I really do need to start writing a bit more on this blog. Hopefully I will be able to find more time to do that in the coming weeks.
Justin and I found out the sex of the baby on August 31st. We were thrilled to see that we are having a healthy, bouncing boy! Everything looked great with him and it was just so exciting to see how much he has grown in the 9 weeks since we had seen him last.
Going into the ultrasound, I wasn't sure what to expect. Part of me really thought it was a girl since my husband already had a girl but then there was a part of me that thought that it might be another boy for me. My sister and I can't seem to have anything BUT boys! Was there a moment of disappointment once I saw baby boy's "goods"? There was a split second until I looked over and saw my husband's face. The sheer joy etched into every feature on his face, that he was going to have his very own son, cleared out any disappointment in my mind that day. I have to admit, I still find myself looking at all the adorable little girl things that I'll never get to buy since this will be our only baby together. It causes a little pang in my heart from time to time but I'm very happy that our baby boy is healthy.
So now we settle into deciding on colors for the nursery and getting excited about all things boy! We went on a mini shopping-spree with our best of friends after we found out and got little guy some clothes. It was fun to finally be able to buy something for him. Oh and I guess I can quit calling him "him". Gage David will be his name. We both fell in love with the name Gage and David was Justin's dad's name, who passed away almost 16 years ago. So the middle name we hold very dear. So there you have it...we can't wait for Gage's arrival. Ethan asks almost on a daily basis if Gage is ready to come out. Not quite, sweetheart...not quite. Which is a good thing. But we all anxiously await his arrival in early January!
