I am, how shall I say this politely, a little shocked. It's been two days and I'm still absorbing the news that I'm going to have a son. Gulp. I think I always envisioned having a little girl - you know, someone I can dress up, have tea parties with, go shopping with and whatnot. And now I have to imagine baseball games (please God no), Tonka trucks, and lots and lots of dirt. Yeah, I know there are some boys who might like tea parties and some girls who like to play with trucks, but I feel like stereotyping at the moment. Let me be.
There are some positives to having a boy: Less drama. - let's face it, us girls like us some drama. Boys are (hopefully) cheaper - there are only so many ways you can dress a boy. Shirt, pants, shorts. Done. There's no option for dresses, skirts, tank tops, hair accessories, and 47389472 different kinds of shoes. And my personal favorite (someone told me this so I can't take credit), with a boy, you only have to worry about one penis. With a girl, you have to worry about allllllllll of the penises. :/
We're back to the drawing board with names, we were 99.99% set on a girl's name but have always gone back and forth with a boy name. We've come up with a few so we'll see if any pan out. And no, I won't be sharing until he arrives as I don't want any opinions either way.
On another note, I love my OB/GYN - he definitely knows what he's doing as evidenced by the sonogram photo. And baby is not shy:
Yep, it's definitely a boy. Gulp.
