Three against One

Published by at 6:43 am under getting ready for the gummy bear

Well there it is. Proof our family will be growing in testosterone next February and continuing to outnumber me. To spell it out: we are having a BOY. (Click the picture to see it bigger.)

We are very excited about this since we really like boys and would not mind a few more of them. Don’t get me wrong, girls are neat, but we just seem to be the types who prefer to stick to the snips, snails, and puppy dogs’ tails. I cried with happiness when the ultrasound technician typed the word BOY on the screen.

I think it will be difficult to convince Fuller of this since he is still thinks we are having a girl. Yesterday he was using a magnifying glass to peer at my belly button and kept telling me, “I can’t see her. Is she still in there?” We are happy he has made a breakthrough in pronoun usage, but it will have implications when he figures out he gets a brother, not a sister.

Sorry to my sister who is also expecting a little boy. This means we can’t swap baby clothes. My new son will be needing them himself. But I’m sure our sons will have a ball when they get together to play.

And, if you are now wondering what the name will be, I can’t tell you because I don’t know. In our house Damon is in charge of naming the boys. And in the last conversation we had about the subject, we decided to keep the information to ourselves until Baby Boy 2 makes his appearance in February.

Whoo! Bring on the baby stuff.

    Well, that makes life easier. But do you deserve double trouble (just kidding). Boys are neat but exhausting.

    congratulations! we LOVE having 2 boys. people always seem sad for me that we don’t have one of each. but having 2 boys makes things like clothes and sharing toys so much easier! plus, just think of the fun trouble 2 boys will get into. :-) enjoy preparing for this new little one.

    Congrats on the boy news! That’s great!

    I used to think I wanted four boys… until God gave me one girl. And now I can’t imagine anything different. : )

    Congrats on the boy! Boys may be a lot to keep up with but at least they’re easier to shop for…. jeans, khakis, polos, sneakers, done!

    And with the boys, momma’s always the queen

    I always thought it was “snakes, snails, and puppy-dog tails”.

    Boy’s rock!
