A letter to my baby BOY

Dear Sweet Baby Boy,

Wow, I can't believe I'm going to have a baby boy. I'm not sure I know how to take care of a baby boy - but everyone tells me that it will be okay :)

So, sweet baby boy, this post is for you and all about the day we found out YOU were in our lives.

On May 13 I had a field trip all day with my kiddos....we went on a tour of Kauffman Stadium. It was a GORGEOUS day...perfect weather! Almost a bit hot by the time I got back to Ottawa!

When we got back to Ottawa your daddy and sister were in the parking lot at Garfield waiting for us.

We took off for the doctor's office.

 

We arrived on time....and waited.... When we finally went back to have the sonogram we were excited. I was nervous. Your daddy REALLY wanted a baby boy.... Eliana wasn't too sure about mommy being on the table..she wanted to be right there with me. So, daddy moved a chair over so she could sit beside me and hold me hand. We watched you kick and move inside me. At one point Eliana was crying because she wanted to sit with mommy and you kicked SO SO hard! The sonogram tech and I both laughed because you kicked so hard! Like you were telling your sister to be quiet it was your time to be the center of attention :)

So, then the sono tech rolled over your gender....and quickly rolled away....then double checked with us that we wanted to know if you were a boy or girl....I said yes, but I already knew. It was VERY obvious when she rolled over that you were a boy! :) Daddy was SO happy! You were not shy, and you showed up many times that you were indeed a boy! :) The Sono Tech said you were around 13 ounces - which was spot on for what you should be. And you were perfect - I was so relieved....I was so nervous and so happy to hear that everything was perfect.

 

After the doctor's appointment we went home and we had your sister call all of your family to tell them if you were a boy or girl. We would ask if mommy was having a baby boy or a baby girl....most the time she would respond with "baby girl" - lol - we had to quickly correct her :)

Your sister is very excited to have a baby brother and ready for you to come home with us! She has been practicing taking care of her baby dolls so she's ready for you! :)

 

Baby boy, I can't wait for you to be here --- I know you're going to add so much to our family! :) Now, if only your daddy and I could agree on a name. He has a name he likes...but I'm not sure I like it....and every name I suggest he vetoes it. So, you may or may not have a name :)

Sweet little boy, keep growing healthily, but let's not grow too big -- just a healthy size - I don't want you coming out a toddler size ;)

 

I love you sweet baby boy,

Mommy

this was our announcement photo - you can't tell - but Eliana's thought bubble says: "I wish I had a baby brother" :) Can't wait to meet you in September!
