Just what we need... a few more "puppy dog tails" around the house.
A few weeks ago we found out that we will be adding a boy to our family.
When the Dr. told us it was a boy, I think Rick was more excited about it that he thought he would be- he fist pumped the air and let out a "YES!".
Needless to say, we are both excited.
It took a little getting used to for my 6-year-old sister though. She threw herself on the bed asking for "No more boys!" Once she was reminded that she's still Rick's princess, she was fine, and stopped crying her crocodile tears. :)
So... the first thing everyone asks us is names. The answer: Yes, we have a few names... but probably won't decide until right before or right after he is born. Everyone has an opinion on names- giving us ideas, telling us what they think about our names... it's fine. We do know that the middle name will be Rawlings (after Rick), so hopefully that appeases all curiosity for the time being. :)
We have acquired a few more things to shove into the room that has become known as "Baby's room"... a bouncer chair, clothes, and more clothes. Right now we need to look into car seats and strollers. We would also like a Pack and Play for when I go back to work and he needs to go to grandma's for babysitting, but really, we don't want a lot of "stuff" that we don't need. (and maybe that's just another way of saying "I have no idea where to start or what we need.") Either way, we need to think of SOMETHING to put on our registry. Suggestions are welcome...
