Our Baby is a BOY!

I was a ball of nerves last night and this morning. It was our big day to find out what we would be adding to our family. I wasn't nervous to find out that my motherly instinct was right this time, and we indeed were having a boy. I was nervous, because I was afraid of bad news. With the ultrasound almost taking an hour, I am amazed and feel blessed that everything from head to toe checks out on Our Vin. You don't realize all the little things that can/do go wrong until the nurse says something like "his lips and nostrils look great". That hadn't even crossed my mind.Before she started she asked us what we wanted. Van proudly annouced "I want a BROTHER!" I think that Paul knew in his heart that this would be a boy, but said "I want a girl." We both know that we won't be finished with our family now that Vin is coming, we know that there is a another little girl...as hard as that is for me to say right now. ;) The ultrasound tech said that Paul was the first man she has seen to want a girl, and not be jumping out of his seat at the news of a boy. Funny that she would say that, because when it was annouced to us that Van was indeed a girl...he did just that...jumped right out of his chair.Vin is proving to be just like his older sister, because he is extremely active. When you get an apology from the ultrasound tech of "if this is a sign of what is yet to come, I'm sorry!" You know that your baby has got some intense energy!

It definitely hasn't started to sink in. I am sure that with a few shopping trips to look for Polo shirts, trucks, and such...we will be ready for Vin with open arms come March.
