IT'S A BOY!!!

It's hard to believe that 1 year ago today was the day of our big ultrasound, where we found out that we were expecting a little boy!! (and even more importantly, that everything looked perfect on the ultrasound and he was developing right on track) I remember being SO anxious and excited to get to that appointment in the morning, I was like a little kid the night before Christmas & I couldn't sleep (thus, the exhausted look on my face in the picture below) Here I am that morning at exactly 18 weeks pregnant:




Everyone was guessing that we were having a girl, so to a certain degree I was surprised that we were having a boy, but at the same time, I was also expecting it. Let me explain...I have always said that little boys made me nervous. I didn't know what to do with them. They get dirty, they're rowdy and they're loud (and yes, I realize that is completely sexist and stereotypical of me to think, but that's the image I had in my head!) Thus, I figured that I would have a boy first so that God could prove me wrong and make me tougher :)

While I'm still nervous for when he gets older & is running circles around me, needing stitches and beating his friends over the head with a matchbox car, I can't imagine my life without a little boy in it now! I am hoping he is well on his way to being a mama's boy (a well adjusted one, not one of the super needy/creepy ones who can never have a normal relationship with any other women because of his mom!) But you know, if he wants to go to college within a 30 mile radius of our house, that's just fine by me....
