battlemaiden Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 We broke the news to my 3 yodd first and let her tell everyone else- somehow the authority she derived from that role softened the blow and she seemed to accept the fact that she couldn't simply demand a sister and it would be so.... I would have been thrilled either way, but I am "boy mom" at heart ;). Jo Edit: He's a boy, not it, *He* is a boy. Edit #2: I need to clarify that I had an ultrasound today, not the actually baby. Sorry, if there was confusion. But I did actually receive proof that I am indeed carrying a little life inside me and it isn't just my imagination. Denial has ended.

battlemaiden Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Yay, Battlebaby! Way to salute! ;) :party: You crack me up. "battlebaby" :lol: The funny thing is we have a real snapshot of him saluting- hand to his forehead, elbow at an impressing, and Navy issue, right angle. I took the u/s photos right down to the submarine to show dh. It's frameable. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Well, I'm glad that he was not shy! Gotta be proud of being a boy! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie in Oh Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I haven't been waiting patiently. ;) Yeah-- another boy! That is grerat-- and you give me hope that our advanced maternal age it is possible to conceive a male baby. Maybe my ds won't move to the woods after all (he said he would if this baby was a girl :lol:)-- but after 5 girls in a row, the odds may not be in his favor. Well, maybe he will take his trumpet to the woods. He is just starting and man that thing is loud. :bigear: Ya know, it is funny that I have 3 friends who are expecting (you included) and me too, and we've all been in shock and awe about these pregnancies-- how could this have happened?? And 3 of us it is our 7th baby. You'd think we'd know by now. I am glad the denial is wearing off and the good reality that it is is settling in. Now you get to figure out how to fit 7 kids in a 1000 sq ft house. Fun fun. Congrats. I have 8 weeks to see if ds is pitching a tent in the woods. ;) Though we did see a blinking heart on Tuesday, so my reality is sinking in a bit too.
