It's On! Boys vs Girls

When we found out Brooke was going to be a girl, Blake started asking, "How are my girls?" And for a long time I'd reply "We're good." or something like that. As Brooke gets older and Blake still asks that question my replies are starting to sound more like this: "The girls are not getting along" or "The girls need a break from each other" We have even taken this saying to a whole new level. For instance, on Sunday when I am frantically rushing around trying to fix Brooke's tangled hair without her yelling at me and Blake is sitting calmly at the kitchen table waiting for us, he'll say "Well, the boys in this house are ready." Which is when I usually shoot him a dirty look.

But now, another teammate is coming to our home to even the odds.We are going to have a boy!! We are excited and surprised and I'll admit even a little nervous. I am used to princesses, dress-up, and playing with dolls. I don't know anything about boys! But we are excited for this new little one and are even more excited that everything on the ultrasound looks healthy and normal. Maybe a little too healthy. This baby is measuring a week and 3 days ahead and is already in the 80th percentile for height and weight. This bumps my due date to Feb. 3 (if he keeps measuring this way) and I am praying I go early and do not have a giant baby.

Here are some not-so-great pictures of the baby. These are scans so the quality isn't great and he had his head pressed into the placenta so it was hard to get a good shot, but you get the idea.
