughter she was never going to have. Letting go of all the plans we make in our heads for this thing we imagine is going to happen. I cried an ugly cry every time I read it. I was grieving and it needed to be done. My husband was horrified that this book he bought which was meant to make laugh and find my happiness again about bringing new life in to the world had actually made me more sad. The book actually did the job he intended because once I moved passed the 1st chapter I couldn’t stop laughing. Boys are hoot. I’ve enjoyed being a boy mom. Although, the other day I was talking to my husband about something that must have been related to having kids and I made the statement that sometimes I still feel a little sad about never getting the opportunity to be a “girl” mom. He looked at me and said I know and I wanted that for you too, but have you seen how hard it is out there for girls today. He’s not wrong, but the world is crazy for everyone.
Sorry for the long response but apparently I needed to get it out.
So as a mom to boys now in young adulthood figuring out life I find myself daydreaming about their future wives who I sincerely hope to bring into my life like the daughters I never had. I have such a wonderful relation with MIL. Fingers crossed that when grand babies start I get a granddaughter.
I say all this to you because, while it is more acceptable by societal norms for me as a woman to have had these feelings, you are also allowed to too! Just process and grieve if you need to. It’s healthy and ok. It also doesn’t mean you love your little girls any less. Love for them and sadness for what might not be can exist together.
Wonderfully written 💜🥺
Best wishes for you & your family 💜
My goodness this is my husband and I in reverse especially that part about never getting to be a girl mom (insert boy dad/having a son). It resonates with me as the mom because we BOTH wanted a son as our 3rd child. After 2 miscarriages at various parts of our conceiving journey (I don't know what else to call it; I don't mean IVF), the last pregnancy was different in every way so I knew it had to be a boy. Wrong.
I cried so hard when we learned we were having ANOTHER daughter 😢. Fast forward to the near death experience delivering our 3rd child (emergency C-section at 32 weeks, baby had no heartbeat and wasn't breathing). I knew from that high-risk pregnancy that my emotions couldn't handle another pregnancy. However, I was willing to sacrifice in the hopes a 4th child would be a son. No more pregnancies, but even 10 years later my husband hasn't fully healed from not having a son. I feel you 100% in that maybe if any of our daughters get married I'll have the ability to love a son as if he were my own.
Thank YOU for your raw feelings and emotions of your experience and your husband's thoughts ❤
Yo Ced! I’ve never been more proud of a CZcams video!!! Baby Boy Thompson is in our prayers for your family 💙🙏🏾
I felt that. When you mentioned that Char was experiencing a different carry experience than with Lucca and Maddie, I was anxious for that boy. It's a harem for you kid, and I love watching you with the girls. These little ladies are abundantly blessed to have you at the forefront of their lives. Boys will come into your lives as they always have and you will dispense your wisdom upon them. Your assignment has not changed. God hears the desires of your heart. You will raise great men.
I had my son first I was really young and had to grow up fast. My 2nd child I refused to know til birth cuz I wanted a daughter. I even threatened the midwife that if it wasn't a girl she was taking the baby home. I never really thought about why I was so wired up about needing to have a girl. Now listening to you it has me thinking.
God doesn't make mistakes blessings on you guys and the upcoming new addition ❤️
So what was the Gender of your 2nd child?
Ced, I was at work watching you speak on wanting a son and going into depth. When I say I was at working crying. Your reasons on wanting a son was never broken down that way. Normally, you hear men say to carry the last name. You can always adopt a child to instill these values into. Mentoring these same values into young men who father is absent in their life for whatever reason. I've seen the growth in you and Sir the Lord is not through with you. Thank you for showing us how and why a man should want to have a son. Much Love
Wow Shabrette, thank you so much for sharing this. I think most people thought I wanted to have a boy for the reason you stated and because I played football. But, it isn’t. I just wanna raise a good man. Thank you for the love and kind words. Much love ❤️
You got me over hear shedding a tear. I so thankful for your honesty and it’s been an honor to witness your growth and vulnerability. Thank for being you and being your self to each video. It doesn’t go unnoticed.
Much love Ginette! ❤
As daughter number three there was a pressure on my parents to keep trying until they had a boy. My parents were set on three girls and were done having babies HOWEVER my brother was born a short year after I was. Just know that if this last baby is your last the next best thing will be when they get married and you have their spouses and then their children. You are a phenomenal dad to your babies and they are so incredibly lucky to have you.
