Guess what?

Posted on | October 6, 2008 | 26 Comments

It’s a boy!

I’m thrilled. I’ve always pictured myself being the mama of boys.

Exhibit A: Bean will clearly be the world’s best brother.

Exhibit B: Indubitably boy. (His leg is tucked up under him. It’s a direct crotch shot…which I thought twice about posting on the Internet, but then I thought about the 5 months of nausea and general malease he’s caused and I felt perfectly fine with it.)

Gratuitous cute ultrasound pic: thumbs up!

    Congratulations. It is a blast being the mother of sons. (And you’ll save a ton of money on hand-me-downs!!)

    congratulations. Two boys are fabulous. Mine are 20 and 26, can’t imagine where the time went. At the time i wanted the typical girl, and boy to have the experience of both. But when i look back, can’t imagine having other than what i got.

    My neices fill up the girl gap!

    That first boy of yours is so damn cute that you must be extremely excited that you’re having a second one. You have years of wrestling and running and competing over everything to look forward. Congratulations. I’m so thrilled for you.

    Congrats! I too was totally wrong — I thought for sure you’d have a girl. Two boys are going to be fun though!

    And is it just the lighting, or is Bean’s hair getting darker? He is too cute for words. :)

    Congratulations!

    I find out what I’m having in about two weeks – I’m guessing boy, too.\

    So fun to anticipate kids being older siblings! :D

    Hi! I found you again after you randomly popped into my mind. Thankfully I remembered “my topography” and thankfully it’s your domain name. Congratulations on another BOY! Coincidentally I am currently pregnant with another girl. =) Can’t wait to come back and peruse pictures/entries when I have time.

    that is fantastic. why did you see yourself as a mother of boys instead of girls you think?

    How wonderful for all of you! And those pictures! I had my son in the days when some OB/gyns only did scans when they had cause for concern, so there were no pictures taken! I always felt faintly jealous of mothers who got to have scans!
