You’re a Boy!

You are a little boy! Hurray! Of course we would have been happy either way, boy or girl. But I can’t lie, when the ultrasound tech pointed out your little ding-a-ling and said the words “your baby boy,” my heart skipped a beat. It’s really amazing to think that there is still so much we don’t know about parenting. You are going to teach us all sorts of new things. It’s a whole new adventure. I get to learn to be a mother to a little boy! 🙂

Can you believe what a ham your big sister is? She totally amazes me. Hopefully, she’ll teach you a think or two as well – like how to pose for the camera at TWO years old! Even though she may not understand fully what is going on, she really does know you’re in there. She gives you hugs and kisses freely and frequently inquires about you, “Momma? Baby?” And you can see her excitement from the photos we took. She’s going to be an awesome big sister. You’re going to be one blessed little boy.

And Daddy would have been happy either way, but there was no mistaking the light in his eyes when he found out that he has a son, a namesake, a garage buddy, another dude to share manly things with. There is no denying he is super stoked too.

Today was a good day. We are all so, so excited that in just a few months, we will be adding another little person to our family of three.

This time I was right. I knew you were a boy. I felt it in my bones. It feels so awesome to say that I (that WE, Daddy and I) have a SON. We cannot wait to meet you, little man.

20 weeks down. 20 to go.
