Let's Hear It For The Boy!

Baby BOY Lyman! Can't wait!

We found out our new bundle is going to be a boy! I am still in shock. I never thought God would see me as a "boy mom" I don't know the first thing about boys! I'm terrified.


Daddy and I were positive you were a girl. The pregnancies have been identical other then the fact that you are so mellow and hang out pretty low in the womb. My face has completely broken out so maybe I'm just not one of those ladies who gets a pregnancy glow. Oh well

We went in for an early gender check ultrasound because I just couldn't wait a month longer. Its a really quick ultrasound, maybe 5 minutes max. We saw you profile, spine, legs, and an arm and then we saw the "money shot". I asked the tech to wait and see if I could guess it first and before she was even on the exact spot I screamed ITS A BOY! (it was obvious) and she said "yup" and then she moved the tool around a bit because she wanted to double check to make sure that wasn't the cord in the way. She got back to the spot and said "nope, I am 100% positive that's a boy". I was instantly uncontrollably crying. Again, I am so surprised because I am so emotional this pregnancy. WHAT THE HECK! Madison got upset because I was crying and so she hid and was grumpy. Once we explained that mommy was so happy she was crying, she became alright with it. So far she is ok with the idea of a little brother and no longer calls you little sister. She calls you Baby Boy because thats all she heard, I don't think she knows what a brother is.

I am so excited but so nervous at the same time. Too many emotions going on. So far we have told both parents and Mimi was the most excited. We will tell Zachs siblings on Sunday and I know Aunt Lindsay will probably be ticked that she no longer has the only boy grandchild. I'm just praying she at least fakes a smile for us.

I look forward to the friendship you will have with your sister. I pray that you two will get along and enjoy each others company. I hated my brother all growing up and I hope you have a different relationship.

Oh man. A BOY! I still can't get over it. We love you already little guy. Can't wait to see what you will look like.