Thank you so much for sharing this Heather! ❤️
At first I was saying girl, but when Charlotte took you to the football stadium I was like maybe it's a boy. when she pull out the box,I was like ok she was tricking him , but nope lol. I was happy and kind of mad ,like why would she do all that , but it's a blessing! Girl Dad! Love y'all ❤️
Lol Charlotte doesn’t like tricks at all lol. So I figured it was a girl no matter what when I saw that pink smoke haha. Much love ❤️
I had the same thoughts
I thought the exact same thing. Taking him to the stadium also made me thought that it was definitely a boy and with the box I thought the same like you. Oh she tricked him. 😊😊
I think it’s such a powerful powerful thing to be able to understand and process your emotions. And Ced, I feel like ontop of everything you’ve been called to be, being REAL is a purpose you’re finely and beautifully walking in. And for that, you’ve won at life. Cheering you on, you super dad 💙 will forever rock with you and your little fam 😊
I haven’t even finished watching the video yet but I’ve been watching your channel for a few years now and what i appreciate the most is your honesty. It’s a refreshing and I admire you for it!
I absolutely love how honest you always are!!!! Congrats on baby girl #3
This was truly touching. I think the FAM BAM community wanted a son along with you. But, as I watch this video, it dawned on me. You have been given sunshine through Marcus, and you have been very instrumental in his life, assuming a fathership role in his life.
Wishing the family best wishes for blessing number 3. She looks like Luca.
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing all this. Appreciate you and your fam. 💜💛
Much love and respect for this video. Charlotte and them girls are very lucky to have you. You're the realest they come
Thanks for sharing your honesty !
Don't give up yet Ced - it can still happen!!! As long as your baby is healthy is the important part!!
I just have to say the transparency in your videos is what keeps me coming back! You don’t have to let us in but you do! Honestly it’s not often men are as open as you are about your true feelings. These videos truly challenge me to also look inside myself and be honest and open about the real feelings of life! Again, thank you for being real❤️
We love your honesty Ced! You are a great dad and nothing is wrong with having that desire for a boy. Thank you for always letting us in! Praying for good health and a safe landing for Charlotte! Much love❤
Hello! Thank you for being vulnerable with us once again. I wanted to share that I am raising 2 boys and have been watching your channel for a long time. I have caught myself using some of the lessons you have shared with me in my boys. You are helping to raise good men, even if you don’t know it. Thank you for being a positive influence in my boy raising journey. Much love.
This was beautiful ! Thank you for sharing
Bro!! I remember you and I spoke on the phone a few years ago before my daughters basketball practice. I know EXACTLY how you feel on this particular topic . I have 4 daughters and was extremely disappointed and emotional when my 3rd daughter was born . ( Doctors thought she was a boy the entire time up until her birth) . But , as you know all too well,God doesn’t make mistakes !! Enjoy bro .
He doesn’t brethren! Let’s hold it down for all the girl dads! Much love ❤️
@@Cedthompson we have to talk again soon Bro…
@@CedthompsonYou will Be Like Kobe Bryant A Girl Dad, I can’t say I feel your pain because I have 2 boy and 2 girls I been watching your channel for a while, Me and My wife been married now 25 years and me and my wife adopted our kids from baby stage because me and my wife couldn’t have kids naturally like you and Charlotte
Did you do the blood test that reveals the gender? Even that said it was a boy?
Wowza. Always a pleasure to be looking into your scope Ced! I totally understand your thoughts about wanting to have a son. I totally get your unsaid desires that you shared with us. At the end of the day, there is still so much unfolding to be done...especially at that delicate transition from your baby girl slowly onward to womanhood. May God help us all...but I believe you hit the nail on the head and have spoken for the lot of us and our unsaid desires.
Thankyou! For being brave and being a man. Sharing your deep true feelings to help other fathers understand what they may be going through.
I love the uniqueness of this channel, especially through the name so transparent❤️
You couldn’t have explained it any better! Thank you for sharing your perspective and truth it helps to create clarity and the opportunity for others to understand! ❤️😊
Thank you HC! Much love ❤️
Your daughter's are so blessed to have you as their dad. Many blessings to you and your beautiful family.
