Wow, oh wow! (it's a ....)

That's all I could say when they told me the sex of the baby. It wasn't what I was expecting. I also cried because I was happy. What lucky parents we are!

So, I don't know if you know the difference between a mounds and an almond joy. There was a commercial that played on the fact that one has nuts and the other doesn't (mounds doesn't). They didn't do this when we had Olivia's ultrasound, but today, they broke the news with a candy bar.

The lady picked one up, and held her hand over it, and dropped it into James's hand so he could read the wrapper and reveal the sex. Lots of fun! At first, he was confused by the color of the wrapper, but the technician told him to read what was in it and ignore the color of the packaging, so James proudly announced that he was holding...

an Almond Joy! The baby has nuts! Boy, does he! He wasn't shy at all. He proudly opened his legs for us. My little baby boy...

Initially, I thought I'd have a boy (you may remember me saying that), but over the past week, I had an overwhelming feeling it was a girl.

It feels so strange to think we're having a boy. What do I know about boys? I'm so excited though to have one of each. It's ideal. We are so happy and excited to meet our little guy.

Here he is:

Our OBGYN won't do their ultrasound for a few weeks, but we paid to have a 16 week gender determination at a 4-D place the way we did with Olivia. What can I say? I'm impatient. Besides, they give you you a DVD of the baby and tons of pictures. It's soooo worth it!

Anyway, I went and bought the little guy an outfit today. I have a lot more shopping to do, but we've got time. Time to pack away the pink stuff! :-)

Oh, and I didn't wait to post until tonight just to drive you nuts. I have a horrible cold, and I prepared Christmas dinner tonight for my whole family, which was planned days ago and food was bought before the cold. I just didn't have the chance until now.
