We did a little gender photo shoot the week before we had the ultrasound. Jer started work on his floor the day of the ultrasound so he wasn't able to go with me. With him getting home late each night from that point on, I knew my pictures wouldn't happen if I put it off. So with a little photoshop to flip flop the colors of this cheap-crap cotton candy (I highly discourage using this 'a la carte stuff'; it's stiff, falls apart in chunks, and didn't even come with a stick!) we were set for either blue or pink!
Another BLUE for the win!
This little one was busy sucking on his fingers during most of the ultrasound and had the hiccups when the tech was trying to catch his heart rate. It's always such a relief to see and hear that the baby is growing healthy and on track and I love feeling him move more and more each day. We're all very excited for June to get here for another little baby to love. I hope that once he's here time will slow down!
I admit that I had a pretty rough day--pity party--when the realization sunk in that I won't have a little girl to raise. These extra hormones really just need to calm down. Then I would get upset with myself for focusing on that instead of the happiness of another sweet little boy that we've been blessed to add to our family, and I wouldn't want to replace any of my four boys anyways. I keep reminding myself that it's only the "worldliness" that comes with gender that I feel like I'll be missing out on: I wouldn't give any more or less love either way and I wouldn't receive any more or less love either way. And believe me, I'm one lucky momma who has some big-time sweet hearts.
So as long as my boys straighten their aim when it comes to the toilet, I have no complaints!
Now for the name game!