Love this video so much ! Raw emotions are genuine, raw is human 🙏🏽
Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉 I always believe God gives you what you need! One day...that little boy may be here. I really appreciate how honest you are. This little girl is already so special! Can't wait to meet her!
Ced your reasons for having a boy you can tell were honest through the emotion in which you spoke plus actions we’ve seen your growth as a person through your videos and how you took in Marcus it was a short period but still you showed a lot with how you’d handle a son while he was with you guys and how much he’s grown as a person if your family does try again one more time I hope you do get the son you’re hoping for but if not we all know you love your girls with everything you have
Awwww Ced bless your heart. You still may have that boy. You guys are still young. Time will tell. Tyfs God bless you
Hope y’all can continue the podcast someday! Realized there was no rating in Spotify, so made sure to give y’all a 5 star
Thank you for your honesty, Ced. This was amazing to watch. This really opens my eyes to the perspective of little men being led my their fathers. Simply because THATS RARE! Prayers towards processing your emotions and thoughts. Annnnd, prayers to your now strong, three beautiful girls. Because having a dedicated father in girls lives changes EVERYTHING!
Much love OG ❤️
Thank you for this video! The way you articulated your thought process/feelings was very helpful for so many men out there especially us black men, who are not always taught how to deal with our emotions. Everything you said was on point and never thought of it that way how your daughters prepared you to be ready to raise a son. Definitely a very inspiring video, God bless you man and your beautiful family! Your channel is blessed 🙏🏾
I totally understand what you are saying. It’s ok. Thanks for keeping it real. Much love
Much love J! ❤️
This really hit me I enjoy how you can express your emotions with us I’m a mom of 4 boys that were born first never in my wildest dreams I thought I’d have a girl Thru it all I kept faith I’d get my girl and grace hit me with my daughter the 5th and finally it happened so don’t give up hope your son will come just once it’s the timing for him…Congratulations on your 3rd princess and all the blessings coming…much love n respect ✊
I love love love your honesty. Congratulations
I love the community you’ve created out of your content, Ced. Always keeping it honest and raw. I’m mostly a silent viewer and probably only my second time commenting but I love this channel, your family, and this community. Thanks for always keeping it real. No matter what.
Thank you so much OG! It’s good to see you comment again! ❤️
My dad fathered all girls, 4 of them. When he was out in public people would ask can't you make a boy? He answer was "I love the pattern in front of me and so I replicate it"
I love the fact of how vulnerable you are in this video and how you have always been. It’s nothing wrong to say you desire a boy even though your super happy to be a girl dad. I’m extremely happy you lol I low key really thought you were having a boy. What’s meant for you will always be!! Bless ✊🏽
Your are genuine and it's emotional..Trust me 3Girls are the luckiest angels to you.. ❤️
Yes!!! Loved this video and it made me emotional! Love the transparency. 💜💜
Love ur honesty 💯
This video is everything! My hubby is also a girl dad! He wanted a girl from the beginning and it shows. She is definitely a daddy’s girl! I totally appreciated this! How transparent and just so beautiful to hear a man speak of his daughters that way and the example you want to be & are already for them! 🙏🏽🙏🏽! 💞💞💞Much love to you and your beautiful family!🙏🏽🤗
Thank you for being real, it helped me. It helps others.
You are an amazing father! Your honesty is refreshing to hear and understanding the reasoning behind that desire makes so much sense. I wanted a boy for you all so badly as well, but you all are truly so blessed and those babies are blessed to have such a beautiful parental unit who love and support them unconditionally. On the bright side, these little ladies will know their worth and won't put up with anything less than what they deserve because they have a father who will be THE example of what a man is and an even better understanding of healthy relationships because of what you and Charlotte have taught and shown them. Even if she is the one to complete your family, all is well because she will be so loved and adored by everyone and the bond those sisters will have as they grow together will be everything! 🥰 Congratulations on another beautiful princess!!!
Thank you so much for the love and kind words! Much love ❤️
Charlotte and Ced have the cutest girls!! Congratulations
Thank you Gaby! Much love ❤️
💙 The man you want to raise is already the man your daughters are learning to resonate with. You're desire is noble, may it come true 💙
I agree with you! Nothing wrong with how you feel! Keep it G!
