It's A Boy!!

OK, the secret is out, we are having a boy! William Daniel Roach is a very healthy, active baby. We went for our ultrasound on Monday and got the news. All I can say is that I am so glad I am having a baby in the 21st century. Our ultrasound was in 4D and was priceless. We got to see all of our sons parts including bones, stomach, fingers, toes, brain, heart, and his gallbladder. He would not stop moving the whole ultrasound. He loves his fingers, I think he must of just discovered them and has something to do. I am sure it gets boring in there at times. His kicks are very strong, I couldn't wait to feel them, now that there here it feels weird when he sleeps because I am so used to them.

We just told our parents last night. They were so excited, OK more than excited. This child has no chance in the world. They are already making there shopping list. I bet you everyone of them is shopping today. We have to keep reminding them that things have changed since they had a baby 27 years ago. There going to have to go back to school. We set some ground rules last night... they have to take a baby CPR and a first aid class, all of the babies toys have to be learning toys, and they have to stay on our schedule if the baby comes to stay with them. We didn't think that was too much to ask. The biggest one was, if they question whether they should buy it or not ask first and don't get your feelings hurt if we tell you that it has to stay at your house!

We finally found a nursery school. This was a new parents nightmare! We have been on a school waiting list since the day I found out I was pregnant, now much earlier can you get? We still can't get in until November. Our baby needs to go to school starting the middle of August. So, we searched and searched and we finally found a "good enough" place for our Daniel to go. Yes, ask my husband I am the typical new mother. My child will have the best education - period! And that starts day one. Some people think I am crazy and that's fine. I would rather be wrong and waste my time than have a stupid child that loves to play with purposeless toys.

Life has still not slowed down. Honestly, I don't know what we would do if it did. Next project: Nursery! I want the nursery done before my third trimester. We have 7 weeks and a lot to do. The room must be painted, pin-strips painted, the antique furniture re-done, light fixture hung, drapes finished and hung. Not to mention all of the little stuff that needs to be finished. We are going to be busy little bees!!
