Eighteen weeks, 2 days

by Marilyn on November 4, 2003

Well, it’s another boy!? I was looking as hard as the ultrasound guy and though it wasn’t terribly clear, it looked like a boy.

I’m a touch disappointed.? I think K is too.? Maybe more than I am.? He won’t really talk about it.

There are advantages to a boy.? All those clothes we can borrow from Rob and Hua, the boys can share a room, we’re used to boys… so on and so on.

But… no shopping for dresses, no purple shoes, no pigtails… it’s not something I’ve ever had and maybe that’s why I miss it so much.? And it’s not like we weren’t planning on more than two kids anyhow, the next could very well be a girl.? Or it could be another boy.? There’s no guarantee either way.

These are things I know.? And I know we’ll love this baby till our hearts hurt.? There will come a time when we won’t be able to imagine him any other way.

And let’s face it.? I’m damned lucky to be pregnant in the first place!? It doesn’t matter *what* this baby is, as long as we have him, healthy and here.

So that’s my dya.? Haven’t done much else today.? Got us McDonald’s for lunch cuz K didn’t have time for lunch.? I laid down for a short nap and ended up sleeping a lot longer than I had planned.

I should work on an update but I’m still wallowing a little.? I knew I would.? It’s all good.? This was meant to be, regardless of how I feel.
