So, remember how I told you the baby was massive?
Well, last week when we were at our ultrasound, at 12 weeks and 5 days for you detail-oriented folk, Blast was measuring ten days ahead, and I made the comment to Matt that if it was going to be that big, then I hoped it was a boy because I would feel guilty bringing some kind of amazon girl into the world.
And the ultrasound lady--who is amazing, by the way--just whipped her magic little noise wand around and said, "Well, there you go, then." (Also, she had a pretty thick Southern accent.) "Oh yeah, there you've got a little penis, and a scrotum. . .Oh, I'm gonna go ahead and call this one." And then she typed in "It's a boy!!!!"*
Well, I'll be damned!
Here's the part where I would put up a picture of the goods, but Matt says we shouldn't put that on the internet, and I think that's probably just good life advice. So here's a picture I stole from the internet instead of a whale and some words.
Anyway, it's a boy. A giant, hulking boy. Matt's excited to take him camping and to talk to him about nerdy boy stuff like comic books and Dungeons and Dragons and sports. I'm excited because I don't have to worry about him getting pregnant or becoming a stripper.
*Truth? I initially wanted a girl because I have a certain fondness for bitchy older sisters, but when I found out it was a boy I was nothing but happy and excited. And now, whenever I see a bitchy teenage girl, I just think about how lucky I am to be having a boy. Plus, our first-born is a boy, so I feel like I know what I'm doing a little more with males.
******Baby, if you are reading this far, far in the future. I hope you did not become pregnant unless it was part of a really awesome scientific experiment. Also, be glad that you don't have parents who put naked pictures of you on the internet. Those people are called child pornographers.******

Cassie spelled out boy on the cake with nuts. He he he.

What if he's a male stripper? I think that's even worse than a female stripper.
ReplyDeleteAlso, so excited it's a boy! xoxo
Congrats Mandy! I like the "blast" name. Abi was "frito" for a long time. Except for when we didn't know she was a girl and she was "Alouicious", "Al" for short. But anyway, that is SO exciting and I hope the rest of the pregnancy is easy for you!
ReplyDeleteYeah? Worse than female strippers? Hopefully we won't have to ever worry about that.
ReplyDeleteLaura! Thanks! I love Alouicious. That would be a fun dog name, too. How's your little man doing?
Congrats on Boy Making! Also, I laughed at BOY spelled out in nuts for like 20 minutes because I'm 13.
