What we found out yesterday!

Ahhhh! We're so excited! Just the reality of knowing that we're having a son is still sinking in; it's so fun to know and now to wonder, "What will he look like?" "What will he be like?"

Seeing our baby boy on the ultrasound was just amazing. We haven't had an ultrasound since 8 weeks when he was just a wee smudge on the screen. We have a great ultrasound photo of his profile; perfect little ear, nose, and lips.

I've also started feeling the baby move! It happened about a week and a half ago, just light little bumps and I couldn't be sure that it was the baby. But then they became more frequent and I started having the "bubbles" and "flutters" that other women have described and I was sure it was the baby. Now I feel him a few times a day. I can't wait until Chris can feel it too. It's starting to feel more and more real…

What a day!

    Yay!!! Little boys are just the best (though I may be biased). Did you feel the teeniest bit sad it wasn’t a girl? I was sure my first was going to be a girl so when the ultrasound tech said boy I was a little stunned for a moment.

      I didnt feel sad at all but it does somehow seem like less familiar territory to me whereas for some reason a girl would seem more familiar. Although logically I know thats silly because a newborn will be new territory period! But as I have more time to think about it I just feel more and more excited for a boy. Whats exciting is that I have 4 friends who live close by all due in January and February and theyre all having boys too! So we will have such a fun gang!

      Having a group of mom friends makes all the difference. When I had N there were 4 of us that had babies (all boys but one) within a couple months and it was a blessing!

      I feel so fortunate to be going through this with other moms nearby! So glad you have a great support network too 🙂

    A boy! Fantastic news. We’re loving having our little guy. He’s 6 weeks old now and has managed to pee on us several times. You might want to invest in those funny teepee things to stop the pee although it’s hilarious when it happens. The weirdest part for me was shopping for boy clothing. Everything is super gendered in the stores and being a lady, I didn’t know what to do with boy clothes. Who knows what his style will be? Anyways, it’s all very exciting. Congrats!

      Peepee teepees – check! Thanks for the pro tip! I agree, little boy clothes are so man-like, I just want baby clothes, he doesnt need to look like a man yet! Ill be doing some thrifting and am on the look out for simple and plain clothes. Did see some online at Gap and LLBean. Let me know if you find some good sources!
