Instincts







I was right, I was right, I was right! Baby boy coming soon(ish)! He seems to have very cute lips and nose and he is weighing in the 50th percentile. Matt is thrilled to be having a boy and I'm just thrilled to be right. Maybe that means I'll have some maternal instincts??

Now that I know what we're having, I can unabashedly look at baby boy clothes and I've already started (as you can see above). In celebration of finding out the gender, Matt and I agreed that I could buy one baby boy clothing item today. Along with buying a zillion things and repacking for the BIG DC/Greece/North Carolina trip. :)

Yay for boys, and enjoy your last big trip without a kid. You don't have to pack any toys, diapers, pack'n'play, multiple outfits in case of blowout, bottles, burp cloths, etc... and a plane ride without wrangling a kid. Ahh, heaven!

Boys rule. I am also predicting a boy for our current fetus. Caitlin says her womb is not speaking to her yet, but my very strong connection with the child through ESP has indicated to me boyness. Congrats dudes.

Yes! We love those little boys. You can always come shopping at my house as Eli's clothes are quickly shrinking on his expanding body.

CONGRATULATIONS. I think boys are the most fun. Feel free to let go of any attachments you might have to any wordly possessions. They're bound to be covered in shaving cream circa 2011.
