You're my Boy Blue! YOU'RE MY BOY!

  Today was a very exciting day for you, me & your Daddy! Today was your anatomy scan at the doctors office and we were able to see you in action and it was a beautiful sight my sweet! They looked at all of your major organs and confirmed that you were growing healthy and normal and even a little ahead of schedule. You were very active, kicking back at the ultrasound tech wherever she pushed around. We saw the details of your heart, you sucking your thumb, yawning and waving and stretching those long fingers and toes. They told us you will most likely be very tall with those nice long leg measurements.

  Today was also the day that we got to find out if you were a boy or a girl and I was kind of nervous about it. When I was pregnant with your sister I didn’t have a preference about having a boy or girl, but with you from the beginning I felt like having another little girl would be so great. I was so used to the idea of being a Mommy to a little girl that my heart was leaning in that direction. I was a little bit afraid on how I would feel when we found out, I didn’t want to feel disappointed because I love you so much already and I’m so excited & grateful for your presence in my life. And at the end of the day I truly, honest to goodness do.not.care if you are a boy or girl I only care that you are healthy. It’s just another slightly more emotional side to expecting a new baby after losing one. Anywho, not too far into the ultrasound you made it perfectly clear to us and the ultrasound tech that you were a BOY!! Holy smokes a boy! I looked over at your Dad and he had the biggest, proudest, sweetest smile on his face that it made me start crying. Being able to see that smile on his face after all the pain he’s been through made me so incredibly happy. Picturing him with you, his little boy, is the happiest thought I’ve had in a long time. I couldn’t be happier and more excited to become a Mommy to you, my little man J ! Frogs and snails and puppy dog tails it is!!!

 

 

 

  About three more times during the ultrasound, just in case we missed it the 1^st time you let us know from several different angles “I’mma Boy! You wanna measure my legs? How about THIS? BOY!”  It was pretty funny. It made me think back to all of the little boys I watched in my days as a Nanny and how they just love to be naked. I’d walk into one of the houses I worked in and BAM naked 2 year old walking backwards down the front steps butt cheeks and everything on display. Happy as can be. Who needs clothes? The more I think about it the more excited I am to get to know you and learn about how to raise a happy little boy. I promise that I won’t pressure you into overly manly activities but will support you if you are interested in them! I promise to hold your hand as long as you want me too, but not so long that it embarrasses you in front of your friends. I promise to love and respect you and always be there for you. We are going to have fun together exploring the world through your eyes. I’m looking forward to all of the adventures ahead of us. I love you lil’ Mr. Mattson, you’re my boy Blue! YOU’RE MY BOY!

Here is a quick video clip from your ultrasound today, getting your kick on. Look at those glorious legs! Haha!
