So I realized I never revealed the sex of our child on here. We went to get our BIG (get it?) ultrasound on August 25. I had called my mom on the way to the appointment and asked "What will I do if it's a boy?"
Mom- You'll love him and grow with him!
So we're in the room and the ultrasound tech asks if we wanted to know the sex. She begins to take the pictures and it takes her two minutes and she says, "Oh I know what you're having!!" Marc and I look at each other nervously. "It's a boy!"
BLANK STARE.It's a boy? What do you mean it's a boy? I'm having a girl! Of course from the beginning I told people our child was an equal
opportunity child and that God would bless us with what HE wanted us to have. But I was supposed to be having a girl! Marc had a dream it was a girl, I felt like it was a girl, but it was a b-o-y.
After congratulating Marc, I threw my hands and head back in disbelief
"WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH A BOY?!"All I could imagine was Marc and the b-o-y playing, yelling, ripping, running, tearing up couches, broken limbs, poison ivy rashes and me ordering special made ear plugs for myself!
On the way out, Marc told me that boys have a special relationship with their mothers. My brother told me it's good for boys to grow up and be mamas boys (really?) I look forward to developing a relationship with my son as I still try to grasp the fact that my fabulous self is having a child.
The good thing is that I know he will grow up to be a WONDERFUL man just like his father and make a lovely girl just as happy as I am. :)
