Jackson has decided, well he decided Christmas day, that the baby is a boy. His logic-that we have way too many nerf guns to have a sister in the house. And he does not like Barbie dolls. Anyway, so we are now calling the baby Pirate-not because it’s a name we would ever use (due to the face that we are not celebrities) but because it’s what he really wants us to name the baby should it be a boy.
Anyway, I went to the doctor on Monday (for the second time) and Pirate is doing very well. My first sonogram was two weeks ago and we of course did NOT find out the gender due to Jay’s excitement about the big surprise. After hearing that all of the organs and important things looked perfect I did however ask the sonographer if she could determine the gender. I wasn’t sure if the baby was positioned well etc. And she replied, “oh yeah, there’s no mistaking this one!” That combined with a feeling (I know, crazy pregnant lady and feelings) that I got in church a few months ago really makes me think that the baby is a boy. And really if Pirate is a girl I am thrilled because I get to do all of the super fun girl stuff and if Pirate’s a boy I’m thrilled because I have all of the boy stuff and I really know boys. I am quite accustomed to being a “boy mom” and I feel like I have a good handle on boy stuff. And who wouldn’t want the my 3 son’s theme song to play in people’s heads when they see her walk in with three boys?!
But most importantly is that Pirate looks perfect! I’m wondering if he/she will have Jack’s precious dimples or Bear’s adorable curls or some entirely new set of sweet features. I am so excited to have a space to call the baby’s. I think when I can start getting ready and getting all of the stuff out of the garage/hoarders style storage it will become so much more real and even more fun. Pirate, we love you already and are trying to find a house with plenty of space for you and your big brothers to run and play!
