What a whirlwind of emotions!!!! WHat a whirlwind up a birthday weekend------
Much to MANY peoples dismay-we ARE having another boy!!!!!!
So many things led up to us deciding to find out what we are having. Being a suprise was really important to me, but like I said, there were some factors in why we decided to find out AND share.
I know people are not "dissapointed" but I can't count 1 hand how many times I've heard in the last 36 hours "Another boy?" or "Gosh, I guess you are capable of having girls".
Let me just say one thing, I know that comments are meant well (most of them anyway) but we are BEYOND THRILLED to be having another little man in our family. I am sure girls are fun to raise, and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't have a small hope she was going to say GIRL so that I could buy the lambs and ivy raspberry swirl bedding. However, I heard NOTHING in that entire ultrasound after she said "it looks great, the baby looks healthy, X looks good and X looks great". Those are the ONLY words that I cared to hear all day yesterday!
Out of the entire ultrasound-I wanted to hear-THE BABY Is great-Not the baby is a boy or the baby is a girl. I was a little leary to even tell people, because I was trying to avoid the comments. After all we've been through, I can't believe people still think we CARE the sex of the baby. I know it's hard for other people to see through our eyes during this pregnancy. I am being as objective to those comments as possible, but I do have to say it is hard to hear when I just want to SCREAM out " DID YOU MISS THE PART WHERE I SAID THIS BABY IS HEALTHY????"
Even as I swallow really hard right now because I feel guilty for not saying this many times over the course of the last 8 months, God IS great. I have had a lot of mixed feelings about religion, church and God-and I still do-but I do realize in spite of it all, God is good, ALL of the time. NOt just some of the time. I am still not ready to jump back into any type of religious conversations or religious life of any kind because inspite of all that happened in June we were very much cut deeply by our "supossed to be religious "family" members". This is not really anything I feel like getting into in this blog. Just know that I am truly feeling very blessed with all of the new things going on in our life. I realize there is a higher being behind it as well. It is by the glory of God that things good and bad happen in our lives.
I had the best 2 days this weekend starting Friday morning. We got to see our new little man and his beautiful face. I got to spend some one on one time with my mom while finishing birthday shopping before my sister got here. Then spent great quality time with my sister and her daughter and our family @ dinner. This morning, ISaac had a basketball game, then we went to Greenridge swimming and had a great time. It felt really good to get in the water and excersize/relax a little bit. I stayed in the water w/ the kids for about an hour and a half and it was nice. My dad came and also got in the water with all 3 of his grandkids. It was really fun. Then Cris suprised me with my birthday gift-the NOOK I've been asking for but didn't want to spend the money on and then with dinner to Kabuki. He's a great husband. I spent the entire day with my family-the very best way to spend a birthday!
I can tell you though, this preggo is TIRED-I will be worthless the rest of the weekend.
Now, if we can just NOT get the snow they are calling for, it will be all great!!!!!!
