Yesterday the techinician said she saw boy parts. Totally expecting to hear we were having a girl I was shocked, Don was shocked, and my sister shocked! I have to admit I cried. I know that there are women who can't have babies, I know that there are circumstances completely tragic and I don't feel that I have the right to feel anything but joy. So please be gentle with my heart. I feel ugly even sharing that I wasn't completely filled with joy in finding out the sex of my baby. However, I am glad that we found out. I like knowing now. I will tell you too that my husband is not convinced that it's a boy. He thinks that the US tech wasn't certain. My sister and I didn't get the same impression. However, she didn't spend much time looking for the sex, or take any pictures. It seems that they usually do that I wish we would have gotten that. :) It's kind of fun to use those to tell people what you are having. Oh well. Yesterday my sister came to the cities with her boys. Last night I was watching these crazy boys, whom I love so so so much, wrestle around and make faces at me through the window. It totally filled my heart. I am so excited that Brody is going to have a brother. I believe that brother's and sister's can have a strong bond but I believe that siblings of the same sex can have a bond that is even stronger. My sister's are irreplaceable. I know that life is going to be so fun with boys. I hope that they will be best buds. I imagine them going fishing together, playing sports together, watching FOOOOTBALL together, and according to Don Brody needs someone to help take him down because he can't do it alone. ;) I guess we will see in about 20 years if that is true or not.
We love you darling baby boy! I can't wait to figure out your name, meet you and get to know you.

Don't feel bad. You are not the 1st or even the millionth parent who was a little disappointed at first with the ultrasound results. My grandmother said she cried when her fourth baby was a boy because she wanted a girl so badly. I thought I wanted a girl too but once I got over the initial shock I was really glad I ended up with another boy. I think I can deal with boys better than girl drama.
Awww...its okay to feel that way!! But I know once you see that adorable baby boy and you see Brody begin to interact with his brother you will be so thrilled.
I was definitely wrong on this one!
Aw Jen! I'm actually glad you shared this, because first of all, I think reacting the way you did is only normal and human, but I admit it will also make me feel better on Thursday if we find out Ethan is getting a third sister instead of the brother he really wants... You just never know! Glad you seem to be at peace with it, and you know, you're young enough that you two could still try for that girl if you decide to? ;) Love ya!
1st time by here, congrats on your little boy! We have all girls...no little boys over here :)...so I understand the way you felt, I think it's totally normal!! Now I can't imagine it any different :).
Awww, aren't you too sweet. Thanks for stopping by and praying with us.
Your little guy is scrumptious and I bet your new little one will be as well.
I love your photos.
