This weekend we found out that we are having a baby boy! It still has yet to completely sink in that we know the gender of our Little Toasty Bun. It was with much anticipation that I quickly jumped from.."hmm I don't know if I want to know the gender??" to "I can't make the weeks go by fast enough until I find out!!". I partially still feel like I am walking in a dream because anyone that has known me for a long time knows that because I was blessed with ALL sisters and no brothers I have always wanted to have a boy be my first born. Well, as I got older and once I found out that we were expecting to be completely honest it really didn't matter what the gender was as long as the baby is healthy. Yet, there is still that little of splendor of joy inside screaming, "All my dreams are coming true!". And with much excitement we join Team Blue.
Now comes the hard part thus far...find a name for this little boy. As you may have noticed I am still referring to him a LTB. Well, that would be because his Daddy and I are have not found name. #1 we haven't found a name that we just love, and #2 we really can't seem to agree on what we do like. The task of picking a name for LTB is much much harder than I thought that it would be. I know that we have plenty of time to find a name but for some reason I can't shake this nagging feeling. Probably mostly due to my personality of wanting to everything planned and in place. So, we are somewhat set on waiting to see him. I think that may make the naming process best. But, only time will tell.
It is a different feeling to know that we have a little boy in there. There are lots of reasons why my original thought was to wait and have it be a surprise. Of course there is also lots of reasons that some do find out the gender. It makes the name picking a lot easier, some of the clothes and nursery shopping easier as well. However, when my very wise cousin Deborah told me her reason for finding out the gender I was for lack of a better word "sold". She shared what an amazing boding experience it was for her to know that she was having. Once she told me that I could not wait, I knew that I would need to know ASAP. It is already an amazing boding experience carrying LTB and seeing my tummy grow but now to know that he is a he and he is all mine (well I do have to share with Daddy) is just brings a warming to my heart that I really cannot fully express right now.
