Thank Heaven for Little Boys!

We are expecting another little boy!! The night before the appointment I said to Miles, "I really think we're having a boy." But honestly, if you asked me a month or two ago, I would have said I thought we were having a girl. But that night I really felt very confident that we would find out we were expecting a boy. and let's be honest, it's a 50/50 chance, so not really that impressive to have a hunch one way or the other.

I know finding out the gender can be hard for a lot of parents who have lost a baby. Having a girl would be hard as we were so ready for a boy. Before Cale was even born, I wanted another boy after him anyway, so I know it would have been a little harder for me emotionally to wrap my head around having a girl (even though I'm sure we would eventually grow to be really excited). But I know people can even have a hard time adjusting to the same gender as you never want others to view your current baby as a replacement. But I'm not worried about that. Instead I just love the idea that there's a baby boy in Heaven for us to love and a baby boy in my belly for us to love.

Miles is excited too. I think, well I know, he's excited that I have no excuse to go out and buy a bunch of girl stuff. We are all set for this little guy! And I think he's secretly patting himself on the back, like he's proud that he only makes men! (so far anyway).
