It's A Boy! :) :)

We had an ultrasound yesterday and it was very easy to see that the baby is a BOY!

Oh hello Jude Michael :)

I'm still in shock. Before yesterday, if I had to guess the sex I would have said a girl. But during the ultrasound, I was able to recognize that it was a boy immediately, and just blurted out "OH MY GOD THAT'S A BOY" before the technician could even open her mouth. Then I just got flooded with all these thoughts- I was going to have a boy! A little brother for Lily! A little Eddie! Which all caused me to start laughing in a sort of creepy-hysterical tone while crying at the same time.

Good times.

Lily was there too. I don't think she quite understood what Mama and Daddy were cheering about, but she was more than happy to cheer right along with us. Last night I got all weepy while putting her to bed, because sometimes I seriously feel like her gender ultrasound could have been last week, and now she's two and in her big girl room in her big girl bed, singing along while I go through her favorite lullabies before sleep and demanding to watch Sesame Street as soon as she wakes up in the morning. And soon she's not just gonna be Lily anymore, but Lily the Big Sister. She'll always be my baby, no matter how big she gets. (Apparently she'll be old enough to DRIVE and DATE and LIVE ON HER OWN one day...but I'm pretty sure that's just a crazy ass rumor that people keep telling me to see me squirm.)

Either way, starting our own little family has been incredible so far, and I can only imagine how I'll feel once Jude is here to add his super-awesome-super-cute presence to the mix. Such love is so big and scary, but also the greatest feeling in the entire world.