Ced, thanks for sharing. I’ve seen your heart for mentoring guys with your cousin. I knew from watching the vlogs that you would want to do that with your own son one day. But, I’m excited to see how you use this desire to be an amazing mentor to guys who need it. Don’t think that without a son, you can’t nurture that desire and put it to use. I know my God and he works in mysterious ways sometimes. I know he will guide you and Charlotte to make the right decisions concerning your family. The story is not over yet. And one way or another you will impact and influence many guys!
💕 That’s Deep I love when a Men know how and when to be vulnerable
Its great that you honestly express your feelings. I really wanted a girl for my 2nd child and ended up with our 2nd boy. While i love him to death and wouldn't trade him for anything there was a little disappointment for a small time. It doesn't change our love and joy for the child we have. I love how you used the word "desire" to express the feeling. Much love. You are a great girl dad and can't wait to see your newest baby girl. 😁
all your girls are so lucky to have you 💜 blessings!
Thank you Melissa!! ❤️
You’re doing a Kobe repeat, you’re blessed 🙏🏾❤️
ALL MY LOVE
You know what Ced? I really appreciate this! I’m the oldest of 4 and my youngest sibling is a boy. He is a joy!! My husband has two girls already and we both have a strong desire to raise a boy. I’m not pregnant yet but I have realized that I can have that desire but still ADORE having a daughter. Two things can exist at the same time.
Hubby and I are willing to even volunteer locally to give young boys support… I enjoy this platform and I will pray for God’s continued blessing.
Congrats brother! Having healthy beautiful children is a blessing.
Much love Shyne! ❤️
Girl Dad’s rock 💖💗💕💞💖
I’ve been a subscriber since the engagement video.
I never comment and honestly, I had lost connection with your channel.
I have watch the majority of your vlogs in the last couple of day.
My parents had three girls and they are both to this day my best friends.
My husband died unexpectedly and my entire life has blown up and I’m struggling and can’t find my place in this world without him.
I was 23 when we got married and I’ll be 60 next month.
Your vlogs have made me think a lot and there are so many people going through life so much harder, but they are such a inspiration as you and yours are.
Honestly, I’ve never regretted not being able to have children until he died?
Thanks for letting me have a outlet on your vlog.
Melanie from North North Georgia.
Thanks so much for being courageous and speaking your truth. Charlotte I heard say sorry as well, but I know you will love your girls the same as your desire for a boy. I commend you. I appreciate your honesty and recognizing that your feelings and emotions matter as well. Congratulations to you all.
Hi Ced you are an amazing husband and father. You are right by having your little ladies they get to see how a man should love and treat a woman. They get to see mommy and daddy work as a team and also life is not perfect there will be ups and downs but as a family you work together always. Nothing wrong with your desire to have a son by having one is a different kind of legacy. The bond between a father and daughter are different but still a bond of love. Keep doing what you do. You are still growing and evolving. Thank you for being real, authentic and sharing your journey with us. Much love ❤️
I'm so in awe at the man you are! My daughters dad left her at 2 years old and then at 10 years old told people she died to get out of work. It sickens me that someone could that far about their own child. But to him he's never been in her life. I have been a single mother for 20 years and i never dated around because i did not want her to get hurt or myself. So it was me and her against the world and i loved every minute of it. Seriously more men need to be like you. You have a beautiful family!
saw a tik tok that explained the shettles theory when it comes to conceiving, could be worth a try if a 4th child is desired lol. congratulations to the thompson fam! what a blessing, excited to see the next little girl grow like maddie and lucca.
Much love JCMC! ❤️
Ced it's all a beautiful blessing. Healthy baby healthy family. Your a #1 girl Dad. Be blessed.
Ced, thanks for being so honest. I know this is tough for you and I can understand your desire for wanting a boy. I could tell you were there but weren’t there at the stadium when you kicked the ball. I really wanted you guys to have a boy because it would be a beautiful experience yall haven’t had. Keep your head up, Ced! My dad is a girl dad, 3 daughters to be exact and he loves us but I know he always wanted a son and that’s okay I never have doubted his love for me because he had a desire for a son. God is with you. God bless!
