It's a BOY!

Yay!! Can you believe your eyes?? We sure couldn't. Who came up with the old wife's tail of saying, "if your sick, you're having a girl"?

I cannot describe to you how surprised and elated we are that we're having a boy! Everyone kept telling us girl, so we just assumed it probably was. Certainly, we would have been equally as thrilled with a girl...don't even get me started on how people get upset with the gender baby they're having!

In the midst of our infertility, I would see pictures of Curtis as a baby and get so sad, wishing I had one of those little guys. Sitting there today in the ultrasound room, I cried throughout the 30 minute screening looking at my perfect, sweet, active boy. Why? It's just really sinking in that we're really having a baby. Plus, there were three prayer requests I prayed often before and after we got pregnant: 1. for a little Curtis 2. for an active baby in the womb 3. that my placenta would be in the back, so I could feel his little active self. Each one was answered! I've been working on a post on how the Lord has been working on my trust issues...hopefully that will come soon. God has been so faithful with even the smallest details and I have been so slow to trust. I hate that. But more on that later...

I'm totally in love with this sweet little man! He was SO active today -- rolling around, kicking, punching, doing flips. It was so awesome! Oh, and it looks like he might be a thumb sucker. He had his hands in and out of his mouth almost the whole time. Love that!

The perinatologist thinks he might be a big boy, so I'll go back at 28 weeks to size this little guy up and come up with a birth plan. This was a relief. After all, I'm only 5' 4", Curtis is 6' 2", I was 9 lbs. 6 oz. and he was nearly 9 lbs. It's that making for a large baby and uncomfortable momma!

Anyway, thanks for praying for us! It's been a great anniversary today!
