On December 20th (last Tuesday) we were blessed with the best Christmas gift we could possibly get as expecting parents. We went to our 20.5 week appointment, met with the OB, and had our ultrasound. I am a paranoid freak when it comes to the *big* ultrasound as I know all the bad things that can happen. Luckily, I am so, so, so happy to say that our little "Cletus the Fetus" (B's current nn for the baby. Yes, I am being serious, and yes, it's awful) is as healthy and active as can be!!! This baby is much more active than Spencer was, and it definitely proved it during the ultrasound by doing all kinds of gymnastics for us while we were watching!
Let me be the first to introduce to you our sweet new bundle of (a little over halfway there)love!! Adorable, isn't it??? And let me also be the first to tell you that, in May, Spencer will be welcoming a baby...........
BROTHER!!!
Yep, it's another little boy for the T family. While a small part of me is sad that bows, dresses, and 80% of children's clothing stores will not be a part of my life, I am thrilled that Spence will have playmate, a hockey partner, and a best friend for life. B is thrilled that I just cut our costs by 90% (because Lord knows I would not be able to resist much in the world of girl's clothes!!). But, in all seriousness, we are just beyond excited that this baby is healthy and growing as expected. We realize how amazing a miracle this is and feel incredibly blessed. Now we just have to be patient for 20 more weeks until we can meet him!
Oh, and let the naming begin!!!
Congrats! A little brother! How exciting..

babies above all else are great, but as a sis of a sis, I LOVE fams that have kiddies of the same gender- SYT will have so much fun with Cletus (and vice versa) and even through the head butting, will know that his best friend is only one bedroom away :)

ReplyDeleteCongrats! Brothers and buddies forever. You know I completely identify with all you are feeling when I found out my #2 was also a boy. Just think...more girl clothes for you! It's how I've dealt with the not being able to buy little girl clothes.
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!!!!!!! So glad to hear this!
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud at Cletus the Fetus! My husband called our little girl Cletus the Fetus for the first 20 weeks as well! Congratulations!
