Went to the doctor last week to see our butterbean!! Found out it was a B O Y! It was weird because I thought it might be a boy but was not sure, they day of the ultrasound I had a feeling it might be a girl. My Mom and sister wanted to throw us a reveal party but Jonathan and I did not really want one. Here is my thought on those parties. When I had Skylar, 5 years ago, they were not big at all and now it is like the thing to do. I think it is a cute idea, however, we did not want anyone else to find out the sex before we did. To me it is a intimate, fun thing to actually see your babies "parts" yourself in person. And we do not really have a big enough family to invite to a reveal party if we were to reveal the gender to them. So with that being said I asked my sister and Mom if they wanted to go to the doctor with us to see it for themselves, because to me that is way cooler! I had some cute shirts made up that Jonathan and I wore. Mine read, 'Mommy THINKS it is a Boy' and Jonathan's read, 'Daddy HOPES it is a girl'. Jonathan and I saw the penis right before she told us, Jonathan said IT IS A BOY! before the ultrasound tech was able to. My Mom, sister, Skylar and me all SCREAMED and clapped so loud! It was kind of funny, like we won the world series or something. Ha ha. Jonathan was excited of course and I felt bad because he did want a little girl, but we were all happy either way and that our little bean is healthy. I had not bought anything for butterbean until we knew the gender. So last week, Mom, Crystal and I all had the same idea and bought him so many clothes from Once Upon A Child. I could not help myself. Little boy clothes are not as bad as I thought. It is so fun and different shopping for a boy. :) We have decided to do the nursery in grey and aqua with baby elephants. So excited! Going to paint his room this week hopefully. He went from having ZERO clothes to a full wardrobe for 3-6 months. I did not buy a whole lot of newborn stuff because Skylar was a 9lb baby. BTW, his name is going to be Langston Cawley! Getting excited, oh he is a very active baby! Kicks and flips all of the time.