Good morning my favorite family, 1st things first, CONGRATULATIONS to you both for your new baby girl blessing that's on the way. You choose to being completely open and honest with us. I watch to listen, laugh, cry, understand, and learn. I totally understand what you're saying and with much respect it's how you truly feel. I know for sure lots of men in your situation feels the same way. My son who's in a relationship with a young women for over 8 years who have two girls felt the same exact way that's helping her raise her girls. When they were expecting their first child together, they both were in high hope of a BOY, heck we all were. So the pressure was on which so not fair at all. We all had to Stop and realizing it's not up to us period. It's like playing the mega million, no one knows who's going to have the winning ticket until numbers are reveled. It's always been clear to me, you love your role of being a Girl DAD. You and Charlette makes beautiful girl babies. Each one looks like you both. It's natural for you to want a boy who would reflect YOU because you already know what that's like. I think your meanings for wanting a SON is beautiful and a normal emotion to have. You have to raise Girls differently then Boy's because they are different. You heard the saying a woman can't raise a boy to be a man. You have to already know you are very blessed to be in this position your in. You are already raising boy's to be Strong, Black Men with the content you share to the world. There are men who are young fathers with son's and daughters who watch your video's who wasn't blessed with father's in their home. Because of YOU, you are doing just that with each message you put out to the world for us to see. You may not have your heavenly son here to experience all that with but he's watching with much smiles, his father do what he does Best. You are an Awesome Girl dad, and mostly your already a Boy day. Continue to be organically YOU. As your family continues growing, you will have that honor of having a Son in GOD's time. Take Care and continue to be forever blessed. Love you guys.
U and Kevin edwards my fav vloggers …
Dope that u interact with subscribers! Congrats on the new girl on the way !
Appreciate the love bro! Glad you are here with us!
You are an amazing dad Ced! 💖
Thank you SR! Much love! ❤️
I loved everything about this video. I pray your truth helps more parents out there. God bless you guys ✨
So very sweet...I love this family
So thankful for you opening my eyes towards men looking disappointed at gender reveals.
Cedrick you have it locked. Honesty is the best policy. Nuff love.
AND is important. We are made to think that we have to be on one side of anything. The truth is, there are often more than one truth. You can be excited and grieved at the same time. I was extremely sad that I lost my mom and she wasn't going to be with me when I had my daughter AND overwhelmingly eager to meet my daughter sitting in the same hospital bed. Crying and smiling. Life is just that way and that's OK.
Love this video, you have everything down ! And you soo right not to bottle things in very good advice , my husband and I learnt that from our journey.
Thank you Maya!! Much love!! ❤️❤️
Ced you are a perfect dad for beautiful, loving, caring, princesses! Blessings!
Thank you Carmen! Much love! ❤️
Thank you for being very transparent with how you feel Ced.
#GirlDad
Hi Ced, watching and listing to you, was so encouraging to hear you being honest about having a girl. Bravo Ced!. You are completely blessed!. Your boy is coming it's just timing......... your a fantastic family, God bless you all ( smiling)
Much love Lorraine! ❤️
Wow , I really liked this video. I feel like God blesses us and gives us what He thinks is best for us. I have two boys and my heart dropped when I found out I was having another boy because I wanted a girl. It’s ok to be disappointed, I loved your outlook you took your disappointment and handled it so well. I appreciate your honestly and transparency. That moonlight discussion about fatherhood even though I’m not a dad I felt that. It’s so wonderful to see parents who are not just having kids who accept their role and take it seriously. God bless you and your family. Wishing you and the family the best ❤️
Thank you for the love and kind words Stacey! Much love ❤️
Awww Ced, this was such a beautiful and honest response as to why you wanted a son. I know that we all wanted you to have a son because it's like "every man wants/needs a son," but I've never ever heard a man say he wanted to raise another good man. It was a different perspective that was honestly refreshing to hear but I know we all can't wait until your newest angel comes to you. I believe your desire is there because it's God's desire for you to have that son and He will fulfill that for you, it just might take awhile. It may be the 4th (or 5th hehe) baby. You have the perfect spirit, insight, and perspective for your daughters and as you said -- they are helping to equip you in what it will take for you to raise your son. Continue to trust God's timing and His plan! I'm so so happy for you guys and I'm excited for baby girl's birth!! 💙 much love!!
