A new Drama!!

This past week I had another doctor's appointment and was going to have another ultrasound to make sure baby was growing healthily. Grammy Pat and Granddad was able to join me for this one as I thought it would be super special to share the moments with them as they witnessed their 9th great- grandchild (or so) growing. During the ultrasound the technician asked if I already new the sex of the baby after taking lots of measurements showing that "he" was growing appropriately. I said that we thought we were having a boy, but could you confirm that? She looked and looked, had me go to the bathroom, move to various positions, all that she could to see if she would be able to confirm the "boy" but after 40 minutes, she was not able to confirm! Oh man! We have "his" room all set up already! We only have boy clothes! We are not prepared for a girl, and now what is she telling me??? She can't confirm a boy? SO does that mean we are having a girl? Not exactly. Baby Steyaert is head up, bottom in pelvis, with spine toward the outside.. not exactly the easiest to see between the legs, especially at 31 weeks. She could see the bladder, kidneys, and other parts but there just were not "boy parts" where something should be. She said that if it was her guess that she would not say we were having a boy... but she was not saying we were having a girl either... So now we have a mystery... which is super fun but... I just gotta know! With any luck, maybe in 2 weeks we will be able to find out... She said after my next appointment to see if she was busy and if not, she will try to take another peek... Until then, my mind is blown and I am back to about 60-40 that we are having another little boy. I do know that I am blessed with great friends, that said in the chance that we have a little girl, they will have a party to help me redecorate the room for a little princess... What about names?? I don't even have one thought of. What about clothes? I got rid of most of my girl things when we were told this was a boy. What about raising a girl?I don't know how to have tea parties and frilly dresses and Barbies. But alas, I don't have to go there yet. This saga will either be put to rest next appointment, April 27th, or we will just be having a surprise on June 10th!

Whoever you are I will love you with all of my heart!

Announcing Baby Boy Steyaert

So we found out a few days ago that we would once again be blessed with another baby... BOY!! The ultrasound confirmed my suspicions and showed us very clearly that we will be a family of boys! Stephen was a little disappointed to find that he was not having a sister, but he is now excited to have another brother to play baseball with. Stephen was very sweet during the ultrasound. He wanted to make sure that I was ok and it wasn't hurting me or the baby. He kept saying, "Don't worry, Mom. Its almost over and it won't hurt you." He was so concerned. Scottie didn't want much to do with it. He really didn't understand. Daddy is super happy to have a quiver full of boys, although I think I saw a spark of disappointment before the comments of, "at least we won't have to pay for weddings" and such crept in. I am totally looking forward to being a MOB member... Moms of Boys! Look out world, the Steyaert boys are coming through!!
