It's a BOY!

The scales are tipping in the male direction folks. I have a strong feeling that in a few years I will have lost control of the TV remote and the ability to keep dirt out of my house.

We're so excited!



Stuart's face was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G when our ultra-sound tech told us that it was a boy. His eyes got big and his smile-even bigger. With all those sisters, he thought he was pretty much doomed to have all girls. Alas, the time has come for him to have a wrestling buddy and sports-watching companion.

Nervous: The tech kept saying how "big" he was for being only 18 weeks along. She thinks my due date is wrong by a full week or two. I hope she's right, and that it's my due date that is off. Not just that I'm prone to having big babies (all 4 of us in my family were pretty big babies not to mention my sister and youngest brother were 10lbs and 11lbs, respectively). Stuart was pretty big too... alright, I'm just plain nervous.

And for everyone BEGGING to see a picture of me... here you go. I not only grow in the front, but apparently in the back as well. So annoying. Here I am in my "18 week" glory. (Lighting is AWFUL in my house... don't judge the pictures.)



Stuart wanted pictures too.



Oh, and he bought me my favorite flowers. I love when he does that :)

When I got your text I immediately thought of Stuart playing with Otto and the both of them looking under the couch for a ball. I am so excited for you. Don't worry too much, you will be fine.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm so happy for you!! and you are not growing ANYWHERE but your belly! you are so cute! I want to come meet Baby boy when he is born! Love you!!

How exciting!! My belly is definitely low so maybe that is true about boys being high and girls being low. I bet Stu was shocked coming from a family of four sisters! How fun!!

Steph said...

oh baby boy!--being a mom is amazing and having a cuddly little boy makes it even more fun! congrats (almost) on making it through the 1st year of Law School, to both of you!

i had no idea you were pregnant!(not that it's out of the ordinary for me not to be updated on your life... but i'm glad i stalked your blog at this specific post!) you are a gorgeous mama and boys are SOOO fun!!
also- you may end up losing the remote earlier than a few years because my one year old is obsessed with carrying it around the house! good luck! i will definitely have to keep checking in for updates :)
