Oh Boy!

We had our ultrasound on Friday and as many of you know HE showed off easily and we got to meet our SON! I was actually in a state of shock for most of the day. It was pretty funny, but I honestly didn't even consider the fact that the baby could be a boy until the morning of the ultrasound. I guess because I already have a girl and all girl things, I'm a girl and I wanted a sister so badly for my daughter that the thought of having a boy never crossed my mind. Haha! Eric had even thought the baby was a girl since we had talked about it so much, but secretely was hoping for a boy. He cooperated very well to let us know he is a boy right away, so there was no suspense. The rest of the ultrasound was actually a bit difficult. I guess he is asserting his independence already and didn't want to position the way the tech needed him to. We didn't mind this because we got to see more of him (as she was trying to get him to flip over). He was head down and butt up, so we didn't get any good profile shots. I think the tech felt bad for us, so she put on the 3D probe and instantly we fell in LOVE! It is so amazing what they can see with that technology! We were so excited to get such an intimate look at our son! What a special moment. God truely is amazing.

After the ultrasound I had to go to work, but Eric told me Alahna gave a big pouty face when he told her she was going to have a brother. She definitely wanted a sister, but she is a tom-boy at heart and will love chasing him around, playing trucks (teaching him to play dolls and kitchen) and sports. We went shopping at Kohls yesterday and I finally got really excited to have a little boy. The polo shirt/shorts one-piece outfits are to die for! I think he'll live in those for the summer =) It is definitely going to be different but I can't wait to experience what a little ham he'll be =) Eric is sooooo excited! He's really put some time in playing dolls, etc and can't wait to get some manly toys in the house. He actually went and bought Alahna a small monster truck after the ultrasound!!

Now on to which name to pick, bedding, how to incorporate boy stuff into our house... half way there! Before we know it he'll be here! =)
