This is Cecil (not the real name, just a fetus nickname, I swear!).
This is Cecil sucking his thumb...
And this is Cecil mooning the ultrasound lady and proudly showing off his man parts. This is definitely a boy ladies and gentlemen.
We found out on Thursday and ever since people have been asking, "What's his name?" His name is a point of contention between me and Matt and so before you ask, the answer is at present he has no name besides Cecil the Seamonster. We are very excited to meet our baby boy, but I will admit that a moment of silence is needed out of respect to the cute dresses and bows that won't be happening and that I was sort of hoping for. Instead it will be overalls and trucks which are good too. I'm just looking for a little input from you moms of little boys out there:
Why is having a boy great? Convince me.
P.S. Thank you for all the comments on being a stay at home mom! They have really helped me...

Facebook. And my sister is how know all the dirt. I think she is having a girl. which you might be alittle jealous about judging from this post. I have heard from trillions of mommies who shock of shockers love and enjoy their little boys just as much as a little one in a bow. apparantly they are just as loveable and precious. I am sure once you get your little guy you will not have wished for anything or anyone else. I can promise you that. And...2 months later when you are healed you can try again! okay that is so just a joke! Oh and about your mommy post-been there. Done that. It is true that the lest busy you are the less you seem to get done. it is weird isn't it. I found myself getting really lonely. So I try to get together with people. And I make a ton of lists of my goals and aspirations and such. I rarely get them done but for some reason it makes me feel better to have them written down. And being a mother...is great. You just can't even imagine until you get your baby how much joy they will bring to your life. It might be hard ar first (and it might not be, I know those gals too) but you get into the swing of things and a new way of life...and you'll figure it all out. And there are always many others who have been or are currently going through the same thing. And it is very therapuetic to find them and get uplifted. Anyway. Blah blah blah. Sorry! Anyway...trust me, the ride has just begun and your baby is going to be so awesome. That's all. Sorry for all the self righteous advice. Bye!
Wow. I have never seen such an obvious "boy parts" shot. There's no mistaking that. As for having boys over girls... two words- teenaged girls. No thank you. I'll take my boys any day. They seem way more low maintenance. Now, if my third one is a boy- I might be a little ticked. We can't wait to meet little "Cecil."
There are lots of great things about boys. The best to me is you can easily pawn them off on their dad, because boys are supposed to spend special time with their sons, moreso than dads with girls. Camping, sports, burping, cars, that is all stuff that is perfect for dads to do with their sons where you get a break!
Boys are a bit lower maintenance, easier to take care of their hair, they don't have to have as many clothes. For example, Bailey has a suit that he can wear to church every single Sunday, which is great. But I can't imagine sending Mackenzie to church in the same dress every Sunday. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it seems funny to do that to a little girl.
I am really happy for you! And, that is quite the well endowed boy! I bet Matt is so proud!
Congrats! I'm so excited for you two! I always wished I had an older brother, so I think having a boy first is an excellent way to go. I totally get the slight dissapointment with not having a girl though. It seems there is much cuter stuff for girls than boys! Congrats!
Wow, what a GREAT ultrasound pic! No mistaking the boy parts at all! I'm sure he'll love seeing that picture when he's older. :)
I also had wished for a girl first, because who can resist all those cute frilly bows and ruffles?? Seriously. But, and I know I don't have any other kids to compare him to, but having little Owen has been SO much fun! Now I can't even imagine what it would be like to have a girl. I'm sure you'll be so happy to have a boy! Plus, having a boy first takes the pressure off of having a boy and passing on the family name, etc. etc.
Now, if only we could somehow get our little boys together for play dates....
Oh Em! I swear I felt the same thing after our ultrasound for Calder. I think every woman dreams of bows, frills on tights and dresses. But now, I just love how much fun he is and can't imagine having a girl. This may sound crazy, but I would love to have another boy for Calder to run around and cause trouble with.
Oh, one more thing. There are cute boy clothes out there, you just have to look harder for them. It's a fun little shopping challenge. :)
Boys are so much fun! I'm so glad I've got my two little guys. I think in some ways you can now breath easy because on top of all the new things you'll be dealing with, (diapers, feedings,spit-up) you don't have to worry about having your little bundle totally "dolled up". Don't get me wrong, boys are totally cute. It's just that boys take fewer accessories to finish an outfit. With boys you can put on a onesie that has a truck on it and slap a little gel in his hair(if he has any) and voila, you're done.
As far as raising boys goes, you've been raising Matt for how many years now? Just kidding... well, kind of. You do a lot of the same things with a child that you do with a husband. You feed them, you dress them, you eventually teach them how to do the dishes, and where the dirty laundry goes. In a lot of ways it's very similar.
You're going to be fine! He'll get here and have some little feature or thing that he does that reminds you of Matt and you will be smitten.
I'm so excited for you guys. It's so much fun!!
You know what I always say...
With a boy, you only have one penis to worry about. Wiht a girl, you have ALL the penises to worry about. YAY BOYS!!
And also, I'm going to call him Cecil, no matter what you name him. What's going on Feb 8th? I'm waiting with CRAZY anticipation!!
It's so funny when I hear people upset to have a boy. I have an older brother who I absolutely adore and so I always wanted a boy first. Even when I knew that I'd be having a boy and a girl first, I prayed and prayed that Ethan would be first. Not that it matters, but I just feel that it will. Also, let me just say a few words for you. Polos. Sweater vests (argyle optional). Plaid shorts. Zip-up hoodies. Is there anything cuter? And honestly, with all the bows and bracelets and leggings under a mini I put on Kate, I still have more fun dressing Ethan. Little men are so much cuter than little women (in a laugh-out-loud kind of way. They're equally cute). And lastly, boys love their mommas. And that is a sweet thing.
Well heck, now that you are having a boy, you won't be bored at all! You can start to get his room and clothes together and make him lots of fun stuff! I agree with the Melissa at the top of these comments, make lots of lists. Lists make me feel so much better, even if I only cross one thing off or none at all. And don't worry about it if you want to sleep. You will never sleep the same again.. so STORE UP!! You are going to have so much fun when your little guy gets here, but then it will be about him for a while. So take this advice: do lots of things for yourself! Go on a road trip, take a class, sleep in, get a pedicure when you can't touch your toes, anything you want.
Man am I jealous. I wish that I was having a boy. Don't get me wrong I am just thankful that I am having a baby. So if that means that I have to have two girl I am okay with it. Congratulations!
I thought I wouldn't know what to do when my little boy came (having never known any, since I had all little sisters and a baby girl first), but when he did it wasn't so much that he was a boy as that he was MY SON that made me feel that we two were the most natural combination in the world!
are you still coming? let me know time and place, I think there is only one cafe rio here but I will have to check for sure-why are you guys coming here again?
hey how did you guys like AZ? I am glad I was privileged enough to get to see you.
