Well I'll Be ......

We walk in to have the ultrasound and the lady asks Brian what he does, he replies I fly on the AWACS. She laughs and says in the 30 years I've been doing this every AWACS baby has been a girl! I smile and nod and Brian looks like he could get up and leave right then. So we begin...
Two words I never thought I'd hear - flagpole.

Yes that's right after all this time I spent flappin my gums about how this baby was going to be a girl and all the rumors about AWACS babies and midwives tales and conception date theories - Brian is getting his boy and I am now outnumbered 1:3.



He is definitely a mover and a shaker and a kicker and the poor kid has Brian's feet already. Everything looked good and healthy and normal and we are super excited. As excited as I was about a girl, I'm super excited about this baby boy and I'm even more excited for Brian. He walked a little taller coming out of that room...

  4. OH my! There is no question about what this baby will be, is there? HAHA. When I found out I was pregnant with Chase, I felt weird about having a boy growing inside of my body. I would trade HAllie for anything, but boys are so SO much fun. You're going to love it.
