A Boy

So, if you don't follow us on Facebook, you are probably unaware that we found out we are having a boy today. This met with some mixed reactions. I was hoping for a girl, just for the sole fact that I have AWFUL pregnancies and if I at least have one of each, and I were done having kids, it would be ok. So this news pretty much sealed my fate for try number three. Also, Jake is an ever-loving handful, so him times two seems outright ridiculous.
So I had my short moment of disappointment- But a short moment was exactly how long it lasted, because an hour after the news, everything changed.
I was sitting at my computer working and a very strong, clear-as-day impression came to me. THIS little boy has work to do here. THIS little boy needs to come now. I didn't have that same experience with either of my other pregnancies, this was different. I just get to be the lucky one to bring him into the world.
So bows and ruffles are on hold for a while. And I couldn't be more at peace with it.

Congrats! I think having two of the same gender in a row is the best. :) And having confirmation that you are supposed to have what you are having... I hear you on number three though. Even though I would be fine with another girl - I would like to experience a boy!

P.S. You guys make adorable boys!
