On Saturday morning we got the best news ever – according to the ultrasound tech, our son is “amazing, amazing, amazing.” 🙂 Everything looked great, heartbeat of 155 BPM, weighing roughly 10oz, measuring 8d ahead. Also, my cervix was long (4.6cm?) and closed, the placenta is plenty high and away from the cervix, and the umbilical cord looks great. Basically, we are over the moon happy. 🙂
That being said, holy shit, I am so scared to be the parent of a BOY, but we are so excited too! I guess we’ll just learn (and get peed on) as we go. LOL

Congratulations! Boys are so fun! Being from a family of all girls, I wasn’t sure what to do with a boy either. Just have lots of balls and trucks, and you’ll be all set!

Ha, my sisters and I all worked construction with my Dad growing up! That being said, my brother is the only one continuing it as an adult. 🙂 Charlie and I have been joking that this kid will have to be named “Concrete” (because of Charlie’s company name – Stella Concrete).

It’s the year of boys, it seems! If it makes you feel any better, I have no idea what to do with a boy either. Boys are foreign to me. I’m sure they’ll be awesome though!

WOOOOO!!! Congratulations!! And don’t worry, boys are great! Yes, you might get peed on now and again but when they are older you won’t have to worry about him sitting on nasty public restroom toilets! That will make your life so much easier you don’t even know! 🙂
And you’re a great mom so you’ll be absolutely fine! Congrats again!

When we found out we were having a girl with Raegan I totally panicked. I was grateful she was healthy, but I seriously know NOTHING about girls. I’m also glad we found out because I wouldn’t want to have panicked in the delivery room when they said, A GIRL! when I was totally expecting a boy. This time I was totally expecting a girl and when I saw boy before they said it my first response again was HOLY SHIT! You’re going to rock this…and CONCRETE is a perfectly good name for a strapping young lad…call him Crete for short 🙂 I’m so excited for you and I still think it’s totally weird that aside from Courtney and SRB, we’re all having opposite sex babies for #2…totally random!