I’m in tears because you are so beautiful. Your heart is so big and your spirit is blessed. You may not have a birth son, but maybe you can be a love father to a young man. The road is not ending, life may bring you to that day. God bless you all.
Thank you for your love and kind words Stacy! Much love ❤️
This here is some KING talk!! Do your thang, GirlDad!!
Much love Nessa ❤️
I want to validate your feelings Ced, it’s completely understandable & normal to feel how you feel. I’m a boy mom & always have those thoughts of how I could raise a daughter to navigate this world. However when I delivered my boys and saw those precious faces, I knew even if I could’ve rewinded time & chose a girl I wouldn’t. I love what I was given too much. Prayerfully one day you’ll get your son, or a son-in-law that you can impact in a great way. Congratulations again to your family, God bless!!
This is beautiful VH! Thank you so much gif sharing. Much love ❤️
Just found out I’m going to be a first time dad! Your vids are definitely helping me understand the process and sacrifice of fatherhood. Along with Gods word, these videos are a gem on my journey to help my wife through her pregnancy and beyond! Thanks brother! God bless
There is still hope yet brother! I went through this exact same rollercoaster, found out my third one was a girl and I cried like a baby because of how badly I wanted a son 😂. I resonate with a lot of your reasoning as to why you wanted to have a son, that was my thought process too.
Eventually I came round to the idea of being a ‘girl dad’ until one day my wife told me we were expecting again 😭. I went as far as choosing girl names ahead of time because I just wasn’t going to go through that cycle of anticipation again.
Long story short, we found out the gender and it was a boy 🥹 (conceived during the peak of the pandemic).
Your story is still being written! Much love to you guys ♥️🙏🏾
I really love this video. I hope you get your baby boy one day. You’re an awesome girl dad. Congrats on y’all’s sweet baby girl! I’m kind of watching your channel backwards.. newest to oldest videos.
Thank you for being Humble, Open & Transparent about this!!! Definitely happens more often than it being talked about. We already have a girl & my husband is praying that this baby is a boy…. Lol! I told him I have a feeling its another girl, but I would be happy either way! He will be too. Just that all our pets and us are girls, so he feels out numbered, haha! But he will be happy if its a girl too. He’s been through so much with his dad where it was mainly negative throughout his childhood & he wants to break that cycle whenever we have a son. So I totally understand why you want a son as well.
Appreciate you OG! ❤
Thank you for your transparency as always. I think I’m reminded of when you say Desires in our hearts, I do believe the Lord here’s us it’s just about his timing and being able to sit in what he’s blessed us with already. For me I dreamt years ago I had twins and honestly I had let go of that thinking it’s not what Gos has for me. But then after you speaking about a desire for a boy, My perspective changed to hold on to Gods promises and when he’s ready that desire will come a reality. May not look like how I imagine (meaning I might not birth them myself) but he’s faithful and just and keeps his word. Thank you Ced again for the reminder, you ministered to my heart indeed.
Thank you for sharing this Kimeko. Truly means the world to me. Much love ❤️
Nothing wrong with wanting a son and feeling sad about having another daughter it’s normal. When I found out I was having my second baby I was so hoping and praying for my little girl I had a son already and really wanted a girl. When we found out we were having our second son I cried and was just sad, but then i came around and was just so happy and blessed to have another healthy little boy coming into our lives. I’m happy you shared this with us.
Just stumbled across your channel today and am really impressed with it. You are a beautiful family and it's refreshing to see a father/husband who is active in his family. I think it's normal for a man to want a boy just as a woman may wish for a girl after having boys. looking forward to watching more vids.
💕. Well said, Ced! 💕
I proud you Cedric
I was definitely pulling for a boy this time but watching your family grow and seeing how you and Charlotte are raising strong beautiful girls is such a blessing. Always next time ❤️😀😜 🙏
What a wonderful Dad.
May God Bless your family 🙏🏽💪🏽❤️
Keep the faith and know that you still might have a son someday right when God see fit. You're a great man, it shows.... stay blessed and thank you for being honest.
OMG, Maddie is so lovely 💓💓💓
Ced, you're a great girl dad and God has prepared you and blessed you with two beautiful and healthy sweet girls. Congratulations to you, Charlotte and the girls. Many blessings and love to you all 🙏❤️🍼
Thank you Ms. Mae!! ❤️❤️
