We're Gonna Have A Boy!
I'd like to introduce the little baby on the left. We don't have a name yet, but I can now introduce that ickle one as my son.
I have to admit, Sherri and I are still to a certain degree in a state of shock. Not as much of a shock obviously as when we found out we were having a baby, but right up there and biting at it's ankles.
Having had 4 girls, statistics either showed that we were more than likely to have another girl... or that after 4 girls, maybe it was time to throw a boy in the mix. We pretty much thought the first scenario was going to unfold before us, but some one upstairs had other ideas.
Unlike his Dad, my son so far has no qualms about willy waving, which is how we found out to start with. When the person doing the ultrasound says it's close when comparing his willy to the umbilical chord, you know he's gonna follow in his fathers footsteps. Oh my word, did I say that? Any who...
So the idea of keeping all Sarah and Lucy's clothes for this baby, has pretty much fallen by the wayside. No son of mine is going to be wearing pink, anytime soon. Oh my word it's gonna cost a fortune, especially if he's gonna be a hockey player. There go my lie ins. 5am hockey practice is the norm here, so I better get some sleep while I can. Ah well, at least I'll be able to start the day off with a nice Timmy's.
OK so what names are we mulling about. To be honest, we hadn't really seriously considered boys names, but my mother in-law reminded me of something, that I'm sure Sherri would rather I forgot. I always said if I had a son, his first name would be "Sir". Not that we'd use it, but just imagine when he's old, he can legitimately call him self "Sir Jake" or what ever other names we decide to give him. Not sure if I can swing this one past Sherri, but I'm gonna give it a go.
So we're all on cloud nine. I felt the baby moving for the first time last night. Think I'm going to have to get used being kicked.
Anyway, time for me to hit the publish button and get some sleep..... while I still can LOL
