Boy! 

Per usual, I’m a bit late on the update but … we’re having another boy! Yay!

We already think that he looks like Owen. 

Getting our anatomy scan involved a fun venture out into town, as the base hospital can’t do them there for whatever reason. It went fine, but I’d say the highlight was that the OB repeatedly offered me espresso and seemed truly disappointed that I didn’t want any. He told us, “George Clooney says it is fine!” Apparently, Clooney is a spokesman for whatever brand of Italian coffee he was drinking, haha.

He also ran out of the office to “get us breakfast” at some point, which turned out to be him ordering some pastries to be waiting when we finished. I’m not a big fan of most Italian pastry, but the ones he got turned out to be pretty awesome. Perks of going to an Italian doctor, perhaps?!

I attempted to do a reveal cake for the kids this time around, and uhhhhhhh construction went fairly poorly. I was really short on time because I had assignments to finish and my in-laws were due to arrive about an hour after our ultrasound, so the night before I made a couple of box cakes with the intention of slapping blue or pink frosting in between before I picked the kids up from school.

Yeah. So it turns out I can’t even make box cakes properly, as they crumbled pretty badly as I  was trying to get them out of the pans and then again as I was slapping on the frosting. At one point Chris had to come to the rescue with some tin foil to wrap around the edge because every time I tried to stop the blue frosting from peeking out, it deteriorated further. Whoops.

The kids had fun cutting it open though! Owen was very excited it was a boy. Fiona was a pretty bummed, but I think it was much more about having been wrong in guessing what we were having. She and Chris had guessed girl, while Owen and I were team boy. She got over it quickly though!

But overall, I think the most important take away is that I WAS RIGHT. Again! I’ve been calling this baby “he” for months. A certain member of our household doesn’t believe in intuition when it comes to this stuff, but the fact is that I am now THREE FOR THREE.

So, to sum it up just once more, I was right and Chris was wrong. YAS.

Also, hooray for another little boy!
