Happy Days
I thought I knew all along that we were having a girl so imagine my surprise when a boy showed up on the monitor! His father was beaming and I started to wonder how likely it was that this machine was wrong. In the end it is has been quite exciting. We are expecting our little boy to arrive in late October. All is well, he is far ahead of schedule in developmental areas...all that fish I ate... and looks amazing. Being pregnant is wonderful. There is nothing that I've experienced yet that even compares to the joy and mystery behind it. I am feeling spectacular compared to the first few months.
Everyone has to tell me what accessories there are for little boys because I can't put little bracelets or bows on him! We have some names picked out but I feel so nervous about picking a name that they'll go by for along time! He kicks me when there's music on and he doesn't like to sleep at night. He craves pickles and loves his cold cereal. He also has expensive taste...seafood being number one!
Life is going well and we hope that everyone can share in our excitement, but you can leave the nervousness to us. Oh, a note about the picture. I've been trying to convince myself that maybe he'll just show up looking like that baby! That would be great!

So glad to hear you are doing better! It was great to see you the other day as well.
As for accessories, there aren't a lot...hats. But there will be things like balls, dinosaurs, bugs, tractors, etc. that make him all the more boy than you'll want to handle! Keep us posted on how its going! :)
I was so happy to see you at church. You look great!!
An idea I can suggest is a baby boy bracelet, my parents got a gold one for Gabriel with his name engraved on it and he wore it the day he was born.
It's not that common but it's something that he will appreciate having when he is older. It's not something he will get to wear much but it's worth the expense although sometimes they can be hard to find in jewelry stores.
Both John and I have one from when we were born and we had never met anyone else who had anything like that, so we thought it a cool coincidence when we met each other.
Other accessories for boys can be a cool collection of neckties.
So glad you're feeling better.
Love,
Stephanie
