WOW!!! January?! REALLY?! Well...BIG update today...lol...in January or February, I was told I would have a girl! YAY!!! Her name was Annabel Marley! 'Annabel' after my favorite Edgar Allen Poe poem and 'Marley' after Bob Marley, of course! We had really wanted a boy though...but...ok...we got used to the girl idea...

So, on April 2, 2009, I had a very healthy, 8lb 9oz, 21" long baby BOY! YAY!!! Wait...what?! SURPRISE!!!!!!!!

Haha...I guess you can will the gender...lol...

So, there I was, 12:57pm, giving the last push and reeling from the 'I just lost 10 pounds in 10 seconds' feeling and my doctor puts him on my tummy and while I am lookin' at him (he was tucked in little ball with his legs together), the doctor asks me, "What were you gonna name this baby again?" I point to the dry erase board where we wrote the name earlier and I said, "Annabel Marley. Why?" So he then spreads the baby's legs apart to show me it was a boy...Me and my husband started laughing hysterically! It was halarious! We weren't mad or nothing but it was awesome! My son had a brother! First time in 7 years he was wrong...lol...He came and dropped in the next 2 days and apologized a lot...lol...The only thing that was bad about it is that we had actually had a baby shower this time and so I had a pink diaper bag with pink crap in it and a pretty little dress for him to come home in.............

Yeah...

So my mom went out and got him some boy things to come home in...lol...I'll get some pictures up after a bit...

But how halarious! Me and Mikey(my hubby) laughed for like three days straight 'cause we were so happy...lol...SO now I need to get a new baby book...because the one I had was pink and for girls...lol...ALL the clothes...ALL the blankets...lol...my aunt made a quilt for 'her' too...ugh...lol...

Hes' doing good now and Ethan(the new big brother) still doesn't know what all is goin' on...lol...Although he gave him some lovins the other day and he knows he isn't getting as much of my attention either...

Another funny thing is the day before we induced, I had told Mom, "Wouldn't it be funny if I had a boy instead? I seriously thought about packing a boy's onesie just in case." But I didn't...lol...



More updates...
