The verdict is in...

I had my ultrasound today!!! Ben had to be at a residency interview during the appointment, but he gave me the go-ahead to find out without him. I tried to make it fun for him with a little treasure hunt when he got home (thank goodness he got done early today - I couldn't have waited any longer to tell him!!)













I almost fooled Ben with the pink envelope. :) We're soooo excited to be having a boy - I was honestly surprised! I don't know why, but I went into that ultrasound thinking "well, this has got to be another girl". I was wrong and I'm so happy to be having a boy - I'm also a little freaked out - never had a boy before... I don't know what to do with a boy!!

  2. This is too funny! Somehow, even though I've been reading your blog for two days, that it was going to be a boy. That's how righteous I am!

    Congrats!

  6. I'm thrilled to be getting a grandson and I'm especially happy for Ben. I do understand a man's need to have a son. Now he can go to lot's of fun guy stuff with his little side kick.
    I called your grandma and grandpa Smith. They are very happy with the good news. You brought some light into their day, just like mine.
    Don't worry about not knowing what to do with a boy. When they get a little older the dads kind of step in and that's as it should be, but a mother and son relationship is still special and sweet.
    Congratulations to all of you. This is all so joyful!

  7. Awesome! That's a cute idea, too. Now instead of bows and ribbons, you get to do cute polos and tiny, rugged shoes.

  19. Congratulations! It's always so exciting to find out the gender. Boys are great. It's definitely going to be boy season come January through the spring. I only know of 1 girl so far. It's fun to shop for cute boy clothes too!

  22. Yeah! Yipee Skippee! I don't know what I would do with a boy. . . however if I ever can manage to get pregnant again, I think it would be good to have a boy. . . but I would be happy with any baby. and by the way. . i just laughed and laughed at your balls statement. . maybe I am inappropriate!
