Three against One

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.

Meet B.Fuller

Greetings from EastRidge Hospital! Iam sitting in my bed, using the free webtv internet, waiting for my breakfast to arrive. I am sore and extremely tired, but I have to stay awake while certain medical personel keep coming & going.
But that isn’t what you care about, is it?
Baby Boy Crumley arrived yesterday at 3:34 pm. He weighed in at 7 lbs. 7 oz. He is 20 3/4 inches long. AND he had red hair! His father named him after watching the cuddle care nurse do whatever they do in the first hours of birth. He decided that our first son shall be named Buckminster Fuller Crumley. Webtv is really difficult so I won’t be adding a link right now to who the first Buckminster Fuller is. Just know that if you know D, the name fits his first son. That is all for now, my breakfast better get here soon. Tales from the hospital will continue later.

We will be leaving the hospital tomorrow afternoon.

No predictions, but…

Auburn is going to win tomorrow. WAREAGLE!

Oh, and I am 3 cm dialated and contracting consistently until I lay down. Booooooo.

I had a little bit of a breakdown in the doctor’s office yesterday. I was just so tired and feeling so heavy and sore. Once I got to D’s office I was feeling a bit better so I think we can make it another week. That is, if we have to make it another week. The thing about being 3 cm dialated is that I could stay 3 cm for weeks. (So no getting super excited missy- you know who you are.)

The weirdest thing about the appointment (and you might want to file this under TOO MUCH INFORMATION) is that while the doctor was checking me, she could feel the baby’s head! As she kind of tickled him/ her the baby kicked and squirmed. It was uber weird and cool all at the same time.

That is all for now. We will be doing little “getting ready for baby” things this weekend and bracing ourselves for getting through another week.

New toy

The latest addition to our baby room is D’s favorite piece of baby gear. We have no diapers to put in it yet, but it still makes throwing away any type of trash fun!
