it's a...

It was 8 months before we got pregnant with Ember that I told Jeffree one day, "We're having a girl first."  He asked why.  My response was, "I don't know why, I just know that's what we're having."  We picked out her name that same month.  Ember Belle.  We just knew.  Once I got pregnant, I was less certain.  What if I'd been wrong?  But the ultra sound confirmed what I had felt long ago.  It was a beautiful, perfect little baby girl.

I was pretty sure we'd have another girl.  I think I told Jeff that when little e was only a few months old.  Since then I've rarely thought anything different.  When we finally got pregnant, I second guessed my intuition, but I'd been right with little e, so why wouldn't I be right with this one?

Jeffree and I were talking one night and I asked him, if it was a boy, what would we name him?  And I LOVED the name he told me.  That was the first time I could actually imagine having a little boy.  But I still entertained the idea of having a little girl for our sweet e to play with and was hoping today's ultra sound would confirm that.

Boy was I wrong.

So I've thrown motherly intuition out the window.  We're having a little man.  Wowzers.  I won't even know what to do with a boy around the house.

We are pleased as punch, and Jeffree said I was glowing or beaming or something like that.  I'm pretty excited for him to get his little boy.  I know he loves his e girl, but he needs another man around the house.

disclaimer: i refuse to flaunt my child's man parts to the world.  the only one who cares is his daddy, since "it takes a man to make a man"

Here's to baby number two - I'm sure he'll shake things up quite a bit around here.  And we'll love it. 

Bring on the blue!
