Trying for a boy!!

I absolutely, 100% cannot believe it is a boy! I cannot wait until my next ultrasound on Monday because I am definitely going to ask the tech to doublecheck. LOL I mean, come on - my family does not have boys! I have 3 sisters, 2 daughters, and a niece - no boys anywhere in the family. My dad tried FOUR times for a boy, and for all 3 grandchildren I know he was hoping and praying. You should have heard how excited he was when I called him after the ultrasound. He works with my husband (he is a couple rungs up the ladder, though) and I knew that Jeremy would already know when he got home from work. He did - my dad hunted him down at work and told him the news. My dad also said he wants to be the first to buy him a football. LOL

What on earth am I going to do with a boy?!?! It all seems so foreign to me, although I am sure that once he arrives it will not be that much different than the girls. I already have bought quite a few outfits, and every time I go out somewhere I pick something up. I just can't help it! :) I also started going through all the girls' old clothes to sell. I have tubs and tubs of them so it is going to take me quite a while! I have about 4 tubs sorted out, and that is only newborn through 9 months!

My older daughter, Kaitlyn, really is not happy at this point. She does not want it to be a boy - she said she really wanted another baby sister. She asked if we can go to a hospital that only gives girls - LOL. When my sister asked her if she would tell her Daddy when he got home, her reply was "No, he can find out when it comes out." Yes, she is that disgruntled right now. She is slowly getting over it, and I know that when he arrives she won't give a hoot whether he is her brother or sister. She is such a great big sister to Aurianna that I cannot imagine it any other way with her brother. Aurianna has no idea what is going on, but I have a feeling this baby may need body armor to protect against her. LOL
