We are having a B-O-Y!!!!
January 10 has been a very memorable date for Dave and me the past two years.
January 10, 2011 – My AUsome Auburn Tigers won their first BCS National Title in 54 years!! Fortunately Dave and I were there in Phoenix in that very moment to celebrate a night I will put in the category as “one of the best moments of my life.”
Fast forward to this year.
January 10, 2012 – Dave and I found out that we are having a little BOY!!!! We are beyond thrilled and ecstatic. Since we plan for this to be our last child, we were hoping for a little guy but of course we would have been just as thrilled for another sweet little girl. Since I’m pretty much a girly girl, I’m not quite sure what to do with a little guy but I’m looking forward to learning. I wish I had a video of Dave’s reaction when the nurse informed us that the baby was a boy. It was extremely sweet. I’m happy that Dave will get the son he’s always dreamt of having! He is already looking forward to future Alaska trips with his son!
I also am happy for Lexie. I think she might have a hard time with a new baby in the house at first. She is definitely a Mama’s girl. She doesn’t like me holding anyone’s baby at any time. She gets very territorial of me. With having a little guy around, she still can be our baby girl and princess! She won’t have to feel the need to compete against her baby brother as she might with a little sister.
I think that having a boy will save Dave money. . . . .Not quite the selection of boy stuff compared to girl stuff. There is not even a quarter of cute boy stuff compared to girls. Most everything for boys is so cheesy. Even the bedding. I’m already frustrated with the bedding situation. But I think I’ve finally come up with an idea/colors. Stay tuned. . . .
Around this time last time I was pregnant with Lexie, I went crazy while shopping for her. I had a blast designing Lexie’s custom crib bedding, window panels, and bassinet bedding. Picking out nursery furniture, paint colors, and wall art was so much fun along with finding a chandelier to match. The clothes were to die for. There are so many things out there for girls.
Dave and I are still playing the “name game.” Hopefully the little guy will have a name soon. As for now, we will just call him little guy.
Little guy seems to be doing great. He loves to have a jam session every night around 11 PM. I remember Lexie did the same thing. As she grew, her sessions began at 3 AM. I wonder if the same will happen with this one.
The day we found out we were having a boy. Everything looked great! But the nurse did say little guy was measuring a tad bit larger than normal. She said it wasn’t anything to worry about. But as you remember, Lexie was 8.13 lb TWO WEEKS EARLY! The doctors say:
1.your second baby is usually larger than the first
2. boys are usually larger than girls. . . .
3. the delivery usually happens faster the second time around. . . .(I only pushed for about 20-25 minutes with Lexie). I can’t really imagine something quicker than that. . . . .
I didn’t gain much weight with Lexie so no one expected Lexie to be so big. The doctors were astounded. The doctors said there is no way to really tell how big the baby is near full term. But they said that they’d watch me closer this time around. I’m not worried about the birth right now, considering I have 19 weeks to go but I’m sure I will start to as the end nears. Praying for a healthy baby boy but I’m also praying he’s not 10 lbs!
