The wait towards our 19-week anatomy scan seemed to drag forever, and then the wait to actually see an ultrasound technician took forever as well. But after a long, 45-minute scan (yeah, the tech made us wait till the last minute to reveal the gender), we were told our 3rd little miracle is a BOY! He wasn’t shy, either, and was bouncing all over the place!
Having a boy after two girls is a quite the change, but we’ve already started picking out potential baby gear (playpen, swing, bouncer, etc.), and shopping in the BLUE department of stores is quite fun! Last night, I picked about 6-7 newborn size sleepers and they are super cute. Afterwards, while out with the family we also picked out a potential coming-home outfit (I had to pack away Natasha & Veronika’s coming-home outfit – they used the same one – into their memory box and that was very bittersweet. Didn’t help that hubby was making fun of me for even saving it, but it’s important to me!), and a cute fleecy snowsuit since baby’s due in December.
The girls are extremely excited about having a little brother and are very curious about all the changes and clothing and talk about it. They won’t stop asking questions and the whole experience is even more interesting to see through their eyes.
