We're having a BOY!!
When the ultrasound tech said it was a boy, I immediately said, 'Are you sure?!' Yeah, she was pretty sure.
We are very happy and excited that it's a boy! It was such a wonderful moment.
Here's my conversation with Abbey when I called to tell her:
ME: Abbey, guess what Aunt Hannah and Uncle Steve are going to have?
ABBEY: What?
ME: We're going to have a baby BOY!
ABBEY: What?!! I don't like boys! I want a girl.
ME: Yeah, but you're going to have a baby sister in a few weeks (my SIL is due next week). It's okay if our baby is a boy. You'll have another boy cousin.
SILENCE ON THE PHONE
ME: Abbey, aren't you happy for us?
ABBEY: No, but mommy is (I can hear her mom in the background). I don't like boys.
ME: But our baby boy can play with your baby sister. Aren't you excited?
ABBEY: (reluctantly) Yeah, a little bit.
She's such a little stinker!
There's a Vietnamese old wives tale that they use to predict baby gender. My sister's baby boy, MJ, is six months old and they came to have lunch with me yesterday. I wanted to test this theory out so I didn't tell my sister that I knew it was a boy yet. So the theory goes like this, if you are pregnant and hold a baby (boy) on your belly and the baby stands with only one foot on your belly, it's a boy. And if it stands with two feet, then it's a girl. (The opposite applies if you are holding a baby girl on your belly - one foot equals girl and two feet equals boy).
Well, I held up baby MJ and put his little feet on my belly and he would only stand with one foot on my belly and the other foot up. I did it several times and each time he would do the same thing. Then I would put him on my lap to see if he would stand straight up and sure enough, he would stand on two feet on my lap. Then I switched him back to my belly and he would switch back to only one foot. It was the cutest thing! My sister was very happy that we are having a boy. She has a lot of baby boys clothes to hand down! I'll take whatever I can get to save money.
I told Steve I needed to stock up on baby clothes that say this:
He didn't agree, but 'm sure I can sneak a few of them in.

OH MY GOODNESS! Congrats to you and Steve...now, as long as you don't name the baby like the name that I saw in my dreams...I won't get so freaked. SO FUNNY...when you said that you guys found out that the baby was a boy but did not want to tell us yet...I don't know how but I just felt that the baby was a boy... A Vietnamese wives tale huh? Someone told me this too but she was not Vietnamese...another tale that my mom told me was if I was craving sweets then the baby is a girl and if I wanted sour & salty food, then the baby is a boy...
Congratulations! Boys are always so good to their mama's. For the rest of your life you'll have two men in your life who will adore you :)
Yay Hannah! Congrats on your baby boy! I still can't make out how they can tell its a boy and I wont even embarress myself...I think I saw berries, but not sure?!
The Vietnamese wives tale was so fascinating and true- how neat is that?! I want to try it *when* we get pregnant.
Woo Hoo!
So excited for all 3 of you : )

Congrats! Boys are so fun! Better start learning your tractor names (backhoe, skid loader, manure spreader) because you're going to have 2 wannabe farmers soon!
How exciting to find out the gender! Abbey is so funny. What a great age when they're so perfectly honest!

Happy Baby Boy! I am so excited for you guys! CONGRATS!!!!!
How wonderful and exciting! I would totally be buying shirts that said stuff like that. Hugs you must be dancing for joy I feel like finding out the sex makes the whole thing more real.

Congrats Hannah! Now I know what colors to send. ;)
That is so funny about the Old Wives tale. I totally would have tried it out too.
Abbey sure is a goof. I am sure she will learn to love the baby, even if he isn't a girl. :)
