This poor baby in my belly.
Don't worry, he gets a lot of attention in our daily lives, but he gets no attention on this blog.
I will try to change.
In fact, I don't think I ever put up the story of finding out that he is a he and not a she!
Here it is for posterity sake:
(warning: this is long and is mostly for me because I want to remember these things)
At 16 weeks my doctor did an ultrasound for me in hopes of finding out the sex a little bit early. Scott couldn't make it to the appointment and we really wanted to find out together, so we had the doc right down what it was on a slip of paper and seal it in an envelope. We made a night out of it and went out to dinner at Cheesecake Factory and opened up the envelope. It said GIRL! We were so excited but, but not surprised because all along I had known it was a girl. Bahahaha. All over Christmas break we were brainstorming girl names with our families and feeling very relaxed because we'd done the girl thing before and were sooo ready for another one.
Fast forward 4 weeks, to my 20 week ultrasound. (quick side story, the day before my 20 week ultrasound we bought our double stroller and we were so excited because that was the last thing we needed to do to get ready for the baby. We were so proud of how prepared we were. Another bahahaha). Scott was randomly able to come to my 20 week ultrasound, which we were very excited about. We dropped Addie off at the the babysitter and headed to the appointment. Within seconds of the ultrasound starting Scott and I both saw something that our little girl should not have. It was sooo obvious! We both looked at the doctor and said, "Ummmm, I don't think that's supposed to be there..." The doctor responded with, "I'm going to take back what I said about this being a girl. You are most definitely going to be having a SON!" Shocker. Thank goodness Scott was able to be there. We couldn't believe our ears. But he is most definitely a he.
I'll be honest, I was completely panicked about having a boy for a couple of weeks. It was really hard 'knowing' I was having a girl and picturing that and picking her name, to suddenly not getting that girl we'd been dreaming of. Now, we are completely ecstatic about the little boy to come! Especially since his room is ready for him!
We had to do a LOT of degirling in this room.
We took out the pink ladybug theme and went for animals.

Grandma also bought him some ADORABLE zoo animal bedding! For the life of me, I cannot find a picture of it anywhere. Just know, it's adorable. Thanks Grandma!

| And for good measure, here is our little growing guy. 29 weeks |
We're happy to say that he will not actually be naked! Thanks to an amazing friend and some awesome sales, we have some clothes for him. As far as the nameless thing goes, that's still a definite possibility. I have this problem with getting really excited about a name. I get convinced that it's the name, so I spend a lot of time and energy persuading Scott that he agrees with me. He's so sweet that eventually he always does agree. The problem is, by the time he agrees, I've put in WAY too much thought to the name and am no longer convinced that it's right. And so repeats the cycle. I always said that I wanted to name my first son Clark, after my maiden name. Once Scott was on board with that, I wasn't sure how I felt about it and thought that if I used it in the room decorations I'd feel better about it. Wrong. It only confirmed that Clark was not quite right for this kid. Oh well. We still have 10 weeks to figure something out...
