Watching him squirm around on that screen was precious-- so healthy and bouncy! he was moving the whole time, and the sonographer had trouble capturing all she wanted to. but he did pause long enough for us to get a good look at his kidneys, heart, spine, feet, hands, and little boyness! he's healthy and all in one piece! and it made me so thankful -- before we found out the sex, i was reminded of what to be most thankful for! once the sonographer left the room and we were waiting for the doctor to appear, i looked at dave and said, "i guess we're going to have to have a 3rd!"
I can't say I was disappointed by the news-- I was totally prepared for it-- but still, there was a moment of "ooh, maybe all of my dreams are about to come true..." and then... "oh well, i guess not." I don't think anyone should feel guilty about wishing for something that they really want, or being a little let down, just because there's a sense that you should feel a certain way about your children. i know i will love this little boy as much as i love my current little boy. it's just so hard to believe it is all really happening! that this is our destiny, and today was the day we found it out. The Brown Brothers! i can see them running around the yard and laughing... and fighting over who gets to mow the lawn with daddy. i'm sure it will be far more fun than i can imagine, and even more crazy than i already anticipate!
Gramsy got us a little blue fuzzy bear suit (nb size), which really helped it to feel a little more real. A winter baby! lot's of cozy warm sleepers-- that will be fun! And the fact that our little guys will eventually be best buds-- helps me to get excited.
We're half way there-- i'm sure January will be blowin in before we know it... and now comes the hard part-- thinking about names! Poor Christian barely got his name after 24 hrs. . . and that was after 5 months of discussion.
I guess for now we'll take votes on In-Utero nicknames...
Here's to Blue!
