Growing Along

Baby is growing right along.  My daughter and her husband are really hoping the gender is a boy, and can hardly wait a month to find out. I started out hoping it was a girl. I have had girls, I am use to girls, we have many little girl clothes to share, and I just thought it would be a girl. However.....after seeing the 4-D sonogram, I sort of get the feeling it is a boy. I am a little surprised at how excited I am at the prospect of a boy, but, of course, either way will be thrilling.  His momma had to have a wisdom tooth extracted this week, so we were all relieved when the Doctor told them that the heartbeat is strong and he is growing right along (at the beginning I called him "her" all the time, mostly to tease his mother, but now I strongly feel he is a "him" and have been referring to him as so). You will be the first to know once I find out the gender, and you may notice my background changed from blue to pink, but for now, and for about a month, I will continue with the blue and continue to think of the baby as a him. I love looking at his little limbs and face and wondering about him. I love checking the growth progress and seeing what new developments he accomplishes each month. I think he is about 15 weeks old so far. He is already changing our holiday plans a bit, since his parents won't be able to travel for Christmas, but that is just fine-we will take Christmas to them, and then in January, we will come back to meet him....or her!
