January 16-23

Well this was an exciting week.

On January 17th we booked an ultra sound to find out what you are in there.

Now, my heart has to tell you I had hopes on something pink. But not because I don’t love you, or love you any less. Only because I am now officially scared to be a mom. For the past 19 weeks I had a feeling you were Blue but for some weird reason still had my heart set on a girl. I had daily dreams you were a boy and everyone in my life thought you were a boy. So I don’t know why I was so surprised. But now that I know, now that it is official, you have one scared Mom on your hands. What do I do with baby boys? Yes I had an older brother growing up but we are 4 years apart and lets face it, we didn’t even like each other until we were adults. I am not the girliest of girls but I do love girly things. I know what to dress them in. I know what they would want to play with. Boys? What do they do? What do they want? So I am scared. I am scared I won’t be a good mom. I am scared we won’t have a connection like I thought.

So, thankfully I have an amazing Husband to help me through all of it. Your Dad is the greatest person I have ever known. He is smart. Artistic. And loving. He knows how to treat a girl and is good at anything he puts his mind to. He will be there to teach you everything you need to know. Oh, I will be here too but I might just be clueless along the way so I’ll need your help.

But you know what they say? Little boys love their mamas. I plan on spoiling you, hugging and kissing you to death, and holding you tight every day.

So YOU ARE A BOY!

It is official.

In 21 weeks we will have ourselves a little man.All of the gender quizzes were completely wrong. All 30 or so of them that your crazy mom took. All of the heart beat myths were also wrong.

We have a few names picked out but I think we will save that for later.

So aside from all of that excitement and emotional roller coaster, you were in MEXICO this week too!

You were very well behaved on the flight down. But we must remember to pack snacks on the way back. Man you are one hungry little thing.

And guess what?

You got to swim with the turtles this week too. We stayed on a beautiful resort and the turtles and fish came right up to the beach so we could see them.

We had a great week. Back home soon though! But at least we got a tan!

Oh and…quit growing in there! Your mom looks like a beached whale right now. In fact, I even had to take out my belly button ring that I’ve had since my 16th birthday. Thank you for making me grow up really fast!

Oh and it says you are now a large Mango..but we are in Mexico so a coconut will have to do!
