It's a BOY!

Dearest baby, should you ever read this blog and wonder why Momma is so crazy this will hopefully give you the answers you seek.

Yesterday was a VERY emotional day for all of us- we saw you once again, and for the last time, until your official arrival. And we learned MANY things about you: you are INCREDIBLY active (which Momma knew), you are currently in a very awkward position, you DO NOT like showing your face, you are a little boy and are perfect in every measurable way.

Unfortunately I do not have the pictures I had hoped to post of you today because you had your little fists ground into your eyes the entire time we had the ultrasound being performed. The poor technician tried every trick in the book to get you to move but your little hands stayed exactly where you wanted them. So, we do not have any pictures to share. I was sad about that- I was so looking forward to meeting your face!

As for the reaction of "it's a boy" I'll have to say it was met with some mixed reviews. Big brohter Andrew is, of course thrilled. Though he is a little incertain about sharing his room... Daddy was surprised- he had thought you to be a girl. Mommy was so relieved that everything was where it should be and that you appeared very healthy, aside from your strange position in my tummy. Little sister Ellie on the other hand, was extremely upset that you were not the baby sister she had asked for. She very much wanted another girl, and when she was told you were a boy she immediately broke into tears.

I know that she doesn't understand right now, but she will. Let me tell you that as soon as she holds you, feeds you, smells and kisses you, your little sister (or your Momma or Daddy or anyone for that matter) will see nothing but the purely perfect little boy you are and we will love you so much that you'll be bursting with it!

Now comes the oh so difficult part of choosing a name for you, sweet boy. I can only hope that we do you justice...
