Bundle of Boy

Jump about 20 weeks from the last post...

I'm now 23 weeks pregnant. We had an ultrasound a couple days ago-- we're having a boy!!

I'm female (obviously) so at one point I was a little girl. I've never been around a baby, let alone a baby BOY. The only child that I can relate to is myself.

A friend came over today with my favorite 7 year old. Who happens to be a boy. I asked what he wanted for Christmas. He went on about WebKins. Uh, WhatKid? I've never heard of them. But then again, I AM 26.

I do know the basics of football. I can sit through baseball games. Soccer... well, his Dad played soccer.

I'm excited to be having a boy, a son. I'm excited for whatever this child has in store for me, but what I'm looking forward to even more- for all he's going to teach me.

Baby Bahamas

I'm excited. I found out I was pregnant 2 days ago. I'm about 5 weeks, and due in March 2008.

It's like someone said "You're going on vacation! But not until March."

So the only thing you can do is read about your destination, buy sunscreen and cute tank tops, maybe pack a few items. Relentlessly search online about local cuisine, hot spots to visit, places to avoid, and resident culture. And there's that pesky section about boiling water and avoiding ice.

It's all a blur right now. I've looked online at nursery ideas, diets, clothes, weekly development stages, names, diaper bags, calendars, etc.

It's all new and doesn't seem real because I don't feel or look any different. I'm sure that'll change soon enough.
