Well I have been waiting about 7 weeks for my ultrasound (since they scheduled it during my 13 week ultrasound) and the day finally came! It seemed so far away when we scheduled it that I couldn't believe it was already here. The ultrasound tech started and asked if we wanted to know. Well, of course I said yes, I am not a patient person. I am also someone who likes to plan and now I can buy all sorts of things for my...little man! She asked me, "What do you think the baby is?" And I replied, "A boy." Well, my sweet little man had his legs spread wide, letting us get a good gander at his package. He is most definitely a little boy. He made that rather clear. When the Dr. came in to look over the ultrasound pictures she had taken he said, "Well that's kinda obvious," when he got to the picture of his little spread legs. lol. I am sooo happy that everything looks normal so far. I can't tell you what a blessing it is to have healthy children. Some people aren't blessed with having healthy children and I am sad for them. I wish every baby could be born healthy and perfect, but that just isn't the way of the world. Was I surprised to find out we were having boy number 3? No way. I was actually reading an article that said a lot of times people who have two of the same gender end up having the 3rd baby be the same gender as well. Who knows why, but it seems to be more true than not.
And here's the question that I've been getting: "Aren't you disappointed that it's not a girl?" Truthfully? A teeny, tiny bit initially. Only because I don't have a girl and I think it is in human nature to long for what you don't have. BUT-he is my little man. How would you like it if someone asked you if you were disappointed in the little person growing inside of you? Wouldn't that make you feel bad? Wouldn't that make you feel defensive? Well...I just want you to think about what you say before you say it because I am in no way disappointed in my baby. He is mine and Josh's and that alone makes me happy. I am not trying to offend anyone but please keep any comments about your disappointment in my little man to yourself. I can assure you that I do NOT want to hear them. I love him, his brothers love him, and his daddy loves him. And we don't love him any less because he is a HIM. I love him all the more for being mine.
