BOY! So I just got back from the Doctor's office and needless to say we're back into blue! Scott said that just bought him 18 more years of camping, and when I picked Harry up from school he ran to me asking if it was a boy or girl. When I gave him the news, his answer honestly made my heart leap. His body was uncontrolled and he yelled...YES! Ava was literally devastated but she has already come around.
I'll be honest, I'm still processing the info. This is the honest truth. Aside from the fact that I have every bow and legwarmer ever made, as well as every shade of pink in every item of clothing and accesories...so equipt for another girl, I'm bummed that this little guy and Harry will be almost a decade apart. I feel as though with my boys I'll never be able to just throw them in a room and let them go nuts with bob the builder toys, as I do princess tea party stuff with the girls.
Other than that, words cannot express how grateful I am that the most important things are in place. The baby thus far looks completely healthy and who could ask for more than that?
But if any of you have any words of encouragement, personal stories of having a good relationship with a sibling of the same sex a decade apart from you with siblings of the opposite sex in the middle of you, I welcome any stories. WOW I sound negative. I'm thinking of not even posting this.....but I will. Because it just wouldn't be me not saying everything unholy on my mind now would it?

Congratulations! I am so happy for you guys! I was hoping for a boy for you guys!
YEAH!!!! I love boys! Less drama!!
I've got no advice, but I am so happy for your guys!!!!!!!!!! Two girls, and two boys seems pretty dang good if you ask me!
That is great news! I have always felt that it was so sad that Jasmyn is so far apart from her little sister and now another, until recently. It's a different relationship but a wonderful one. No competition. I think it will be the same with boys. Harry will never desire to bug, pester, hurt his little brother. Always looking out for him and being a great example for him to follow. Harry will want to take on that role because he realizes that his brother will admire and emulate what he does. I could go on and on. I think they are going to have an amazing relationship.
Congratulations!
Trust ME, they'll play bob the builder together!!!! If my boys will play tea party with Rissa, Yours will play bob the builder together!! You have to realize that this gives Harry the "excuse" to play with them, even though he'll be 9 or 10 by then:) THEY WILL PLAY TOGETHER!!! I'm soo excited for you!! Tell Dr B hi for me:)
I am excited with you. Harrison is going to love having a baby brother that he can do "guy" stuff with. They will be close because they are the two guys.
Jill, I've been thinking of you since Chucky Cheese! I'm so happy for you! Wish I had advice for you.
CONGRATS!!! YAHOOOO!!! I think it's perfect! Sometimes it's better when they aren't close so the younger doesn't have to walk in the shadow! Look how close you and your sis are!
Do you need/want any boy clothes? I happen to have sizes 0 - 2T at my house, in boxes, nedding a new owner. =)
P.S. Congratulations!!
I've never posted on my own blog before but I just want to thank everyone for such great input. The day I found out I was in shock simply b/c I was sick so long I had decided it was a girl. But literally the next day I just started getting so excited and every little boy I saw made me smile and realize how even though there is almost a decade between them, how awesome they're relationship will be! Bring on the superheros baby!
Jill, I am so happy for you! Congratualtions! It will be so fun for Harry to be able to have a brother! :)
So exciting Jill! I haven't talked to you for awhile but I found out your were prego from your blog. Harrison will love having a little brother to look after and be buds with! Congratulations!
