It's a....

Boy!  The night before the ultrasound, I was worried that the baby would be sleeping and the midwife wouldn't be able to get a good look at his/her gender.  The next morning I was drinking lots of water and orange juice in hopes of getting lots of movement. Within the first minute she asked me "So, what do you think you are having?"   Well, even I could see it was boy so I guess I had nothing to be worried about!  We posted the actual ultrasound on Facebook and several of our friends mentioned how he was quite the exhibitionist! My dad's view was that he was probably sitting modestly and that the midwife was just a voyeur! I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion! Anyway, Ed and I are really excited about the yet unnamed gentleman joining our family.  I am the oldest and grew up always wanting an older brother so I secretly hoped it was a boy...but if it would have been a girl, I obviously would have been really happy about that...I mean, have you seen baby girl clothes??  And, not only that but mothers and daughters always have at least one thing in common--they are both girls!   Speaking of clothes, I ordered my first baby item ever when the gender was still a mystery.  Before I was pregnant, we'd refer to our future unborn children as 'cubs', as in bear cubs. Well, this little number was on sale at Old Navy and I guess if we would have had a girl, she would have been wearing it with a skirt and blue bow!

  1. We have the same onesie and I too bought it before knowing the gender! FUNNY!!!

    And I will send you our gender photo! It's the exact same! She turned on the screen and without asking us if we wanted to know gender, said

    "He's got an erection!"

    We were like...umm we didn't want to know gender, but obviously, it's a boy! HA!

    Congrats! So excited for you!

    1. You'll have to send it to me. I'm sure our sons won't appreciate their privates being shipped all over the internet in a 20 years but oh well :)

    1. Thank you for your daily prayers. I definitely appreciate it! I will have to send you the link to the ultrasound. Ed was able to take it from DVD format to just a regular video and posted all 14 minutes it if you want to see it, or at least part of it!
