One - I LOVE my boys! they have tons of energy and guess what? That's a good thing! I love there energy and excitement. It can overwhelm people but I am here to tell you that its a good thing, they can grow up mowing lawns hiking and playing sports!
The second thing I want to say is this, we really did think this one was going to be a girl. So we where a bit shocked to find out we are having a boy, but not upset about it!
- those statements being said, I am going to be blunt and say that if you say anything that could (with pregnancy hormones or not) be taken as a negative statement about us having another boy, I will probably hold it against you for a long time. My boys are awesome , and if they are more energetic then you like,well don't sit by us at church.
PS. Holly, we are so glad you guys sit by us at church!
So we went to the ultra sound and found out it was a boy, being honest both Mitch and I expected a girl, I think enough things had been different, the thyroid issues and the Mitchell gaining weight and my hair and nails being different this pregnancy, that we thought pretty firmly it was a girl. It will sound horrible but we've had a girl name picked out for over a year, and have given almost no thought to boy names, well not yet.
The boys came to the ultrasound with us and they where really good. Kayden was very interested in a lot of the tools and the doc, nurses and ultrasound tech just fell in love with him. He and Eli kept talking about their bloodstreams and the baby growing bigger and just adorable stuff. Mostly they kept mentioning their bloodstreams- they refereed to anything on the ultrasound as their bloodstream.
Eli seemed to understand pretty well and when he saw the face and the ultrasound tech explained then he said "oh its so cute!". Kayden and Eli kept kinda discussing weather or not it was a girl or boy.
Its most definitely a boy.
The ultrasound tech, got a big kick out of our little hill because he had both hands up by his face and , both feet up above his head, seriously, she thought it was a hoot and took tons of pictures! Also with the 3d imaging we could see better. I don't think I did that with the other kiddos, it was just a normal ultrasound. We are just SO happy that baby is looking perfectly healthy. The heart (which is family history risk) looked perfect. Everything looks great. And by the way our baby has a cute little face and nose. Like my other boys this baby was pretty much sucking his thumb. SO cute.
The only other concerns at this point in the pregnancy are the same ones , keeping food down and monitoring all those hormones and blood glucose levels. The placenta is right in the way so we will have to check on that later to make sure it moves (hopefully it does, I really don't want a c-section) , I have a cyst on my ovaries but that's probably not a big deal so really health-wise things look pretty good!
Anyways, we are excited to have another Boy, we are good with boys and have tons of little cousins who are boys so it will be really fun for all my boys when they get old enough to all play together We are getting all geared up to decorate the guest room/ tuckers room for the new baby, and I am already planning matching outfits for all my little guys.
After the ultra sound we went out to Lunch to celebrate! we got balloons for the gender revel, and because the boys wanted to keep the party going to celebrate we also got cake and strawberries and my dear wonderful husband got me flowers. I love that man!
