A BOY!!!
Five months has flown by and last Thursday I found myself walking into the hospital to get the infamous 20 week ultrasound. Now, Brittany has explained to me many times that they look for all sorts of things when they do this ultrasound but let's be honest- all I really want to know is one thing, boy or girl??? I have had several coworkers encourage me not to find out, they try to convince me that it will be funner that way. YEAH RIGHT!!! I am not one of those people that have the patience or tolerance to wait. I lose a sense of control if I don't know and I just can't handle that. The many weeks that preceeded this visit had many thoughts running through my head. I want a boy simply because I already have a girl and I would love to have a boy for Jake to wrestle with and do whatever it is that boys do. BUT- I love having a girl!!! She is so much fun to dress up and it is a comfort level for me. I have a girl so I know what to expect. I have been there so I wouldn't have any surprises. I wish I had that mothers instinct that everyone talks about and could sense that gender of the baby but I don't. I had no clue. I had decided that I would be happy either way (obviously) but I would like to have a boy just to have the pressure off. As I watched the girl do my ultrasound I started to get nervous. My mind started spinning and I started having second thoughts about the whole thing. And then she said it- A BOY! OH CRAP! I don't know what to do with a boy. I looked over and saw Jake beaming like a kid at Christmas but my heart started thumping and I found myself hoping that she saw it wrong. I am afraid of boys. I don't have anything for a boy- everything I own for a baby is pink! Now that it is 4 days later, my breathing has adjusted and I am ok again. I am going to chalk up my roller coaster emotions to the pregnancy but right now I am feeling good about having a boy. I didn't have a clue what to do with Tylie but I have been ok. It will be the same with this one. Now I just have one more problem- a name. This is one thing that Jake and I cannot seem to agree on. I have 4 months- let's see what we can come up with.

YAY, Ang! Congrats! Boys are so much fun - you guys are in for a treat. Girls are super fun, too (as I'm having a ball styling Olivia's just-long-enough-for-an-elastic hair) and now you'll have one of each!! The ultrasound was such a highlight of my pregnancies. Enjoy every bit of the journey! :o)
Congratulations Ang. Now your mom can start buying cute boy stuff. I'm sure Jake is excited and is already planning fun boy things to do. Hope everything continues to go well. It was good to be with you on Monday.
Love ya,
Grandma
We are so excited for you! Boys definitely keep you on your toes!!! Love ya!
I found you guys! I just read through all of your posts - you do such a great job of expressing yourself. Congratulations on the boy - it will be so fun to see the differences in the 2. Come visit us at jmkuhns.blogspot.com. Tell Jake hi for me. I didn't realize that you guys were back in Utah, but that's great that you're a little closer (I loved your California post by the way - you make me want to visit there!). We are in Colorado now, but we haven't visited Utah in a long time. I'm just so glad to have found you two - I can't tell you how many times I've thought of you guys.
