Here's how I told my coworkers what we are having. They did a poll and voted as to what they thought the sex would be, half of them of said boy and the other half was girl. It was pretty even.

On Friday, we decided to buzz B's head. I was tired of his long hair. Look how long it had gotten. Probably 95% of the time when we go to a salon, we walk out with a bad haircut b/c he doesn't sit still very well. I figured why pay for a bad haircut. I told Jamie to just get out his clippers and buzz him. I told Jamie after he got done that he reminded me of an orphan kid that had his head buzzed due to lice. But it's growing on me. He had a lot of compliments at church b/c he really looks like a big kid now.

And we are suckers. We took B on Saturday night to Chuck E. Cheese's. He LOVED it!!! I always thought it was kinda hokey when parents took their kids there for birthday parties, but after going, I totally see why they do it. Kids love it!! And it's a safe place, plus it's entertainment all in one room. I don't see us doing B's bday party there this year, but it'll probably be in our future.
As much as we wanted to even things out by having a girl, we're pretty excited about this baby boy. It'll be fun to see Breeson interact with his baby brother. I pray that they will be good friends as they get older. I'm sure we're going to get a run for our money! Having two boys to chase after will keep us pretty active. We feel pretty blessed to given another boy.
Today is my hubby's birthday. I won't say how young he turned. Unfortunately, he had to work today - but Breeson and I met him at work when he got off and ran to the store afterward. He misplaced his wedding band a month or two back and we went to look at getting it replaced. But, we didn't find what we were looking for today. That was part of his bday gift. His other part was a gift certificate to play golf - one of his favorite things to do, but sadly does not get to do it often enough.
I quickly made him a birthday banner (don't judge, it was late when I made it and I had to be quiet and was limited on my supplies).
For his birthday meal, I made salad, shrimp fettuccine alfredo, toast, and green beans. Since we both gave up desserts for lent, I didn't want to make a big cake since we wouldn't want to have leftovers to tempt us. So, I went to the store and bought individual pieces of cake from the bakery. They were actually very yummy!! Tomorrow night we'll continue to celebrate his bday w/ friends at a Japanese steakhouse. Yum!
I have been blessed beyond measure with a wonderful husband, friend, and father to my kid(s). I look forward to many, many, more birthdays with this man...
Oh, and in case you were wondering...he did get to open the special envelope (see post below) for his birthday!! But you'll have to stay tuned for at least another day...or two. :)
I give you the envelope which holds the gender of our baby!! We met Dr. Gore (newest and final OB for this pregnancy). I liked him a lot. We even got an ultra sound. We told the tech not to tell us the sex, but to write it on a piece of paper and seal it in an envelope. And here it is...
Tomorrow is my babies daddy's (aka hubby!) birthday. So for part of his gift, he gets to open the envelope.
Today was a fun day. It started off right because Breeson has been sleeping a little longer (thanks to time change. Who woulda thought?). We got up and headed to Chick-fil-a for our free breakfast (promotion they're doing thru the end of March). He got to play for quite a while in the play place so that helped run off some energy. Then we ran to Walmart to get a few things before heading to the library to meet a new little friend for story time. There was quite a few kids there. Breeson seemed to enjoy it. He didn't exactly sit on the mats like the other kids during the story time though. He enjoyed song time probably the most...that and eating on the glue stick. I think we may have to make it a weekly thing.
After it's all done, most of the moms head out to the park next to the library. We stayed for awhile. It's a great way to get know other moms in the area. Plus, it's a really great way to lose a lot of B's energy!! Today was just gorgeous. It felt like Spring!! I think they said it reached 75.
This afternoon we played outside even more after Jamie got home from work. We've recently started taking walks in the evening now that the weather is nice again. It feels so good to be doing something active - which I haven't done much of this pregnancy. When I was prego w/ B, Jamie and I did a lot of walks and I swam A LOT! I do miss that.
As for a pregnancy update. I'm 29 weeks. We went to the 3rd doctors office for the 3rd time this pregnancy. I'm planning on staying there until this child exits my womb. I think I've gained about the same as last pregnancy, but I just feel more out of shape. The verdict is still out as to what the sex is. We actually were hoping to get an ultra sound at our apt yesterday...but that didn't happen. The nurse wants to wait. Of course, right!? Why not...what's another week or two? Heck, what's another 10 weeks now? Argh. I was pretty disappointed. Oh well. Maybe we're not supposed to know for a reason.
Jamie is getting ordained as a Deacon in the Anglican Church
