Our Baby G is a BOY!!!

Our Baby G is a BOY!!! Vladi and I had our 2nd and probably last ultrasound today. I am 20 weeks, halfway point, and our big boy weighs a whopping 13 ounces!!! Dr. B. and the technician, Meredith, said that he is healthy and all of his measurements are good. When we go home to KY, we will post better pics in place of these. I have to take a picture of the photos because we do not have a scanner. The picture at top is Baby Boy G's head at the right (profile shot) and his arm is up as he sucks his thumb.



This is a picture of Baby Boy G's hand. How precious! It is so wonderful to think that I will be holding that little hand in a few months.
I asked the tech how sure she was that Baby Boy G is a boy. She said 99.9% sure. If it is a girl, she is worried about what will be between the legs. We could definitely see that Baby Boy G is a boy. It gave us a good laugh.
Vladi and I are so thrilled! After we left the Dr. office, I just cried and cried with happiness. I am so excited to have a boy! When teaching, I love all my students, past & present. I like how the girls bring out my girlie side, but I also like how the boys bring out a different side of me...a cooler side. During the ultrasound, I could see in Vladi's eyes all his dreams for our little one~teaching him to play soccer/sports, male bonding, and being a great dad like our dads have been to us. I am excited about taking him to the zoo, hearing my little boy tell me that he loves me "bigger than the sky" or "to the moon and back," and T-ball games. I love cheering at games and friends have always told me that I would be a good sports mom (or soccer mom in Vladi's eyes) cheering in the stands. I can't wait to be a loving mom like Natasha and my Mom.
This is such a special Christmas and I already know that I will be shedding tears at Frankfort's Christmas Eve Mass when I see Baby Jesus. I love my little boy so much already, and I know this love will grow even more. I look forward, and I hope you do too, to many more posts about how that love is growing.
Have a truly Merry Christmas and remember many years ago three wise men followed a star and came upon a baby swaddled in a manger. Jesus is the reason for this season!
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah

Congratulations, a boy! That is so exciting!
Maybe we will run into each other at Christmas Eve mass! I don't know which day we will be making it to mass!
Have a safe trip home!
