Boy Oh Boy

So I was gonna scan the ultra sound pictures this weekend, but yea.....I'm a slacker. *shrug* Oh well, I'll get around to it eventually.

But.....ANYWAY as you can tell from the title, Mike and I are having a boy this time around!
Mike was shocked, but I was feeling boy the whole time this time.
When the Ultrasound Tech announced the sex Mike was like: Really!?!?
and I was like I TOLD YOU!!!

The second words out of his mouth were: This means we're done, right?
and I said: We'll see.
and he responded: WHAT?!

tee hee

As far as having a boy, my mind is going a bit crazy. I always thought I was more suited to having boys than girls at first. I'm more of a one of the guys type of girl. I like sports, beer, camping, all that guy type stuff. All my friends were always guys. But now that I know that I'm having a boy I'm a little freaked. I've turned into such a girlie girl since I became pregnant with Allie. I'm not sure if it's because I had a girl or just being a part of the "Pregnancy Club" or the "Mom Club" that brought out the girl in me. I've talked about this before, but there is nothing more feminine than being pregnant and giving birth, whether your a tomboy or not.

Also I'm prettified by the idea of being a Mother In Law! Isn't that funny? I know you can be a MIL with a girl too, but it's not the same. The mother of a guy is so different. To me you have to be twice as careful because more of the time the woman of the relationship controls the house and the kids and you will be an outsider. Where the MIL of the woman is usually there to "help" her daughter decorate the house and answer questions about raising kids ect. Although I have to say that my MIL does this so well. It's like she just knows what to say and not to say and we get along great! I know I'm being crazy, the kid isn't even born yet and I'm worried about my relationship with his wife!

Another thing that came up last night while watching The Sopranos is the fact that Italian mothers tend to over-protect and baby their sons. Will I do that? I don't think of myself as THAT Italian, if you know what I mean. But neither is my mother, and I always thought that she treated my brother like a prince! She raised me to be strong and independent, meanwhile I already feel sorry for the woman that is going to end up with my brother! LOL Will this be one of those things that I say "I would NEVER do that!" and then end up doing it without even realizing it?

LOL I thought Mike was crazy when he was worrying about Allie's boyfriends when she was a newborn. I guess it's all relative.

The Birth of Althea Raye

My good friend Black Belt Mamma has this amazing site called Birth Stories. I was totally addicted to this site when I was pregnant last time. I always wanted to fill my brain up with as many different possibilities of how birth can be like. That way I was prepared, or as prepared as I could be. Since then I refer it out to anyone I know who's pregnant so they can hear about real stories from real moms. Knowing what happened to other moms makes it less scary.

Well this week, she's got The Birth of Althea Raye up there. Go check out my birth story!

p.s. I'll be posting the pictures of my U/S over the weekend.......and breaking the news. *grin*

Para-noi-ah may destroy yaaaa

The Confessions of a Preggo:
  • At least once if not several times I've gone over the "specified dosage" of Tylenol while pregnant.
  • The number of times that I have missed taking my prenatal vitamin is possibly in the double digits.
  • I drink caffeinated coffee every day.
  • I drink caffeinated soda sometimes too.
  • I've been craving and eating Raman Noodles, even though they are horrible for you and full of salt.
  • I'm already dreading breastfeeding.
  • Since I've been pregnant I've drank 2 half glasses of red wine.
  • I miss the fact that I haven't been having the awesome sex dreams that I had when I was pregnant with Allie.
  • I worry that I got pregnant too fast and that Allie is going to suffer.
  • I worry that we are not going to have the money to either have me stay home to watch Allie and the baby or to send them both to day care.
  • I worry that taking Allie out of daycare, if I decide to stay home, would be detrimental to her development.
  • I worry that if I decide to stay home that I'd miss working. (not sure if that's possible but it crosses my mind)
  • I don't feel any bonding or attachment to the baby in my belly till I know the sex. Like it's not real till I find out Girl/Boy. Which btw I'm finding out next week.

BTW, have you gone to visit Dad said Mom said recently? Those bloggers that I got over there are really funny.
